Dad's on deck. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that the following content is made up of humorous adult material and is intended for immature not easily triggered audience. You have been warned. Hey, no, yeah, what's up? Have you heard the rumor about butter? Yes, go ahead and say it. I can't think it's something about spread Yeah, no, I don't want to spread it. Yeah, okay, there the joke
was marginal at best. Fuck you m hey ever, yeah, how do you uh, how does the farmer tally up his cows with a calculatory? That one better? Fucking asshole? Oh ship, that's stupid. Oh my god, all right, whatever, Dad's on day. Boy, I think it's one fifty seven. I think it's one. I'm I'm domb. We missed last week. I think that was the only week we've never put out an episode in three years. Yeah, and then it was and then I went on vacation. Yeah, you you were massively sick, and then you
took off on a plane for some podunk fucking ship hoole Town. And were you Iowa iaho iowa some hill like that juice combined it to iaho like I just covered both basises. Ye. Yeah, well it's like Massachusetts hit, like one of those due places exactly. Florida, Dick, Why does anybody go to Florida Cuban pussy? Mm? They're crazy. I didn't say marry it. Yeah, fair enough. Anyway, is there any other reason to go to Florida cocaine? I guess right. You can just stick your gum
underneath the table. That's fine, I'm gonna do. I'm watching him, watching him, folks. He pulled his gum out of his out of his mouth, and he's confused as to what to do with it, so he's kind of fumble fucking around and just stick it out of the table. I mean, I mean, I've always liked chewing gum, but and like, I mean, okay, I have gum every once in a while, but I'm having more gum lately. Yes, because I'm trying to just stop the
chewing and all of that stuff. So let's clarify for the people who don't understand stop chewing. He's not gonna stop chewing his food and like swallow, No, I'm just gonna my food dipping. Yeah, stop dipping. Yeah, I'm going to stop dipping. So the mouth. Yeah, sure, thing, got it, nailed it. How is your week great? Yeah? Fucking great. I got a promotion at work, like a full promotion or a part time promotion. Oh no, no, no, no,
like full on promotion with no pay adjustment. I've had one of those too, I've had one of those two. Yeah. So yeah. I went from general compliance inspector to well, technician, sorry they call me a technician to a construction manager. Cool. Yeah, construction manager of a multi million dollar fucking project with multiple government agencies oversight and a lot of pressure. And I was like, well, so the raise comes with this, right,
And they went, well, you don't have any of the certifications. I was like, so then I can't do the job. And they're like, well, but we really need you. We don't have anybody else. And I'm like, my wallet needs more money. Cool sell, Like cool, cool sell. I got, I got, I gotta That's kind of sort of what I said. I I got, I got a lot of bills that need to be paid, So, m what are we gonna do about this? So we're we're working it out. We're working it out. It's
there's some weird intricacies with the way my company works. In order to get promotions, you have to have certain like courses. Sure, so I got a month to finish some stuff and then some other things will happen. But ultimately it'll work out, and if it doesn't, then I'm not working. So well, that's pretty much where it goes. Yeah, and there'll be really stuck between a fucking rock and a hard place. So other than that, that makes sense, not a whole lot. We're getting ready for the
kids to go back to school. They go back to school on Monday. They thought they were doing homeschooling. They are, Oh they are. They have a schedule yep. So the schooling, the curriculum starts on Monday, like Premia Ra or whatever it is. Yeah. Yeah, so they've got live teachers. They've got pre recorded stuff just dead teachers. Yeah okay, well I mean in like actual live as in you can talk back and forth and have a real conversation. It's not just yeah you'd be like, oh
what are you doing? What are you doing for class? Oh? I'm here with Jonathan the zombie biology Like yeah, would it be brains? Yeah, I could do that, I like brains. Yeah. So we got we got everything set up for that. Uh, it's funny because the kids think that they're gonna get to do whatever the fuck they want, and uh, it's gonna happen. Yeah, it's yeah, you know, he's going to watch them. It's gonna be a combination of like four people pretty much.
Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. So, uh, the producers staying home the first week and she's gonna help them, guide them through the first week and get them started through the first week. And she's been amazing actually, like full full bore, all in, like focused, organized, on top of shit. Cass has been pretty good with uh, you know, keeping open communication with what's going on on her side of things and helping get
stuff set up. And she came over this morning and we all kind of worked together, and it was funny because, like you can, you really saw the different personalities in my kids. One of them was all about organized, you know, organized curriculum. She was like, oh, CALLI, which is my oldest She's like, where's my calendar or how can I set this up? And she went in and she put a bunch of shit in her calendar already and she's already typing stuff on her computer and getting ready and
Lily's like, where's my phone? Where's my phone? Don't on my phone? Who's my teacher? What am I doing? And she's just kind of like here and there, like she bounces back and forth, right, and then there's Grayson and there's Grayson. And Grayson's first question, I shit you not, how am I gonna color on the computer? And then and then we were like, well, I don't know, buddy, Like we genuinely
get genuinely they don't know. Because we were talking about art class. They have an art class on Friday. I don't know what the art class entails. It doesn't give a description for it, so I'm really not sure. But along with our class on Fridays is also PE on Fridays. So his next friend with the computers next question was his next question was what am I gonna do for PE? I was like, I don't know, dude, maybe jumping jacks. I honestly don't know. There, like it might be
an aerobics class that you have to do. He goes, I gotta wear spandex. I was like, yep, you sure do. So it's gonna be interesting. There is definitely gonna be a curve. There is there will with outed doubt, be some struggles, very much looking forward to because they're gonna be hilarious. There's about it, you know. Yeah. So the kid the kids went to uh went to Texas. We just got them back. Fucking fly the kids went to Texas. We just got them back.
I asked how they how was our time? How was your trip? What'd you guys do? Well, we were gonna go to We're gonna go to Redneck Lake. And I was like, oh, you were, but you didn't go. And they're like no because there were too many nails and broken bottle glasses and busted up car pieces, car car pieces, and so mom said it was a little unsie, so we didn't go. It was like the name didn't give it away. The fucking name Redneck Lake didn't give it
away. So and I asked about the Redneck Lake and evidently it was like the neighborhood had gotten together and filled this random hole. Fuck it. Yeah, yah, yep, yep, like a gol. Yeah, it's that's probably probably for the best. That's probably for the best. Yeah, So how was your trip? It was good? Uh? We uh we had a good time. The weather was pretty nice. It was really really hot one of the it's not really hot, but human, right, yeah. So I think one of the days it was like eighty six, but it
was like ninety five percent amenity. You're just fucking sweating, yeah, just as you walk. But it was kind of cool because the town that the biggest town closest to my sister in law is Lamars, which is where Blue Bunny is is. That's their their home base. It's not very big. It's still only like fifteen twenty thousand people, right, that's surprising with a
name like Lamars. Yeah. Yeah, anyway, so they had the county Fair there, so it was cool to see an Iowa County fair versus a king Our County Fair, right, and it was like much more structured. The cattle and the like, the livestock, all of that was a lot larger than what we have. Well, I mean that's their bread and butter, right, Like it's all farmland of some sort, correct, So it was kind of cool. And then their rides were also the rides weren't as
good as what we have, Okay, very more rinky dink. They're smaller. Yeah, so but I tell you what, there was one one place that we stopped and then we went inside to like one of the halls where there was air conditioning to eat. But we stopped at this little concession place and I got some pie and it was the pie there was all made by some place in Lamars and then sold at this concession stand. Yeah, holy shit, the pipe small town pies like that, yes, but it was
cool they have. So the last time I was there visiting my sister in law, the day we were like leaving, their neighbors were moving in, right, so now we're over there this time. Well there's a neighbor girl who's thirteen and her brother's eleven, So it was cool. They pretty much hung out with us the entire time we were there, which is cool because then Alias had people to hang out with. Like he went to the public pool there, which their fucking public pool makes our public pool look like shit.
Really, they have two slides that they they spent seven years doing fundraisers to build this city pool. They had a regular city pool, and then they shut it down and rebuilt it. And it was funny because after they went, I asked Elias how was it, and he was like, it's the wild West. There's kids doing flips. The lifeguards don't care kids are running. I almost told the kids to stop running, but I realized that it's not my place, and he's like, it's just different, and he
was like, but it was fun. It was really fun. So it was it was cool. And then there's a speaking of man made lakes. There's this place across the street from their town called the Lazy Age Campground and it's actually an old rock quarry and the people that own it own the rock quarry. It's still operating next to it. Well, they have turned this one into an RV and cabin campground and they turned the quarry into a lake's cool, and so it's really cool and they're really strict about the rules,
so it's really clean there. But it's cool. You could like rent a kayak for ten bucks for an hour, paddleboard ten bucks for an hour. We were talking about running a boat and it wasn't bad as like one hundred bucks for three and a half hours for a pontoon boat. You could do like three fifty for the whole day. We ended up not doing the boat, but but it was cool, so it was a good trip. Though it was fun. Uh, some night sucked as far as sleep goes.
But yeah, it's different. I mean, you were sick and then you got that humidity. There is a lot heavier. Yeah, just a sleeping situation. It was like like the peasant the peasant caught. It was like, yeah. So one of the last nights that I was there, the second to last night, I finally went. My son was on the couch and I finally decided to go out on the couch with him. And there was enough room for both of us because it's pretty big sectional couch. And
then I don't even carry because it was nice and cool out there. And yeah, and then the last night I actually stayed at the cabin. My in laws rented the cabin on the lake and it had a queen bed in a room and then upstairs had two twin loft beds, and so Elias and I stayed at the cabin the last night that we were there before we flew out. Sleeping on cots tough, and I didn't mean air mattress, but
but one of the like it's a shitty air mattresses. Yeah, but it was fun getting to, you know, be with the family and have some good corn out there is obviously sulous, just the sweet corn and Maddie's husband. His dad recently retired from farming on a large scale, but he still does some on his property just for him and his family now, and so he brought some sweetcorn for one of the dinners one night. Ridiculous, it was so good. Well, jealous, it was good. It was really
good. But it was a good, good trip. It was nice to get some vacation in. It's been a long time since I had a vacation, so it was overdue. Yeah, it's been a while, but yeah, you guys didn't take your normal Fourth of July this week or this year. We did not. No, no, And we're staying home for Thanksgiving because someone will be ready to pop by then. I know, is anybody gonna come here for Thanksgiving? You know? I don't know? Yeah, I mean other than her her parents will stay here. If not, we
should do a friends giving. We should do a friends giving anyway, we should whatever. Some one of those dogs getting shot outside. I agree. I'm not really sure what the fuck's happening, but somebody has dropped the ball in my house. It can't be your dog, because your your gate was wide open when I came in. I didn't shut it. Oh well, I mean, if it is my dog, he's trying to eat the neighbor's
dog, and that would explain what's going on. Oh well, you want to do a quick commercial break, Sure, okay, let's do it. When you can't do the activities you love, you can't be you. Three out of five young adults experience early onset arthritis. Negro can help. Negro increases cartilage and strengthens muscle tissue in the knees, so you can feel like you again. Don't be a slave to joint pain. Free yourself and the results will be noticeable. Hey, like, guy's using Negro. Hey Negro,
Negro, Hey Negro, Negro, look at him. Oh Negro, Get back to what you do best. Get back to you, Negro please. Negro is available only by prescription. Consult your doctor to see if Negro is right for you. Negro please. Oh man, the people that may come down strike again. Huh, that's right. I could use some of that, actually, But he's been bothering me for a while. I figured you've been using the Negro because you said today we went golfing, and you
said your knee was doing better. It is doing a lot better, but I attribute that to not eating shitty. That makes sense. So, I mean, that makes sense. I don't know. It could be working out. I've been working out a lot lately. Yeah, yeah, probably about five times a week. It's good for three weeks now, that's good. Yeah. Yeah, So it could be that I'm strengthening and things around it again, could be who fucking knows. It could be that you've blown out
the rest of the cartilage and you just don't feel anything now possible. Oh man, Well, speaking of that, it's a shit. It's almost the middle of August, which means football starting, it is, and which is pretty exciting. I mean, there was a couple of years where you and I both weren't really excited for football. No, I wasn't sure how I feel this year. But now I'm starting to get that itch and get that
excitement again. Yeah. I'm a little disappointed because I backed out of every fantasy football league that I'm in, and I'm just I'm like, fuck, And the one you want to get in you can't because there's no opening. Correct. The one I'm finally like ready to get back into is the auction league that you're in and some other friends are in. And I'm just like, ah, fuck, wow, that's fine. Yeah, next year. I did tell Chris who runs it, that if anybody is besides myself is
late on payment, it's a perennial person who's late on payment. Because there are the people that are in that league, I said, you should just kick him after this year, just straight up kick them, because you know you can get it filled. It's only a ten man league. There's plenty of people that will join this thing. So I'm excited for that though. And I've been listening to a lot of the Fantasy Footballers podcast to like get a kind of get ready for it, yeah and stuff like that. And
we actually had I'm in a dynasty league. This will be my year two. Last year was the startup year. I'm the only American in the league. Jesus, all all eleven others are Canadian. And I got invited from Mike from scotch and Sports. Okay, so him, SuDS, Gerty, and Jay who's now because Gerty's not really on the show anymore, but but Jay is. They're all in the league and then other people, and so
it's kind of comical because there's a lot of shit talk. But I don't really know a lot of them, so I kind of tend to tread lightly. How do Canadians talk, shit, Well, they're pretty, they're pretty. Some of them are pretty bold. Yeah, pretty bold. Yeah, like it was actually pretty after no, no, no no, But I usually pick at them about that. Yeah, so I took I took a third place last year. Okay, So the way they run it is your division changes every year. First, second, and third all get a division
and you get to pick your division mates. Shit. So obviously like first gets to pick his first, then second, then third, and then it goes back and then until the divisions are filled. Right, that's kind of cool. It's kind of cool. So we did that the other day, and then today was supposed to be our rookie draft, which is only three rounds, so it's pretty quick. Yesterday I go, I get to work. It's like seven forty in the morning. Most of these Canadians live East
coast time. There are a couple that live I think, or at least one that I know of that lives Mountain. I don't think any of them are Pacific on the Canadian side. And all of a sudden, there's a vote to just start the draft as a slow draft and do it now. Oh shit, And so all of a sudden there's a message. Eight out of twelve people's majority rules were starting this thing. I'm like, okay,
oh shit, but you had twenty four hours o'clock. So it was funny on my very first I think it was only a couple hours in and my turn to pick, I picked tenth and they were like, no them, you're up, and I was like, I got twenty three hours, get off my nuts. Yeah, I'll pick when I picked, and then I went silent for like forty five minutes just to ask with them. Yeah, and then it made my pick. But yeah, it was pretty much you
take. I took what's his nuts? The rookie receiver from Minnesota. It was oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it was who I took first, Okay, yeah, so why can't I think of his name. I was in a tough spot being at ten because I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure what was going to be there, and that was my fear. Jordan Addison, Jordan Addison, Yeah, yeah yeah. And then my second pick I took, I took Chase Brown, which is a running back of Cincinnati. And then third pick I took Tank Dell, which is the receiver that Houston
picked up I think in the third round. Yeah, he's gonna be good. He might not be. Well, the nice thing is there, they all go on my taxi squad. So when you do a rookie, you can put them on your taxi squad and you don't have to touch them for at all that year. After they're a rookie, you have to move either drop them or move them, either move them in a trade, whatever.
But if you bring them into your lineup, you can't put somebody else on the taxi squad from your lineup, so you to bring them up, you have to cut somebody. Yeah. So, but but it was interesting to see what was gonna happen with with that. But so you're not in any fantasy league. Are you going to join like a free one on like ESPN just to fuck around? Nope? No, nope, You're not gonna do anything. Nope, nope. I'm just gonna watch football. I'm gonna enjoy
football for what it is. I'm probably gonna bet a lot, that's fair. Okay, I'm probably so. I've been thinking about this. Okay, so let's skip. Since you're not going to do fantasy football. We don't necessarily need to talk any fantasy I mean, we can talk so like I actually liked, let's do a combo. Let's do we didn't even talk about this. Let's do a little fantasy football and a little bit of bet talk. Okay with football. Okay, So what's your thought on fantasy football?
Now? Like we've seen, you've played for a long time. Yeah, and you and I were in one league together. I just left this league, so did you. But you just rejoined for one year, but you were out for a couple But I had been in the league for thirteen years, and when you left the first time, you were probably in the league for twelve or thirteen years. I think I was in it for twelve when I left, because you came in right after. I mean I was after. Yeah, I was the one that got you into it. Chris was
I thought, well, oh no, it was Chris Chris. And then because of that is how I got into softball. Yeah. Ye, the fantasy football is how I met you, and then that's how softball started. Yes, but it back in the day. So this league that we were in, it was very grueling because it's twelve man, and it was a
broken snake, and everybody was well educated. There was only there was only like one or two years where we had a couple people who weren't like, who weren't as intense, right, but they got really lucky, Like they got super fucking lucky with like picking up priest homes. Yeah, you know, one year and you know, on a fucking whim. But it was funny because for for years you would pretty much see all twelve picks are running
backs. Yeah. Yeah, and then and then about probably like six years ago, seven years ago, you started to see the receiver starting to mix in a little bit. Well, we need to talk about the draft itself though, because the draft in this league is on like any draft I was still yet to see. We call it the broken snake, correct, but it's not really a snake. There's just no name for it. Well,
so, yeah, exactly, because what what you know? You go one through twelve, correct, and and then you go seven yep, yeah, seven through eight, sorry, seven through six or no, eight, I think eight's in their first pick, yes, eight, and then seven is the last pick in the second round. And then what you do is your first round. Every odd round you move up to every even round you move
up to. So if you pick, if you pick eighth in the first, you pick first in the second, yep, you pick sixth in the third, and then you pick eleventh, eleventh in the fourth, and so there's some really long waits. Yeah, Like so if you're if you're pick seven, you're like, fuck, yeah, I'm picked seven. I got somebody right in the great, great sweet spot, except for uh, your second round pick is the last pick in the second round. Yeah, it's
kind of cool because it's like there are separates boys. Your weight is only like five picks, yeah, but then there's some where your weight is like sixteen or more more possibly more. Yeah, so it's it's kind of fucking crazy. It's kind of it's kind of it really made it interesting because if you wanted a player, you may had to reach a whole round ahead to get them because because if you were on one of those weird weights, you
weren't getting him. Again. Yeah, so it's funny to see leagues that are you know, traditional snake or now you have auction leagues too, but yeah, we we've never seen you could not prep, you could not mock for this and for the longest time. I think somebody who had like the top like one, two or three pick didn't win. It's like the longest fucking time, Christiansen I Mike right, yeah, yeah. The only time I ever had number one pick, I came in second last that year.
Yeah, and I took ap that year. It's it's it's incredible because nobody, nobody for that draft has a clear cut advantage. Like when you talk about like your normal traditional snake draft and going one through ten, you go one through ten, and then you go ten through one, and then you go one through ten. You can say you can find reason for the beginning, the middle, and the end to have an advantage over everyone. Yep, Like you got your jubble ups, you got you know what you're gonna
get. Like, you can plan for that a lot easier because you can say, Okay, I'm going to have this many picks before my next pick. This other broken draft. Even though you can say I have this many picks before my next pick, everybody has a different amount before that or after that, so they their strategy changes, and a lot of things change on the fly because sometimes you take fucking what was it, there was the one year where we had five fucking quarterbacks go in the first round and a half
last year. Yeah, it was more than that. Yes, I had to take to tell you how bad last year was for me in that league. I was pick twelve. I was like, I hope I can get Mahomes because there wasn't a whole lot of Mahomes talk going into the year last year. No, No, his name was down on quarterback list and I was super high on lost a bunch of people. He went at eleven,
So I decided I went Dalvin Cook at twelve. And then for my second round pick, all of a sudden, another quarterback run happened, and at that time having to go fucking Russell Wilson, I was just in the second fucking round. Yeah, because because the league, Hurts was gone, Allen was gone, Mahomes was gone, Burrows was gone, Rogers was gone, Herbert Herbert was gone. Ye there, and then yeah, now mind, this is because it was a super flex so you could start two qbs.
So that's why so many qbs. And he changed the scoring that passing touchdowns were worth six fantasy points. Yeah, so you had you could start two qbs and their passing touchdowns are worth six points apiece. Gee, I wonder what the fuck is gonna happen in the first round. Yeah, And that's why I backed out of that league is because that's why I left this year as well. That league went from something that was like kind of semi traditional
two and and we did a lot of innovative things like that. Like that was the league that we came up with the whole scoring system for the kickers, because everybody fucking hates kickers, right, correct, We came up with the scoring system for the kickers where you get X amount of points per yard that you kick, So if it's less than thirty, you just get three.
Correct, thirty to forty you get three point one, three point two, three point four, forty, four point one, four point two, four point three, so on. So we did the same thing like I did the math for QBS. I did the math for running backs and and for wide receivers and tight ends for receiving yards and rushing yards to where you got to you got an actual point total per yard that was passed, per yard that was caught, per yard that was rushed. So it made things
a lot broader, and that was fun. Those changes were fun, but then all of a sudden, it was like, well, there's two qbs, three wide receivers, two running backs, a superflex, a fucking Then then he took the tight end position away and you could put the tight end. You can use a tight end with the receiver with the receivers, and it just it became too convoluted for me. And yeah, so and then
oh the defense too. We did a bunch of shit on defense with scoring two, Like we changed a bunch of stuff so that way, you know, you were the defense was actually worth something where if you held, if they held people to X amount of points and x amount of yards and things like that. Yeah, and it made having one of those top five defenses a legit help on your fantasy team, correct and and and that was that
was a good thing. So this year, if you, even though you're not gonna be in a draft, do you see any advantage to where you would want to pick this year? One hundred percent. I if I can't get if I can't get number one, because I want Justin Jefferson, right then I want to be I want to be somewhere out of that. So and and it would depend on the draft, right, Like we're gonna let's just talk about a traditional Snake draft, right, Yeah, let's stick with
that. Yeah, let's just go ten team, even twelve team. Fine, Yeah, that's fine, we'll just well, we'll talk ten team yep. But we're gonna go one through ten, ten through one. Right. If I can't get number one, to get Justin Jefferson, because he's the only one that I would, without a fucking doubt take it number one. Okay, I don't like like if you get me, I think the problem with number one this year, I agree with you to me, Jefferson is
the clear cut one. Yeah. However, if you told me you're gonna go Chase McCaffrey or Cooper Cup, I don't think Tyreek Hill, any of those names. I'm okay with you taking it one. I wouldn't. I would not. I think Jefferson is the clear cut one, and Cup is actually the next best option if his health stays. The only reason why I don't like Cup is because I don't like the team that's around him. Agree,
but there's nobody to compete with him. And even when there was nobody to compete with him, it showed that he's still gonna get his fucking yards and his catches. True, I mean, if the guy catches one hundred and thirty passes on a PPR, that's one hundred and thirty points without yardage, without touchdown. What happens when Stafford gets hurt? Who the fuck cares? Throw it to Cooper Cup? So to me, have you seen have
you seen Jimmy Garoppolo play football? Fair enough? And receivers still do fairly? Okay, fair enough, you know what I mean? So so outside of that, outside of that, I one hundred percent want to be in the back end. Yeah, like you want that eight nine ten, Yeah, somewhere in there, correct, I want. I want to double up back there because there's, yes, there's a bunch of value above that.
But the problem is is that when you go to comeback around, there are so many what ifs, There are so many questions about all of those people that are around you. I would rather avoid that and just get caught in the I would rather have two top fifteen players. Yeah then, because here's here's let me let me throw this to you. I joined a free league just for shits and giggles on ESPN. I ended up getting the number one
pick ten team PPR. Okay, Okay, I wasn't happy about it because I'm like, if I'm getting the one, okay, I'm gonna be happy with who I pick it one. Yeh. But but here's here's the deal. You ready for this? So I went Justin Jefferson at one oka. My next pick was not until the end of the second beginning of the third back to pis. Okay, I'm happy with my first two picks. The problem was, you know who the best available running back on the board was
for me at that point, I don't know Ramandre Stevenson. Yeah, that sounds about right. So, okay, I like Remandre. But my first two receivers I have Justin Jefferson and Garrett Wilson. Well, I mean like I'm super happy about that exactly. Okay, Let's let's do this right. So you you get, you get let's say eight nine or ten, right, guys that are ranked in eight, nine or ten position or Stefan Diggs, Cede Lamb, and Saquon Barkley. Okay, right. The guys that
are now three four after him are aj Brown, DeVante Adams. I'm I'm I'm Saint Brown. Uh huh, I'm and Ross Saint Brown, Garrett Wilson, and we'll just stop there, okay, right, okay, would you rather have Justin Jefferson and who's now will go twenty or Belower twenty years below? Right? Do you want Justin Jefferson and Chris Slave, Derrick, Henry, Davonte, Smith, Ramonde Stephens, Stevenson, T. Higgins or Josh Jacobs, right? Or or do you want your two cores to be Stefan
Diggs, Ceede Lamb, Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, Davante Adams. I'm on Ross Saint Brown and Garrett Wilson, right, like those guys, And just looking at the names right now, I'm having trouble because I'm like, man, I'd love to go Stefan Diggs and AJ Brown with my two picks. Yeah, but then what my running backs are gonna look like? You basically have to go to the zero RB route and take your rbs later stack
your receivers. But maybe not so okay, So let's say let's say all right, so then it would be you would be getting someone in the in like the forty rank, right, thirty thirty rank? Yeah, okay, so let's see you could end up with Jalen Hurts. Yeah, you'd have to go quarterback there, because who's your josh Naji Harris Joe Mixon right now? Those two aren't bad. Breeze Hall, Yeah, they're okay. I
mean you're taking some risk with Breese Hall. I mean is even as a Jet fan, I might stay away from that, right, But you still got etn Yeah, that's down here. You got the kid that's that that's getting into Detroit. I think it's just Jamior Gibbs. You know, you could even get him. You can even get him on the second pick back around for that turn. Yeah, you got Aaron Jones, who I mean, they should lean on him. You'd think, I mean, they're gonna
have to write you would think, yeah, yeah. But but it poses a great question because I I have gotten to live this draft because I got pick one, and I'm okay with my team. Part of why I'm okay with my team is if you look at the rankings of where these guys are. Somehow so at one I went one, yeah, and then I went at the end of the second, beginning of the third, and then end of the fourth, beginning of the fifth. I don't know how both of
these fell there. But at the end of the fourth beginning of the fifth, my back to back picks were Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews as a stack somehow they were both sitting there, and I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, I'm happy with that, especially in a PPR. But but then you look at it like where I had to go running back because this league that I was in was pretty running back heavy. My two starting running backs Ramandre Stevenson and Cam Akers. But I got JJ and I got Garrett Wilson.
Yeah, so it's like, you can't have all of it unless you're in a family league. Dumb people I had, like, you might be in a league with b Word, who's only going to choose Cowboys. You know, he's probably still going to choose Zeke even though he doesn't know. I just saw I saw a video from training camp and said Dak Prescott was in mid season form already thrown picks, already throwing picks. Yeah, yeah, Obi was the hand. It was the thumb last year. That's why
he kept throwing some picks. Now, that just sucks. He's terrible. He I think he very well might be the most overrated player. I think he severely overrated as a quarterback. Quarterback. Yeah, yeah, when you when you can have an I I understand to a degree. I do understand this. You know who the number four quarterback was. We're not talking fantasy points, okay, number four quarterback last year based on passing, yards, completion, all of that stuff. Who is number four? Kirk Cousins.
Kirk Cousins, and the guy still gets shipped on still. I said last year in that fucking discord chat that he would be top three and I got laughed out of the chat and I said, no, not by you, not by you, and they were like, not even top ten. I said, I'm not even talking to talk to ten. I'm talking top five, top three, And they were like, really, hoo'sy blah blah blah blah blah. Finished at four and at the end of nobody wanted to talk
about it. At the end of the year, finished at four. Dak Okay, but he's still just a mediocre he you know, Kirk Cousins is still that mediocre quarterback. Like when I picked Jordan Addison in this in this rookie draft. Part of my reasoning about why I didn't want him is because Kirk Cousins is his quarterback because I'm like, Justin Jefferson's gonna get hits.
See, And that's the thing about that team, Like you take Justin Jefferson, Justin Jefferson in a way, and what does Kirk Cousin become, right, right, Like in all honesty, I agree, in all honesty, agree, But you take Justin Jefferson and put him on the Cowboys. I don't have the same confidence that Dak becomes Kirk Cousins, Like I don't have no I think I think JJ still gets his Yeah, but it's not like all of a sudden, Dak's throwing for forty five five thousand yards again,
he's got ce Lamb right, he's not fucking doing it with him. Well, Ceedee Lamb put up what thirteen hundred thirteen hundred something last year, just something like that. He did put a wide receiver one went fucking crazy last last year, Like he showed, he showed up for that team, and they still ship the bed. Well, that's they're the Cowboys, so they're gonna ship the bed. I can't wait to see him ship the bed in person against the worst team in the league, Arizona, just to watch b
Ward watch his team lose in person. I'm here for it. Yep, I will, I will, I will streak the field. If the Cowboys lose that kid, they will tiny schmuckling all they will, they will. We'll see. All right, you want to do one more commercial and then we'll finish up. Yeah, sure, all right. Hi, thanks for tuning into Just the Tips, your one stop shot for all your romantic queries.
I'm your certified need for speed, hot to trot love coach, and I will take your love life from one to fun faster than you can say. But stuff A great way to special if your love life is to play fun and tantalizing games, something like Tickle the Pickle, where you wait for him to fall asleep, grab a jar of pickles from the fridge, and dump the whole thing on him. In his sleep, he will be screaming in ecstasy. And also he will be very grateful for the taste of a
nice, crunchy deal pickle in the middle of the night. Yeah. I like del pickles too. I love Dill pickles. Yeah. Would you do if somebody if Summer did that? I don't know, I really don't. I don't have an answer. I think I think I would go with it. I probably, but I probably would end up eating the pickle because I love the pile. I love pickles. If the producer did it, I would probably eat the pickle while she's riding me. Yeah. Yeah, okay,
So let's let's let's go back to the football talk here. Let's wrap this, wrap this up with a bow. Uh so last year, let's talk about did you have anything else for Fantasy one? I do? Okay, go, I have one question, yeah, because there is somebody that I think, Okay, this isn't a normal question. Let me ask this question first, what team do you think will be a surprise to produce more
fantasy players? More more like top we'll go like top ten, top fifteen fantasy players than is currently predicted to produce, so like the Jets are predicted to have Aaron Rodgers, Garrett Wilson, Breeze Hall, and Aaron Rodgers still being one of the last quarterbacks chosen fantasy draft just isably because his agent people are fearing that last year was the start of the downfall and it wasn't his team, it was him. And I'm gonna give you a little heads up.
Brett Favre. Yes, he didn't do great when he was with the Jets, like the team didn't do great well he but he still produced well as a fantasy football player. Just to head up the first year that Brett Favre left Green Bay and went and played, he bawled his ass off the very first year. So let that be. Let that be said, right, man, that's a good question. Uh, that's not projected to really be. Can you pull up the other screen for me? The division?
Yeah, I just want to. I just want to see this. Okay. You know I'm gonna say it's gonna be the Baltimore Ravens. Okay, because it's not a surprise because they had a lot of injuries last year. But there's still a lot of doubt going into this year for them, and I think if health stays on their side, I actually think that Lamar Jackson can be a top five quarterback. I think Mark Andrews will easily be the number two tight end, but could fight Kelsey for number one. I think
Zay Flowers could get Rookie of the Year as a wide receiver. The only problem I have with Baltimore is I think their wide receiver depth chart sucks. I don't think Rasha Bateman's that great, and he's already injured again. And then you have Odell Beckham. At what's he going to provide right now? I just don't know. But but I do think if their if their health is good, that's a surprising team. All right, fantasy wise? Fair enough? Let me let me put let me pull something up real quick,
so I can I can give you a couple. I can give you a couple of my teams. Right. So, I think the other one that I think that nobody talks about enough, and this hurts me to say this is Seattle. Okay. I think Seattle could be an offensive juggernaut. I think Seattle wins the division. I agree with you as well, and I don't think it's close. I agree with you as well. Yep. All right, So let's look up the NFL schedule real quick, because I want to. I wanna. Have you seen the Jets start to their year?
Yeah? Their schedule? Yeah, let's not talk about that. Let me let me pull up. Let me pull up this team right here. Okay, let me see games. Okay, here you go. Okay, So those are preseasons. So the first one is going to be September tenth. Yeah, right in here, right there? Yeah, Okay, the Saints. Okay, the Saints. They play at home against the Titans. Then they play against the Panthers. Then they play against the Packers, then they
play against the Bucks, then they play against the Patriots. They don't have a hard game until the Patriots so far, so far, have I said any fucking quarterback that would scare you? No, okay, that's just a quarterback. Have I said any defense that would scare you up until the Patriots? No? Maybe the Bucks, not even I don't think so anymore. I think they fall off. Okay, Patriots, Right, then we get the Texans. Then we're home against the Jaguars. There we go. So
that is right. Now, there's two teams in there that I think could beat the Saints. And then they follow it up with the fucking Colts, and the fucking Saints are gonna be a twelve win team this year. Yeah. And then they get the Bears, right, and then they get the Vikings, and they get the Falcons, they get the Lions. Probably they're home against the Panthers, home against the Giants, they're in Saint Louis, depending on how many injuries Saint Louis has, that'll change, and then they're
against the Bucks. I don't know. Speaking of betting, what is what is the Saints over under win win projection this year? Because I'm taking the over? Couldn't you taking the over? But their defense could be sneaky, their offense could be sneaky. Like this schedule just fucking oozes yeah ooz is ease, yeah right, oh yeah, okay, oh yeah, okay. The other team, that's my NFC team and here's my AFC team. Okay, so first games September tenth, right, uh huh. You got the
Jaguars, that's a loss. You got the Texans it's a tie or or a wink. You got it's a loss. The Ravens, then the Rams, it's a loss. It tightens the Colts, the Browns, you mean that, the Titans, the General Titans, the Jaguars, the Browns. They're gonna lose at least one of those. Okay, okay, The Saints, the Panthers, the Patriots, right, they lose two of those. I think your I think your Colts calls here is terrible. Okay, but here's the thing. Do any of these defenses scare you. So, yes,
they might lose the game. But the Jaguars D is good, The Patriots D is good, go back up. The Ravens D is fantastic. The Ravens D is going to be good. I do think they get blown out in that game. Yeah, I do think they get I wouldn't be surprised if the Colts only won five games all year, but maybe six. But I bet you they average about twenty twenty four points a game. I
don't think so watch me that Kid Pierce is going to be great. Their run game is going to be fantastic with Kid Piers the wide receiver Alex Pears. Oh oh yeah, you think you think that You think that uh Anthony Richardson can throw it to him? Yeah? Yeah, okay, I believe in Anthony Richardson is a gator and his feet ye, but his his accuracy is fucking terrible. I don't think it's gonna matter all that much. We'll find out. So those are my two teams. Obviously I agree with one,
Obviously the totally disagree with the other. Obviously, the Colts is a little bit of a stretch. But the Saints, I think I think the Saints are the big one for me. I will, I will, I will go there. Okay, yeah, so all right, well let's go to the division pick here, let's let's look and let's pick. Let's pick our division winners this year, and let's start with the AFC. We'll start in the AFC East. So you have the Bills, the Bills who won
it last year, Miami, New England, and the Jets. Buffalo wins it again. I think it's a lot closer than it was so last year Buffalo finished thirteen and three, Miami finished nine and eight. I don't I think Buffalo wins. I think the Buffalo can win minimum eleven. Realistically, are gonna win twelve. I think Miami falls off a little bit. The Jets come up a little bit. I think both the Jets and New England both come up. I think the Jets New England. I think New England
stays exactly where they're at, not not ranking wise. I think it's I think it switches. I think they go nine, nine and instead of eight. Yeah, nine and eight instead of eight and nine. And I think the Jets switch as well. I think the Jets go ten and seven, and then Miami goes like eight to nine and then Miami goes seven to ten. Yeah, so she makes that. Okay, okay, yeah, I'm good with that. So AFC North, Cincinnati, Ravens, Steelers, and
Browns. I think I think the Ravens win it. I think the Ravens fucking run away with this. And that's that is going to be a controversy call, because Cincinnati is set up to have a big year. But I think I think that the Ravens will clinch earlier than people are expecting someone to clinch this division. As my previous statement before, if the Ravens stay healthy, it's their division bingo. They're too well coached, their defense is too
good, their offense has the power. If health is there, they they almost beat Cincinnati. They almost beat Cincinnati in the playoffs with a third string quarterback if it wasn't for a fumble on the goal line. Yep, Cincinnati didn't move on their first six games, six or seven games last year. They put up forty some fucking points a game. I mean, that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's not much, not much. No, Lamar was killing it and then all of a sudden, all the wheels
fell off. The bus Andrews got her, Bateman got hurt, then Lamar got hurt. Nobody could stay healthy on that team. All right, So AFC South, AFC South Jacksonville. I think Jacksonville moves up and wins. I think Jacksonville will ended at like an eleven or twelve win season. I think I think Tennessee sits about where they are. I think Indianapolis sits where they are win wise. I think Houston will nudge up a couple wins.
I think Tennessee's passing game gets a little bit better. I think Derrick Henry falls off a little bit. I think this is the year. And I still think even with that, they're a seven and ten team, maybe a six and eleven, correct they I think they look better than what their record is going to show, right. I actually I feel like the Colts take a big jump up. But I don't think anybody can catch Jacksonville. I
don't think anybody is good enough to catch Jacksonville. And I actually think Jacksonville could be a competing for the Super Bowl ticket out of the AFC this year. I definitely think Jacksonville is one of the last four teams remaining. Yeah as well, Yeah, in AFC, AFC West. I'm interested in this one. So you have the Super Bowl defending champs, Kansas City, La, Vegas, and Denver. My personal thought on this is La takes it.
I think another team with health that they didn't have health on their side last year. If health stays on their side, the Chargers are a thirteen win team even with the shitty health. Last year they won ten. I think they can win thirteen or fourteen games this year. I think Kansas City
drops into that eleven win range, maybe twelve. Vegas. I think Vegas will be lucky to win three or four games, and I think Denver bumps up to I think Denver can bump up to like that eight win I still don't think there's miracles that can happen with Sean Payton because the question is is Russ really done? Yeah? Is he done? Or was it just a weird year last year? Because if Russ isn't done, Denver's defense and the weapons they have in Denver offensively, if Russ can get back to being Russ,
they're a ten to eleven win team. I'm gonna say they're only gonna be an eight win team, though, I am going to tell you right now, this is the division that I will stay away from in terms of picking what team wins what games for the first five six weeks. Yeah, let it work itself out. Yep, one hundred percent. That makes sense. I have no clue what's gonna happen here, because the Chargers should be better. The Chargers should have won the division last year. They were hurt.
They had a lot of problems, Like, yeah, Herbert was hurt, his top two receivers were hurt constantly, and the only guy that wasn't hurt was Eckler exactly. And Eckler didn't score till like week seven ye and then he ended up getting double ditch touchdowns exactly. So and they only finished four games behind the Chiefs. Yeah right, yeah, I mean technically yeah. And I think both games they lost to the Chiefs they lost by three
yep. Denver. Denver should have been fucking miles better than what they were, right, miles fucking better than what they were. So I think that I think Kansas City ends up squeaking this out. But I really do think that this is one of the last divisions to actually get someone to come out of it, and it's possible that we end up getting the one of the I mean, well, I think it's guaranteed that we end up getting one of the wild cards out of this division, possibly fucking two. Yeah.
Well, and now there's more wild cards. I think you're getting You're gonna get a wild card from the West. Yeah, the North and the East. I I have a feeling that we don't get one from the East and we end up getting two from the West. So interesting, it's possible. We'll see because Vegas is gonna suck. Oh yeah, Vegas is guaranteed two wins for each of those teams. Yeah, pretty much, there's no there's no fucking Vegas defense isn't that great, and they their offense isn't gonna be
great. NFC, let's go NFC East. You got the Eagles who finished fourteen and three Super Bowl runner ups, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Washington Commanders. I think Philly repeats as Champ. I think they'll drop down to like that twelve wink. I think the Giants sit about right where they're at because I just don't think they have the weaponry on offense to get any better than where they're at. I think the Cowboys drop off a little bit.
I actually think Washington had the question with Washington, is their quarterback play? Yeah, they have weaponry on offense. I kind of like the exact lineup of how this division is. I just think Dallas. I think the Eagles and Dallas will lose some games. So I think you swap where Dallas and Washington are sitting. Okay, maybe maybe instead of the twelve and five that Dallas finished with, Washington finishes at eleven and six, you know what
I mean? Wow, Okay, I think it's possible. The question is quarterback play exactly? You don't know what you get. Yep. Yeah, if you get someone if if they get quarterback play where their quarterback is throwing for four thousand yards, their and thirty touchdowns, they're winning eleven games, yep, their money and they can playoffs. Yeh agree, yeah, agree, But Philly still wins. They're too strong NFC North, this division, I don't know. I wouldn't want to touch with fucking Johnny Sins Dick.
I mean, and this could be like Riley Reid Minnesota is gonna win the division, dude, I mean, let's just put it. Let's just say, look, Detroit They're gonna ship the bet again. That's what they do. Green Bay, you don't know what the fuck's gonna happen because their their whole team is in shambles. I think I think Minnesota. I think Minnesota only gets like eleven wins this year. I think the Bears move up like
to six or seven wins. Yeah, at least the question is can Justin Fields be I'm a better passer, if you can become a better pastor. You're talking about ten wins, Chicago Tea, thank You're asking a lot of kids. I think you are too, So I'm gonna say six seven wins. I actually like the exact I might switch Green Bay in Chicago, but I like Detroit it coming in. This is possible that Green Bay finishes last in that division for the first time in a long time. Agree. Yeah,
NFC South, I'm going with with what you showed me. I think the Saints are winning this division. I think Carolina comes in second, Atlanta comes in third, and Tampa Bay drops to the bottoms. Listen to the record. I think Tampa Bay is going to have like a four or five win season. Best case scenario agreed eight to nine, seven and ten seven and ten, seven and ten, yep, yep, and Carolina was dog shit. Yeah. New Orleans was dog shit and Atlanta was dog shit.
And I think the problem for Atlanta is all they got was bijon that we don't have an upgraded quarterback. Carolina potentially has an upgraded quarterback, we don't know yet. New Orleans should have an upgraded quarterback with Derek Carr. So, okay, and the schedule you showed me, New Orleans is winning thirteen games this year, Okay, they just are. Yep, they are. They're going thirteen and five. Yeah, thirteen and four. I think Atlanta
Okay, I wasn't gonna say this out loud. I think Atlanta has the potential to be to end up squeaking into the playoffs. I don't think like a ten win team. Yeah, correct, I do think. I think New Orleans wins this division because I think they have too much talent. It's all going to depend on how the coaching staff handles things. Right, They've got the easiest fucking record. There's a schedule, there's no two ways about it. They should be a thirteen win team. Yeah, they should absolutely
be a thirteen win team. So they should win the division. I think Atlanta can flop their schedule or flop their their standings around and end up being ten and seven, maybe eleven and six potentially maybe maybe. Dude, they're getting two wins out of Carolina, and they're getting two wins out of Tampa Bay. There's four right there. I don't know if they'll get two wins out of Carolina. I think they'll get two out of Tampa Bay. Okay, you think maybe they go one and one with Carolina? I think one
away. Yeah, Okay, it's still three. Still three, that's still three guaranteed wins. That's fine, that's fine. So and then okay, so NFC West, you and I kind of already let the cat out of the bag. Yeah, I think Seattle wins the division. You think Seattle wins the division. I still think sam fran is a playoff team, but I think they're like in the ten to eleven win team. I think they drop off a little bit. We don't know we're getting quarterback play. We
don't. As much as I want to believe in Bryce Petty, yeah, as much as it as being a Niner fan, I want to believe that that's real, I don't believe it's real until it until you see it really happen. Okay, there is something about this team where Cardinals win two games maybe three max this year, hopefully one of them is against Dallas when we go to that game, Uh, Cardinals. I think I think LA will win some more. I think LA will finish like a seven or eight win
team. Yeah, but I think Seattle's going to jump up to like a twelve win and sam Fran's gonna drop to eleven, and they'll both be playoff teams and sam Franz is gonna be more dangerous in the playoffs. But Seattle should win the division. Arizona's going to be fighting for the worst record ever in football, hands down. Yeah, Like that's where they're That's where they're at, the Rams, the wheels are fucking off, dude, like that
that team might actually be right down there with them. I'm sorry, it's possible. I don't. I don't. I don't fully disagree with you. See, I mean I could see it. My instincts, my guts tell me Seattle is going to run away with this division. I would not be surprised if them in San fran per usual, comes down to the last couple of weeks and they're fighting for the for the fucking division win. It would not surprise me. Yeah, Okay, I don't think that's gonna happen.
I have a feeling that San Francisco. Something is going to happen to San Francisco where they fall victim to multiple things like weird game endings, weird injury moments. You know they're gonna be battling people that can't stay healthy all year, where like the guys like Christian McCaffrey comes in and out of games, and like Bryce in and out of games, in and out of games. I just feel like that's the season they're destined to have do. I think
they are a good team. If you put all of them healthy on the field, and I'm guaranteed to have that team healthy for the whole game, and you put them up against anyone else in the division, or I mean anyone else in the NFL, They're a top ten team in my eyes. Yeah, but I don't think that's gonna happen this year for them. I agree that that's all I'm saying. I'm not taking away any of the talent. I'm not taking away I'm not taking away their defense, which is going
to be good again, right. I just think we're gonna see inconsistencies, injuries, and some a couple of random fluke fucking plays that cost them games. I believe it. I can see it. Yeah, and that's what's Seattle's gonna run away with that division. Okay, so fair enough, all right, Well that's a breakdown. Maybe as maybe as it gets closer to playoff time, we'll give a playoff breakdown. You want to throw out any like random ass like super Bowl matchup, just to call it right now.
Baltimore, Yeah, m hm, say it, say it, say it, Baltimore and the Saints. Fuck it now, Baltimore, Baltimore. And I think I think it'll be Baltimore and Minnesota. Really yeah, yeah? Do you know how much you know how awesome that bashup would be Baltimore versus Minnesota. Yeah, Purple versus Purple and can be fucking great. It'd be great, dude, All right? Well, uh, dads on daquel two l's you can find us link tree l I n K t R dot E E slash Dad's on dqueal you can find all of our stuff, our merch

M M. You know, I've asked so many people what lgbt O it was supposed to be a Q even though it says oh stands for so far, nobody's giving me a straight answer. But you know, worse than that, I hate school shooter jokes. I think it's just because they're targeted at a younger audience. That's not miss sh
