Jacobs Fallout, Preseason Takeaways + Mailbag - Fantasy Football Podcast for 8/31

Have you seen any indications that the year of Mike is officially over? He achieved such a godly level last year that I'm scared to bet against him this year. Any signs would help. You should be. Getting a wrong Starbucks order, T-shirt with a spaghetti stain, anything. Like, did you, in life, Mike, are there some signs potentially that we've noticed, Jason, or that Mike you've noticed, like have you, you know, your shoes untied? And you thought you tied it.

Any reason to believe that you may be heading for more of a... The reason to believe... An average year? ...is just believing in sanity and mathematics. Turn to the mean... I mean, I probably have to, but... Was that... You're compensating for any, like, other things going on?

Oh, personal life's a disaster. There's also, you know, last year. You've been building your house a while. Maybe that was the payoff. Last year, you know, it was a great year for Mike. You had the Ring of Honor twice. Yeah. He got usurped already this year, so there's a sign. You don't know what bothers me is that I know Mike. Mike has his stuff. I mean, Mike has, Mike has his things he's never going to escape. And it's going to be things like Ben Senate. Yeah. And his favorite players are his favoritist. But.

He's been ridiculously reasonable with some of these guys that he was just all over the moon with last year that I tend to believe him. And I hate that about myself. Yeah, you should. You should definitely. It's so frustrating. We haven't seen enough signs. Jason inducting himself to his own hall of things. It's just a start. It's a start. It's so funny. Number one, the bit was. Yeah, you being out shenanigans. The bit was incredible.

pulled off flawlessly neither and i knew what was going on and at the same time because it the i don't think this came up because of the eagles owner was it no no it was already happening this happened the day after your second ring of honor i went okay i'm going all fame what's an important show 2000 oh the live show yeah it was it was incredibly well done um but then the the the owner

getting put into is like both and i had the exact same idea it went in my head i'm like could i pull off a third ring of honor at the live show and i was like i know i let it go and i think andy turns out what you were planning a bit for today i came to the whole team last week when you guys were gone and i go out there and little do i know that this thing's been playing for six months and al you feel free to weigh in

I came to you and I was like, hey, I got this great idea now that Jeffrey Lurie did this. You sure did. And my face probably went white. And everybody in the office apparently heard me. We had a group chat. We had a group chat about this with basically everybody except you two. And I'm getting gifts from like Schneider, the sweat gifts. He's in the other room. It's like, oh my God, what's happening? And I think it was a great relief that I did not come up with it as an idea for the live show. So yeah, eventually I just said, where are you?

you planning on doing this. And he said, I don't know, next week, top of the week. And I was like, cool, man. Oh, I'm on it. Sounds good. I'm on it. I said, I was just really stressed you were going to try to add it to the live show. And I think we wouldn't have time to get it together and it would fall flat. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. You were going to give me all the reasons. And I was going to be like, why?

Why, Jeremy? This is such a good idea. I was terrified that I was going to let on to something or that you already knew. Part of me thought you might have already known, and that's why you were planting land. I did not, but it was a great moment. My kids didn't believe me that you guys didn't know. They're like, no, they knew. No, that's what my family did too. They're like, you knew about that, right? And we're like, if anybody knows Mike at all, you could tell Mike didn't know. Because Mike was so bothered regularly. Every 15 seconds, he got another wave of.

I hate this. Matt writing in, what do you guys do when you're on the clock and there's nobody you like on the board? That's a funny question. You get sad. You scroll. I mean, usually when you're at that point where there's nobody you like, you're later in the draft. And at that point, I think you, honestly, like if you've got whatever your resources for us, it's the UDK, I scroll and I look for the players that I've pre-marked. And sometimes they're...

You know, it's like, wow, do I really pull the trigger here? And it depends on how late you are. If I'm like rounds nine or later, ADP doesn't matter that much to me at that point. It's all just crapshoots. And if I believe someone should be drafted here and they're three rounds later, you know, I'm willing. I still would rather wait another round and get more value. But I think that's my first thing I look for is who.

Who do I have either queued or highlighted in my UDK that I don't want to forget about? If it's an in-person draft, that's often the time that somebody puts that pick on the trading block. Yeah, but if you're online, I would say go look at a different position. Like, do you have your quarterback yet? If you're not liking any of the players, because this happens in like round seven. I'm not really feeling any of these guys. Okay, well, what's been, what's happened at the quarterback position? Or start looking at.

just rookies that you can see a very clear path for, for quick success. Or if all those fails, just start taking those really high profile insurance. High-powered pros. Yeah, I couldn't figure out which word I wanted to say, but it's like Tank Bigsby. Tank Bigsby should be drafted in 100% of leagues. It's just where is the appropriate spot? So you take a player where you're just...

waiting in case Sequin Barkley gets injured. But it's like that, like Kalin Black. You know, there's players where they're not a day one impact on your roster, but crazy stuff happens every week. Tanner and Canada, highballers, not a fantasy question, but who decides what bobbleheads are on the table during the show? I think that's the Falcon, right? I think it's mostly the Falcon. That is correct. Okay.

I will say he decides through one other method, which is he picks ones that he hasn't already broken. Fair. Where's Aryan Foster? Where's my area of Bosnia? Dude, you love it. Where is that one? He had an ankle injury. His head didn't pop off? No, he's got his head. Okay. All right. How did he get the ankle injury? Uh. He stepped off of the curb wrong.

We've all done that. But yeah, he picks him out. It used to be Brooks when he was in the office. And Brooks was meticulous with his like, like, nobody probably noticed with the first eight years of the show, he always tried to pick guys that like slightly thematically match what we were talking about. Which maybe you do as well. Try to. Yeah, yeah.

And then you just punish. Like Randy Moss. You know, we're going to be talking about Randy Moss. Randy Moss is always welcome to the table. Straight cash, homie. Today is Gentie, Mahomes, Moss, and Lamar. But we will accept any and all bobblehead donations. And if they're good and not broken by Matt, we'll put them on the desk. See, if you're real thoughtful, you would have just put out four Hall of Famers. Is that what you think? Oh, because of you. Yeah. I didn't.

You're going to really, I think it's come into mind right now. You're going to really milk this thing. Just today. Just today. I'll put the jacket away after today. And Batman comes back? I don't know. We'll see. Okay. All right. It is a pretty good 3D print there, dude. Yeah. I will say this. There were a few Colonel Sanders. That was what I was going to say. A couple people were like, why does your bus look like Colonel Sanders? And I'm like, yeah, I get it. It kind of does look a lot like a Colonel Sanders. It's a beard, not a goatee, but at the same time, it's got some.

Healthy. Yeah, I can be on the set now. There we go. Perfect. All right. We're going to say goodbye. That's the end of this show. We've got a lot coming up this week.
