Speaker
Happy New Year. Stay fit. Keep shining. Make good decisions. Ladies and germs, your fourth place winner. Andy Franzen, born and raised in Texas.
00:00:35
Speaker
As my pappy always said, tenth place is the ninth loser. Here's... Jeff Mangan, he knows all the numbers from Japan. Whoa, Andy, um I know we just hit record, but we do have a caller coming in. Wow. I'm going to back him in.
00:00:54
Speaker
color I'm playing catch up on the old podcast and listening to the episode of Phil and gave me an idea to go visit Rhode Island in the summer and do the perp walk so looking forward to that this year anybody want to join me
00:01:19
Speaker
Oh, we lost him. Okay. Matt, you said you were going to do a perp walk?
Fantasy League Trades Discussion
00:01:24
Speaker
A perp walk.
00:01:28
Speaker
Matt, if you get a better connection, please please call us back. He's calling us back right now, Andy. Oh, wow. Great. Matt? So, i thoughts on pick trades.
00:01:40
Speaker
Okay. I'm a bigger fan of them in Dynasty League. yeah yeah But I understand that there are some people in this league that are huge fans of pick trades. ah So what I would say, if we're going to start
00:01:55
Speaker
trading future, future picks, like not just next year, but two years, three years from now, we should allow that.
00:02:07
Speaker
But whoever does it has to prepay their league dues for however many years they've traded picks for. let me have the question Yeah. Well, Matt, Matt, you're hanging up too fast. Matt, we did, we did talk about that.
00:02:21
Speaker
um Andy, that that was fen's week, right? That we were talking about how any year that you trade a pick from, you have to prepay. Yeah, but the system doesn't allow trading picks for its seasons in the future. And we're not, it's just not worth it to, to do that paperwork.
00:02:42
Speaker
But yeah, I'm i'm open to requiring. He's calling back. He's calling Oh my goodness. Matt, Matt, are you guys just back? Yeah, just had a thought about the and instead Dude, stay on topic. You guys should make it more accessible to people to listen to throughout the season.
00:03:03
Speaker
Because when you're in catch-up mode and you're you're listening to podcasts from weeks back, I just learned i won a game that I completely forgot about. And so, yeah, it would have been nice to know that week. That's all I'm saying, but I'll hang up.
00:03:22
Speaker
No, don't hang up. Matt. Matt.
00:03:26
Speaker
Yeah. He's just in and out. Yeah. It's a here and there kind of thing.
Podcast Accessibility During Season
00:03:33
Speaker
um I think he's come he's calling back again. Take it now or tell him to call back later, Andy. Nah, let's try and block him. Hopefully he doesn't have the second phone number yeah to call us from. I don't know. I can't remember if I handed that out.
00:03:51
Speaker
Yeah. So in lieu of our Qs and Cs this week, Matt brings up a lot of good topics. Maybe we'll throw those into next week's show because we will be back for one more show. Isn't that right?
00:04:04
Speaker
Yeah, it is. Should we tell everybody what's going on here, Andy, or should we just, ah you know? go I'd love to know what's going on. if You can tell me too. I would too. Well, we had the championship week and and our ah champion over celebrated, not feeling well, right?
00:04:21
Speaker
Shook too many hands, didn't wash his own. Yep. Too many hands, didn't wash his own. doesn't He's not a hand sanitizer guy. No. i don And I don't know if that's a good idea or bad, but he's out this week.
Champion's Absence and Winner Debate
00:04:35
Speaker
We're going to have him on the show next week, but he did win. So i don't know if we want to announce who won, Andy, or we're we're holding that off. um I think we should. Matt will find out in January.
00:04:48
Speaker
It is January already. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah. I meant next January. I'm still in December, Andy. I'm still in December. Yeah, Matt might find out a year from now, depending on how many more episodes we do this season.
00:05:04
Speaker
But I think we should we should save it for about 20 minutes here while we talk about some other shit. So in lieu of the Q's and C's, we're going to have a special double-sized Texas-sized edition, if you will, of the Mjolnir Minute.
Texas-Sized Mjolnir Minute and Sports Odds
00:05:22
Speaker
Awesome. Awesome. You got your stopwatch ready? I have to double it. So that's a pretty complex ah algorithm. But, yeah, I'm ready. Yeah.
00:05:32
Speaker
Yeah. Okay, double stopped. right.
00:05:38
Speaker
You're right, B. Marsh. It's a really good football team. The odds are in the favor of the Detroit Lions. But, guys... something in the air. There's something in the air.
00:05:49
Speaker
You two may not be to feel it, but I know on the other side. Jamie, you can feel it. Can you hear it? What's that sound, Erdahl? That's right. Skull, I'm going with the Minnesota Vikings.
00:06:04
Speaker
Upset city. I need it. I can feel it. The city wants it. We're going to get it today, boys. he did it. I did it. No apologies.
00:06:15
Speaker
So that was the best part of probably the Netflix coverage, Andy. They had Seth Rollins on the pregame show, and he was the only person for Netflix that picked the Vikings over the Detroit football Lions.
Sports on Netflix: WWE and NFL Surprises
00:06:34
Speaker
Seth Rollins, the professional wrestler? Yeah. Wow. you Okay. yeah WWE is on Netflix. Does that mean NFL's on Netflix too?
00:06:49
Speaker
Just on Christmas. I had no idea. Okay. Yeah. This is all, this is, see, I find out about things when Matt does, you know? Oh yeah.
00:07:00
Speaker
Yeah. Weeks later. um Yeah. So the big, the big, ah you know, the, I don't know, the big thing from the game was that we had three net passing yards for Brosmer and the defense was awesome
Harrison Smith's Emotional Farewell
00:07:14
Speaker
and we won.
00:07:15
Speaker
um How are we, ah one second here, Andy. Yeah. Can somebody please tell me how much time is left? One minute. Okay.
00:07:27
Speaker
Thanks for the update there, Andy. One last thing. Yeah, you know, and the fans are, the fans here are you know, never experienced the Super bowl always show up, and um for them to keep showing up. What do they mean to you?
00:07:50
Speaker
From the fans? It just shows how much they love the team, how much they love the, you know, everything that goes into it. You know, we're out of the playoffs.
00:08:02
Speaker
Everybody shows up in white. They do their part, you know. And one of these days, they'll get...
00:08:13
Speaker
A clearly emotional Harrison Smith had a hard time answering the questions after the game. After that, he had ah he had to walk away and compose himself. But, um you know, quite possibly his last home game as a professional football player.
00:08:29
Speaker
I'm not sure if he's coming back next year. So he had an interception in the game he He
Standout Fantasy Football Performances
00:08:36
Speaker
had a great game. so i think I think that's... Unless you got something else, Andy.
00:08:40
Speaker
to He's a legend. He is legend. I was just wondering how that three net passing yards is possible.
00:08:51
Speaker
Losing, you know, sacks. Okay. Sacks take away from your passing yards. Yeah. Okay. Apparently, ah those were the Second fewest for any winning team in the last 42 seasons.
00:09:08
Speaker
In 2006, the Texans beat the Raiders 23-14 with it minus five net yards passing. That's crazy. So there's there's eight yards there for anyone to reclaim or to claim the second place spot.
00:09:25
Speaker
That's a ton of leverage. Yeah, there's lots of room there. Second's not locked in and sealed for us.
00:09:33
Speaker
Well, um that's all that's all I got, Jeff, is at the end of the double-sized minute. Thank you so much. Also, due to our change in guest, we are moving our next segment to next week.
00:09:50
Speaker
We're going to have our first ever five questions showdown. Tune in for that. It's going to be super exciting. We hope everybody comes back.
00:10:00
Speaker
ah But for now, let's recap the final week of head-to-head action. I do have another call coming in, Andy. What? A different number. Oh, no. So I just learned about Cody Craig's nipple piercings, and I believe that I may have have one time made a lewd comment about his life, and now I'm second-guessing that Um, it may have been Cody calling me by my full legal name.
00:10:40
Speaker
Um, I just remember piercings. Right. Also, I was kind of tipsy that night, so I think it was Cody Graceway. He called you by your full name?
00:10:51
Speaker
Full legal name. Legal name. Just like, uh, what happened with, um...
00:11:01
Speaker
DK Metcalf in Detroit. Oh,
00:11:07
Speaker
I see. Yep. so So Matt keeps up to date on, oh no, that was like a week ago, right? it Two weeks ago, yeah. Okay, so this this is starting to line up par for the course. Yeah, okay. yeah Okay, good reference, Matt.
00:11:22
Speaker
Timely to your own... Talk about bringing that main character energy, right, Jeff? Like Matt's experiencing everything in his own time timeline. Right. Right. but But he's experiencing everything. That's part of it. I think it's a lot.
00:11:38
Speaker
It's a lot to ingest all this news and all this, all these podcasts and all this information. This is how many more voices? we got Oh, my God. Oh, my God. my god uh let's let's get to a game recap here let's start with the seventh place game this was between ethem and j-rod right Yeah, so in this game, this game featured the second highest scoring fantasy quarterback in the three-week fantasy playoff period of time, ah Brock Purdy. And the number one scoring running back for the fantasy season, and for most people, I think their fantasy MVP, Christian McCaffrey.
00:12:27
Speaker
Both players stacked on Ecom's side of the ledger. Okay. Jared, I think, saw that, and he went ah you know he went with the risky upside plays, um but did not did not see um the Brock Bauer IR move, I'm guessing.
00:12:52
Speaker
Yeah, yeah that's that's likely. But based on Jarrett's recent comments, I wonder if he was even aware he had a game last week. you know That could be. that could be yeah ah Because I didn't look at any changes between the week prior and last week, but um leaving a guy in on your IR slot doesn't really set you up for success. Now, that was his tight end position.
00:13:19
Speaker
Right. And it's a keeper. Probably. It's probably a keeper. You know. Right. I'm just going to do a quick look here because why, why actually prepare for anything? Sure.
00:13:33
Speaker
But I just want to see who, who was available. How many players got more than zero fantasy points at the tight end position? It was a lot. um I'm going to guess 25 free agents.
00:13:47
Speaker
free agents
00:13:50
Speaker
It was, yes, it was 46.
00:13:54
Speaker
46 free agents got more than zero points at the tight end position. Yes, in week 17. even Even Darren Waller got half a point, and he's on IR too. so I have a question for you, Andy.
00:14:10
Speaker
Yep. Do you know who the number one scoring quarterback in the fantasy playoffs was? I don't. One Trevor Lawrence, who is on Eakam's bench, but he picked the right one this week.
00:14:24
Speaker
So Eakam had number one and number two scoring quarterbacks for the fantasy playoffs. Wow. yeah I think I said this before, but maybe maybe there was a trade opportunity there.
00:14:36
Speaker
You know, lot of lot of points and that in a one quarterback league. Yeah. and I'm just jealous because... Purdy's a sixth rounder and Lawrence is a tenth rounder. So somebody might want to try to make a trade.
00:14:57
Speaker
What? With Mike. Trade that keeper at the draft. are you Are you trying to get someone to do some under the table ah trade train confirmations before next season kicks off? Someone should so should try to pry one of those guys off Mike's hands. a You know, Mike, he's going to keep them both.
00:15:20
Speaker
He is. so the one i have he only had i think He only had rostered one tight end. so Otherwise, I would have guessed he'd keep all those. Congratulations, Mike. Seventh place is yours.
00:15:32
Speaker
um That hurts your pick-pick standing. um Yeah, we didn't put much thought into how to how to incentivize consolation bracket teams to try. Yeah, maybe we should flip it.
00:15:49
Speaker
We got to work that out next year. If you win your matchup, you get the higher pick-pick status between the two. Yeah. Yeah. That sounds really good, Jeffrey.
00:16:00
Speaker
That's what the consolation bracket is all about. du Do we just do it now? Probably not. me Probably. 15 minutes in.
00:16:13
Speaker
I mean, is that... We might have to put it to a vote. I know which way four of the votes will go. yeah ah But I love that. for i love that.
00:16:25
Speaker
Okay. We've got to call her. Put him on hold or take it. Let's take it. Let's get it over with. Caller, you're on the air. Yeah, all right. DoorDash is trash. I haven't heard whether or not you passed or failed Cody for his Chipotle...
00:16:42
Speaker
door dashing or not but regardless of what you door dash it's trash well nobody nobody wants a fucking lukewarm fast food from anywhere so oh come on i I think DoorDash probably sort of depends on, you know, where you live.
00:17:04
Speaker
um If DoorDash is coming to you from Duluth, yeah, it's probably trash um if you live an hour and a half away from it. But, um you know.
00:17:17
Speaker
I know. I think it depends on where you are Do you think where Matt is, it's the same, like, three people and you know them all by name? Yeah. yeah Like, hey, Steve. Good to see you again. The person that, like, picks up the roadkill on the highway.
00:17:31
Speaker
Yeah. So it's like you call and see if he's picked one up or not, you know? So you're like, yeah, Butch, let me know when you drop that off. I don't really. I don't need those fumes mingling, right?
00:17:44
Speaker
Yeah. Jeff, remember just put the hatch back remember when we would borrow the Papa John's hot pizza bags for our own font?
00:17:57
Speaker
I think, does DoorDash have anything like that to keep food warm?
00:18:03
Speaker
I don't ah get a lot of DoorDash. Like a hot box? Because I'm not really DoorDash hotspot. so Like Matt Maxa. Yeah. Yeah.
00:18:16
Speaker
yeah Plus, like, anywhere ah around me, it's, like, 10 minutes max to get somewhere. so Yeah. Definitely. All right. or should we let's go we'll wrap it up let's Let's go to the fifth place game. Okay. This was the consolation winner on the line.
00:18:34
Speaker
This was Nick T versus Ray F. Yourself. Okay.
00:18:44
Speaker
This one, will wow. This one, Nick T was projected to win by 20 points going into Jeffrey. Yeah, that's a rough one. And see he lost.
00:18:59
Speaker
Sorry, Matthew. You and Matt are finding out now that you lost. um And, you know, the insult to it is that Kamen left a lot of points on the bench, too.
00:19:14
Speaker
or I'm sorry, Ray left a bunch points. Thank you Thank you. Don't reveal Bruce Wayne's secret identity here. Right. No, that was my bad cybers. ah Yeah.
00:19:24
Speaker
But the amount of these guys that are playing on these non-playoff teams that are IR'd now is pretty wild. It is. It must be something about... i don't know. There must be some other... for the last for the last game of the season, they don't want to give up that draft pick. you know Just like just like ah Nick t he was like, hmm, I'm helping myself with my pick pick here.
00:19:54
Speaker
You know what i realized when I wrote out Nick T but that I never realized before? This script was we actually have a Mr. T in our fantasy league, and that's that's an opportunity, if you will, yeah for next season that I'm going to think about.
00:20:14
Speaker
Yeah, well, this one was funny. One quick nugget from this one. The number two scoring tight end in the fantasy football played in this this game. um Would you do you have a guess, Andy, who the number two scoring tight end in fantasy was?
00:20:31
Speaker
Is it the pits or the kids? Senior. Isn't that crazy? That is crazy. He's been like a butt of jokes for years. and He has.
00:20:44
Speaker
Put up points. He did it just to terrorize ah Cody, but Cody somehow persevered. did, right. despite Despite Kyle Pitts tormenting him.
00:20:59
Speaker
Right. Seriously, he was the number two? Wow. Yeah. Wow. Okay. What a year. and And with all that quarterback shit going on in Atlanta, too.
00:21:13
Speaker
Still. Yeah. Right? I mean, I think that once Cousins became the quarterback, Pitts... I mean, Pitts had two pretty good games earlier in the season, but then once ah Kirk became the man, you know, he put up... I mean, really, he put up a 40-point game, so that... That does it.
00:21:39
Speaker
That does it. Yeah. Okay. The... third Third place game. Do you have time for that, Andy? We got time for all as long as the phone lines are clear.
00:21:52
Speaker
Yeah. Oh yeah, we do. Quick question on the the possibility of relegation. Yeah, we talked about this last years How would that work then with pick trades? Would you get rid of pick trades?
00:22:14
Speaker
if you act, if you start doing relegation or does the relegated team, the new owner called up, they just did what they did.
00:22:27
Speaker
And
00:22:31
Speaker
move on. Just curious. Well, that is a good, that is a great question. figure that one out when the relegation leak kicks up. and But ah right now, I don't think we have that one fully fleshed out.
00:22:47
Speaker
My guess would be that ah you're ah your pick is traded maybe... maybe um It hurts you double. it hurts you in the new relegated league. And then if and when you ever get promoted back up, you lose that pick again.
00:23:10
Speaker
Who knows? that That's an idea. Right. It gets paused. Right. That's an idea. Yeah. But I don't want any listeners at home to think that we're moving forward with relegation. I think I know where that came from.
00:23:27
Speaker
Someone brought it up, right? On the Discord, maybe? Yeah. Yeah. Well, we're not we're not seriously talking discussing this at all. so um Don't worry.
00:23:38
Speaker
ah can't remember who had the most negative reaction. Maybe was Cam. Don't worry. We're not trying to really make anyone sad.
00:23:50
Speaker
Let's talk. play game There we go. It was ah Mr. K versus Mr. F. And um I know that you were in this match.
00:24:04
Speaker
I did get a quick message from your competitor. So one second here. Hey, guys. Congratulations. Suck it, pal. We beat you. You lost. You're piece of shit. Nobody loves you.
00:24:17
Speaker
Nick's voice work is really, really improving. Yeah. I'm extremely impressed. Yeah, so am Yeah, this was this was rough. You know, my my end-of-season trade for Derek Henry really paid off in this game, except for the fact that I gave up, a I think, a second rounder for fourth-place trophy, basically, which I...
00:24:46
Speaker
you go back and look and I would have got this either way. Um, I thought my quarterback position was locked up. It wasn't, uh, thought out, you know, here, this, the whole Alec Pierce, Josh Downs debacle.
00:25:01
Speaker
Um, I threw good money after bed. That was for less than five points there, you know, on the this week, but yeah, but last week it would have,
00:25:15
Speaker
decided things yeah i mean i think the real problem was that there the the lions fell apart the last six weeks of the season you know i think i think it was offensive line finally caught up with them some people think that their play calling got too um too repetitive, too predictable when, when, um, he, when he took away the play calling from the coordinator and started taking over and making the play calls himself as the head coach. So I don't know, but you did have the number one scoring tight end, um, on the season.
00:25:56
Speaker
Yeah. So that's, that's something that's little feather in the cap. Yeah. Yeah, we don't have an award for that. But, you know. do put feathers in our own caps. So i didn't remember to remember to put one in there for you.
00:26:09
Speaker
We do. Thanks. That's really good to know. The interesting thing here is that both of you guys had no chance against the first and second place teams, right?
00:26:21
Speaker
Right. If either of you had made the finals, it would have been a bloodbath. So... it was a much It was a much better finale. And I was, you know, Jeff, I'm not going to tell Cody this, but, um and he'll never listen.
00:26:38
Speaker
So I can say this freely. But after I made the trade planning to, you know, match Brian blow for blow, because I thought no one else could.
00:26:49
Speaker
Um, I started feeling a little conflicted about it because of the thoughts I've shared on pick trading in the past. And i also didn't want someone to just walk away with the title. So really, i just wanted the best team to go up against him.
00:27:03
Speaker
And, uh, and have a good game. And I'm telling you, i've never I've never had such an exciting fantasy championship finale that I wasn't part of as I did that that night.
00:27:17
Speaker
That was a lot of fun. That Monday night was in insane. Insane. Insane. I couldn't. was on the edge of my seat refreshing the live play tracker because I couldn't watch it.
00:27:30
Speaker
But pretty exciting. Was that on ESPN? All the same. don't know.
00:27:38
Speaker
But to wrap, it's we're we're creeping into that. So to wrap this up, Nick K., Josh Allen came back after a dismal week 16.
00:27:51
Speaker
um Returned to form. Olave had a solid week. Solid week he's due for the season. Of course. Yeah. Loveland had his second best game of the year.
00:28:04
Speaker
Yeah. He really closed the season strong and, uh, uh, Bill Merritt also massive pickup. Yeah. he he had his second best game of the year. So, so Nick really, and of right.
00:28:20
Speaker
Cause was it? Yeah. Cause he had, he had, uh, an injury that he had, uh,
00:28:28
Speaker
Was it Chris Rodriguez Jr.? Yeah, he picked up okay Bill Marriott on Christmas. Good job. but Good job, Nick. But, you know, he could have just dropped in.
00:28:40
Speaker
he left He left points on the bench, too. That's why it wasn't and I didn't think I should have even won this one because i didn't. I left four on the bench and Nick left like 20. <unk> me So, you know, the the better team won. Congratulations, Nick K. Next week we'll announce everyone's winnings for the season. So um pay attention.
00:29:04
Speaker
That brings us to our championship game.
00:29:09
Speaker
We had some... this one was I like that what in the Tom episode. and Which one? Nick's voicemails was very reminiscent of Punk Only because it was just him talking to himself in a confused manner.
00:29:27
Speaker
Anyways, I'll hang up with this one. Matt, calling back again here real quick. I have live call-ins. yeah And then we can just have one never-ending episode of the podcast.
00:29:45
Speaker
So hang up and listen. He just wants a walkie-talkie open channel to the whole league. I'm checking the extra time real quick, Andy. We do have three minutes of extra time.
00:29:56
Speaker
That's all we should need to discuss this. but we'll We'll probably talk about this final matchup even more next week. Yeah. But... ah Let's see. the The best two teams of Week 17 squared off against one another.
00:30:11
Speaker
This was Cody, who had renamed his team to... So you're saying there's a chance? to bet I think that happened right before Monday night. Isn't i right, Jeff? This was a mid...
00:30:22
Speaker
A midweek named, by midweek, I mean between the first games of the week and the final game of the week. Correct, yeah. That was Monday during the day, I believe. He also asked us to play this one real quick.
00:30:37
Speaker
Well, Dak, here's the deal. I'm the best there is, plain and simple. I mean, I wake up in the morning, i piss excellence, and nobody can hang with my stuff. So I'm thinking that's what happened. And then he changed the name of his team Monday morning.
00:30:51
Speaker
Right. I imagine he was pissing excellence while changing the name of his team with his other hand. Yeah. I mean, shoot. You know, he made me look like a fool for dropping Jackson Dart after that one and a half point performance.
00:31:08
Speaker
That was pretty gutsy on his part to go Dart ah last second there. It was. After that week... It's very hard for me to trust a guy after a week like that, but but I'm clearly playing ah checkers while Cody Craig is playing chess.
00:31:27
Speaker
Chess. Chess. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was an interesting call on his part. Yeah. You look at this. i don't.
00:31:39
Speaker
Oh, my goodness. This recap, Jeff. We should share a picture of this matchup timeline. It is. It is crazy. Sure. Maybe we'll make that album artwork.
00:31:50
Speaker
Yeah, I think we should. the The way that pug life starts way down on Saturday's games and then shoots up by Sunday early and then it just flatlines until Sunday night.
00:32:05
Speaker
I mean, this is probably based on when players were playing, but it does feel like how the actual matchup went with them neck and neck going till the end. To the bitter end. Going into that final game, though, he had Puka Nakua and Kyron Williams going, and I feel like he was down like 10 points or something. Or was he up 10 points?
00:32:27
Speaker
I can't even remember.
00:32:30
Speaker
ah He was... oh goodness. I mean, I think he was up. Cause Cody still had Bijan. Yeah. here was a Yeah. And 16 to one. That's it.
00:32:44
Speaker
And he had the two guys going. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Oh yeah. It's right there. Um, that and then yeah.
00:32:55
Speaker
Bijan for 37. i mean, woofta. Woofta indeed. 37, ah with with a little despair. It's been enough days, no stack corrections here. ah You know, the...
00:33:14
Speaker
One thing worth pointing out is that the Giants' defense had their best output of the season, and they would have... they repair it I mean, they had to have been picked up specifically for this matchup, or to block someone from getting them for this matchup.
00:33:31
Speaker
Right. the the The best defense between the two final teams was sitting on the bench. That was just insurance. I don't know. Last minute choice. Who knows?
00:33:42
Speaker
um But that extra five points, as we know, would have swung things the other way. And we'd be telling a different story to- today. We'd probably have a guest on this show if that had happened.
00:33:55
Speaker
ah we can We can talk about how Cody constructed his championship roster next week. Does that sound good to you? Sounds great to me. So ladies and gentlemen, ah here are your final standings.
