Welcome in. One thousand shows. Wow. We're under assault. Oh, my goodness. Wee. Somehow my mug made it through unscathed. Mine didn't. Oh, yeah. You got to go to YouTube. Welcome into the show, the one thousandth episode of the podcast. I am now drinking confetti from my mug. We.

Have, well, by we, I mean, Jason has been making very funny jokes about this being our final show. The sound of those confetti cannons almost turned it into the final show. I think my heart. My heart stopped. Look, I'm a skittish man. I startle easy. Holy Toledo. And you really, the producers are laughing back there. Well done, by the way.

I, you really only had one shot or did you have backups? We did not have backups. No backups. We did, we did a test earlier and they're confident enough to roll with it. Wow. Al Borland, Judge Giamati. That's impressive. No backups is kind of the theme of this show. We don't, we don't go back. Safety nets are for amateurs. When you're.

When you're going to slack line across the Grand Canyon, there's no out. You just do it. You're going to slack line across the Grand Canyon. Hold on tight. Oh, my gosh. Well, think evil Knievel had safety nets. No, that's why his body was broken all the time. That's why his hospital bills are so high. We're going to say that's why he's dead right now. All right. Show 1,000, welcome in. We are.

We're with you, Foot Clan. The three of us are along for the ride, so to speak, on today's episode. We do have, it's playoff week. We've got some assistance to bring to you playoff teams out there. I mean, I don't need it this week because I have the bye week in Dynasty. Congratulations. I'm actually not going to research at all.

Oh, that's bad because you're still playing in other leagues. In fact, you are playing against Mike in our League of Record, which I was very disappointed. You told me I was. I know. I was wrong. And Mike has a lot of injuries, and I wanted that. Instead, I'm getting Derek Yeti against me. Yeah. So we do have, Mike and I have a long and storied rivalry in our League of Record. We had three consecutive years where we met in the Fantasy Championship game.

Each of those years more painful than the one prior for Jason. Yeah, that was the dark era. That's as it's called. Oh, I love it. I love it. And we have some buy sell today. We're going to talk about that Tuesday night game, which is not a phrase I've said very often. Tuesdaynight Football.com. Tuesdaynightfootball.com. There's, what, three games on Christmas this year, too? Christmas football.com? Yeah, Christmasfootball.com. I'm on my way.

And we have some special segments that we literally don't know what they are. The producers, the team have put them together. And if they go as well as that intro, this is going to be a spectacular episode of the show. And I'll be deceased. And I'm not making it through another round of those. And if this is your first show, welcome in. This is not how it normally goes. But congratulations on making 1000 your first. I encourage you. Stick around for show.

2000. Yeah. Every, every thousand shows. Which is our final show, by the way. Two thousand? Episode 2000 will be our final show. Yeah, this is the final countdown. And if you're not watching on YouTube, which you can do, YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. Mike is wearing his famous pink suit that he wore to the Espies. Where I believe you spent some time with Robbie Anderson. Oh, I did. Good friend of the show. Yes, great friend of the show. He was very into.

our conversation. I talked to Jared Gough as well. Was he into the pink suit? Was Gough into the pink suit? Oh, who wasn't? Yes. One announcement, this was well timed. Got word this morning. The nominations for My Heart Radio for all of the podcast awards came out. And we were fortunate enough to be nominated for the best sports podcast again. That is three straights. Yeah, three straight nominations. We have a victory.

in that run, and we'll see what happens this year. But thank you, everyone. Yeah. I guess that should be said at the top of this show as we get into it. Yeah, it's a good place to start with the thank yous. Thank you. Everybody out there for the past 1,000 shows. It's pretty crazy to think about from, I shared a picture of us in our upstairs bedroom when we started, and you guys have supported the show. There's another 250 episodes of the footcast in there.

our weekly episode for all of you that have supported us to join thefoot.com. And thank you very much. And we've made it to a thousand. Incredible. All right. Any quick thoughts on the Tuesday night game? Yeah. A couple thoughts. Number one, while the passing yardage was not what you would hope for, it was good to see Lamar Jackson doing.

A portion of the things that you drafted, Lamar Jackson did. He finished with two touchdowns through the air. He had the big rushing touchdown, 94 rushing yards for Lamar Jackson. And that was coming off of COVID. And if you saw there would, he had a quote saying like, I.

don't wish COVID on anybody. So clearly Lamar Jackson was very sick. You know, that's one of the things that is not released to the public is the severity of the symptoms for these players as they're unfortunately suffering through it. Miles Garrett came out recently and said it was really hard on him too. So Lamar Jackson coming back to health right off of his recovery putting this game up.

That was good to see. His matchups for the fantasy playoffs are also great. 107 passing yards. Is that what you were saying you weren't quite looking for? Right. Yeah, that part sucked. Watching the game, I felt like Lamar Jackson stunk. I mean, he had a great fantasy game. You know, he's always a threat on the ground. The Dallas Cowboys, I mean, man, did their defense just not show up for this game? No, they did not. They were run all over. 294.

rushing yards for Baltimore. So it's one of those things where I think it was more about the matchup than Lamar. He didn't look good as a passer as he hasn't looked good since week one. The throw to Hollywood Brown was pretty good in the end zone. That's not to say he doesn't have a flash every game, but consistency hasn't been there. But the nice thing is if the, you know, if the schedule opens up for him and he's got more Dallas Cowboys ahead, well, then great. And J.K. Dobbins. Whoa.

Spontaneous congratulations. Oh my goodness. Hello, my amigos. Brad Evans here from FTE and Fantasy. Gents, congratulations on reaching a number of my unflinching man crush. Hashtag mandatory Montgomery may never achieve in a single season on the ground. 1,000. You guys are industry pioneers, affable dudes who not only possess an infectious sense of humor, but also a wonderful woodsy scent.

When we all can gather again, I can't wait to scratch and sniff each one of you. Oh, my goodness. Here's to the next 10,000. Mike is not going to survive this show. No, I'm going to end up as a weepy mess by the end. Yeah, I, yeah, this show is going to be bananas the rest of the way. I am telling you, Jason diagnosed it quickly as the host of 1,000 episodes of the show and a bit of a control freak. A bit. A bit of a control. A bit. A bit.

I am, you know, like you're going to be surprised. There's type A and then there's type capital A. Now I'm feeling a little bit of self-conscious. No, it's not a bad thing. That's who you are. My name's Andy. Yeah, capital A. That's true. So anyways, before. Oh, no. What's happening? Spontaneous congratulations. Okay.

What's up, fellas? It's JJ Zachary senior. Hey, big congrats in your 1,000th episode. You guys probably need some sort of vocal cord massage at this point. But it's a huge milestone. You guys should feel really proud. The fantasy football world, we're very lucky to have you. And it's been an absolute blast getting to become friends with you guys over the last handful of years. And I always say this to you when I get to see you. But I'm really glad that it was you three who found the success that you found in the fantasy football industry because you're three genuinely awesome people. You're no different off the air.

as you are on the air. I love you guys. Congrats again. Thank you, Jay J. Well, this show is. Dang it you guys. Thank you, Jay to suck. So that's so nice. That's, that's very nice. Who, okay. J.K. Dobbins. J.K. Dobbins, speaking of sneaking things into a show, Jack K. Dobbins snuck it up to 100.

as my taking it to 100 player. I mean, he was, oh, man. He was already, he had a solid game for a running back for fantasy purposes. 11 for 71 with a touchdown. The touchdown came right at the very end. But everyone on the ground having incredible success. The Gus bus. Except for Mark Ingram. The Gus bus was. Oh, he was stopping for no, no pickups on this, on this bus trip. He could have made the bridge jump in speed. Yes. 100%. I mean, seven for 101.

That's ridiculous. Yeah, and again, Jason brought it up. Can't overreact. Dallas didn't show up on defense. Andy Dalton was all right, 285 and 2. He was. I actually thought the Dallas Cowboys offense gave me hope. In fact, I would say what I saw out of the Cowboys gave me a lot of hope going forward because their defense continues to be as bad as it was the beginning of the year.

And their offense is starting to, you know, get together with Andy Dalton and connect. So this is one of those things where they're going to be down. They will be down because their defense stinks. Their defense is committed to that. They're absolutely committed to the highest draft pick they can get. And the offense will have to, you know, keep up. And they're not always going to have to be throwing against the Baltimore Ravens. So I do like Dallas's options going forward. And Zeke, Zeke actually had some success on the ground, which.

Look, you can have a, that's great to have a confidence boost in Ezekiel Elliott moving into the playoffs. And nice to have a little, you know, who do we got, the Ravens next against the Cleveland Browns? Yeah, I was going to say, Clayas Campbell's not himself right now. Yeah, he's not healthy. And now you have Nick Chubb, Cream Hunt against you, Mike. Let's go ahead and move to some buy sell. Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction. I feel like I need to have my head on a swivel today.

Apparently. You never know what's going to have. Have you looked up, Mike? Oh, there's some confetti trapped up there. Yeah, there's confetti everywhere. It's delicious. All right. Last week, we all went two for three on buy sell. So that's nice, you know. Two for three is not bad. Nope. And this week we've got week 14 buy sale, stinkers from week 14 and whether they're going to redeem themselves. So the first buy sell, Alvin Camara at Philadelphia, is he a top 10 running back?
