The supposed series-ending Megalodon has generated a large giveaway response. A host asks Brooks when the winners will be announced; Brooks answers 'Tomorrow' off camera, and the desk says he is still sifting through many tweets. Near the close, the hosts also order Brooks to remove Isaiah Likely from the dud list, but no second reply or booth cut appears.
Foot Clan Instagram and X reactions become a rapid list including Pat Firemuth, infinity and Bijian, three Kyren Williams variants, Yalen Hertz, Jonathan Taylor touchdowns, Rice Rice Baby, Dalton Schultz the Bed, Poop Nacua, Gus Bust, Doodoo Metcalf, Lames Conner, and Sequin Barfley. The published monitor visibly reads MONDAY PUNDAY while the hosts remain normally dressed.
After Andy's Dak-CeeDee opening, Jason concedes, changes his Slack avatar to GONE with a skull, travels north, and unplugs. He says he covered himself in honey and ran through the woods hoping for a bear, but the bears were hibernating and uninterested in losers. He also forgets his planned Gabe Davis-for-Josh Downs switch, concedes again while down 30, nearly wins through Jalen Hurts, and finally loses to Andy by five while Davis remains on the bench. Andy credits a peer-reviewed refusal to watch Jason's players, and both managers still appear playoff-bound.
Cooper Kupp's active-but-untrustworthy status makes the hosts ask how someone can play and not play him at once. Their solution is a fantasy league devoted entirely to mental peace: cut every difficult player and make the decision somebody else's problem.
Jason begins sympathizing with Arthur Smith, so the desk verifies that Kyle is on microphone and introduces him as a lifelong, born-and-bred, bleed-Falcons-red fan. Kyle answers 'I am,' calls Jason's optimism refreshing, notes Atlanta leads the division below .500, and says using the best players has always been one of his keys. Direct one-second video stays exclusively on the three hosts.
Jason says accepting Mike's Michael Pittman trade and starting Pittman over Josh Downs would have beaten Andy. A verified full-frame Pittman City/Pity City package erupts over the live desk with Pittman in Colts uniform, three rainbow-glasses host cutouts, crown/antler headwear, a bottle, fireworks, shattered glass, and an upside-down owl-bodied human figure. The desk then says Mike tracks every rejected Pittman offer and the chosen alternatives so he can dunk on multiple managers, perhaps paying more attention to the vindictive ledger than his own team.
The hosts write the back of Gabe Davis's mock company card: he is a great blocker whose company tagline is 'Enjoy these bench points,' followed by a goose when inserted into a lineup. Jason then forgets to start Davis for the 105-yard touchdown that could have won his matchup, and the desk calls Davis's bye week the favorite and happiest week to roster him.
Complete video review shows Andy at left in an aqua T-shirt and dark cap with teal brim, Jason centered in a black T-shirt, black cap, and black-framed glasses, and Mike at right in a white T-shirt and purple/orange Valley cap. No fourth desk occupant or live producer-booth cut appears. The prerecorded WITH THE DUCERS card labels Brooks/Judge Giamatti, Jeremy/Owl Borland, and Kyle/The Borgogon. The Megalodon giveaway advances when a host asks Brooks when winners will be announced; Brooks answers 'Tomorrow' off camera, and the hosts say he is still sifting a large tweet response. Late in the show they direct Brooks to remove Isaiah Likely from the dud list, without a cutaway or distinct reply. This is Megalodon giveaway follow-through, not Megalabowl or Listener League information. Monday Punday turns Foot Clan Instagram/X reactions into Pat Firemuth, infinity and Bijian, Kyren Thrilliams/I Win Williams/Kai Win Williams, Yalen Hertz, Jonathan Taylor touchdowns, Rice Rice Baby, George Little, Dalton Schultz the Bed, Poop Nacua, Gus Bust, Doodoo Metcalf, Lames Conner, and Sequin Barfley. Jason concedes after Andy's Dak-CeeDee start, changes his Slack avatar to GONE with a skull, leaves for a northern cabin, slathers himself in honey to be eaten by a bear, and finds the bears hibernating and uninterested in losers. He had planned to replace Josh Downs with Gabe Davis, forgot while unplugged, then watched Jalen Hurts revive the matchup after a second concession. Andy responds with a peer-reviewed superstition of not watching Jason's remaining players and wins by five while Davis's points remain on Jason's bench; both managers still appear playoff-bound. The desk turns Cooper Kupp's impossible start/bench choice into a mental-peace league where managers cut every hard decision. Kyle is placed on microphone as a lifelong, born-and-bred, bleed-Falcons-red fan and calls Jason's Arthur Smith optimism refreshing; one-second video remains on the three hosts, confirming Kyle as an off-camera voice. Jason later admits Mike's rejected Michael Pittman trade would have won the matchup. A verified full-frame Pittman City/Pity City composite then overlays the desk with Michael Pittman in Colts uniform, three host cutouts wearing rainbow glasses, crown/antler headwear, a bottle, fireworks and shattered-glass effects, and an upside-down owl-bodied human figure. It is a produced graphic, not live attire or a Jeremy appearance. The hosts reveal that Mike tracks every team that rejected his Pittman offers to see whether the chosen alternative lost, just so he can dunk on them. No Jay Griz name, voice, image, cardboard cutout, theme, sound cue, fill-in, or fourth seat occurs. Jason's wild-bear story and the standard opening's generic black bear are explicitly distinct from Jay Griz.
If you're down a lot, he's not that guy. I mean, that is, he's got Pittsburgh and the by week. Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. When they, yeah, they just didn't go to running backs. Can you play him? This is a tweet from Jared Smola. This was, I guess, this was through the first three quarters of week 12. Connor was six carries, four targets. Demarcato was three carries. Michael Carter was one carry. I mean, they just, they were not. utilizing the position. But that is a fundamental change from what happened at the end of last year where he was on the field all the time and he caught the ball better. He literally was, I mean, I think when you watched the games last year with the volume in the receiving game and the quality of receptions, he was one of the best pass catching running backs in football. And now the team is saying, I've drawn up third down for DeMarcato and Michael Carter. I mean, he still had five targets in this game, which is great for a running back.
I think you don't know how much of the fourth quarter being really, really down and out was protection, was, oh, you know, you're not our two-minute drill guy. I don't know. But going on the road to Pittsburgh, that is not an offense that scares me. I know that Arizona has a bad defense and they are the, you know, the cure to a lot of woes out there. But I think James Conner is a fine play this coming week. Pittsburgh's not been phenomenal against the run. So, okay. Okay, yeah, it was, as somebody who was watching for something from James Carter, it was a tough one to watch, but I hope you're right. I hope he's involved. This team has got the second pick in the draft right now, and I just wonder if they're working other guys out or what. But Joe Mixing, this was a monstrous dud of a game. Cincinnati is broken. If you didn't watch the game.
and you're just only looking at like Jamar Chase's stat line. Okay, I can live with that. Two tip passes. Yeah. Over, over half of his production was on two. Accidental. Tipped passes. So, uh, it's, it's going to be bad. It's going to be bad. Yeah. Yeah. Zach Sharba. Yeah. Sharbust. I mean, he, his volume was fantastic. Four targets. 14 carries, 88% in snaps. He let all NFL running backs. It was exactly what you want. It wasn't efficient, effective, great for fantasy. It was against San Francisco 49ers. So you go, well, how much of that was just, hey, you're facing a great defense? You mean like Dallas or San Francisco or Philadelphia the next three weeks? Yeah, that's the next month. Just like those last two guys, next week, would you rather play mixing against the Jags?
or Charbonnet against Dallas. Charbonnet. And I would go Charbonnet. I'd play mixing. Charbonnet has had a very interesting ability to have a lot of snaps and no production. Even when Walker was there. When Walker was there, he was getting a lot of snaps, but not a lot of opportunities, not touching the ball. And now the opportunities are actually up. 21 last week, 18 this past week. I'm going to take that volume and the... chance that Seattle scores more than the chance that the Browning lead Bengals score. Okay. I think that's a tight one. Yeah. Is it tight for you? I don't want to start either. Wide receiver duds, we talked about it. Cooper Cup, Pooka, Cleveland, Baltimore coming up. It's going to be tough. D.K. Metcalf, nine targets back to a subpar game. Tyler Lockett, just three for 30 as well. So Metcalf, Lockett, and Smith & Jig, but all three were disappointments.
Along with Charbonnet. Along with Seattle. Yeah, the Niners kept San Francisco or the Niners kept Seattle to 13 total points in the game. Well, the wide receiver five in weeks one through six, Adam Thielen, has been the wide receiver 44 from weeks eight on after the buy. Who knew? One catch two yards. The gas tank ran out. Are you moving on? No. I'm not like leaving. I'm not. Mingo led the team. I'm not dropping him, but I'm fine looking at waiting. Last week, he was at 11 targets, 8 for 74 against Dallas. DeAndre Hopkins, Marty Cooper, both huge disappointing weeks. Cooper can't do much right now and now he's hurt. Man, Banana Ramah got us. He got us so good. Will Levis, you sneaky snook. I mean.
You come out that first week when no one was prepared for you. But you were out of ammo. Yeah. I mean, you made everyone who said you were not good and going to be bad like we did. Look so foolish that first week because it was like, oh man. He's on a winning streak now. I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Play Carolina more. Yeah, he's not good. Terry McLaurin continues to disappoint. Deontze Johnson, 4 for 50. Still thought he had a touchdown. I think he had a touchdown. I mean, that was. In college. No, it was, yeah. I mean, we're talking about the back of the end zone. Yeah, you've got to survive the ground. But to me, it looked like he had caught it, was turning, and then got pushed to the ground. Yeah, it looked like a fumble was caused by the defender after three steps. Obviously, we're wrong. It wasn't a catch. Josh Downs had 13 targets.
He had some drops. He had some way off target targets and he ended up five for 43. That's a shame. What a bummer. He's still probably a good play. Would you have won? Would you have won with Hollywood? I don't think so, but I didn't look at that. He wasn't actually a consideration. I was literally, I was just curious if like all your bench wide receivers would have won you the game. I told you this morning. My plan was to put in Gabe Davis over Josh Downs. That was what I meant to do. I checked your team every single day expecting to see that happen. And I went to the cabin for the Thanksgiving weekend and lost. You dummy. Yeah. Whoops. Tight ends that let you down. Dalton Schultz just one for two. George Kittle. Three for 19. Jake. Is it what he does. Jake Ferguson won for 35. Mr. Non-existent in the second half. Dalton Kincaid had six targets five for 38.
And then they didn't use him again. Yeah, he looked really good. And he was out there on every play. He looked really good. Like the five for 38 he got, I thought was really nice. It got overthrown on one of those passes that he, you know, it wasn't his fault and looked good and then disappeared. But all while Buffalo scoring and doing great, so he can't really criticize it. They go into the buy? Is that true? Yeah. Yeah. Gabe Davis, remember? Oh, yeah. Isaiah likely, four for 40. I'm taking that out. Yeah, take that out. I boo that. That's fine. Waiver wire four for 40? Yeah, yes, fine. That's six points. That's fine, Brooks. Well, take it out. Take it out, Brooks. It's not likely to win you a week. No, it isn't. But it's not likely to lose you one either. Yeah, I mean, you, I mean, it's certainly not. Oh, you would have lost by 0.84 if you played Hollywood. Oh, all right. Good. Okay. Crazy.
We didn't talk about Hollywood, but that Arizona game. Oh, Kyle, how was, I mean, Kyler, I guess he had a rushing touchdown. That was one of the most abysmal offensive performance I've ever seen. Everyone wants to blame just the offensive line on it. And I'm like, Kyler was inaccurate. All right. Did we forget anybody? Looking over there. I mean, who knows? If we forgot him, we will never know. All right, we have a waiver show tomorrow. So make sure you tune in.
