On today's episode of the ringer fantasy football show,
we preview the divisional round of the NFL playoffs
with our special daily fantasy contest,
including Devante Adams against Jalen Ramsey,
the Ravens rushing against the bills,
and how the Browns will take on Patrick Mahomes.
They probably won't do very well.
We also do more trivia tiebreakers or showdown time.
And spoiler alert, somebody gets absolutely screwed.
Stick around.
Welcome to the ringer fantasy football show.
My name is Danny Highland.
Hyphitz, and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlebeck.
And this is the ringer fantasy football show, but fantasy isn't really a thing in the
playoffs so much.
So we're going to make this a game.
We're doing fantasy showdown.
We probably need a better name for this, but we'll get there.
False.
I don't think we do.
It's perfect.
It's endearingly stupid.
Fantasy showdown.
We're going to go game by game, and we're going to give our thoughts on who we like in
each game for the divisional round of the playoffs.
But we have made three separate daily fantasy lineups for this week.
And we're competing.
We're keeping track of all of our points for each round through the playoffs,
for all four rounds through the Super Bowl.
We're going to keep track of who wins and whoever wins.
It's not really about who wins, it's about who loses and punishing them.
Stakes are to be determined.
We will discuss that at the end of the episode.
But there is one catch.
And the catch is that we cannot use the same players in our lineups.
If we use the same players, you will hear this sound.
We will then go to trivia for the show.
down time or whatever we're calling it.
And the win out of the trivia question,
whoever gets the trivia question right or closer
to the right answer,
gets the player in question and the loser has to pick a
player of lesser value from the same game.
So for instance, like Hyphitz last week,
lost a showdown, lost the ability to have Derek
Henry, ended up going with J.K. Dobbins, who I think
out scored Derek Henry. So it did work out for you.
Oh, he did. High Fitz really screwed me last week.
We had showdowns in which I won Derek Henry
got screwed and then another showdown where I lost
Michael Thomas who of course had a great game.
Yeah, it's all, you know, that's skill.
Sorry, Craig, just be better at fantasy football.
I'm sorry, I don't know what to tell you.
All right, thank you to everyone who sent in trivia.
We got some unbelievable questions.
If you want to, if you have trivia questions,
ringer fantasy football at gmail.com.
It was just awesome.
Thank you for all those.
I think that email's in the episode description.
With that said, last week, DK's in first.
DK's team, he had 129
points he's in first.
Hell yeah.
I'm in second.
I had 102, which honestly,
I will take it after I was stuck with the Titans D.
I lost four players or whatever it was.
I'll take it.
And Craig, pulling up the rear there, bud.
89.9 points.
I got a 40 point lead on Craig.
I'm loving this.
Oh, you did math.
Live on Air, D.K., look at you.
Ish, is.
I had three players score zero.
So.
But the guys who played were fantastic.
Biggs, Ben.
I had Njoku, who
I think had one catch, so that didn't go great.
And my defense, I think somebody, I think,
didn't Corey Davis get hurt in the beginning of the game?
Yes.
He just retired.
Oh, he retired.
He retired mid-day.
I might retire midway through.
If I lose two trivia questions in a row, I'm going to retire mid-pod.
I would maybe make it three.
Three?
Okay.
You're right, two is pretty likely.
Two is like super possible.
Okay.
Downright likely.
Okay.
Let's, let's just dive into this.
Yeah.
Divisional round.
Divisional round, baby.
Only two games each day, two games Saturday, two games Sunday.
more manageable?
Yeah, last week was fun.
It's a little chaotic, though.
This is more...
It was too much.
I thought it was too much, too, man.
Too much.
It was way too much.
I love football.
It was like a freaking marathon, man.
I hit a wall sometime, like early Sunday.
I was like, this is a lot.
This is way too long of like watching football.
Yeah, I tapped out for Saints, Spares.
I was like, I'm going to take a beer.
Yeah.
I think a lot of people did.
The Nickelodeon was like a visual caffeine,
which I think was very important to be making a thing.
through the day.
So yeah, in the NFL slack at the ringer,
DK posted this article or this photo
that the Washington football team posted,
and it was of Taylor Heineke,
but he was really Minnie,
and he was diving into the end zone.
And the football team's Twitter said,
you know what the problem is,
you got it set to M for Minnie.
And D.K. said, what is this?
That's a SpongeBob reference
of the Wombo episode.
High Fitz, you know what I'm talking about?
Patrick has the...
Wombo.
You have the special belt.
Is it a mermaid man and Barnacle Boys' belt?
Is that what it is?
It's the Wumbo.
It's all about the Wumba.
That's why you, that's why your team lost.
You didn't have Wumbo.
But if you turn it upside down and you get the Wob, you go to Wombo.
That's why your team lost.
You didn't have Wombo.
You got to be set on Wombo.
It's all about the Wombo.
Whoever said on Wombo today will win.
I would have gotten it if it was a saved by the bell reference or potentially, hey, dude.
By the way, what's your favorite Nickelodeon show of all time?
Spongebob.
Okay, besides Spongebob.
Fairly odd parents was erased from the culture for some reason.
And I just love that show.
Although, Hey Arnold is number one for me.
And then Rugrats because they did the Passover episode, which was unreal.
I really liked Rocket Power.
Oh my God, Rocket Power was the best.
Rocket Power was sick.
Okay, let's move on.
Let's move on for D.K.
It was sick.
All right.
Rams Packers is the first game on Saturday.
Mm-hmm.
Yep.
Let's go one team at a time here.
Just the Packers offense.
Do you guys have players on the Packers in this game?
Okay, so I'm going with Robert Tunyon of the Packers this week.
Is that way?
Let's just list all the players first and we'll come back.
Yeah, list them first.
Is Tunian the only Packer you have?
Tunion is my only Packer, yes.
Craig, do you?
have any Packers?
Yeah, I got Tunyon as well.
Oh, wow.
Aaron.
Hell yeah.
Why am I not surprised?
Showdown time, baby.
Showdown at the end of this.
I actually don't.
But I do have the Rams defense, so I'm basically betting against both of you.
But, DK, why do you have Tunyon?
Okay, so my rationale with going with Tunyon is multi-fold.
For starters, he's $2,300 less than Kelsey.
And it kind of feels like they have a decently similar chance of scoring a touchdown this
week.
They both had 11 touchdowns this season, randomly.
I know that Tunyon kind of has.
He had like a three touchdown game that sort of buoyed him a little bit, but still.
The other thing I was going to say is Jalen Ramsey going to lock horns with Tavante Adams,
which, by the way, is going to be like one of the greatest matchups of all time.
I cannot wait to watch this.
And hat tip to Bill Barnwell, who looked this up and he talked about it on Meantime's show.
This is the first time they've ever matched up in the NFL.
Jalen Ramsey, the Jags did play the Packers when he was a rookie,
but it sounds like he played mostly in the slot, so they didn't really match up.
So this is a great matchup for Jailen Ramsey, Devante Adams.
I could just see Rogers having to go to his other options a good amount in this game because Ramsey is that good.
And so I think the guy he trusts the second most on his team is Tunyon.
I listened to Ian Hardett's show on PFF's podcast network and they were talking about this game.
They were talking about Ramsey and Devante.
And it was interesting because they were like, one, they're like Ramsey will like D.K said lockhorns to Adams.
But he's not going to shout.
They don't think he's going to shadow him 100%.
Yeah.
Like, Ramsey doesn't do that, but they did talk about a game a little bit ago when the Packers went up against Richard Sherman when he was really in his prime.
And Rogers completely went away.
Didn't throw it to the side like once the entire game.
Yep.
I remember this.
I do remember this.
Yeah, it's like that's kind of one of the narratives, the fantasy narratives with Rogers is like he's not going to force it.
If they're shutting down your guy, he'll just like distribute the ball to someone else who's open.
Yeah, so it's going to be like a chess match.
I mean, part of the reason I have Tunyon is for all the stuff that D.K. said, I have a, I have a couple fun.
little nuggets here about.
Tunyon's 2020 season was actually insane.
And this is also from that podcast, which I recommend.
D.K. was on it last week, Ian Hardett's podcast.
Yeah.
They started tracking targets in 1992.
Pre-Spunch Bob.
Robert Tunyon is the only player out of 3,639 players that has had more
touchdowns than incompletions.
Holy shit.
What the thing?
That is crazy.
He caught 52 catches on 59 targets, seven incompletions.
He had 11 touchdowns.
Oh my God.
That's like when the quarterback has more passing touchdowns than incompletions in a game.
We need a word for that, like the foals or something.
Yeah, yeah.
But for a receiver to do that, the whole season is mind-boggling.
That's amazing.
He's a TD dart throw in the tight end position, which, you know, is a wasteland every year.
This week, I don't, it actually doesn't seem too bad.
The tight ends aren't bad this week.
I don't know, maybe it's just these eight teams happen to have decent tight ends.
but I like Tanya and if I don't want to spend the money on Kelsey,
I think Tanyan's the best guy to get a touchdown after that.
I think that makes a lot of sense.
One last thing to add on Tanyan.
Good nickname.
Big Bob.
Big Bob.
Yeah.
I didn't know that was his nickname, though.
This is what I heard this week, and I like it.
Well, I'll just believe anything because we all called him Robert Tanya and then it turned
out everyone was pronouncing his name wrong.
It's easier calling Big Bob.
I think this is good.
You mentioned Devante Adams.
I just want to throw out.
Devante Adams had 18 receiving touchdown.
this year. The Rams defense allowed
17 receiving touchdowns this year.
So, this is just a crazy matchup.
I mean, the Packers are the high scoring offense.
The Rams allowed the fewest points on defense.
This is just crazy. And also just shout out
Robert Mays, our former colleague, wrote a great story
on the Rams defense this season. And basically, there's so many
aspects to it that are crazy. One of which is, you know,
all these offenses are doing pre-snap motion.
The Rams are countering it on defense with post-snap
motion. Like, they're doing all this crazy.
running around after the snap to kind of render the pre-snap reads worthless so that the
quarterbacks either throws out what they thought the play was or just is confused and does the
wrong thing.
But as Craig said, it really is a chess match what's going on.
And so much of it is about Aaron Donald on the Packers.
What is it?
Their left guard is named Patrick something.
That guy's going to have a tough day.
But this is a really cool matchup all around.
When you don't know his name and he's going against Aaron Donald, yeah, going to have a
tough day.
Yeah.
Especially, I mean, the Packer's signed, Jared Valdier.
who was the left tackle for the cults last week.
And then he was on the practice squad.
So somehow he got eliminated and the Packers were allowed to sign him.
And then he tested positive for Corona so they don't have a backup tackle at all.
It just reminds me of Austin Powers when he's like, look at you.
You don't even have a name tag.
You might as well just lay down.
That's exactly.
You don't understand a chance.
There's only two types of people I hate in this world.
People who are intolerant of other people's cultures.
and the Dutch.
And the Dutch.
All right.
I feel like Jared John would be Dutch.
Do you guys have any Rams?
Oh, wait, no.
Hey, I got Aaron Jones.
Oh, yeah, right, Aaron Jones.
So you like Jones in this game, but you hate Devante.
Yeah, so the Rams basically sell out to stop the pass more than they do to stop the run.
They do not stack the box at all.
The Rams are actually last in stacking the box at 21%.
So they're really committed to stop the pass.
So I think Aaron Jones will just have room to wiggle.
And he's a great receiving back.
the Rams also, there's not a lot of statistical categories
where the Rams suffer on defense.
The only area where they do is yards after the catch.
So I think this could be a game
where Aaron Jones racks up a lot of yards
and I'm not necessarily sure he could get a touchdown,
but that has been his forte the past two years.
So I kind of just like Aaron Jones.
They lean on him a lot in the playoffs
much more than they do in their regular season.
Yeah.
So I think he's a strong play.
He's $7,800.
Okay, other side of the ball, do you guys have any Rams?
I do not.
I don't either.
I do.
I have Robert Woods.
of the Rams.
High Fitz, it looks like you have one.
Well, I have the ranch defense,
which I guess I could mention
in either part of these categories.
I just had the ranch defense for what I said.
I'll break down Woods first.
How about that?
Great.
I was waiting for high school.
Great.
Waiting.
Buffering.
I got the little rainbow wheel here.
I can't talk unless he says,
sure.
Okay, so I'm going to go with the Rams.
So let's see.
Breaking him down.
The last time Woods had fewer
than seven times.
targets in a game. It was mid-November. So the dude is just number one, very consistently
getting targets, which obviously you want. He's been relatively quiet the last few weeks,
but I just have this hunch that he's going to be like a big deal in this game. Cooper Cup is still
day-to-day with a knee injury. He did not practice on Wednesday. I did not see yet. It's Thursday
afternoon. I didn't see yet what he did today, but it's just one of those things where he could
be touch and go. He could re-injure it. I just don't really know what to expect from a cup. So I think
Woods has a chance of getting a ton of targets in this game. The other thing is I am a
little bit worried about like him matching up with Jaya Alexander who's a great corner.
But I don't think, I think it's going to be kind of similar with the Jalen Ramsey thing where
I don't think he'll necessarily trail him every single snap.
You know, they line Woods up all over the formation.
They run him out of the backfield, do jet sweeps, things like that.
They're going to find ways to get him involved.
I just like Woods.
He's very versatile.
I also really like his nickname, Bobby Trees.
That's a great nickname.
Big Bob and Bobby Trees, baby.
Big Bob, Bobby Trees.
I'm just, yeah.
just like Woods.
Like Big Bob, Bob, Bob nicknames.
That's what you like.
You just want guys named Bob.
Bob and a line.
Evidently, I do, yeah.
Two bobs in a row.
Okay.
All right, Hyvitz, why you like the Rams D?
I just, look, it's a weird week for defense.
And I went with the Rams defense.
I was between Rams and the Ravens,
and I ultimately went with the Rams because, you know what?
Is it stupid to bet against Aaron Rogers?
Probably.
Is it stupid to be putting the defense against the offense that had the most
points in the NFL?
Maybe.
But I also.
just love this ring defense. It's the most complicated.
I know. But also the Rams allowed the fewest points. It's the most complicated
defense. They have Aaron Rogers. I think that the
Rogers has his worst games when the Rams, when they can get pressured. I just
like betting on Aaron Donald. And I'm not sure Jalen Rams is going to shut
down Devante. I do think they'll be one and one when they have, when Devonte is the only
receiver on his side of the field. But I just kind of like betting on talent. I like betting on
scheme and I just think that this Rams defense can have success against the Packers,
even if it's hard. And there isn't a glaringly better option, to be honest. So I just
kind of wanted to roll with the best one and see if it's a low scoring game.
This has to think the lowest over under of any game this week.
So it kind of comes down to that for me.
Fair enough.
It does.
The overender is 45 and a half.
Yeah.
So I was like, well, you know, when in doubt, if I can get the lowest over under with the best
defense, you know, screw it.
Defensive player of the year.
All right.
We got to do a showdown here.
You guys got a showdown over Big Bobby Tunyon.
Showdown time.
We did get a few.
We wait, we did get a few emails about some alternate names for this.
I just want to read them off.
One, the Rick and Morty quote I was searching for last week was
show me what you got.
I watched that clip. It's pretty hilarious.
Someone also, Jake suggested fantasy fight night
and fantasy faceoff. We also got that from Aaron.
The best one came from Will who said that Yu-Gi-Oh,
it's time to do do.
But I never did Yu-Gi-O. Did you guys ever do Yu-Gi-O?
I don't know what that is.
Yeah, that is just that. I kind of think we should stick with Fantasy Showdown
because it's dumb, but it's our dumb thing.
Yes, I agree. I like those.
ideas, but it makes me laugh. I was listening to our pod the other day, and Craig's like,
delivery is just, it's on point. All right. Well, Craig, there you go. It's official then. Fantasy
Showdown. Craig, give it to us. Showdown time.
So, so he forgets what he's supposed to say. I know. Yes, it's a quick for a second. All right.
This is for Robert Tenion. This is from Corey. What is the total number of S&L cast members ever?
Oh, Jesus. Jesus. Can you give us a hint how,
many years it's been going? S&L's been around since 75. Oh, Craig just offers it up. I also think you
guys got to say the number at the same time because I didn't like how last week it just came down
to like whoever one first got screwed. That's a good point. I'm a big S&L guy here. I love S&L.
Let me think here. Yeah, this is tough. Because like people stay around for a long time. Some cast members
have 15 people. Some have like the first cast had like seven. Okay. I got a general number in my head,
I guess. Shit.
Dika, what do you think in here?
Are you ready, D.K?
The number that came into my mind is like 1,200.
Is that a lot?
Okay, I'm going to say...
Too many?
Or too little?
I'm going to say like 120.
Oh, God.
I'm waiting too high, aren't I?
It's like 156.
Dickett clearly does not watch SNL.
What is wrong with me?
Oh, my God.
Here's how I got there in my head.
Here's how I got there in my head.
I was like, so it's been like 40-something years, 45 years.
years since it's been going. And I came up with the idea that there was 23 cast members per
year. And then I just multiply it. Oh, so that was complete. So the whole process was completely wrong.
Everything about it. Way too many people. Also, most cast members stay for two, three, four years.
Batched it. Yeah, you had to go like 15 per year and then, but three year turnover. So it's basically
15 plus three times 39. I'm not used to losing these things. Now I have to find a new guy.
Yeah. So you have to do new guy from the same game. So you have to,
You're taking Higbee or Everett.
Oh, okay.
Actually, I pre-plan this because I thought either of those options would be all right.
Let's go.
I guess I'll take, I guess I'll have to go with Higby.
All right.
You get Tyler Higby.
Congratulations.
Okay.
Ravens, wait, wait, who do you guys think is going to win?
Packers or Ramps?
Make a pick.
Packers.
Yeah, this is kind of boring.
Okay, Ravens Bills.
First, let's just start with the Ravens on offense here.
Who are the Ravens you have?
D.K.
I got Marquise Brown.
shocking.
I have Lamar Jackson and J.K. Dobbins.
I also have Lamar Jackson and J.K. Dobbins.
And I also have Mark Cangers.
I love this game.
Wow.
So this is one of those funky games,
Hyphitz, where if we lose,
whoever loses the showdown does not get Josh Allen
because he is priceier, so we will have to get a
worst quarterback in another game.
No way, we're doing that or just the loser
get a backup quarterback, like has to take Robert Griffin.
That's just absolutely atom bombing their team.
I think the loser has to take Robert Griffin.
I think that's how it works.
Holy hell.
Yeah, no, he can't leave.
You only do that for defenses
because there's no other option.
Is that right?
Are we doing that, DK?
What do you think?
You guys have to plan ahead for this.
I planned ahead for all this stuff.
Like, you have to plan losing.
The loser has to take the backup.
Whoever quarterback or quarterback you want.
Yeah, that's how it works.
Has to be cheaper.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah, we established that.
I love this game for the Ravens.
I feel like the Bill's weakness on defense is their run defense.
And I feel like, I mean,
remember two weeks ago when the Ravens ran for 400 yards?
Because I do.
It was really hard to.
forget.
5007 yards of offense and like 400 plus rushing.
And I also think the two things I remember from the Bill's defensive performance, or really
the Colts offense against the bills last week, is that the Colts tight ends crushed
them against the bills.
I mean, my guy, Jack Doyle, the Colts tight ends combined for like 14 catches, like 136 yards,
a touchdown, a two-point conversion.
And then, believe it or not, the bills allowed the most catches to tight ends on defense
this year.
And the only team that had more receiving yards from tight ends against them was the Jets.
The bills can't guard tight ends.
I don't know if Mark Andrews can catch the ball, I will admit.
Dude, what is his deal?
But he'll get the chance.
Yeah.
So I like Andrews.
I also like the running game because, you know, there's only like five players that had more than seven runs of 20 plus yards.
And of those five, three of them are on the Ravens.
Lamar, Gus Edwards, and J.K. Dobbins.
So it's an explosive running team.
So I just like the Ravens in this one.
I like Lamar.
excited to fight over him.
Another thing is that the bills don't really get to the quarterback last week.
They had zero sacks on Phil Rivers, and they only had one hit on him.
And Del Mar's way better in clean pockets.
Is Lamar faster than Phil Rivers?
Just slightly.
They did like an at-home combine and compared it, and Phil ran like a 4-6.
Trundle.
But, yeah, so like Hyatt said, everything kind of lines up for Lamar.
And then, yeah, J.K., he's their Red Zone guy.
He's had a touchdown in, like, I think, seven straight games.
but the showdown will be interesting
but before we do that, DK, you got who?
I have Marquise Brown of the Ravens.
You can't quit him.
Just running it back.
Yeah, I'm just like I really can't quit him.
He has 38% target rate last week.
The biggest thing to me is like he's still getting tons and tons of targets.
He is very like hard to trust and a little bit sloppy at times,
but at the end of the day he's getting a lot of targets.
He's been much more consistent scoring-wise lately.
He has 10 plus points in Fanduil, seven straight games.
He's averaged seven targets a game in that stretch.
It is a tough matchup, actually, with the Bills.
Trudevius White's really good.
And you guys talking about the tight end situation,
made me a little bit nervous about my choice now.
But I'm sticking with it.
Also, love the nickname, Hollywood.
I think he gets to keep this nickname.
He's been so good over the last seven weeks.
He earned it.
He has been good.
He earned it.
So we're sticking with it.
He's been good.
But that's true, but also it's true that D.K.
Marquis Brown have a toxic relationship.
That's true.
Very tumultuous.
It's odd to watch.
It's like, it's kind of like Craig and, well, Craig has many players.
I mean, yeah, I acknowledge it.
I acknowledge it.
All right.
Other side of the ball here, the bills, I don't have any bills.
Actually, yeah, wait, yes, I do.
I'm wrong.
I have Cole Beasley.
Do you guys have any of the bills?
I have John Brown.
I have Devin Singletary.
Hmm.
I had single.
Terry and I actually changed him out for Dobbins
because I was like, what am I doing with my life?
I don't care that Zach Moss got hurt.
The bills were ready.
Devin Singletary's two touchdowns the whole year.
Zach Moss had one touchdown the second half of the season
and I kind of looked at Singletary and I was like,
uh, well,
also like what did the Ravens just do, right?
They just stifled Derek Henry and it's like, I mean...
Well, Devin Singletary and Derek Henry are like this close.
That's very true.
But like, so Devin Singletary gets 16 touches.
I'm not necessarily sure they're going to be that great.
I feel like the bills are just going to air it out.
Anyway, D.K., talk about Devon Singleton.
Talk about...
That was a shout all over.
As a turtle.
So, yeah, I'm going to say,
here's what I wrote down,
even though you guys just poo-pooed everything.
Zach Moss is out,
so obviously he's going to get
the lion's share of the carries.
There have been games where he gets
like 80 to 90% of the snaps.
I think that's going to stay the same.
The bills did add Devante Freeman,
but I think that's more of like an emergency option.
The Ravens were middling against Rodneybacks this year.
They actually finished 20th in points per game.
Massive value in terms of
If he's the 11th most expensive running back on the slate, even though he's going to get a ton of volume, or at least in theory.
Yeah, that's the thing.
He's so chief.
Yeah.
And I also like his nickname.
Motor.
What's his nickname?
Motor.
Motor.
Motor?
Who calls him motor?
His mom.
Oh, everybody does.
Where have you guys been?
Did he give the nicknames this week?
What is going on?
No, I mean, he's the best value probably of the week.
It's hard to get excited about Devin Singletary, but he's basically being priced like Zach
Moss did not get injured, so it's a little ridiculous. Craig, how did you take John Brown, and I took
Cole Beasley? So I took John Brown. John Brown had a goose egg last week. He really burned me.
He had four target zero catches. However, I was confident none of you would pick him. And I imagine
a lot of people in DFS lineups this week aren't going to pick him. It makes sense, right?
I'm not going to let recency bias influence me too much. He ran the same amount of routes
as Stefan Diggs. He played more snaps than any wide receivers. He's had 72 yards in his last three
games at least. One
stat I saw is the Ravens Blitz a lot.
Big blitzing team. All of John Brown's
touchdowns this year have come against blitzes.
I don't know. I think it's worth a shot.
He's pretty cheap and he's the second
best receiver with Josh Allen. That's a good little nugget.
John Brown running a lot of hot routes against blitzes.
That's fun. I went with Beasley because
I thought about Brown, but
Beasley is just, can I do like
the cliche thing? He's a gamer.
Kid is. But like really, seven catches,
57 yards last week with the knee injury.
Josh Allen post-game interview
out of nowhere, it just says,
I do want to give a shout out to Cole,
seven catches on his knee,
getting through it, he's tough as nails,
tough enough to get into the Salty Spatoon.
He didn't say that last part,
but I am ad-libbing.
He's tough enough to get in the Salteous Patoon.
And Cole Beasley said,
he won't be as limited this week as he was last week.
Apparently he played through a lot of pain last week.
If he's healthier,
I mean, Cole Beasley just had the best game of his career.
I feel like you could have a pretty good game.
Obviously, Diggs is digs, but Cole is Cole.
I'd also like to say that he's got some balls.
He tweeted out that he's going to have a new,
track release like during the storming of the Capitol last week.
So, dude, that, that was just, I don't know.
Okay.
I don't know if that's good or bad.
He's like, everyone's on Twitter right now.
It's a good talk against him.
That's true.
I don't consider that part.
That was a, if you move your album releases for Drake, like, when he drops,
you should probably move your album release for like a siege.
Yeah, I'd say so.
It's a good rule of thumb.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Is it time?
Showdown.
Who was showdowning?
Oh, my God.
Lamar and Jake Adams.
We do this twice.
Who do you want to do first?
Lamar?
No, we got to do
JK first and then
Lamar was second.
DK, you got to do this twice.
You're going to moderate here.
This one's for
J.K. Dobbins.
It is
Showdown time.
All right.
So, looking at
the trivia tiebreakers.
I'm going to try and find a good one here.
Okay, this is from Ben.
What is the value
in U.S. dollars and cents
of the gold floating around
in a bottle of gold schlager?
I actually always had wondering
about this.
That has real bits of gold in it.
You know how like sex panther has real bits of panther?
Goldfugger has real bits of gold, apparently.
Oh, no.
Okay.
Wait, I guess I have to look up the answer.
Hi, Vince, let me tell you right now, I have no fucking idea.
But we got to say it at the same time because we can't do the over under.
Because once someone says it, the other person gets to answer an over under, which is not fair.
Can we ask any follow-up questions or no?
Yeah, fuck it.
Why not?
No, no.
I mean, you can ask, but I'm not going to answer.
I don't know.
Like, what is a standard bottle of that go for?
How much does Goldschlager cost?
Yeah.
Let me know that like a real nerd.
How much does gold...
I did learn that Goldschlager means gold slugger means gold beater.
That doesn't help.
Okay, so according to Google, it's about 25 bucks per bottle.
So it's not high-end stuff.
Okay.
Do you want to say this at the same time, Craig?
Sure, man.
All right, count us down, DK.
Three, two, one.
$70.
$4.7.
Okay, so the actual amount of gold,
and it's 24-carat gold, little flakes of it,
little bits of panther,
approximately 13 milligrams in a one-liter bottle
as of December 2020,
this amounts to 78 cents on the international gold bottle.
Let's go, baby.
Danny, how the fuck did you know that?
go, baby. You said 70?
I said, like, 70 something. I can't remember.
Impressive. That's what... Yeah, as soon as I said,
I was like $4, it was like nasty.
Honestly, I based it entirely off of the $25 bottle,
which it can't be the word. I mean,
price margins, I don't know.
Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, I'm happy
that wasn't the Lamar one, although I'll probably...
No, I retroactively decide.
No, okay. So now we got to go for a little...
Well, you got to pick someone else.
It's weird that you're eating gold. Okay, so...
All right, I'll take guys. He's the same damn thing as J.K.
All right, D.K., you got to give us...
First of all, false.
He's, that's not true.
Okay, so this is a massive deal
because the loser here gets RG3.
Or, uh,
whoever the backup for the bills is.
Matt, uh,
Barkley,
Matt Barkley.
Yeah, there you go.
Oh, this is a big deal.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
Okay.
Jeez.
Oh, sorry.
Showdown time.
I'm like all depression.
Oh, this is a good one.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
All right.
Let's do it.
For Lamar Jackson.
from Michael in Glasgow
and I apologize if I mispronounce that
What is the population of Scotland?
Oh my God
Wow
Boy oh boy the population of Scotland
What
Like I really want to know
Kind of like what your ballpark is for this
I
Who's going first?
High Fitz?
I think we should say at the same time
Yeah, okay
Okay, three, two, one, go.
22 million.
Heifis, what did you say?
I said five.
Craig said 22.
Dude, Heifis, what the fuck, man?
Damn, me.
He's like right on.
Five million four hundred and six out.
Let's go!
Let's fucking.
Okay, I take it back.
I want Devin's singe back.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Dude, this is absolute horseshit.
It's unbelievable.
Heifens.
Hyphitz is like, I feel almost like he's cheating a little bit here.
No, I swear.
I swear I have not cheated.
For the record, Hyphitz did put these questions in the dock.
Interesting.
No, no, do not put that on me, Ricky Bobby.
Do not put that evil on me.
I have so, the people we email in and they include the answers,
I put into a different group of people, a list of questions I only use for you to.
I know.
And the ones that have a link, I put.
I believe you.
Remember when Craig said if he lost two in a row, he would retire?
Yeah, I'm not going to retire.
Maybe I'll wait for the third one.
So I'm going to pet RG3 is on IR.
I forgot about the Trace McSorley.
Oh, there.
Oh, Trace McSorley is on IR too.
It's Tyler Huntley.
Yeah.
I'm going to do Matt Barclay and maybe Josh Allen will pull a hammy.
Oh, my God.
Poor Craig.
That was a very important trick question.
Well, that was huge.
Thank you, Scotland.
Forever a fan of Scotland.
You're never going in the burn book.
Okay.
Brown's Chiefs?
I am deflated.
That's tough.
You're like Tom Brady's footballs.
Okay.
Browns Chiefs,
that's the first game on Sunday.
Do you guys have anybody in Kansas City?
I have Travis Kelsey.
I've got Tyree Kill.
I got nobody.
I won't Kelsey because he's Kelsey,
and he's really good at football.
What about you, D.K?
I mean, that's, yeah,
that's the basic gist of why I picked Hill.
I also not to,
oh, and I actually also have Patrick Mahomes.
Oh, I forgot to put him in the dock,
but go and,
with this guy
who's forgot about Patrick Mahomes?
Yeah,
he's pretty good.
He's the most expensive
player on the slate
just going for it,
9,200.
And I wanted the Tyree Kill
and Patrick Mahomes stack
going up against
the Browns who just gave up
500 yards to a derelict
version of Ben Rothesberger.
I mean, obviously,
that was like game script related,
but I just have,
I have good confidence,
Patrick Mahomes.
I think this offense is
really, really explosive.
Cheetah.
is a pretty good nickname.
What is Patrick Mahomes's nickname?
It's Patrick Mahomes. He doesn't need a nickname.
It's Mahomes.
Damn it. It kind of goes against my whole, like,
the whole trend here, but that's fine.
Anyways, yes, Patrick Mahomes,
Tyree Kill, going for that stack.
The Browns have given up the eighth most fantasy points
of fantasy receivers this year, so I like it.
Yeah, and the Browns, I mean, bless their hearts
for winning last week, but they got...
Bless their hearts.
They got Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson off the COVID list,
which was huge because the guy who was started last week
actually went on injured reserve.
He's out for the season.
So if they didn't get Ward and Kevin Johnson back,
they'd be screwed.
But imagine coming off the COVID list
and then having to go against Tyree Kill
and Travis Kelsey in this chief's offense.
Like, it's a nightmare.
And I just think,
but I think Travis Kelsey is going to be the main beneficiary.
I was looking at his numbers.
You know, basically the worst game he's had all season?
Well, he was like three catches for 30 yards.
Other than that, his worst fantasy performance
is three catches for 70 yards.
That's his second worst game.
of the season.
Yeah, he's like Devonte.
The floor is unbelievable.
So I just want Travis Kelsey on, I just want him on the team.
Same deal with Tyree Kill.
Actually, I wrote this down.
Hill has double digit targets or at least one touchdown in eight of his last nine
games.
He's like his floor is really solid too.
Do you see any way the Browns can actually slow the chiefs down?
Because I kind of like, I want there to be one, but I don't see it.
I mean, like, the only thing I can think of is the chiefs have been playing kind of down
to their opponents over the second half of the year.
They're, you know, they've had, I want to say like nine games.
games that ended up in like a one score game or whatever.
They haven't really been blowing people out of the water.
But at the same time, I think this is the game where they kind of get it all together and
do their thing.
But, I mean, I kind of thought the same deal with last week with the Steelers.
So we'll see.
Jeff Schwartz pointed this out on Twitter.
He's the brother of Mitchell Schwartz, the Chiefs right tackle.
The Chiefs are averaging 38 points per game after a buy with Andy Reid and Patrick
Mahomes.
38 points per game.
I like that.
The Andy Reid buy stuff is big.
All right, Craig. Do you have any, do you have any of you guys have any Browns?
Yeah, I have Jarvis Landry.
What about you, D.K.?
I have Nick Chubb.
I also have Nick Chubb.
And I have Jarvis. And I have, not Jarvis. I have Richard Hickens and Nick Chubb.
So we're thinking the same thing, right?
The Brown's got to run the ball to win this game.
Like, they got to control the game with Chub.
I mean, I think it's like that's their, that's the foundation of their offense.
That's their whole identity on offense is they got to run the ball.
You know, if they can manage to keep the game close or within like a run, not a run.
if they can keep it within a score or two,
then I think that they'll be in good shape
and then they'll continue to do that,
you know,
the play action game a little bit,
but mostly just trying to run the ball with Nick Chub.
I don't have to convince you, really,
to go with Chubb.
I mean, he's like the best running back in the NFL, maybe.
Yeah.
No, I agree.
And then Higgins is like my Chub insurance
because if the rounds don't actually end up running a bunch,
if they'll throw a bunch and Higgins is just really well-priced.
But Craig, you went with Jarvis.
Yeah, Jarvis has just kind of been Baker's guy.
the last five weeks of the season, Landry was the wide receiver 14.
He had 92 yards in a touchdown last week.
You seen a lot of targets at the latter half of the season.
You know, obviously I think this is going to be negative game script.
And Jarvis seems to be Baker's guy.
Jarvis is good.
He is good.
He's been good.
Okay, so.
You guys got to do a showdown.
Yeah, we got to do the showdown.
Okay.
Craig, you got to pick it.
Craig, you got to do the intro first, though.
Right, right.
It is showdown time.
What did he do?
said last week. Why didn't we workshop this?
This is mid-workshop.
This is the workshop. Oh, wow. This is a really
good question. Hopefully this is
Googleable. I'll ask it if it's not. We're going to cut it out of the pod.
And no one will know. Okay, this question
is from Emily. The cheesecake factory
entree with the most calories is the pasta Napolitana.
The entree with the least calories is the white chicken
chili. What is the difference in calories
between these two items.
Oh my God.
So you Google the cheesecake menu, Craig.
Yeah.
Pasta Napolitana.
I have a thought.
Sounds heavy.
What's the most absurd amount of calories
an entree at a regular real restaurant could have
without just like people just like
rising up against it?
Don't answer that.
Don't answer that because I'm using that
as part of my answer here.
Yeah, don't you remember the bloomin' onion
at Outback Statehouse was like the,
highest caloric intake ever,
something crazy.
Okay, I have the difference.
I have my number, DK.
All right, you go first.
Well, I thought we were going to stay at the same time here.
Yeah, do same time.
All right, fine.
Three, two, one, two thousand.
I was going to say $2,200.
Okay.
Hypha twins again.
It is 1,725 calories.
Oh, so the chicken chili is really bad.
So the pasta and Apollatana has 2,300.
110 calories.
And the white chicken chili has, yeah.
And that's a lot.
That is your whole day.
I know that's a lot, but I was thinking it was going to be more absurd.
That's like $3,500 in my mind.
Right.
And the white chicken chili has $585.
Okay.
I was thinking it was like $2,500 and like $500.
You know what, though, D.
D.K. here?
I think you could, I mean, I think Kareem Hunt could have a better game to Nick Chub.
I know.
This gets really game script.
Yeah, this isn't exactly a terrifying one to lose for you.
No, it's not exactly Matt Barclay.
I thought this through.
I thought this through.
I'm going, I'm definitely going with Cream Hunt.
And there's a good chance that, I mean, he's been getting all the goal line stuff.
Like, for whatever reason, they put him in when they're in, like, side the 20-yard lane, side the 10-yard line.
They've also used him in the passing game a lot more.
So, yeah, I don't feel that bad about Cream Hunt.
He is significantly cheaper.
2,000 bucks cheaper.
Hives is 3-0.
Let's move on to Buck Saints here.
What do you guys got, D.
All right.
So I got a few Saints.
incorrect. I only have one saint.
Flex.
Taysam Hill.
Taysom Hill is a good one.
I think that's a terrible pick,
but I'm also think it's a great pick
and I'm really jealous of it.
That's what I was going for. I wish I thought of it.
I have Michael Thomas and Alvin Camara.
What's up?
I have Michael Thomas. I wanted to just take
Michael Thomas from Craig again.
And you know what? It's looking like that's going to happen again.
I'm like either manning. A three and I'm going to go four in the playoffs.
All right, D.K., give us your Tassim Hill pitch.
Basically, I just said fuck it.
I wanted to go for like the gusto on my flex spot.
I'm just hoping Hill gets in like a goal line package or two.
Maybe I'll get lucky.
He throws a TD pass or catches like five passes.
I don't know.
You never know with this guy.
You never know with Sean Payton what he's going to do.
Just feeling a little saucy.
The other thing I wanted to mention, going along with my great nicknames trend here,
I wanted everybody on my team to have a great nickname.
Tazeum Hill might have the best nickname of all.
And I'm stealing this from Ryan Clark on NFL Live.
You remember how we, we, and,
Sean Payton has compared him to Steve Young.
We've talked about how the Steve Young career arc is like somewhat similar.
Like Steve Young didn't really do anything until I was like 30 years old in the NFL.
Ryan Clark came up with this.
Taysam Hill is Steve Old.
I think that's the fucking greatest.
Steve Old.
I will not take credit for it, but it is funny as hell.
That's good.
It's like a rest of the development.
It's like a rest of development.
Steve old.
The other thing I want to.
to mention about Taysam Hill, which I found
when I Googled him one time and found
this on Wikipedia. He was named
his parents named him after the Taysom
Rotary Park
in, I believe it's in Salt Lake City
or something like that.
Is that a trivia fact? You're giving us?
Taysom Rotary Park.
What is a rotary park?
City of Pocatello. So
wherever Pocatello is.
That sounds like Hollywood Brown's nickname.
That's Idao.
Idaho, not Utah. Sorry.
I didn't know where
Tayson what was from. Anyways, Taysom Rotary Park, which I'm guessing is where he was conceived.
Otherwise, I have no fucking clue why you'd name him after Tysam Rotary Park.
Throwing stuff out there. Okay. All right. So, assuming he was conceived?
You Google a picture of this park and tell me why else they would name him after this park.
It's probably a good guess. Just a very generic park in Pocatello, Idaho.
If anybody knows the Hill family, if we could find out why he was named that, that'll be a
trivia question. Yeah, don't ask where he's conceived. That's none of our business.
It's neither here.
Yeah, that's not something you ask people, maybe.
I don't know.
But if they just happen to tell you, then...
Okay, anyways, before we get fired,
Craig, give Thomas and Camara going out there on a limb.
Yeah, Cameras, Camara, I don't know.
I don't have to say much.
Week 16 and week 18, Alvin Cameras set career highs and carries.
He had 22 carries in week 16, career high.
Then he had coronavirus.
And then week 18, the wildcard round, he had 23 carries career high.
So they're really leading on him right now.
obviously he's Alvin Camarra. With Michael Thomas,
you know, he's still kind of cheap.
Fifth most expensive wide receiver, he's probably
still top two, three receiver in the actual
league. The Bucks are a big first half team.
Bucks put up a lot of points. They're number one in the league in first half points.
And Michael Thomas, 2019, led the NFL in targets when the Saints were trailing by seven or more.
So, you know, either way,
I think Michael Thomas can have a good game, but especially if the Saints
get down big early, I like Michael Thomas a lot.
Yeah, there's so many reasons to like Michael Thomas.
Thomas obviously broke the catch his record last year and like, you know, he's just was this unbelievable fantasy force when healthy. I don't care about any of that. The real reason is that I don't think there's an NFL player who's more obsessed with the last dance than Michael Thomas. Maybe Mitchell Trubisky. But like Michael Thomas has just taken on the Jordan persona. Like he's trying to be Michael Jordan. If you follow him on Twitter or Instagram, he just see like, like I just so believe that he's going to come through in the playoffs because I think he's been thinking about it ever since March. I love it. Let's showdown for him.
Because I'm going to lose them.
I'm happy for you that you get Michael Thomas.
All right, it is showdown time.
The penultimate showdown of the episode.
Okay.
All right.
So, let's take a look at our list here.
I like this one from Emily.
How many states in the United States have more cows than people?
God damn.
This is great.
High Fitz is going to nail this too.
I know it.
How many U.S. states have more cows than people?
And I'd love for you to name them.
I'm going to write them down so that I name them.
Okay.
You're going to write down the physical states' names?
Yeah.
I think bonus points if you get them right.
Can I look up the United States a map?
I've got...
Yes.
Yes.
Hold on.
Don't give me the answer yet.
Don't give me the answer yet.
Craig is going to look up the United States.
While you guys are doing that, I wanted to bring...
As if that's going to help.
I googled Patrick Mahon.
Like, you know how pro football reference has, like,
all the NFL players' nicknames that no one's ever fucking heard him to say?
Yes, I do.
Do you want to know some of Patrick Mahomes' official nicknames according to PFR?
Yeah.
I've never heard any of these.
Showtime?
Magic man.
Magic man.
I think I've heard somebody say Showtime Mahomes.
Showtime Mahomes.
Magic man Mahomes.
The musician?
I kind of like that.
Fat trick?
Fat trick?
Fat?
Like, they call him fat?
Why is he fat?
I guess so.
He's not that.
He's not fat.
I don't know.
Okay, I'm ready.
The gunslinger and my home boy.
I've never heard any of those, to be honest with you.
My home boy.
I like the musician, though.
Anyway, so High Fitz, you're ready.
Craig, you're ready.
So you guys just keep it in your head.
You don't have to say it.
Just don't cheat.
High Fitz, you go first.
You'll give me the number first.
Craig will give me his number.
I got eight.
I was going to say seven.
Danny has eight.
Craig has seven.
The answer is nine.
Damn it.
Can I name the nine?
My initial thought was 11.
Undefeated.
Can I say, I hear the ones I think it is.
I think it's Wyoming, Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, South Dakota.
I left off North Dakota, which was stupid.
That would have been nine.
It's not Arkansas.
Is Texas on there?
I couldn't figure out.
I figured there's too many people.
No, no, no.
Texas is not on there.
There's like several of the nation's, like, most popular cities in that state.
I tried to think of states that didn't have.
have major, major, like, multiples, major cities.
What are the states, T.K.?
Okay, the U.S. States, according to Vox,
is, are Idaho, Iowa,
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Wyoming.
Okay. There we go.
All right, so Hyphitz is undefeated.
What the fuck?
I get Michael Thomas.
Craig, what are you going to do?
No Darnell Mooney for you this time.
Well, so it's not too bad.
I can have Mike Evans or Antonio Brown.
Oh, there you go.
So Evans is interesting because Evans has basically
never had a good game against the Saints.
his career average is like 83
receiving yards per game. Against the Saints, it's like
50. And against Marshall and Latimore, it's even lower.
The last time they played the Saints in week 9 this year,
he had 64 yards, four catches. I know, and he's got the
knee thing, Latimore. I might take Antonio
Brown, but I don't know if I'm getting too cute with that
and just like, hey, why don't you just freaking take Mike Evans?
Antonio Brown had three targets last week.
Yeah, I think I'm going to do Mike Evans.
All right, can I give you guys my take on this game? Not shabby.
This Saints' Bucks game, obviously everyone's talking
this is like the oldest quarterback matchup of all time.
Drew Breeze and Brady.
They're like 43 and 42.
I feel like this game's going to go down to Will Lutz.
He's missed four of his last seven field goals.
And he missed an extra point this week.
It's like I just feel like this is going to be a Will Lutz game.
Wow. Will Lutz.
How old is Will Lutz?
He's 26.
Kids young.
But Tastem Hill also Taston Hill has fumbled seven times,
which I feel like is relevant.
So, D.K.
Don't forget that it's possible D.
D.K. gets negative points in this.
It is on the table.
Okay.
So talking about.
Bucks players, I now have Mike Evans, and besides that, I have the Bucks D.
I have the Bucks defense also.
I'm literally the only, basically the way I do Fandole lineups every week is I don't even
look at defense, I get the players I want.
And then whatever D is available, I grab it, because it's the playoffs, none of these
defenses are going to do anything.
Yeah, that was sort of my exact sort of strategy here.
They're cheap, which was attractive to me.
Second cheapest.
Yeah, the seventh out of eight teams.
They're playing Drew Brees.
who is 42 years old, 41 years old,
and he's no Tom Brady.
The other thing I was going to say is
the other choices in this price range
are defenses that are playing Patrick Mahomes,
Josh Allen, or Aaron Rogers.
You do the math.
I'm going with the team that's playing Drew Breeze.
So I'm going with the Buccaneers.
But Craig, I guess we have to do a freaking showdown.
Wow.
And the loser gets the Browns defense?
Yeah, the loser gets the Browns against the Chiefs.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Okay.
I've been really off on these.
I haven't been that off,
but Haifitz has just been pinpoint accurate.
Heifitz is locked in.
Yeah, I got pretty close on a lot of these.
I'm not going to lie.
Okay.
Showdown time.
This is from Peter.
Peter.
How tall is the tallest building in North Korea?
By feet, stories.
Stories?
Stories?
I can't remember ever hearing is.
Okay, I'm not going to,
I'm not going to try and help.
Oh, Craig here. Actually, go ahead. Let's do this, Craig. Let's just, let's throw it out here.
Are we going to say at the same time? Do you have a number in, do you have a number in mind?
Yeah. All right. Three, two, one. Twelve. I was going to say 23.
No, it's 105.
Oh, shit. They've got a tall one.
I thought this question was tricking you into thinking there's like some mandate where you can't have any tall building.
Me too. No, it's an unoccupied hotel that.
It's the largest unoccupied building in the world.
This is so dumb because I've actually seen video.
I've seen like a documentary about this building and it's like super creepy and the
documentarian or whatever goes in and like there's no one in there.
Yeah, it's completely abandoned.
It's a cool looking building from the outside, but that must be haunted inside.
God, I totally forgot about that.
Is that really worthy of an entire documentary?
Well, the documentary was an empty hotel.
It wasn't about the hotel.
It was just about going into North Korea and how it's very hard to get,
like media credentials to go into that country and all that.
So it's like, anyways, I totally forgot about that.
I thought this was a trick question.
And there was like some, like Craig said, there's just no tall buildings there.
So the one trivia question I won today, you won.
So congrats, I have the Browns.
The one trivia question I won today was to keep Robert Tunyon, which is probably the
least impactful one.
I lost the Bucks D and now of the Browns.
I lost Michael Thomas and now of Mike Evans.
And I lost Lamar Jackson and got Matt Barkley.
Maybe if cows had been doing it instead of people, you would have done better.
Maybe.
All right.
I just want to say thank you forever to the people of Scotland, all 5.3 million of you.
I really just, just, you're all just very special to me, but especially Michael in Glasgow.
Okay, so now that Craig is definitely going to lose this whole thing we're doing, should we discuss
the actual punishment we're going to do?
Are we actually going to do this, or is this just throwing this on the pile of ideas?
We got an email from Alec.
And Alec is the reader who came up with fantasy entropy.
Which we used a lot.
we use a lot now. Thank you, Alec.
Alec wrote,
Hello, gentlemen, I've got a proposal for the loser of the playoff competition,
which is a twist on the 9-99 idea where you do nine hot dogs and nine innings of baseball and nine beers.
He proposes the Alvin Camara 666.
You rewatch the Christmas Day six touchdown miracle,
and during that time you drink six beers and you eat six servings of mac and cheese,
which is Alvincair's favorite food.
Seems like a fitting way to send the season off and exercise.
Six servings? That's a lot.
Six-six-six.
First of all, I don't ever want to bring that game into my memory ever again.
I think that's great because I've got some issues with cheese recently.
It's terrible for me.
You lost the Camara touchdown that game.
It's terrible for you.
But we're not going to do it realistically.
It's probably going to be Craig.
So what do you think, Craig?
Yeah, this is bullshit.
Why don't we propose this before last week?
Why is it now that I'm in last week?
We've got to do this.
And I've Matt Barkley now.
It's a good question, Craig.
Whoops.
It's a great idea from Alec.
I don't mind it.
I would do it if I lost fairly.
So let's pencil it in.
I don't know.
Yeah, we'll pencil it in.
We'll pencil it in.
We'll discuss.
Okay.
So let's wait.
Let's go through our teams and read how much money you got left.
I didn't lose.
So I actually got my team.
I have exactly $0 left.
I have Lamar.
I have Nick Chubb.
I have J.K. Dobbins.
I have Michael Thomas.
I have Cole Beasley.
I have Richard Higgins.
I went two tight ends.
I went Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews
and then a defense I've got
the Rams against the Packers.
Interesting. I have
$3,200 remaining in my lineup
now.
Holy crap, $3,200. Yeah, it was
200 when I came into this stupid game.
Let's see. I got Patrick Mohams a quarterback,
Kareem Hunt, and Devin Singletary
at running back, Robert Woods, Marquis
Brown, Tyree Kill at receiver,
Tyler Higbee at
Tideon, who I lost, or I lost the
Robert Tunyon sweepstakes,
Taysam Hill at Flex
Taysam Rotary Park
Pocatello, Idaho
and then Tampa Bay Buccaneers
as defense. I have 3,200 left.
Not a deal.
I'm basically just banking on it.
I just have one less player
than you guys because of Matt Barclay,
so I'm hoping that I can really kind of excel.
You know, it's not, it wouldn't be a miracle.
This stuff has happened before.
Sure.
You just need Camarron have a good game.
Like, that happened two weeks ago.
All right, so I have $3,900 remaining
and my team is Matt Barclay.
The funny is you have to pay money for Barclay.
$5,100 for Matt Barclay.
It's like the same amount of pay for Cole Beasley.
But the rest of my team, not terrible.
So Alvin Camara, Aaron Jones,
Mike Evans, Jarvis Landry, John Brown,
Robert Tunyon, Gus Edwards, in the Browns.
Yeah, that's fine.
Absolutely.
Now you know how it feels.
I had to watch the Titans defense
against Lamar last week.
Oh, God.
This is absolutely beautiful.
If Matt Barclay gets a single point,
you guys got to like,
you guys got to have one beer in a certain amount.
happy to apply like a five-time multiplier to anything that Barkley does.
I will like you.
You want to put that in writing?
That's podcast.
I'll just say it out loud.
All right, guys.
All right.
This was great.
Thank you, Craig.
Thank you, D.K.
Thank you to everyone who sent in trivia questions.
Ringer Fantasy Football at gmail.com.
Send more and it's a lot of fun.
Thank you.
Again, thank you, Scotland.
And thank you, Lorne.
Lord.
I'm going to say thank you to the longest johns, the sea shanties.
Are you guys getting into these sea shanties this week or what?
DK, did you just speak Spanish?
I don't, I have no idea what you're talking about.
What the hell you're saying about?
You guys haven't been on Twitter for the last like four or five days.
Seashanties are taking over.
I don't know what's talking about.
What is, what is what is a what is a what is a what is a what is a what is a
that sounds like a like a place in SpongeBob.
It does actually.
Yes, like next to Weenie Hut Jr.
So I googled them and it says I can't believe you have seen these.
I can't believe you have seen these.
He's why.
Yeah, Craig.
Where are you?
You're the TikTok guy.
Well, maybe I've heard.
heard them, but I don't know it's them. I don't know.
Okay, so real quick, I'll just tell
the story. Sea shanties are
like an old, from like the 17,
1800s, like sailors would sing them while
they're doing their manual labor on the
boat. And they, like, blew up
this week on TikTok and Twitter because
this one guy in Scotland, hey,
one of the 5.4 million people in Scotland,
he created, he sang
a sea shanty, and then
on TikTok, you can like harmonize
with other people. And so, like, all these people
did different, like,
added the baritone, the tenor, the bass, and created like this incredible harmony on the
sea shanty. And it's amazing. And I can't, I honestly cannot believe you haven't seen this because
it's been all over. Can we drop this at the episode, Craig? I don't know. What are the copyright rules
with that? I have no idea. I really don't know. Figure out who'll get sued. I don't know.
Regardless, you should look at it as great. C shanties. I really honestly can't believe you
haven't seen this because it's been everywhere. All right. Thank you C shanties. We'll see you guys on
Monday.
