Now, here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath. Happy holidays, everybody. Get your lineup set. Put in your best players. And never forget to shoot the glass. I said that to Dan a few days ago. He didn't know what it means. He knows what it means now.

We will have the Dan Schneier diehard review in just a little bit. Do it now. Do it now. No, no, no. I am really blown away and stunned by how many questions we're getting this week. Obviously, people have been eliminated, but the questions, more questions this week than maybe any week all season. It's amazing.

So I put a lot in the notes today. We'll get to as many as we can, and we'll do some news and notes as well. Hey, how you doing, Dan? You ready? You ready for a big weekend of football and holidaying? I am ready. And I think I agree with you. You talked a little bit off air about this first.

Like I am a bit thrown off by just like it's a Saturday slate. Like all the games are on Saturday and I'm kind of just trying to adjust to that. Like tomorrow's football, but it'll be fun once it comes around. Jamie spoke to you a little while ago. Everything good? I still hate you. Okay. Let's do some news and notes here.

Not a lot, but this thing on Taysom Hill, Jamie, there's a report that we could see a lot of Taysom Hill. So what do you make of that? And why are you so excited to start him as a quarterback and not a tight end on FanDuel? I mean, I would prefer to start him as a tight end, but I think for DFS purposes, you could start him at quarterback and he's cheap.

And that's on drafting. On FanDuel, you can start him at quarterback, and he's cheap. And that's on drafting. On Fandle, you can start him at tight end. And so that's the more ideal scenario, clearly. But I think he's going to run, and we like running guys. We do. All right, so this is Taysom Hill, obviously tight end eligible, at Cleveland on Saturday. This is one of the games we have circled as a bad weather game,

maybe a legit bad weather game. Thursday night was a bad weather game. It was. It may not have looked like it, but it was. So where did you end up with Taysom Hill in your rankings, Jamie? I have not updated that yet, so I'll probably end up settling on him in somewhere like between 10 to 12 in PPR and probably like 8 to 10 in non-PPR.

Mark Andrews? Taysom Hill in non-PPR. Okay. Half PPR? Taysom Hill in non-PPR. Okay. Half PPR. Taysom Hill. Aaron Donald is out. I believe Latavius Murray practiced. I'll try to double check on that, but it looks like he's going to be good. Yeah.

Latavius Murray practicing today. Hayden Hurst is out, and Cliff Kingsbury apparently could walk away from the team, from the Cardinals according to ESPN. So we'll see. That seems a disaster. Yeah, they sure are. Which is something I remember you talked about

a lot during the preseason. It's kind of a concern you had about the Cardinals. I guess their fantasy options were fine, but they were really rough this year. FFT in 5 is our five minute version of the show hosted by Chris Towers. Check it out.

We'll have an episode for you tomorrow. Okay. So I'm publishing this on Friday instead of Saturday. So we'll have an episode for you tomorrow morning. That'll be me and Jamie going through the injury news. The normal thing that I do with Heath on Sundays will be me and Jamie tomorrow, Saturday morning,

get you that update on FFT in five. It'll also be in the main FFT feed. But every day we got something in the FFT in five feed it'll also be in the main FFT feed. But every day, we got something in the FFT and 5 feed. Real quick stuff. Usually more like 7 or 8 minutes. But it's great stuff. Very helpful for those of you who don't have a lot of time. Start with our Apple Podcast questions, and this one

comes from Alex Wilson. And he says, Dear Clapton, Roberts, Fisher, and Weddle. Erics. All Erics. Erics? Erics? Erics. Okay. So I listen to the podcast all the time.

I recommend this podcast to anyone who has a podcast league or whoever likes having best hair debates between two average hair guys. All right. I have Jalen Hurts. We have so many Gardner Minshew questions. Yes. I think the answers are pretty much always going to be Gardner Minshew. Gardner Minshew or Brock Purdy for this man? Minshew.

I'm actually in the Purdy camp. I know we discussed this on Tuesday. I don't know if I'm staying with it. I think Purdy's going to have a really big game. And why do you think that? So, just from watching this Washington football commanders team over the past two of the last three weeks, that defense is starting to fall off. They had a nice little run, and I think that Purdy is going to be able to exploit them, especially with Kittle and Ike.

Why do you think their defense has fallen off? They held the Giants to 20 points twice. They held the Giants to 20 points in the first time, and then the second time, obviously, was a defensive touchdown was part of the 20 points. But just the way that they looked more susceptible, especially if the injuries are still bad for them in the secondary. I don't know. I haven't looked at the updates there. Cameron curl,

I think is going to be out. They are getting chase young back too. I mean, that's a big part of it. They're getting young back. Yeah. And we'll see how he is in his first game back, but I just have a feeling with Purdy.

I'm going Purdy. Okay. How about Matt Christopher? Um, PPR half PPR, pardon me. Joe Mixon or T. Higgins? Higgins. Half PPR.

Yeah, Higgins. Okay, Jay Karatnik wants to know, Minshew or Brady? Very tough one. I just made that switch this morning know Minshew or Brady. Very tough one. I just made that switch this morning, Minshew. Yeah. We did this on the Tuesday show. I'm on Brady, but I guess I'm lower on Minshew than most,

so I can understand. I don't foresee this being a huge game for him against Dallas. We'll see, though. Hawkinson or Waller, and then Dobbins or DJ Moore? Hawkinson and Dobbins and not in half PPR. Same answers. I think Hawkinson's going to have a really big game against the Giants past defense.

This is Sean from a city called Denver. He said, I love this podcast. Adam, I like that. Adam had a very random take this year that everyone should eat light mayo instead of regular mayo, and it had me LOLing. It also inspired me to switch over to light mayo good for you it tastes just as good it's so much healthier or just no mayo less yeah yeah no i'm a no mayo guy

i had a phase in my life where i vowed that i was gonna get mayo on my cheeseburger every time i got a cheeseburger and that lasted like two weeks. It's good but just unnecessary. Why did you vow to do that? I don't know. I just decided that was going to be my thing. I was going to be the guy who gets mayo on his burgers. Have you ever had butter on a burger? No. Great. I mean, do you want to die? Alright, what else?

The other part of this question was we need an RB2 and a flex and PPR. It's not great. Chuba Hubbard, Brian Robinson, Darius an RB2 and a flex in PPR. It's not great. Chuba Hubbard, Brian Robinson, Darius Slayton, Marquise Goodwin. A running back and a flex. Hubbard, Brian Robinson, Slayton. Is it half PPR or full? Full.

Goodwin's a flex. Yep, for sure. I guess Hubbard. I guess Hubbard. Robinson or Hubbard? Yeah, I can't go Robinson against San Fran, so Hubbard. Butter. Some people are questioning butter on a burger. Yeah, haven't you ever heard of Culver's?

It's a Midwest thing. Everyone in this chat is supposed to be from the Midwest. I feel like 90% of people listen to our podcast and comment and rate us on iTunes are from the Midwest. So none of you have heard of the Butterburger and Culver's in the Midwest. Have you guys ever been to a Culver's either of you two? No, never heard of it. Really great Midwestern fast food chain. I've been to the Midwest, a very friendly place, the Midwest.

Very friendly place. Oh, my gosh. Went to St. Louis. Going from New York to St. Louis, it's unbelievable. It's like you didn't know people were nice. It is so true. Yeah. It's so true. And it's different kind of nice than the South nice, too. I think it's unbelievable. It's like you didn't know people were nice. It is so true. It's so true.

And it's different kind of nice than the South nice, too. I think it's a more genuine nice. You know what? I'm not going to offend anybody, Dan. All right. This is from Surge Reviews. Dalton Schultz or Evan Ingram? I'm going to go Ingram. The other question is Pollard, Zeke, or Chubb?

Pick one. Pollard, Zeke, or Chubb? Full PPR. Pollard, Zeke, or Chubb? Pick one. Pollard, Zeke, or Chubb? Full PPR. Pollard. Pollard, yeah. And full PPR. All right.

Lamar Jackson or Justin Fields? I think we're going to Fields there. Yeah, I don't think Jackson's playing. No, he's out. You can pick the hell of a list of questions. I don't have to read these. I don't know why I keep reading them. I've got lots of questions about people who aren't going to play. Devante Smith or DJ Moore?

DJ. I'll go DJ, too. I'll be the Devontae Smith. You'll Devontae, yeah. Leonard Fournette. You're the Dallas Goddard Ruins Devontae Smith guy. Yeah, but DJ Moore is DJ Moore. Fournette, Patterson, or Dillon is the last one.

Fournette. Courtland Sutton is practicing, by the way, on Friday. Ooh. I'm still going for it. Next question is a PPR question. T. Higgins or Christian Watson?

Higgins. Higgins. This is from Travis in Omaha. Rogers or Minshew? And then Carr or Minshew in another in Omaha. Rogers or Minshew? And then Carr or Minshew in another league? Minshew, Minshew. I'll go Minshew in those spots.

Bless you, I said. Is that funny? Bless you? No, it's not funny at all. Yeah, it's a little funny. Not funny at all. A, you're not the first person to make the Minshew bless you joke. You're like the 70,000th person who's made that joke.

And B, it was never that funny to begin with, so no. People make that joke? I don't think so. You've never heard the Minshew bless you joke? I've never heard that joke. When Dan's walking down the streets and somebody sneezes, he says, is that the quarterback? Dan, do you think this is funny? A mule walks

into a bar. Bartender says, why the long face? A mule? Yeah. I've never heard about a mule walks into a bar. Bartender says, why the long face? A mule? Yeah. I've never heard about a mule. I don't think mules are known as having a long face. I think he's thinking of a different... Yeah, I think it was definitely... God, you're an ass.

God, you're a donkey. All right. Big Grissy is projected to lose by 20. So he needs some upside. Don't worry about the projections, all right? Fields or Herbert at quarterback, and then we'll have more questions after that, but Fields or Herbert?

I'll go Fields. He wants upside, so Fields. Over Herbert? Mm-hmm. He's looking for upside. I go Herbert just because there's no weather concerns or offensive line concerns at the same level. I don't buy it.

I need upside thing. What? Why did the picture go to jail? It was framed. It was framed. That's a little better. That's definitely better than the random mule joke that wasn't even told right.

It's actually... Okay. What? Mules have long faces too, okay? I don't think so. I don't think anyone knows that. They do, but nobody ever says... Yeah, no one associates mules have long faces too, okay? I don't think so. I don't think anyone knows that. They do, but nobody ever says. Yeah, no one associates mules with long faces.

I don't even know what a mule is. Like, I don't know the difference between a mule and a horse. There's no shot you know what a mule is. Do you? What's the difference between a mule and a horse? I don't really know what a mule is either. I think they lug stuff or they carry stuff. I don't know.

Hey, Adam. Yeah? Two goldfish are in a tank. What did one goldfish say to the other goldfish? What? Do you know how to drive this thing? I don't like that. I don't get it.

I don't really get that either. Tank? Like a tank, like a military tank. Oh, that kind of tank? There's a better punchline than that. Where do you fire from? I don't know. Okay, the other question from Big Rissy. Mixon, Dobbins,

he needs a running back, a wide receiver, and a flex. Mixon or Dobbins? Dobbins for me. Dobbins. Wide receiver. Oh, I'm sorry. Mixon, Dobbins, or Ken Walker? Still Dobbins. Dobbins, Mixon, Walker.

Wide receiver, Juju, DJ Moore, Ayuk, Watson. How many? One. I think I'm leaning Juju here. Juju on Christmas. And then we need a flex. We need Mixon, Walker, DJ Moore, Ayuk, Christian Watson.

Mixon. Yeah, Mixon over those guys. From Joe, PPR, DJ Moore, DJ Chark, DJ Slayton, or Zach Moss? Moore, Chark, Slayton, or Moss for full PPR? Mm-hmm. Moore. Yeah, it has to be Moore in full PPR. Hey, Dan.

Yep. You know what Forrest Gump's password is? Jenny. No, it's one forest one. I don't know. Why did I not get that? How could that go over my head? That's not easy.

What again? Bucks DST. Oh, run, Forrest. Run. Oh, you didn't get that. You didn't understand it. That is bad. The one.

I thought he said one. He did say one. That's the. It's a. You're OK. Chargers DST. That's the... It's a pet. You're... Okay. Chargers DST. I need to go to Google.

We really need to improve these jokes. No, Jamie's got great... Jamie, tell the one about the restaurant in space or on the moon or something. Oh, let me see if I can find it. I remember it. You want to tell it or... Okay, whatever. You tell it.

Chargers DST, Bucks DST, or Cowboys? Bucs for sure. Bucs. Against McSorley, that's easy. That's one of my favorite plays of the week. Okay, from TheHammer97, Mike Williams or Jarek McKinnon PPR? Williams or McKinnon. McKinnon, I think.

McKinnon, wow, you leave McKinnon there. That's how far he's come. That's close. I'll go McKinnon, though, too. There's more volume, Jack. There's more volume, I think. You'd go Williams? Yeah, I would.

Dan changed the camera angle. It doesn't look like he's sitting on the toilet anymore. What the F? Sitting on the toilet? What are you talking about? Brandon, can you explain what you mean by that? It did not look like that, but that is a really funny comment. Really funny comment.

I didn't change the camera angle. I didn't really change anything about the camera angle. I also love that you just cursed again. You are so bad at not cursing. You're so bad at not cursing. I said, what the F? Oh, my gosh. How does it look like I'm sitting on a toilet? You're so bad at not cursing. I said, what the F? Oh my gosh. How does it look like I'm sitting on a toilet?

It doesn't. It doesn't. It's a funny comment though. That's great. All right. Question from Udog41. Okay. I lost Jalen Hurts.

I need upside. I'm an underdog. Should I start KJ Osborne or Marquise Goodwin over guys like Slayton or Drake London? Yes. Godwin, for sure. Goodwin, goodwin, goodwin. Yeah, I like Goodwin a lot this week, too.

I actually think that Osborne's a really sneaky play, too. The Giants are going to do exactly what they did against Washington, which is bracket coverage the entire game against McLaurin. That'll be against Jefferson. So both Thielen and Osborne, I think you're going to have some sick opportunities. In 20 years, Dan's hair will look exactly like Jamie's.

Great. That's the biggest compliment anyone could ever tell me. That's great. We've already established long ago, Jamie's the best hair on the show. I've never been gunning for that. All I'm gunning for is that it's better than that mess or whatever you want to call the top of Adam's head right now.

That can't be the bet. Look at it. Look at it. It's never been combed once. That's true. I used conditioner today, though. I don't do that often. You used to have such a good hairstylist. How much does she charge, I was wondering?

She charges $20. Are you kidding me 20 cannot find a haircut for 20 in new york not even close well you're paying more for that yeah 35 wow if i were you you know what you you should do you should fly down once a every six weeks all right uh the okay so all Yeah, you can go upside. I would start Goodwin over London for sure. I don't think I'd start... I would go Goodwin, Slayton, London, Osborne.

All right. From DJ Poster Eyes, Justin Fields or Dak Prescott? Fields. Yeah. Cousin Ursus in the chat says, so funny about the toilet. I wish I had any idea.

Unbelievable. I don't see it, man. I do now because I'm thinking about it, but no, I don't see it. For real. Well, I mean, Adam, you are experienced at looking at other people. That's true.

Adam's haircut looks like the Beatles had a baby with Oasis. I can see that. I can see that. Adam, definitely. If someone told me Adam is the guy who shows up at parties with an acoustic guitar and rocks like Wonderwall, I would not be at all surprised. Those days are done. Those days are done. All right.

This is from Henry William Wilder. Big news. What now? Gronk. Oh, yeah. What did he say? I thought he said he's not coming back. No, it was the opposite, right?

Yeah. What's the new one? No, there's nothing. Is Jamie messing with us? Yeah, I told everyone who the Giants signed on the podcast this morning. They didn't care. Who? Michael Conforto.

Okay, Henry's question is? this morning. They didn't care. Who? Michael Conforto. Mmm. Okay. Henry's question is... I don't see anything on Gronk. Daniel Jones or Gardner Minshew? Minshew. That was close. I'm going Jones. And then PPR wide receiver two and a flex

from this group. Jerry Judy, Ayuk, Hollywood Brown, Fournette, Rashad White, Dallas Goddard. Judy. And then what else do I need? Flex. Ayuk, Hollywood, Fournette, Rashad White, Dallas Goddard. Fournette and Judy would be my place.

Yep. But I would start Goddard over Mark Andrews. He's currently starting Andrews over Goddard. Yeah, I would also start Goddard over Mark Andrews. He's currently starting Andrews over Goddard. Yeah, I would also start Goddard over Mark Andrews. Why does everybody think I'm such a dweeb? Adam is the type of guy that says toodles when he leaves. I've never seen that. You don't think you give up dweeb vibe?

No. I was nominated for Homecoming King in prom. Okay. I'm not. I'm very cool. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Then what do you do? You said no, but then you used the logic to answer that the answer would be yes.

I said, do you not think you give up a Dewey butt? I don't. Oh, you don't think you do? No, I'm very cool. Very cool. I was nominated for homecoming. Oh, you said you were nominated for homecoming? And prom king.

Yeah. Wow. It doesn't matter if I won. I don't remember who won. So you're obviously, without a doubt, showing up to your 10, 20, 30-year reunion. 20-year reunion is next weekend. Remember me? I was a guy who was nominated for homecoming and prom king the same year.

I'm wearing my sash. 20-year reunion is next weekend, Dan. I'm not going. All right. Homecoming and prom king in the same. Adam actually might be the first person in the history of that Florida school to be nominated for homecoming and prom king in the same year. He really is breaking records that year.

Yeah, I was. And Zach Brook, our producer, is talking crap about me in the chat year. He really is breaking records that year. Yeah, I was. And Zach Brook, our producer, is talking crap about me in the chat. Wow. That is bold. All right, this is from Peter in Central Florida. Okay, he says, I need a running back and a wide receiver three

and a flex. So running back, Pacheco, Mixon. Mixon. Higgins or Judy at wide receiver? I actually think Judy for me. Higgins with Judy at wide receiver? I actually think Judy for me. Higgins with Sutton back. I agree with that if Sutton's playing.

Start Judy over Pacheco. Yes. Defense, Bucs or Broncos? Bucs. Bucs are my favorite play this week. This is from The 72 Dolphins. Dear Harry, Marv, Kevin, and Peter. Harry, Marv, Kevin, and who?

Peter. That Home Alone characters? Yeah. Which one's Peter? Is that one of the Redhead brother? You know what's crazy? I've only probably seen that movie like once or twice in my life, and I still knew that answer.

Pretty impressed with myself. Really, that is amazing. It's like being nominated for two awards. The homecoming and I still knew that answer. Pretty impressed with myself. That is amazing. It's like being nominated for two school awards. I was nominated but I didn't win. Look at me. They want me to prove to the YouTube commenters I'm not a dweeb. I was homecoming and prom king.

Peter's the dad in Home Alone? I don't remember his name being Peter. I guess his name is Peter. You put that on your resume, don't you? I don't have one but I would. I guess his name is Peter. You put that on your resume, don't you? Yeah, you do. I don't have one, but I would, yeah. See, I'm not a dweeb. Put my GPA on there. I lost both the homecoming king and... Yeah, really.

I would say I lost. I would say I didn't win. All right, pick two in full PPR. McLaurin, Judy, Mike Williams. McLaurin and Williams. Definitely McLaurin, Judy, Mike Williams. McLaurin and Williams. Definitely McLaurin. Williams now that if Sutton's going to be back. So yeah, Williams.

Semi-final start from no name here. Captain Kirk Cousins or Tua Tungabailoa? Cousins. Tua. Tua. Tua. I'll go Cousins. I love the matchup. And a flex. Brian Robinson, Isaiah Pacheco, or Dion Jackson? Pacheco for me.

Aaron Donald's out for the year. Oof. From Medic Nick. Latavius Murray, A.J. Dillon, Josh Palmer, or Romeo Dobbs in full PPR? Full PPR makes that tough what do you laugh the mule beat Adam for probably

a mule walks into a bar says to the horse why the long face the horse says what are you doing here mule aren't we the same thing Latavius Murray AJ Dillon Palmer or Dobbs Dillon full PPR though he's the last one

okay I'm good with Dillon there I don't love any of the plays okay and People's Banker is in a half PPR six point per passing touchdown league Minshew or Aaron Rogers or Purdy Banker is in a half PPR, six point for passing touchdown league. Minshew or Aaron Rodgers or Purdy?

Similar questions to what we had. Purdy. Oh. If it's full PPR, I'd probably go Purdy. But since it's half PPR, I'll go with Minshew. I'm a Purdy guy over those three guys. We kind of answered this already. Okay.

And I think one more Apple podcast here. Told you we had a lot. From Poncho. Dear Sean, Daniel, Pierce, and Roger. There's no way Schneier knows that. No shot. You know. Yeah, those are Bonds. Oh, James Bonds. Marquise Goodwin,

Dion Jackson, or Michael Gallup, half PPR, and Dallas Goddard or Taysom Hill? Goodwin, Goddard. Yep. Okay. Poll question today. Did Dan actually watch Die Hard? And currently the no's are 65% say no.

What? Do you think I'm lying about it? I voted for yes. You lied? No. Of course I saw it. All right, Dan. I am really excited for a review. I said earlier on the show, you are Mr. Wrong and Strong. All of your takes are wrong and strong.

So let's hear what you have to say about Die Hard as a movie and if it's a Christmas movie. Dan reviews Die Hard. Go for it. So I'll start by saying I did go through the process i wanted to avoid which was purchasing die hard on someone else's amazon prime account that i borrow for other stuff and then having to go like hey i got this movie you want me to venmo you for a box of course no no no yeah why would i and it's just like awkward like you know like you don't want

to go through the oh should i send you the four nobody wants the four nobody wants to say something because you're like you don't want to just charge, show up on their account. So we did it. We bought it. We watched it. So great. Who'd you watch it with? I watched it myself.

Oh, okay. You know, like right after we streamed on Tuesday night, just threw it back and, you know, had a, had a little drink and enjoyed myself.

And it was great. Like I'd never seen even a scene from diehard. So it was all new to me. Uh, credible action. I'll start by saying this before we get into if it's a christmas or not because i have a very strong take on that side of it but as far as the actual movie goes some great i was waiting for the moment shoot the glass when he's

speaking to him in the german and then he then he does it my favorite part though is when the the guy who's he kills his brother and the guy's like they're chasing him on the roof with the machine guns he's like only i kill him only i come but then they're just firing off machine guns at each other as if like you control that you're not gonna kill him potentially i don't remember that wailing machine guns at each other back and forth on the rooftop excellent i love when he's shooting through the vents and he's trying to shoot him and he's like and bruce willis is in the vent like it just goes a little ahead of him just some great action moments like that i'll say this i feel like hans gruber was wildly underdeveloped in this they made him seem like this like big guy who's like gonna like you know he has all this plot and plan and even when he

first takes over he's kind of like talking about like you know you guys got too greedy and you'll never know but in the end he just wants some bail bonds or whatever he just wants some money like there was nothing really to his heist it was just about the money i feel like that was a little whack but it is what it is yeah not not great like they need a little bit more plot development with hans griff like give me a reason for why he's doing this more right um so there was that but overall amazing movie now as far as if it was a christmas movie or not i have no clue how anyone in their right minds could claim this is not a christmas i don't even i won't i'll listen to the argument, but it makes zero sense. The movie starts off with him getting off a plane and them saying Merry Christmas.

Then from that point on, the first Christmas reference, we have five more Christmas references, including even when he's in the car with Argyle and Argyle puts on like a mixtape of his own music. And he's like, come on, don't you have any Christmas music you can put on? Then we have Christmas music at the beginning of the movie. Christmas music could close the movie. It's a Christmas party to begin with.

There's so many littered references to Christmas in this. It is a guaranteed Christmas movie. Who says it's not and why? What is their argument? I don't want to go through this over and over again because I'm sure the audience is tired of it, but I'll just say it's an action movie with Christmas references. To me, amas movie okay has

certain themes it's about family it's about family i don't think it's about family at all how is it not about family because it's about him no it's not it's about him killing terrorists it's a it's an action movie it's about him killing terrorists the family stuff is so okay adam let me ask you this question the background. Does he win his wife and family back if he doesn't do everything he did to prove himself? No. She was not happy with him before. Oh, you think he had to save

the day to get her back? Yeah, he saved the day. Home Alone is about a burglary. No, Home Alone is very much about his family. Why is it about his family? Why is it about his family? They leave him and that's it.

Then he has to defend the house. Because it starts out with how much he realized he doesn't want his family. He makes his family disappear. Yeah, and Bruce Willis realizes that he wanted his family and he made a mistake by staying in New York when he went to California. The ending of Home Alone is the family all together

and the music comes in. That's the end of Die Hard. The end of Die Hard is end of die hard walking away from from nakatomi plaza with who with his wife right but they don't play christmas music play i think if they had had another scene at the end of him opening presents with the kids it would have been something no there are no kids who wants to watch that there are no it's a christmas movie that would be a christmas movie so so wait minute. Where did he go from... Let's play this out. Where did he go from Nakatomi Tower?

Right. Good point. He went back to the airport. He went home. He went to Los Angeles. He went to New York. He went to California. Let's play out Adam's stupid scenario. So he went home. What was in the car when he drove away? A teddy bear. For who? Right. For his girlfriend in

New York. No, no, no. You know that's no no you know that's the thing like it's it's just the movie could have worked at any time of year it came out in july it doesn't need it's not it's not about christmas it takes place during christmas there are certain movies that are about christmas and the themes of christmas you think about christmas you don't think about killing terrorists you think about your family and things like that. I forget the guy's name from Stranger Things. The Murdering Santa Claus.

Is that about Christmas? I don't know that one. The guy from Stranger Things, the police officer. Oh, I don't know. I don't know the movie. He plays like a psychotic Santa Claus. It's probably not a Christmas movie.

It's a horror movie. But he's Santa Claus, though. Well, I think it's not a Christmas movie. I heard it's so obviously a Christmas movie. Dan, you nailed it. Absolutely perfect. Good job. I'm glad you liked it.

I enjoyed it. It's such a great movie. It was epic, yeah. I'm not even the hugest action movie fan, but it was just fun. I liked Bruce Willis, and I liked how close calls and everything. Yeah, don't watch Die Hard 2. That's my advice. Okay, don't watch Die Hard. I get to watch everything. Yeah. Don't watch that. I heard too. That's my advice. Okay. Don't watch that.

Don't watch diehard five. Diehard five is it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen. That's not even a joke. All right. All right. Wet bandit says, explain why Dallas Goddard over Mark Andrews. I think Gardner Minshew is a better quarterback than Tyler Huntley.

Also Goddard has a really good history of the one time. I mean, it's a small sample size, but he went off with Gardner Minshew in the past. What more do you need to see of this Huntley-Mark Andrews connection? Yeah, right. Exactly. It's a controlled environment. You don't have to worry about weather. To be fair, one game was against Pittsburgh.

True. And one game was crazy bad weather. And one game was crazy bad weather. I don't think you've got to run away from Mark Andrews. I'm going to take back what I said. I'll start Andrews over Taysom. Wow. Oh, over Taysom, not over Goddard. Okay.

I'm Uh Okay, sorry. I'm reading some of the comments here. Okay, don't get too caught up in the comments. Oh, Zach's never seen Die Hard. He didn't want to spoil anything. Oh my God, Zach. What is with you guys? I thought you were kidding when you said no spoilers. don't think i can spoiler i i can't do the movie came out in

the 80s bro oh that was the other cool observation i had it was just so fun watching a movie in the 80s like when they first break in and they try to like break into the computer it's this old freaking desktop no one no one has cell phones so bruce wills is like on a on a landline yeah he's calling whoever. Just so many great, and some of the things they do in the office, like during the party is fun. Yeah, right. Adam, Senor Football says,

who is the guy that came on the podcast and said Die Hard was not a Christmas movie? Actually, we had the writer of Die Hard come on and say that it was a Christmas movie. So you're wrong, Adam. Basically, you've been proven wrong. I believe he said that he didn't think it was a Christmas movie until he came on set and saw all the Christmas stuff, which is kind of my point. The story of the movie is not a Christmas movie.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're not going to lawyer your way out of this. We had him on. Oh, I see your point. Yes, it's a Christmas movie. Well, I was being kind. Yeah. It was an amazing interview.

You should go back and listen to it. It was such a great, it was the best episode we've ever done. You're a dweeb. All right. Uh, I'm going to, I'll be right back. I'm going to take a break here and get my,

uh, homecoming King nominee sash and come back and do the, do you still have your speeches? I'd love to read them. I'd love to get a long break. Dan has to wipe. We'll be right back. Uh,

It's time for the fantasy cops. This first fantasy cops question. I can't look at that anymore. Here I am on my toilet. This one is a doozy. Oh, man.

I had to plug my nose just looking at Dan. All right. Email us, fantasyfootballatcbsi.com. I think we had over 15 fantasy cops questions this week alone. It's crazy. Love it. Okay, this one comes from Frank. Actually, I got this shirt from Frank. I'm in a 16-team, $50 IDP league.

I clinched a spot in the playoffs before week 14, and I won that week's matchup by two points to give me the fifth seed. So in the first round of the playoffs, I demolished the fourth seed by 70 points last week, week 15. I'm one win away from making the championship game for like 600 bucks. Oh, wait, never mind. I'm one win away from making the championship game for like 600 bucks.

Oh wait, nevermind. I go on the league this morning and Sleeper changed a week 14 regular season tackle by Denzel Perryman on Tuesday, nine days after that matchup. This retroactively gave me a week 14 loss and thus changed me to the sixth seed after my week 15 playoff game was already played. So instead of crushing the four seed, I now lost to the third seed by six points

and I'm eliminated from the playoffs. Again, to recap, I've been erased from the second round of the playoffs due to a stat correction that occurred in the regular season nine days earlier, and not one person said this was BS. What do the fantasy cops think? I'm stunned at a loss for words. I've never heard of a scenario like that

happening where they change the playoff matchups entire. That's crazy. I think a stat correction should be done before the playoff bracket comes out be done before the playoff bracket comes out. And once the playoff bracket comes out, it should be locked in. Yeah.

I just, what do you, like, I don't know what to do. This is one of those apps. I don't really know. I've never been a commissioner on sleeper. So,

so not a huge. Yeah. Go ahead. Let's, let's play this out two ways. I agree with what dan said that once the once the next week kicks off all stack corrections should be out the door if they haven't been updated already however if the stack correction come out let's say thursday morning which they

typically are i think are on wednesdays but let's say it's wednesday or thursday you would have had that same fate that you suffered as well now maybe you change a match change a matchup or two, you know, because you're the type of guy that wants to have my receiver against his quarterback or something like that. And that might've changed what your strategy might've been. But let's be honest, most people are going to set their lineups as they normally would have. So you would have lost anyway. So, um, what I think you should do, and maybe this is a lesson for everybody, is have a rule in your bylaws

that state any stat corrections past the point of the next scoring period starting don't count, especially IDPs, because IDP has the most stat corrections. Completely agree. It sucks, but that's, I think, unless it's been established, that's kind of where you're at.

So you think he's done? You think he's out? I think, you know, unless it's been established, that's kind of where you're at. So you think he's done? You think he's out? I mean, if his commissioner is not changing it, no matter what we say, he's not going to, I think, sway it. So I can't really make a strong argument to say this, to change it, aside from what Dan said, which, you know, I think that kind of has to be established. Yeah. I'm sorry, man.

It's a good lesson for them to learn moving forward, though. Like, they don't want this happening again, I don't think. Yeah, it's the same. What you could do is, you know, maybe you give the guys entry feedback or something, you know, to not make it such a egregious scenario,

but you know, it's gotta be like the worst bad beat I've ever heard. Right. Like that's terrible. I mean, nine, nine days after you find out that nine days after that changes your whole playoff bracket,

the commissioner have to go back in and change it themselves, or did the site just change it? No, the site did it all. The site did it all. And changed the playoff matchups after the playoff week had already been completed. That's just crazy. Yeah, it's wild.

Because we've all commissioned leagues before. I don't think anybody's ever gone back and looked at a two-week-old scoring matchup to say, oh, like, Nando and Jake Seeley in our telethon league tied. I haven't gone back to look to see if there was a stat correction. Yeah.

Why would you? That's interesting. Maybe we should. But I think we would kind of know about it. Okay. Sorry, bud. interesting maybe we should but we wouldn't i think we would kind of know about it but okay uh all right sorry bud next up for the fantasy cops it's jason in san jose jason says hey kane mac and latimer i got this is the one that's missing from my uh my movie collection i've never seen the program, which is bad. What's the program about? Never heard of it. It's a football movie.

Oh, wow. James Caan. It's a great movie. All right, heading into my Monday night game of week 14, I was down by one point

and I only had Ramondre Stevenson left. I realized that I would have an easier road to the playoffs as the four seed than the six seed, so I lost on purpose by putting Stevenson on my bench in favor of Aaron Jones, who was on a buy.

I think he meant to say he would have an easier road as the six seed rather than the four seed. My opponent was not in the running for a playoff spot. It didn't affect the regular season money payouts. It had no impact on any other aspect of the league. No one noticed at first, but the entire league knows now and they are pissed. The commissioner admits it breaks no league rules. So they're not kicking me aspect of the league. No one noticed at first, but the entire league knows now, and they are pissed. The commissioner admits it breaks no league rules,

so they're not kicking me out of the playoffs, but they are refusing to put my name on the league trophy that has every other champion's name since 2001. So please settle this once and for all. Is losing on purpose to get a better seed acceptable as long as the only thing it impacts

is the first round playoff matchups. Yes, 100%. I also am personally of the belief that even if it did impact the playoff matchups or if that person was in the running, it is 100% acceptable. You should be allowed to do whatever you want with your own lineup to personally put yourself in the best position to win. Why should that not be the case? And by the way, it's working. He said he won in round one, but would have lost if he didn't tank. put yourself in the best position to win. Why should that not be the case? I'm not really sure. And by the way, it's working. He said he won in round one,

but would have lost if he didn't tank. And I don't understand why he's supposed to not tank there. Like, do what's best for you. It's like when the Eagles threw the game in week 17 a few years ago. Right, to get the better draft pick when they put in Sudfeld.

What do you think, Jamie? I always think that these things could come back to bite you from a fantasy karma standpoint when you're trying to do stuff like this. But, I mean, there's no rules. It's just so petty. I'm not going to put your name on the trophy. It's funny. But I just don't understand what he did wrong.

Why should he not be allowed to do that? He earned that right. He earned that right. He got to that point. He earned the right to he got to that point. He earned the right to control his own fate. Yeah, I guess we're OK with it. I think he did great. I think he did great. And they're just being babies. OK,

from was this last one from from K.H. I had an invalid player in the I.R. spot last week during the first week of the playoffs. This is against the rules of our league, only specified for the playoffs for some reason. And it's written in the league rules, although half the league, including myself, admitted to not knowing the rule.

The problem is there were no punishments ever established for this violation, leaving an invalid player in an IR spot. There is, however, a similar rule in place for the second IR spot to only be used for players out for COVID-related issues. We implemented that last year and continued it this year for precaution. The violation for that, if you use your second IR spot for someone that's not on the COVID list, the violation stated a punishment of $10 fab reduction. So, all right, so he puts an invalid player in his IR spot. He wins the a punishment of $10 fab reduction. So, all right. So he, he puts an invalid player in his IR spot. He wins the first round of the playoffs. Um, but it's apparently a

violation of the rules, but no punishment has been established. There's a similar rule that you can't use the second IR spot for a non COVID player. And that punishment is $10 fab reduction. The commissioner put out a poll in the group chat to vote on four different punishments for my particular violation. One, forfeit the semifinal round. Two, five-point penalty in the semifinal round. Three, 10-point penalty in the semifinal round. And four, loss of draft budget dollars

for next year's draft. I challenge the idea of putting any sort of vote to the league members during the season. There should have been a punishment established before the season started. There will be biased votes from league members during the season, let alone the playoffs. I said as a compromise,

I would take the $10 fabric deduction set in place just like the other IR rule has set up for its violation. The commissioner seems to think that since it's the playoffs, it needs to be a harsher punishment. What do you think? Oh, and he just beat the commissioner, by the way, in the first round of the playoffs. What say you, fantasy cops?

I think there should be two fab punishments, one in the playoffs now and one in the regular season next year. Now, is that a fab punishment or is that a draft budget punishment? Definitely not a draft budget punishment definitely not a draft budget punishment i'm saying no if the punishment is fab reduction then and you think it's it's so egregious and the league votes that it's so egregious what this manager did then punish him twice punish him in the playoffs which probably not going to be that much of an impact when you're talking about what you're competing with and then punish him in the regular season or maybe do 10 this year and then five next year so it's almost like you know you're

losing a if you were to like like uh who just got punished the um what basketball team just got the next yeah so like the next lose the second round pick yeah so it'd be like if it was such a bad uh error that they committed or problem they committed that you take a first round pick this year and a second round pick next year. So take $10 now, $5 next year and ding them twice. Yeah, I think that's fair.

I don't think you can go any harsher, especially because like the original, you know, like this person stated, can't make a rule. Now you can't make the punishment now when it's in the middle of the playoffs and people are going to try to do something, you know,

and they're impacted by the decision. So yeah, I think Jamie's compromise is very fair. when it's in the middle of the playoffs and people are going to try to do something and they're impacted by decisions. So yeah, I think Jamie's compromise is very fair. And forfeit the semifinal round when you just beat the commissioner. Obviously, I was trying to get the commissioner into the next round of the playoffs. It's so stupid. Well, actually, I interpreted it differently

because he beat the commissioners in the quarterfinal round. So forfeiting the semifinals would be forfeiting this week, right? And so it would just give away... I'd like to be forfeiting the right to compete in the semifinals. Maybe. It's a terrible idea.

You can't just lose the week for that. No. Okay. Thank you, guys. Good stuff. Fantasy Cops, very judicious today. Very fair. Excellent stuff.

All right. This is from email. This is from email. This is from Kevin. It's from email. From email at email.com. Kevin says, Fournette or Jamal Williams,

Bengals or Bucs? All Bucs. Bucs for sure, and Fournette as well. Yep. By the way, Die Hard is a great Christmas movie, but one I watch and recommend every year

is Bad Santa. Oh, Bad Santa's amazing. I love Bad Santa. Finally. I was going to say, Die Hard might be my favorite Christmas movie, now that I consider it a Christmas movie, but Bad Santa is actually a better movie.

Finally, I saw Office Christmas Party on TV last night at midnight. What is that? I finally was able to watch it. I love it. And Heath didn't really like it that much. He thought it was a fine. He's wrong.

It is so funny. Almost every scene is funny. It's great. I think it's better the more you watch it, though. When did it come out? Six-ish years ago. It's kind of new. Jason Bateman. Kate McKinnon is so funny in it.

Jennifer Aniston is in it. It's a terrific movie. From Jason, J.K. Dobbins or James Conner? Dobbins for me. Dobbins. It's closer in PPR, but Dobbins for me. From David, Dear Dasher, Dancer, and Donner. Oh, the Hanukkah Elves.

Yeah, 85 Bears. I've been riding Diggs and A.J. Brown all year. Am I crazy to play Godwin over either one of them this week in half PPR? Diggs and who? A.J. Brown. Not crazy, no. I don't think that's crazy either i'm very nervous oh go ahead jamie i probably still stick with aj brown i'm very oh so you would bench you know you're locking in digs right i i think so i mean look there's there's clearly a lot of risk involved

because of the weather so that's what i'm thinking yeah you know take yourself out of that that's fine i i don't think i'm gonna be able to bench digs either i haven't been a couple spots but a lot of risk involved because of the weather. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. You know, take yourself out of that. That's fine. I don't think I'm going to be able to bench digs either. I haven't been a couple of spots, but I don't know, man, I feel like this could be a really ugly game. Weather wise. They're saying,

I think, I think the last time this weather happened, I think forgetting it now, I should pull this up or find it. RJ white, our editor had some great research on the last time a game had the, those conditions. And it was always under 30.

Like the points are always like 19, three, six, you know, like there's no scoring in these types of games. And it was always under 30. The points are always 19, 3, 6. There's no scoring in these types of games. So we'll see what happens. It is Josh Allen, though. Dan's favorite Christmas movie. Easy to pick your favorite when you're deciding between only two movies. Great call, RJ.

I do not watch a lot of movies. I've seen Home Alone, though. Pretty solid. Oh, man. Like I said to Dave and Heath, I recommend it off his Christmas party, but The Night Before is better. So please watch The Night Before.

It is so funny. Yeah, terrific. This is from Rob. This is a PPR league. It's also tight end premium, and it's four point per passing touchdown. So you have to bench one of these guys. Taylor Heineke, Trace McSorley, David Njoku.

Who are you benching? McSorley. McSorley versus Njoku? Yeah, I see almost no scenario where McSorley is going to have a good game and not even just produce any points for fantasy. So I think he's definitely turning it over twice, and then we'll see what else he can do. I wish we knew the penalties for interceptions

because if it's minus one, I'd be a little bit more okay with him. If it's minus two, then it's tough. All right, this is from Cameron. Sit one in PPR. Ramondre Stevenson, Miles Sanders, J.K. Dobbins, Ken Walker. Walker. Yeah, it's either Walker or Sandersers for me but i'll go walker okay from jacob in copenhagen denmark hey he's got a bunch of names that i've never even heard

of and i don't know how to pronounce them and i'm just not going to even go to your greeting sorry jacob choose two out of the following i am olivaiva. What's that? I am Oliva. I don't get it. What happened with me the other day on HQ? What did you say? So I had to do a news update while Adam was on the air with us. And it was in regards to, I forget the quarterback's name, but the kid that changed his commitment.

From UCLA to Oregon, I think it was,regon to ucla and he's the the third ranked quarterback in the class so for those of you that watch our hq show um on sundays i usually do a lot of the news updates but usually throughout the week i don't for whatever reason they had me do the news update and so it was like literally here you got to do this real quick so they write a quick script for me, and they don't tell me, though, what the graphics are going to be. So the script was he's transferring, he's changing commitment, whatever, from which school to which school, and he's the third-ranked quarterback in the class.

So then they throw up a graphic, and I have to kind of, when I'm done reading the script, I have to kind of get us to the commercial. So the graphic comes up, and obviously Arch Manning is the number one quarterback, and the number two quarterback. His last name was, I am a Leva. I think that's how you say it. But I, first time I see it,

I don't know what I'm, what I'm saying. So I'm like, Oh, he's behind arch Manning. And you see, he's in the mix with the other guy. So that puts him,

he's the number three, a recruit behind arch Manning and the like. The like. His name is Nicholas Ayamaliva, but there's so many letters there. And it's just, I thought it was so funny. Jamie was just like, nope, I'm not. Jamie's like, it's Nicholas, I am leaving this set, right? That's what I said.

I'm leaving this one right now. All right. So anyway, Jacob said, hi, AA, Ron, Balakai, Teroyal, Smoochie, Wallace. So these are characters from that Key and Peele skit, which is very funny. Choose two of these. Brian Robinson, Brandon Ayuk, Chris Moore, Zach Moss, Jeff Wilson.

Pick two. Robinson, Ayuk, Chris Moore, Moss, Wilson. I guess the first thing I would say is is can you see who's on the waiver wire because these guys are not the best option. So like if Goodwin was available, if Taysom Hill was available, does that have to be running back receiver or is it flex? I think just flexes. Yeah, I mean they're just not the best.

If this is the best you can do, I would say Hope Wilson plays and Zach Moss. I'd go Moss and Ike. From Danny in Vancouver, pick three from this group. Let's do sit one. Mixon, Sanders, Dobbins, Montgomery. Montgomery for me. Sitting them? Yeah, who are you sitting?

Mixon, Sanders, Montgomery. Dobbins, Montgomery. Who's that them? Yeah, who are you sitting? Mixon, Sanders, Dobbins, Montgomery. Who's that one? Dobbins. Dobbins. Heard of him? Yeah. I'm probably sitting Mixon.

Wow. Oh, let's see if you get this one, Dan. This is from Eric in Maine. Hey, Hans, Simon, Stewart, and Thomas. Diehard? Actually, yeah, you wouldn't get that. These are the four diehard villains. Okay.

Hans is the first one, yeah. I remember Hans. I need one in half PPR. And it's.2 points per carry. Latavius Murray or Christian Watson? Two points per carry. Or.2 per carry. Murray. Yeah, I guess you have to go Murray. So if he has 15 carries, Watson? Two points per carry. Or.2 per carry. Murray.

Yeah, I guess you have to go Murray in that format. So if he has 15 carries, that's three points. Yeah. I'll go Murray in that format. From Jason in Kentucky. 2QB Dynasty League. Would you bench Josh Allen for Kirk Cousins or Tua? No.

I don't think so. I'm just going to ride with Alan, but I'm definitely concerned about the weather there. All right. This is from no name on this one here. Dear Marvin, Reggie, and Dallas. Marvin Harrison, Reggie, Wayne, Dallas,

Dallas, Clark, Colts. Half PPR. Damn it. Jamie did get there slightly before me. Slightly before you? He got there on Friday. I got the same time as you, if not slightly before you. You know that line? Yes.

You know that line? Yeah, I got the same time. Oh, yes, I do know it. I got that the same time as you, if not slightly before you. I do know it. McGruber. McGruber. When they're putting together the case,

and Ryan, whatever his name, Felipe, is like, he now, MacGruber's like struggling to get in, and Ryan Felipe says, finish sending it. Nope, I got there at the same time as you, if not slightly before you. We've not talked about MacGruber how much I love that movie. We haven't, and I love MacGruber. It's one of the most underrated. It was like Step Brothers before Step Brothers.

It was so underrated, MacGruber. He's freaking hilarious. He's on another show called, oh, you hate him? No, he's amazing. Yeah, he's hilarious. He's on another show called, oh, you hate him? No, he's amazing. Yeah, he's amazing. He's on another show called Last Man on Earth. It's actually a really funny show. Yeah, I watched a few episodes of that.

Yeah. I couldn't keep it up, but yeah, it was great. Okay, half PPR, need three. Diggs, Keenan Allen, Chris Godwin, A.J. Brown, Hopkins. All right, so three of them. Diggs, Keenan Allen, Godwin, A.J. Brown, Hopkins. All right, so three of them. Diggs, Keenan Allen, Godwin,

AJ Brown, Hopkins. In PBR? Half PBR. Oh, boy. Diggs, Godwin, and who was the one before AJ Brown?

Keenan Allen, Chris Godwin, I'll go Diggs, Allen, Godwin, personally. That's a great option. I'm going to go Keenan Allen, Godwin, AJ Brown. I'll go Diggs, Allen, Godwin, personally. That's a great option. I'm going to go Keenan Allen, Godwin, AJ Brown.

I'm also good with that. But I just can't sit Diggs. I'm just not going to do it. I'm not playing in the semifinals and benching so far, Diggs. I just don't want to lose like that. I'll go Diggs, Godwin, AJ Brown. Yeah. My wife just dropped off a hot chocolate for me.

Oh, wow. That's really nice. Can you see the candy cane in there? What? A candy cane in there? See that little candy cane? A bunch of marshmallows in here. Let's give it a sample. Here we go. That's very good.

Very good. Does she make it with milk or water? Does she make it with milk or water? Does she make it with milk or water? My gosh, you would never make it with water. Never. Okay, good. Well, I'm just making sure. Milk, it's milk.

All right, YouTube, you all ready? You all ready for this? YouTube? Keep going. All right, Kittle or Andrews? Kittle or Andrews? Kittle. Pollard or Connor? Half PPR.

Pollard. Yeah. Matchup-wise, Pollard. It's not great, but Connor's is worse. Dear Rocky, Colton, Tum Tum. No idea. Three Ninjas. You know Three Ninjas, Jamie? No idea. Three Ninjas. Yeah.

You know Three Ninjas, Jamie? Never seen the Three Ninjas, no. You don't need to see it. I've never seen Cobra Kai or whatever. I've never seen any of that stuff. Karate Kid, nothing. Yeah, Three Ninjas and Karate Kid are very different. What's different? Well, Three Ninjas is a kid's movie.

Okay. Karate Kid. Isn't Karate Kid a kid's movie? No. Oh, my gosh. Dude, Karate Kid is on the level of Die Hard. It's that good of a movie. Wow.

Would you say that, Jamie? Slightly below, but yes. I always thought of it as a kids movie, knowing nothing about it, just figured it would be a kids movie. That's because Cobra Kai is... Once you watch Karate Kid, you gotta watch Cobra Kai.

No, you don't. It's a waste of time. Algier, Jackson, or Moss at RB2? Moss. Moss, for sure. Would you start Geno Smith or Aaron Rodgers? Geno. Yeah, that's also going to be a really cold game,

but I think I'd still go Geno. I think that one's just going to be freezing cold, not like any bad wind. Which quarterback do you like here from Cousin Ernest? I'm going to drink my hot chocolate so you can just read it to yourself. Okay, he wants to know my opponent took Minshew and

Darnold off waivers and I have hurts. I need the best quarterback after them. Foles, Huntley, Mills, Dalton, Ritter, or Willis? I'd go Huntley. You said Willis, Adam, and you said Huntley, Jamie?

No, I said Mills. Mills. I'd go Huntley. You said Willis, Adam, and you said Huntley, Jamie? No, I said Mills. Mills. I'd go Willis. General Mills. I'd go Huntley. Huntley. Can I ask you guys a question real quick? Isn't Nick Foles the answer here?

I'm going to go Nick Foles. I don't think so. No. Well, I don't know, but at least it's a dome. Can I ask you guys a question here? I'm in a horrific situation in my home league. I'm going for a three-peat championship, but I've been devastated by injuries jonathan taylor among them mike white who's my qb2 it's a two quarterback league so i just had a zay jones zero burger last night

so two one answer i already have so i don't need to ask but who would you guys rather start malik willis in a cold probably windy the The other guy. But the other guy is Nick Foles. Nick Foles by a million over Malik Willis. Malik Willis is thrown for 130 yards in two starts. But I'm thinking he could get some points with his legs. Jamie? Yeah, I can't trust Malik Willis. Okay, so it's Foles.

Okay. The thing that scares me about Foles, I had Foles locked in, and then I read this week, he's like, yeah, I mean, I guess the way the NFL works is I basically haven't thrown a ball since training camp. I didn't even really throw the ball much there because I was a third string. I didn't really get much reps. He just hasn't really played

and hasn't practiced with this team. It's like riding a bike. Those are the only options. Let's get some Sam Darnold. I'm lucky to even have gotten those options. I picked them both up this week. Because Heath is a snake. I have to start

Huntley or Heineke. Because Heath, out of the playoffs in our Dynasty League, decided to go get Gardner Mishu. Wow, Heath. That was an out-of-the-playoffs move. Wow. Geno or Cousins? Cousins, for sure. Geno over Cousins? Cousins for sure.

Geno over Cousins? I'm with you, Dan. I like them both, but I'll reduce the risk of the no locket. You know, no locket, like a little bit of risk. Cold as hell. I'll just go with Cousins. Cold as hell. Russell Wilson just went for 30 points against the Chiefs.

Davis Mills just went for 22 points against the Chiefs. Look at the Giants, man. The Giants are so bad on defense right now. Two weeks ago, Heineke was in the 20s. The Giants are really bad right now on defense. I don't think Cousins is bad, but I think Geno's got higher skill. Please start two running backs on a flex. Swift, Aaron Jones, Jamal Williams.

We're sitting Jamal Williams? Yep. Oh, no, it's non-PPR. I'm sorry. Are we still sitting Williams? Still sitting Williams. Williams? Yep. Oh, no, it's non-PPR. I'm sorry. Are we still sitting Williams? Still sitting Williams. Williams or Swift? Do you play both? Why? Over Aaron Jones?

No, no, no. No, you got to play two running backs and flex. Yeah. Actually, yeah, I think the flexes are terrible. I think I would go with Drake London. Gabe Davis, Drake London, James Cook, Deontay Foreman. Drake London as my flex. I think I'd go Aaron Jones, Swift, and London I forgot to mention there's whipped cream in here

Wow she hooked it up so well I mean come on Whipped cream, marshmallows I might actually get out of the toilet and come to your house I might have to go right back on the toilet I'll be there in five minutes Candy canes are I'm not going to have the candy's but i mean it's a good decor she really did

it up like yeah i mean like that was a really nice thing to do you're you're working you're on a podcast she's spending time watching the kids you know you've asked to have the kitchen sink open so you could brush your teeth she you know she she accommodated all of that for you in one day i told dad it was a tuesday night i told you this? That the present I bought for my wife Yeah, bogus present. He bought it for himself too. I bought another one for me. It's not a present anymore.

It no longer becomes a present. It's kind of true. It's so bad. Put the candy cane in the drink. No, I'm just not really interested in that. Let me read a few more questions here. Bills or Bucks DST and Godwin or Zeke in half PPR? That's tough.

Bucks for me, no matter what. I'm just Bucks all in on DST against McSorley. But then it's Fields. Do I start? Oh, Godwin or Zeke is the question. Godwin. For.5 PPR. but I like Zeke too. I might go Zeke.

Zeke. Njoku or Jawan Johnson? Yeah. I think I'm going Njoku. I mean, they're both in the same game. Yeah. There's a much more likely chance that the Browns throw than the Saints do. Agreed.

Godwin or Boyd or Gabe Davis? Oh, Agreed. Godwin or Boyd or Gabe Davis? Oh, Goodwin. Goodwin or Boyd or Gabe Davis. That's harder. I'm going Goodwin. Goodwin. So this is my other choice, and I'm glad I just got to hear your opinion, Jamie, and I'd like to hear yours too, Adam, because in that same hell of a matchup,

I'm deciding between Goodwin and Gabe Davis, and you would go Goodwin, right? Yeah, I would. Yeah, me too. I think if it were normal weather, I would go with Dave Davis. Yes, same. Even though he's a disappointment, I'd still go with him in normal weather.

Okay. Marshmallows. I never have marshmallows. They're delicious. One more question here. Still good. I mean, he just had a meal on the show. Yeah, that was incredible.

That hot chocolate was marshmallows, whipped cream, candy cane. I mean, come on. It really is a spoiled brat. Thank you, Mike. I'm going to give a shout out here to Shannon. She's in almost every one of our streams. Burrow or Fields?
