Fantasy Football 2018 - The Footies: 2017 Awards Nominations, Studs & Duds

But it's like, Alex Smith might not be their quarterback next year. I won't focus on the selection process and question the selectors. You guys remember our Alex Smith conversation last year, last off season? Of course. One of our first shows in this, in this studio. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He picks your kids up on time, except for this year. He would have been the saltine cracker nickname, except he was pretty darn good. Put some Nutella on that cracker this year. Yeah. Okay. Steel of the draft.

Which player was the absolute best value in 2017 compared to their ADP? This is one of my favorite categories. So this is best value based on their average draft position. The nominees are Alvin Kamara, Marvin Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Zach Ertz, Evan Ingram, Carson Wins, and Adam Thiela. And if there are any great names out there, great nicknames, you go, wait, what about this guy?

It had, in order to be eligible for this year's footies, we had to come up with it in 2017. It had to just naturally come up on the show. It's all the old greats. And then the final, most important maybe, for one of us around here. The guest host of the year, who is the best fill in whenever Andy, Mike, or Jason missed a show. And the nominees here are Jay Gris.

That was when he was filling in for you. Right. And then also Jay Gris. Yeah, when you were out of town. And then Jay Gris filled in for... I had to leave once. Jason one time. Unfortunately, he is not able to fill Brooks's post. And Brooks, you're actually heading out of town in a week, so we won't... Have you ever seen a bear try and operate a computer? No. No, it's not pretty. It doesn't go well. Are you a... Brooks, be honest. You've been around here for a long time. How afraid are you?

of what's going to happen when you leave because sure one of us leaves big deal right yeah we can be replaced literally by a cardboard bear we joke that you know daddy's gone and we have a party but when you're gone yeah we got work to do no one can stop anything from happening no fear no fear no worries no are you actually not leaving yeah he's like i canceled my trip maybe he figured out a way to do it remotely

I got a cardboard Paul Giamatti in the mail. Oh, that would be great. Man, if only we had a camera on you, I would buy that immediately. But nobody knows what you look like, Brooks. It looks like Paul Giamati. Yeah. All right. Hey, thanks for a great year. But stay tuned right here. We got truth episodes coming up. Well, the footie award winners on Thursday, playoff football.
