Hopkins Bombshell + Free Agent Madness - Fantasy Football Podcast

I'm tricking the week 17ers into playing their championship one week early, Mike. Get on my level. I mean, what a great idea, Jason. But for week 16 championships, you know, the majority of leagues, the best leagues out there, you will want to move to a week 17 championship. But, well, we think week 17 because we don't know if there's going to be another buy week. Sure. The details are not worked out.

And the most important thing to know, because I've been fielding these questions already. Like, what do we do about this upcoming season? Nothing, because this is not for this upcoming season. Right. 2020 will be 16 games. It'll be the same NFL that you're used to. In fact, 2021 is not a lock to be the first year that they moved to 17 games because of all the things they're figuring out. I think some people in the internal circles of the NFL expect that the 17 week season will start first in 2022.

Here's what I know about the extra game. The owners are going to make a lot more money. Here's my prediction. It will happen in 2021 because the fat cats will figure out how to make it happen by then. They want that money. Yeah, that's fair. We won't get into all the stuff of what does it do for the players? I mean, the basic thing is lower level guys, they're going to make.

a good bit more money. So this is why it passed. The elite tier players, they didn't like it, but it's far more common to have players who have minimum salary contracts and they're going to make a lot more money. I would say the only other real relevant thing here is the drug testing policy where, you know, if they are found to test positive for...

marijuana, which now a positive test is much, much, much higher. Right. They raise the threshold. Yeah. It does not come with suspension. So Josh Gordon is pissed. It's one of those things where it's like, man, this guy's lost his career to, you know, the marijuana drug test, which now is like, ah, you're good. But we move forward. And by moving forward, I think you mean one more for the road.

Party time. Thank you for tuning in, Foot Clan. It's been a good day amid a weird time. It sounds really weird for me to start saying stay safe while the party music plays. Hey! Hey, follow the rules and the regulations that are being placed out because we all have to work together to make this thing work. Okay, I can't do this with the party. Can't do it with the party music.

But there's a part of that music that reminds me of Ghostbusters. I don't know what it is. You are correct. Yeah. Yeah. But instead we can say like, Go Hopkins. Yeah. Thank you for tuning in, Foot Clan. I hope we could bring you at least this hour of relief in the crazy time. We will be here with our regularly scheduled programming. Fear not.
