Mike turns a rejected Pittman trade into regrets.com
Weeks after another manager rejected a Michael Pittman trade, Mike still tracks how the team would have performed with Pittman and admits messaging that manager's opponents about the missed value, prompting the idea of a regrets.com archive.
Fedora Week turns Jason into Tommy DeVito's agent
A photograph from the earlier Fedora Week shows the hat Jason had to wear; beside discussion of Tommy DeVito, the hosts agree that the costume made Jason look like DeVito's agent.
Mike's three-peat Team of Destiny stays humble
Mike's co-managed League of Record side is called the Team of Destiny and credited with three consecutive championships. Its members insist destiny is unknowable in method but certain in destination, chant about being humble champions, describe titles as dragon slaying with Nasty Boy weapons, and recall Jared Patterson, Justin Watson, and Hassan Haskins as improbable championship contributors. Brooks is the opposing manager in this episode.
Kyle loses a bye and the playoffs in four straight games
Kyle is announced as being in the building, then says he cannot knock the Team of Destiny out because he missed the playoffs. A division lead vanished in one week, and a scenario in which only four consecutive losses could cost him a bye ends with Kyle confirming that he lost all four.
Dobby Lobby blinds, suffocates, and cooks Andy
A Fantasy Faceoff loss forces a Wheel of Shame spin that lands on Dobby Lobby. Andy wears an ill-fitting Harry Potter house-elf head, cannot see except through misplaced slits, can barely breathe, is asked for a Dobby voice, and later reports that the mask is over a thousand degrees while the giant ears delight everyone else.
A bit cheaper becomes one dangerous run-on
During Fantasy Faceoff, the phrase that Puka Nacua is 'a bit cheaper' lands as an awkward run-on word. The speaker repeatedly switches to 'a little bit cheaper' while the other hosts explain that the preceding 'a bit' was all they heard.
An unnamed Faceoff leader posts a $200 bounty on himself
After the lineups are revealed, an unidentified Fantasy Faceoff participant says he will pay each rival $100 if he fails to win, calls it a one-way deal rather than a bet, and boasts that his season victories exceed Mike's plus the other rival's combined.
Episode notes
FootClan Friday gives Nick Lakata $100 in championship merchandise. Mike is then explicitly called a grudge holder: weeks after a rejected Michael Pittman trade, he continues calculating the rejecting team's alternate results and admits messaging that manager's opponents about what they could have had, inspiring the proposed regrets.com. A photo of Jason's prior Fedora Week punishment makes him look like Tommy DeVito's agent. League of Record talk establishes Mike's co-managed Team of Destiny as a three-time consecutive champion whose members stay comically humble and describe destiny as a dragon-slaying path powered by Nasty Boys such as Jared Patterson, Justin Watson, and Hassan Haskins. Brooks is Mike's playoff opponent in this episode, not the owner of Team of Destiny. Kyle arrives in the building only to explain that a four-game losing streak turned a division lead and possible bye into a missed postseason. Fantasy Faceoff then sends Andy to the Wheel of Shame. Dobby Lobby lands, placing him in an ill-fitting house-elf head with tiny eye slits, no usable vision, barely any air, giant ears, and more than a thousand degrees of heat. During the costume segment, 'Puka's a bit cheaper' becomes an awkward run-on-word joke, and an unnamed Faceoff participant offers each rival $100 if his allegedly dominant lineup loses.
