Manatee Jackson's Solo Start
00:00:30
Speaker
You got Manatee Jackson on the microphone all by himself, all by his lonesome. But it's okay, it's my fault. No volunteers this week to join the pod. Got some interest. But you know what? Had a tough week. You got a sick baby all week. Kind of tough to drum up some excitement and get some people on here. So you just got me. You're welcome in advance.
00:00:59
Speaker
NFL week two. Shit show.
NFL Week Two Recap: A Market Manipulation 'Shit Show'
00:01:04
Speaker
I'm gonna sum it up in two words. Market manipulation. So, good luck.
00:01:13
Speaker
Manny lost, lost the $5 double up. We are one on one, one on one, one win, one loss for the year, which means I'm even just like my rap song at the end. Gonna come out even in the end. I didn't even sound like myself. That was kind of weird. So yeah, week three, we're gonna get back on track. We're gonna get back in the winning column.
00:01:39
Speaker
And, uh, I'll tell you how I'll, I'm going to do it next week when we review my, all the cards I dealt because I'm not going to, not going to tip my hat ahead of time. Go fuck yourself. I'm going to take your money. You're going to suck. I'm going to do yet.
Instagram Insights for Fantasy Football
00:01:54
Speaker
Uh, headlines, you know, I was poking around, poking around on that Instagram app, trying to figure it out, uh, surprisingly figured it out for like the first time ever, kind of.
00:02:07
Speaker
I never understood how to view stories. Every time I'd look, it'd just be like a couple of random people from like high school, even though I don't even know how that happened, which is weird. Cause I've got like, I'm just trying to think through this.
00:02:26
Speaker
Started the Instagram app many years ago, never used it. So had some like maybe like 20 friends or something. And then I thought, Hey, follow a bunch of NFL players to gain an edge in fantasy. Maybe I'll, I'll like, I'll see some inside information. Nobody else is really looking at.
00:02:48
Speaker
So then I started following like 300 dudes and haven't really figured out how to get any of that inside Intel that I thought I was going to get, or let alone just see any post. So I check it out the other day and I just scroll like a little bit. And then I finally saw it was like the story thing where it was just like NFL player, NFL player, NFL player. I'm like, okay, let's check this out.
00:03:16
Speaker
So I went through it a little bit. Uh, the first, really the only thing that comes to mind, I guess there's two thoughts. One thought is like all their posts are pretty lame. Knock on the lie. It's just like a, a share of, uh, a picture of themselves that some like professional photographer took of their game or practice.
00:03:39
Speaker
Which is fair. I mean, you're a public person. You don't want to be kind of nuts sharing too much on socials. So I get it. Most of the guys play
Austin Eckler: Guitarist Revelation
00:03:48
Speaker
safe. So I don't think I'm going to get a lot of juicy juice that I thought I was going to get.
00:03:52
Speaker
But one, the other thought, Austin Eckler appeared and he does that touchdown celebration where he does air guitar. I just thought it was like this thing he did. He actually plays the guitars, kind of impressive. It's like, okay, this dude actually plays guitar. So he had to posted a video of himself playing guitar. I think his wife was playing drums with him or something. Just seems like a, what a wholesome dude, you know?
00:04:21
Speaker
It's gonna be wholesome in this day and age, in every age. So take note, be more like Austin Echler. Yeah, so yeah, we're gonna figure out the Insta a little bit more. Try to figure that out.
Antonio Brown's Rap Career
00:04:43
Speaker
The other one, Antonio Brown,
00:04:47
Speaker
I don't know how, I mean, this guy has been like running around like a crazy person for quite a while. Literally ran around and ran off the field last year in the middle of a game, took a shirt off, ran off the field. It was during the fantasy championship week, which was hilarious for some people who may or may not have started him. Not myself, but somebody else.
00:05:16
Speaker
during the championship. Pretty hilarious. So now he's a rapper. It goes by AB. His initials of his name, Antonio Brown, AB, um, checked him out. Not terrible. Pretty typical. As far as like new rap is concerned, it's kind of like the numb tongue rap. Um, my dad, my been a boomer. I'll get on that app in a boomer stuff like that.
00:05:42
Speaker
Uh, it just sounds like the tongue isn't really working. It's like a lazy, like kind of like that ludicrous, uh, peanut butter commercial where he has peanut butter stuck on the roof of his mouth. And he's like, it's just kind of like that. And you know, his main song is I was singing it at the beginning of this episode, put that shit on because his.
00:06:09
Speaker
new, uh, signature dance to that song is kind of trending at the moment. And the best way I know how to describe his dance is, uh, I describe it the way like a fat person would dance where they can't really like move their whole body because they're obese. So they just kind of wiggle their hands around. And that's, that's kind of what his dance looks like. It's just like you wiggle his wrists and hands to the right, to the left. And like, that's pretty much it.
00:06:38
Speaker
Um, but it's kind of funny. You're starting to see some other celebrities copy him. I saw a video of like, uh, LeBron and Draymond Green doing his, uh, I don't know if it has an actual name. I think it's just called the, do your dance or something. I don't know. I try to look for a name and there's like a few things that, I don't know, nothing really said. This is the name of his dance.
00:07:06
Speaker
Uh, you might see more of it. I know Lamar Jackson said he's looking forward to doing that in the end zone. Um, George Paykins in the preseason caught that awesome, uh, in zone grab at the back of the end zone. I just said end zone a few times. There's kind of weird. And, uh, he did the Antonio Brown, the AB dance. I'm just going to call it the fat person dance. So Lamar Jackson might be doing it. Um,
00:07:37
Speaker
I don't know something to think about. Look into that. Check out his, his, uh, songs on Spotify. If you like the numb tongue rap. My been a boomer. My been a boomer. Get on the jet. My been a booming. You know, it's not, not terrible. And I kind of went down a rabbit hole. I was curious. I know there's a lot of NFL stars that have tried to pursue rapping athletes in general, in general, right?
00:08:06
Speaker
So I was just trying to see who else is a rapper and I only did one search for like the worst NFL rappers and really all that came up was
00:08:21
Speaker
this like top 25 list and there's only like a couple rappers in there. And William the Fridge Perry came up and he did a song back in, if you remember the Fridge Perry, a huge defensive tackle played for the Bears back in the day. He had a rap song and it was like, he was the refrigerator man was like the name of the song, which was just like your classic, um,
00:08:47
Speaker
You know, Will Smith, Fresh Prince of Bel Air rap type of beat from back in the day, like, or just falls that like, I don't know, that same, same old hip hop type of beat. Like, I'm the refrigerator man. I do what I can back in the day, running all over the place. I don't know. Something like that. That's basically what it sounded like. So a lot of NFL stars try to pursue
00:09:14
Speaker
Uh, the rap game game and fail, I think a B. I mean, I don't know. This guy's gotta be making at least a little bit of money with the amount of attention this little fat person dance has gotten. Uh, so this could be something and I don't know, this rap songs are pretty typical and all those typical type of rap dudes have made money off of it. So I don't see why AB couldn't.
00:09:44
Speaker
Not really my jam, but hey, maybe it's yours. Check it out. That's all I got. That's all I got for the headlines from last week. Let's go into the market manipulation where I lost.
Fantasy Lineup Woes
00:10:04
Speaker
I lost last week. I had a terrible, terrible lineup.
00:10:13
Speaker
Um, did not win at all. And, um, that kind of sums it up. You know, there's a ton of people that got two touchdowns last week and I only picked one of them. Christian Kirk, he got two touchdowns. Who else got two touchdowns? We had, um, Tyreek Hill got two touchdowns.
00:10:38
Speaker
Yeah, Jalen Waddle got two touchdowns. Cooper Cupp got two touchdowns. Garrett Wilson got two touchdowns. Nick Chubb, I think he pulled the hat trick actually. Anyway, he got at least two touchdowns. Fuck, who else got two touchdowns? Like everybody got two touchdowns.
00:10:58
Speaker
Which is crazy. So, if you didn't pick a two touchdown guy, you were left out. You were left out in the cold, door shut in front of you, and you didn't do good. This week is different, okay? I wish I could talk to you about my picks, but again, not gonna play my cards, show you my goods, get your own goods, and give me your money.
00:11:25
Speaker
God, this lineup just looks so bad in hindsight.
00:11:35
Speaker
I had to let that play out, sorry. I did men price, went complete opposite strategy of week one where I went for the most expensive quarterback, Pat Mahomes, and it paid off. This time I went for the cheapest in Trubisky because I went to pay up for all these other dudes, which was not smart. I really, really wanted to squeeze in Devonta Adams and Deebo in my lineup.
00:12:02
Speaker
They both did not do too good. They have a little snowflake by their point total in DraftKings, which is probably not good, not what they were projected to do, under what they were projected to do. Christian Kirk was a lock and he was the only guy with one of those little flames by his point total, meaning he went above the projections. So thank you, Christian.
00:12:25
Speaker
helped me out. But yeah, Min price with Trubisky only got 12 points. 12.42. At running back, I wanted to repeat with Berkeley, it didn't happen. By the way, the Giants. What a shit show. You're just gonna have to wait. If you invested in the Giants, wide receivers, you're just gonna have to wait until the
00:12:46
Speaker
I forget what their head coach's name is to bowl until he gets fired because I don't understand this carousel carousel. How do you say that word? It cares carousel. What a dumb fucking word. Anyway, I don't understand this merry go round. We'll go with that one that he's doing at the wide receiver position. He's got his best wide receivers only taking a couple of snaps.
Giants' Wide Receiver Strategy Critique
00:13:12
Speaker
Um, week one, Kedarius, Tony, they're like first round draft pick, a lot of investment in that guy. Didn't even use them as a wide receiver in week one, just made them run the ball twice. Uh, Kenny Galday it's probably washed out. So I'll give him that one, but.
00:13:30
Speaker
They're paying this guy quite a bit and he only had two snaps last week. And the rationale behind it is, Hey, it's all game script dependent. We want to put the best guys on the field, depending on the match-ups, which apparently translates to putting in some undrafted dudes I've never heard of.
00:13:55
Speaker
to start the whole game and not do good at all and bench your stars, your starters. So, good luck, Giants. Sell all the Giants wide receiver shares that you have. It's not gonna work out this
Arizona Cardinals' Defensive Strategy
00:14:12
Speaker
year. Gonna have to wait a year. Gibson, Antonio Gibson versus the Detroit Lions. Thought that was pretty safe. It was okay, he got 12.1.
00:14:25
Speaker
Debo fourteen point seven for Seattle. I thought that was gonna be it an easy one with Elijah Elijah Mitchell out I Thought Debo is gonna be the guy who's gonna get all the volume is gonna get the ball thrown to him He's gonna run the ball. He's gonna go nuts. He didn't Trey Lance got hurt. Maybe it I don't really think that would have mattered too much to be honest I said Christian Kirk got one of the two touchdown guys and
00:14:53
Speaker
Oh, I'm in Ross, St. Brown was another two touchdown guy. Didn't put him in there. Uh, but she is two touchdown guys fricking everywhere. Um, trace clay pool. Oh, it's embarrassing to say out loud. He, this guy is like playing solely out of the slot. So kind of what I said last week with Christian Kirk being like these slot wide receiver.
00:15:20
Speaker
that the team, uh, keeps on the field and targets a ton. It usually pays off, but, um, chase showed that week one with some potential. Didn't get there week two last night, uh, Thursday night football. I thought maybe that was going to be the breakout with another good, uh, slot corner, uh, matchup, but it wasn't. Didn't do a good three weeks in a row. So touchdown dependent guy, not going to touch it.
00:15:50
Speaker
Juwan Johnson, another min price tight end last week. Getting north of like 65% snap share nowadays is emerging as kind of one of the top targets surprisingly in that offense and anytime you can get a tight end
00:16:11
Speaker
catches the ball four times for men prize, 2,500, that's pretty sweet. So I actually liked that one. He got four for 40. Davante Adams didn't do shit versus the Arizona Cardinals. So
Optimism for Next Week & Fart Sound Effects
00:16:23
Speaker
there you have it. Maybe what we're figuring out is the Cardinals are a great matchup on paper for supposing offenses, especially air attack offenses. That's one way to phrase it.
00:16:38
Speaker
which means it doesn't really funnel to any receiver on the offense. Everyone on the offense facing the Arizona Cardinals defense has a good matchup. So going forward, kind of like what I did week one, target the quarterback facing that type of defense, which is what I did with my home this week one. And I guess carded okay, but it didn't funnel to Adams.
00:17:10
Speaker
And, like everybody else, I went with the Bangles Defense vs. Cooper Rush. Shitty lineup. Very, very... Very shitty. I named all these fart drops, by the way. That last one was Fierce Fart. This one was Nice Ripper. We got a Restrained Fart here. The one that you gotta wait for. That's a Post Shower Fart. Does not sound healthy.
00:17:39
Speaker
That's a dry one. This one's a forced fart. It feels like you're forcing it. This is the old classic and that's my, my fart rundown. Okay. So there you have it. Next week is a new week. It's going to be fricking awesome. I'm going to kick ass and take your money.
00:17:59
Speaker
Until then, listen to this shitty rap beat. Better than AVs.
00:18:38
Speaker
Aye. Aye.
