Week 18 is the nastiest of the Nasty Boys
With Andy away on family business, best friends Mike and Jason host a Week 18 episode introduced as 'unlimited diarrhea' and the nastiest version of the Nasty Boys because ordinary championship starters give way to names such as Davis Mills and Davis Webb.
moment
A championship ring beams directly into Jason's pupil
An unnamed champion host orders another ring for the studio's mounted collection and plans to adjust the light so a single reflected beam points directly into Jason's pupil, emphasizing that Jason's display will not grow this year.
moment
The Wentz-versus-Ryan bet changes winners for the fifth time
Carson Wentz starting for the Rams puts Jason's side back ahead in a years-long bet with the other live host over whether Wentz or Matt Ryan leaves the NFL first. Both sides have already declared victory roughly five times, and even now they wait another season because Ryan could return like Joe Flacco.
moment
Four Fantasy Faceoff losses earn Andy a secret pie
Andy loses Fantasy Faceoff four times in a row, allowing the week's unnamed winner to select the next shame: a pie directly in Andy's face on the following show. Because Andy is away and unlikely to listen to the Week 18 breakdown, the hosts tell the Foot Clan early and ask them not to tag him.
moment
The undefeated Derrick Henry snow model faces its first loss
A Burlington weather-desk report forecasts snow and revives the undefeated Derrick Henry snow model. The hosts audit whether last week's snow merely sitting on the ground invalidated the test, admit it felt like their first loss, and preserve hope by noting Henry's recent failures came specifically against Houston.
moment
Follow the shmoney into Tannehill's hand warmer
DeAndre Hopkins needs 49 yards for one million dollars and seven catches for another $250,000, so the hosts imagine him offering Ryan Tannehill $50,000 for the receptions, slipping bills from his hand warmer, and exploiting a mysteriously failed headset to call repeated Hopkins screens.
summary
Episode notes
Andy is away on family business, so Mike and Jason frame their two-man Week 18 show as best friends helping listeners survive 'unlimited diarrhea' and the nastiest of the nasty boys. A championship-merchandise discussion reveals a studio ring display; an unnamed champion host has ordered another and plans to adjust the light so a single reflected beam hits Jason directly in the pupil. The deepest canon is the five-year Carson Wentz-versus-Matt Ryan bet. Carson starting for the Rams puts Jason's side back in the lead, but the hosts refuse to finalize the result because both men have appeared finished repeatedly, each side has already 'won' several times, and Matt Ryan could still stage a Joe Flacco-style comeback. The hosts joke that Wentz and Ryan know about the bet and are deliberately playing them for fools. Andy's absence creates a separate punishment conspiracy: after Andy loses Fantasy Faceoff four times in a row, the current winner earns the right to choose his shame and decides on a pie to the face for the next day's show. The Foot Clan receives inside information and is told not to tag Andy. A Burlington, Vermont weather report then revives the supposedly undefeated Derrick Henry snow model; last week's snow-on-ground result felt like its first loss, but the hosts keep the model alive by separating Houston matchups from the rest. Matthew Betz's incentive article supports the episode, and the money theme culminates in imagining DeAndre Hopkins stuffing Ryan Tannehill's hand warmer with cash in exchange for screen passes while Tannehill's headset repeatedly fails.
Then we get the report that he's missing and he's sick, and now we are hearing from the athletic that Jordan Mason could be the starter or at least see significant playing time. Follow the news. But if Jordan Mason is the guy, he's going to get a bunch of volume. The San Francisco 49er running back always produces. Yes, he is not Christian McCaffrey. He won't have the starters for the full game. But. He's just like the Rams really don't have a ton of incentive either. Like Aaron Donald's going to rest. So Jordan Mason, if he is out there on your waiver wire, you need to pick him up even if you're not going to play him. Like your opponent is also scrambling for players. Both Elijah Mitchell and Jordan Mason should be picked up and on your bench ready to play. Yeah, I think Donald being out is really important because the Rams run defense has been great. But if they're sitting there great run stuffers, they're sitting there run defense. That's great.
My wide receiver started the week. Michael Pittman, Jr. We built this city versus Houston. We built this city. We're all in on him. Pity City's arguably been one of the most dependable wide receivers in football. He's averaging 10 targets and 74 receiving yards per game this year. He has 203 receptions over the last two years. That's the fifth most in the entire NFL. And he's going to get paid this offseason. But the home matchup is great. We talked about it earlier this episode. against the Texans. They are a pass funnel defense. He had 12 targets against them in week two. And since week 10, the Texans are 30th in schedule adjusted fantasy points to wide receivers, 28th in yards per attempt. And I'm going with DeAndre Hopkins against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yeah, I understand that Ryan Tanhill is probably the quarterback. But here's the thing. The Jags 23rd in schedule adjusted fantasy points to the wide receivers. And schmoney. Follow that schmoney.
49 yards to get a million bucks. Kachim. Thank you. He needs seven receptions for another $250,000. I imagine at the very least he will get the 49 yards for a million. The Andre Hopkins, another one of those receivers who will be in the huddle going. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, Tanny. Come on. Come on. I'll cut you off some of this cash. I'll give you 50K for seven receptions. I mean, that's just a good business. Who doesn't do that? I would do that. I mean, your team is playing for nothing. Yeah. And you're like, you're like, okay, we got another run to Derek Henry. And then Hopkins just pulls out of Benjamin. No, we don't. Ryan Sandhill, I think we got a target coming my way. He's got the hand warmer on front. It's just stuffed with bills. Just like, here you go. Oh, oh, oh, Ryan, did you drop that? Just that your stack of money? Tuck that into your belt line there. Because I think you said a screen pass to DeAndre Hopkins, right? Yeah.
Right? So, yeah. Once again, the headset has gone out on Ryan Tannahill. It's every play. Tanahill. Can't hear you. Can't hear you. Screened hop. I like it. Follow that. Follow that shmoney. My tight end start of the week is Dallas Goddard at the New York Giants. The last two weeks is the tight end 10 and the tight end four. He actually leads the Eagles in targets per route run over the last three weeks ahead of A.J. Brown, ahead of Devante Smith. And He's an integral part of this offense. The Giants have been torched by tight ends the last three weeks, including Dallas Goddard, who had seven for 71 on nine targets in week 16. And I'm going to chase in another incentive. Dalton Schultz taking on the Colts, the tight end from the Houston Texans. He needs four receptions to hit a $250,000 incentive. And it's not like he's a bad play. He's the tight end 10 on the season. He's averaging nearly six targets a game last week.
Against Tennessee was a pretty big bummer. But if you made it through and you have Dalton Schultz, I think that they will make sure he gets at least four catches. And if he gets four catches, that should be at least 50, 60 yards. And you'll take that from your tight end, especially if you're at that range. Yeah, and we've seen with Stroud him have plenty of big teams. All right. That's going to do it for the first part of the breakdowns. We made it through, Jason. Tomorrow our special episode.
