And those that followed the advice from the fantasy footballer's Ultimate Draft Kit had a spectacular season and withstood many victories. It's almost as if Biff had given each of them a copy of Grey's Sports Almanac. I'd highly recommend heading over to www.ultimateraftkit.com without any further delay.

to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. What's going on, everybody? Morning! Jason's wearing a Back to the Future t-shirt. It is, well, it's a Fantasy Footballer's T-shirt, but definitely looks like a Back to the Future shirt.

That was quite the intro. Doc Brown. Nice to have Doc Brown in the house. Doc Brown knows what he's talking about people. He has been to the future. And the future is now because the draft kit is out. It's live. Hia! Oh, it's been draft kit.com. Hit me! Hit me! The draft kit is out. That is the big news. A lot of work went into that bad boy. A lot of work still going into that bad boy. Updated frequently.

will continue to throughout the entire summer. Features, some features even still to come. If you don't know what we're talking about, ultimate draft kit.com, check it out. It is now able to be seen. It was all pre-order for the past month and a half. It is out. We're updating it all the time. A lot of people ask, do you update it during the summer? Yeah, it's not a magazine. You're darn right, we do. This bad boy's getting updated all the time. So check it out. It lives. We got a good show today. We got Jake Seeley from the Fantasy Sports Network, the all-in kid. He is on the show.

We're talking some, I guess, some differences between his rankings, our rankings. Just getting some seely takes. Yeah. Well, he's great. You sound terrible today. Do I? Is it coming through? It's coming through. Are you? I'm pushing through, man. Let me put it this way. How are you doing? I am okay. It was a very long night. The right household saw some trauma. You wanted to talk about this. Well, there was a, sometimes when kids go to school.

Things get in their hair and their bugs and they... And they ruin your life. We didn't know if we were going to be recording today. Yeah. Because we didn't know if you'd make it in, but you... Well, we decided we can clean everything, you can bleach everything, or you can just burn the house down. We went with that option. So currently looking for a new residential area.

I can't help but picture the scene from E.T. Where they, you know. Yes, that is exactly what is like. Wearing those type of hazmat suits. This might come up in the show after the show, I'm sure. Ah, well, sure. As long as it doesn't come out in my house. On YouTube. All right. We'll get to the quick question here in a minute. You guys can preview that if you look at the dock there. Connect with us on jointhefoot.com.

You can follow us on Twitter at the FF Ballers. If you do that, you'll be able to tune in when we do Periscopes, which we did yesterday. Yeah, very successful. About 300 people were on there with us live. Super fun. That was a lot of fun. Just answering questions for an hour, fantasy questions, questions about the show, questions about Mike's beard.

Yeah, there was many questions about the beard. We're also on YouTube where you can subscribe to the show, the Fantasy Sports Network, as well, and Facebook and Snapchat and Instagram and yada. The Snapchat's and the... Yeah, and if you have a question, today's a mailbag show. We're talking to Jake Sealy. We're also answering questions from listeners that they submitted to us via the website, the fancy footballers.com. There's a submit a question button, and we have a voicemail hotline as well, which is 302464 TFFB. So...

Without further ado, let me get into the quick question, guys, and it is a simple one. This is a, I'm checking in again. Did something happen? No. Okay. No, we're just, you know, it's June 1st. Temperature 2. This is our Josh Gordon watch. June 1st. We need to drop the first of every month. Yeah, we do. Like a CNN situation room. There you go, do, do do do do do do do do do do. There you go. Josh Gordon watch. Josh Gordon watch. It's June 1st. Basically, the question is this. Has anything changed for you? Do you believe he'll play this year?

Do you really have no idea? I have no idea, but I still think that he's going to play this year. But I heard, I think it was Rich on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. He was talking about Josh Gordon. And the guy has gotten in trouble every single year, like through college, into the pros.

Every year there is an incident with him. Well, he's turned it around now. I mean, he's only hanging out with Johnny Mansell. That's what I'm saying. Like, I want to believe in Josh Gordon. I still believe in Josh Gordon, but the history and that he has presented for me is not allowing that to stay a strong belief. I will say this for the quick question. I am still drafting Josh Gordon.

very, very late in most of my NFL tens because... Just because he's worth the chance. I mean, the other guys I'm getting there, you know, are just as risky of never putting up a point on my roster. I'm talking about like your last, you know, your last pick of he's still there. And the upside is I've got, you know, a possible top wide receiver. But I don't believe he comes back. Even with that stated, just because you've seen in the NFL recently...

The guys that mess up for a long time, I mean, they just don't get reinstated. The NFL doesn't want them to be reinstated. And I don't think I've seen anything from Gordon to say that he's really taken that step and that leap. And when you get to the point in time where, and this scares me even for Martavis Bryant, where you have had this many strikes, it's not like, oh, I just needed a little punishment, and then I will get over it. It's like...

I'm not convinced that these guys will see NFL action. Yeah, you get to the point where it's not just can they get over the NFL rules in return. It's can NFL teams now get over their baggage and be willing to offer them a contract. I would say Hugh Jackson and what he's trying to instill in Cleveland is another strike against Gordon's return. I have been of the opinion that I thought Gordon would come back after two or three games.

I am starting to move away from that, but again, he's worth... See, in my MFL tens, what I do is I draft Jerome Simpson with the very last picture, and then I cut him. Just because you just hate Jerome Simpson. Which you're not even allowed to cut people in MFL tens, but I write in and I have him drop him. Jerome! This is all because of that... I'm making this summer about Jerome Simpson. Jerome Simpson had the one play against this where he flipped over...

Was that, did he flip over washing? He can't catch, and everybody out there knows he can't catch. He's been collecting paychecks for not being able to catch for many years. He's a gymnast. Yeah, he's a gymnast. He should be in the Olympics. Let me ask this final question. I can't help but see this small McFarlane of Rob Gronkowski across the table from me. When does Rob Gronkowski start teaching classes with the NFL Rookie Symposium on how to party and not get suspended and not getting into trouble?

Well, first... Because if Johnny Mansell or Josh Gordon or Darrell Washington, any of these guys just did it the way Gronk did it, which is you win titles, you don't get in trouble. Yeah, I think that's... Is he just a playful? No, I think what it is is you know when the right time to do things are. You know, I tell my kids, like, I love being funny and silly and all that, but there's a time, there's a time to party.

And there's a time to be serious. And I promise you, when they're playing football and they're at Patriots camp, Rob Gronkowski is not messing around and coming in drunk and doing these things for Bill Belichick. That's not, he knows, oh, we just won the Super Bowl or we just went to the Super Bowl or whatever. I'm going to celebrate. That sounds about right for the Patriots. I was just remembering Aaron Hernandez. Sorry, one second. All right. Let's get into the news. He parties a little different. Oh, come on.

News and Notes from Around the League. Hey, before we get into the news and notes, I just want to take this time to remind people, podcast awards.com, the fantasy footballers, through the help of the Foot Clan, we have been nominated for the best sports podcast and the people's choice, but we still need the help of the Foot Clan to push us over the top. And it is. Sylvester Stallone, turning the hat around backwards. It really is an us.

thing, right? Because this is a people's choice. Because we vote for ourselves too. Because we only count as three votes via email. Like when, when, you know, your votes, if your votes bring this trophy, it's bringing the trophy to you to, you know what I mean? And we will keep it for you. Yeah, we're going to host it here. I mean, we're, you know, we're not going to make it, send it on the rounds. The Stanley Cup. No. No. But so here's, you got to go to podcast awards. You've got to do it daily. And on top of that,

So let's finish this. So we're almost halfway done by the time you're hearing this. So let's take it home. That's right. Yep. Voting ends June 12th. So every day. You can do it every day. Every day I'm hustling. There you go. All right. Hey, the first bit of news here that we have for you. Did I already hit the news drop? Yeah. Okay. Just make it sure.

I'm a little under the weather, too. So I'm about 85%. We're going down, America. I feel pretty good. Oh, that's good. For now. You're wearing an actual championship belt upside down. Am I really? Oh. Darn it. It is upside. All right. America. It is actually upside down, though. It's not a joke. He got zapped. So.

First bit of news. ESPN Seahawks reporters. Well, it's the news that Thomas Rawls will... Yes. It's not likely to play in the preseason. I want to hold this bit of news because I want to ask... We're asking Jake about this. Oh, okay. But the news is that one of the Seahawks reporters basically doesn't believe Rawls will play in the preseason. That's... That concerns you? Yes. It does concern me. It concerns me from the fact that...

I think he needs that time to really cement himself as the starter. If the team feels like they have mojo moving through training camp and preseason with maybe it's C Michael, maybe it's pro size. I don't know. Alex Collins. Maybe it's Alex Collins. If they feel like they have something going, then I don't know that they would just say that Rawls has the clout to just say, okay, well, you're like Marshaun Lynch. It doesn't matter. You go in.
