This is Hunter Henry, tied in for the Los Angeles Chargers. And you're listening to the Fantasy Footballers podcast. To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Just me and my favorite people. And Jason and Mike. Oh, man. Welcome into the show, the Fantasy Footballers back with you. Set us up to knock us down.

Yeah, but I've got the affection of the two producers now. And that's important. Oh, man. I thought you were talking about the Foot Clan, the listeners. But now you're bodybagging them. They're, what, their fifth place? Great job, host. Well, they're not physically present with us, are they? Yes. They are? Well, when they are listening, which is the only reason we record the show. Okay. They are physically present. We should. Now, this is...

I mean, our studio is, it's nice sized. I guess we have some height to it. Are we, we should, I'm just thinking a live studio audience, but what is it, what is, isn't an audience plural? Like, we have room for one. Yeah, well, we could fit more if, like, if we worked out some harnesses and, like, suspended people. I think people would pay for that. Well, they'd pay for the ride. I don't know if they'd want to watch the show. And then we have a whole new business. Oh, there you go.

Tuesday, February 11th. Oh, what do we got here? Oh, it's the live studio audience. Yes, yes, yes, everybody calmed down. And it's actually February 9th. Don't know why it timed 11th. I did. I'm wrong. What you know for sure, Brooks, is I'm going to read the date. That's the one thing you know for sure. And I'm not going to vet the date because I'm too busy dealing with the studio audience.

Now, have you been to, you've done some of the, like, I went to Fallon. I saw Fallon. I've never seen a live talk show. No? I've, I've toured studios and things. But you've been to, like, Price is Right. No. No? No, I auditioned for Family Feud. Oh, that's what it was. And I was accepted to be on the family feud and got the card in the mail that says, hey, we're going to be calling you soon. And then the host quit and everything went, went in the garbage. And I was never on.

You ever seen any show live, Jason, any of the late-night shows or anything? No, I mean, I was a theater major, so I've been in pretty live shows. I don't audience. Oh, my gosh. Mike gets it. All right. The Super Bowl took place yesterday. It did. That was a butt-waping.

Yeah, I mean, I see a graphic of three Zs, like a snooze fest for Super Bowl 55. Fifty-five! Was it a snooze fest, Brooks? After the first half or so, I mean... I didn't find it to be the best game. I guess from what we were expecting from the Chiefs offense. So we went from just real happy to have a full season and the playoffs in a Super Bowl to like... Boring! Boring!

Well, we're all, you need to judge the Super Bowl. It is watched, is the most watched television event of the year, and it must be judged appropriately. Look, I thought the Super Bowl was, I thought the Super Bowl was borderline awesome. And I think it's, it's a matter of perspective, right? Because if, if you are really, really, really wanting, you know, high scoring and you're wanting Pat Mahomes and you're wanting the offense to be great, which, you know, that's.

That's where I usually live. That's where we're all wanting. Then I see how, you know, it's a little bit of the boring. But I saw the game as more. So it didn't have the thing that everybody wanted the game to have. So you can understand why people thought the game was boring. Well, I also wanted that. But my point is if that was all you cared about. Now, I care about that.

But I actually enjoyed watching the whooping that the defensive line was handing out to the backups of the Kansas City Chiefs. It wasn't like this low-scoring, you know, run the ball, defensive. It was just like, they're crushing. They are making Pat Mahomes run backwards the second he gets the ball. And I, you know, I love Mahomes. I love the Chiefs. You know, I wanted a high-scoring game. But I actually enjoyed just watching a complete.

domination well i think that for me the uh the legacy aspect for brady transcended the lack of competitiveness in the game the fact that you were just seeing history like people needed to appreciate what they had the chance to watch last night a young superstar in mahomes running for his life that part stunk not having the o line getting the competitive game that stunk his receivers

getting hit in the hands and the face. Or the face because their hands didn't collapse on the ball. But, you know, but seeing Brady do what he did and reach, you know, this another level that you just, you just kind of shake your head and all. He's 43 years old. He looked incredible. Yeah, I mean, the first half. James Winston couldn't have done that. No, the first half when Brady had to throw.

He was electric, three touchdowns, 80% completion rate, went short, went long. He was, he was outstanding. And I think I've finally come to terms with the fact that he's a decent quarterback. It's, you're in good things. Yeah, I think he's going to, I think he's going to. No, Phillip Rivers, but. Oh, goodness. But no, I, I, I enjoyed watching history, like Andy said. The, the fact that.

The narrative where you have a quarterback at 43 changing teams, no Bill Belichick, he can't do it without Uncle Billy, to a team that didn't make the playoffs last year in a pandemic, has to beat in consecutive order. Drew Brees, Aaron Rogers, Patrick Mahomes. At some point, you got to give the man his dude. Yeah, it was incredible. And I believe there were some pretty heavy.

Tampa Bay bets. I think the biggest bet in Vegas was like $3.24 million on Tampa Bay. That mattress dude. Yeah, to win 2.24 or something of that nature. It was also, beyond the Super Bowl, the day that we were able to celebrate the release of the 2021 Ultimate Draft Kit and the UDK Plus, which is brand new for this year. You get instant access. Oh, great. The audience loves it.

Can you put like a cap on that button there, Al Borland? But the UDK Plus yesterday, the Dynasty Pass, instant access to that. You can check it all out at Ultimate DraftKit.com. The response has been very positive, which we love to see. We're making improvements to it. I can tell you right now, college player profiles are coming to the Dynasty Pass. So be on the lookout. And just to emphasize that point again, you're getting the lowest possible price of the UDK, and you would get

into the Dynasty Pass, which is up right now. You could go get into content for Dynasty players. Yeah, and you also get in or to win a listener league spot, which is kind of a big deal. And so if you pre-order before March 1st, you get a shot at that listener league spot and some other bonuses at Ultimate DraftKit.com. They are loving it, guys. We want to hear thank you people. We love you, Phuglan. I don't know how to make it stop. I don't have control anymore. Can't stop them. I don't have control.

If you could get me like a ooh, you know, like when they, when characters used to smooch in 80s sitcoms. You'd put that in there? Yeah. I just give me a full sitcom. I want to laugh track. Nobody wants this. And I need them, I need their buttons on a power strip near me so that I can flip that breaker. You know what I mean? Just for emergencies. I'll work on that. Okay. All right. We talked about Super Bowl 55.

I guess some player highlights there really need to see Gronk have a big game. Yeah. And then playoff Linney. Leonard Fournett ran well. He played himself into a contract. He's going to be a starting running back next year. And depending on where he goes, he could be relevant for fantasy, which is something that... Tampa Bay has said they want him back. When he was cut from the last place, Jaguars this year, you did not think you had any asset left in your dynasty league.

We do have the tight-in truth episode today. We'll get into that momentarily. Some brief NFL news and notes. I mean, I don't know if you guys were aware of this, but the 2021 fantasy season has just begun. It has. And so the Vikings, they hired Clint Kubiak as their offensive coordinator. Coobes. New Coobes. Yeah.

This is great. Not old cooves. I love what they said. They literally want the Kubiak system to stay. Like, they know this. Excuse me, Clint. What do you have to offer us? They, they know how valuable the Kubiak system is. Oh, nobs. Yeah, that's true. Nubes. But a noob is something else. No, a noob is a new person. A noob. Yeah, but a new, but it's an insult. Not necessarily.

Well, if you ever called someone a noob or a newbie? No, I've never meant it in a good way. Thank you. Yeah, okay. Fair enough. Oh, man, he's so great at him. He's brand new. Check out this new. That was Al Borland. That's not me. He said that. Yeah. But, Jason, you were worried about Kubiak and the Kubiak system leaving. Yeah, I mean, it's, it.

It matters. Kubiak has had a great running system wherever he's been his entire career, including Miami or Minnesota, when you go, oh, they don't have the best offensive line. It worked. And so I do like, look, I don't know if Clint Kubiak has more than the name, but I do love that. I mean, he's come up in that system. So I would imagine he knows how to continue running it. And it just shows the commitment to what we saw this past season going forward.

They're not trying to change their offense. They want their offense to stay what it was. So I do like this hire. Yeah, it's great news for Dalvin Cook managers. Adam Schefter reporting the Eagles are expected to trade Carson Wins in the coming days. Oh, oh, man. Chicago on standby. Chicago, if you're listening to the Bushes, Chicago is the number one contender right now. Indianapolis. But in hilarity.

he would go to Chicago who just traded for Nick Foles this past off season and then would be sending Nick Foles back to Philadelphia, although I'm not sure how that works because Nick Foles also has a really gross and bloated contract that would Philadelphia actually want that? Or, or do we get the chaos of Carson Winston, Nick Foles?

back together again competing for a starting job impossible you can't have that narrative there i need to speak i mean we need it we need it on the show but no i mean foals is a hero you imagine that first knock on the door carson wins arrives he's in the training room oh hey it's me and by all accounts like you don't you don't hear bad things about nick foals

character or its personality. He sounds like he's... So everybody loves Nick. He sounds like he's a good dude. And a lot of people don't like Carson wins. He would lose the locker room the next day. It would be a nightmare. So we'll see. I mean, tons of quarterbacks potentially changing teams. Ian Rappaport is saying the Texans are standing firm on the fact that they don't want to trade Deshaun Watson. People have not offered the three first rounders yet. That's what that says to me.
