The yacht is a wheel-less RV marooned in the desert

The hosts say their season reward was a yacht, then define it as an RV that sits in the desert after they removed its wheels and painted YACHT across the back. Complete video review never shows the vehicle, so every physical specification remains spoken canon rather than a verified prop.

moment

The cast-iron Footie opens the annual public ballot

A large cast-iron Footie sits physically on the desk as the hosts explain their yearly nominee, listener-vote, and winner-announcement cycle. When the ceremony starts, an ornate FOOTIE AWARDS lower third overlays the live desk and prompts a Disney-ride comparison, but there is no full-screen ride or award-show costume.

moment

Kyle feels valued when Borg and Betts work becomes free

The hosts praise the Borg and Betts DFS Pass, then mock-value the crew by giving all of its playoff work away free. Asked how he feels, Kyle answers, 'I feel valued,' and says he likes listeners receiving it. Word-level alignment and the exact camera cut identify Kyle speaking live at the center Deucers Alley seat; Betz is only named.

moment

The Foot Clan Playoff Challenge rewards survival

The hosts invite the Foot Clan into their free annual playoff challenge: select a player at every position, then earn multipliers according to how long each player survives and what he scores in later rounds. They direct listeners to FootClanChallenge.com.

moment

A silent Deucers Alley quiz contrasts with Kyle's live lookup

The hosts look toward Deucers Alley and complain that nobody has Bill Belichick's coaching career memorized; targeted audio and video supply no distinct producer reply. Later, a Christian Kirk incentive question is directed to Kyle, who says, 'I'll look it up,' exactly as video cuts to him speaking at the center booth seat.

moment

Big Boy Pants receives its verified green DUDS stinger

The phrase 'Pooped in His Big Boy Pants' launches a full-screen green DUDS animation with close-up and full-body host images, large white title text, and a final brown-gray splash texture before returning to the desk.

moment

Allen Robinson refills the Poopiest Pants award

The Poopiest Pants slate asks who has the fullest trousers, then reveals that prior winner Allen Robinson has qualified again. The hosts say they washed his pants and filled the back, explain that winners normally cannot receive clean replacements, and imagine the Rams buying pristine white freshly ironed trousers that are immediately no longer pristine.

moment

The fake Breece Lightning drop hurts Mike's feelings

Mike claims Breece Hall as his Footie vote, then becomes excited when told a Breece Lightning drop exists. An unidentified nonverbal prank cue plays instead; Mike calls it a low blow, says it hurt his feelings, admits his goldfish memory made him believe he had forgotten a real drop, and calls the cue insulting. Direct video verifies Mike's reaction but no Breece overlay.

moment

Nickname of the Year becomes the ballot's meat and potatoes

The hosts call Nickname of the Year one of the most important Footies, recall the prior Pat Freiermuth winner in a transcript-corrupted rendering, and read a 2022 slate including the Dump Truck, Breece Lightning, a long Cole Kmet health instruction, Voldemort, the Spot Start, Schmevin Schmingram, the 12th Man, and the Awful Tower.

moment

Brooks confirms and curates the Show Moment ballot

The Show Moment of the Year slate revisits Andy's illness voice crack, the Al Borland gym insult, Catch Child, Zay Jones weather, P.P.R. scoring, the Mac Jones surgery joke, Andy's Kyle Pitts breakdown, Jason's positive boat-fire talk, and Jason using Antonio Gibson statistics in a Terry McLaurin discussion. Brooks answers 'Yes, sir' when asked whether clips are embedded and 'Thanks, sir' when praised for the selection process.

moment

Kyle fills missing-host Faceoff lineups and Al rides along

After Andy says he missed Friday, the hosts explain that a missing host lets Kyle build one Fantasy Faceoff lineup and that Al Borland rides with Kyle because Kyle is good at DFS. This particular Kyle-Al lineup loses the comparison, with Jonathan Williams over original Nasty Boy Jared Patterson singled out as the disrespectful choice.

summary

Episode notes

Complete video review shows Mike left in a white graphic T-shirt and teal cap, Jason centered in a dark collared shirt and glasses, and Andy right in a black T-shirt and gray cap. A large brown cast-iron Footie stands at their ordinary desk nearly throughout. The prerecorded WITH THE DUCERS card labels Brooks/Judge Giamatti, Jeremy/Owl Borland, and Kyle/The Borgogon. Live booth cuts establish Brooks left in a dark cap and gray jacket, Kyle center in a backward cap and red cardigan, and Jeremy right in a dark cap and gray T-shirt, all behind monitors with headset microphones. The show's season-reward yacht is defined as a desert RV whose wheels were removed before YACHT was painted on the back; no vehicle appears. The annual Footie ritual displays the physical award, sends listeners to FootieAwards.com, and promises winners the following week. Kyle and Matthew Betz's DFS Pass becomes free for the playoffs; Kyle visibly answers from the center booth seat, 'I feel valued,' and says he likes listeners receiving it. An earlier Belichick-career challenge to all of Deucers Alley gets no distinct reply, while a Christian Kirk incentive question cuts precisely to Kyle saying, 'I'll look it up.' The free annual Foot Clan Playoff Challenge asks listeners to choose every position and earn later-round survival multipliers. The green POOPED IN HIS BIG BOY PANTS DUDS stinger is directly visible with all three host portraits and a brown-gray splash. The Poopiest Pants ballot has Allen Robinson qualify again after winning the prior year; the hosts say they washed and refilled his pants, then imagine the Rams buying pristine white replacements that immediately become unclean. Nickname of the Year includes the Dump Truck, Breece Lightning, a long Cole Kmet health instruction, Voldemort, the Spot Start, Schmevin Schmingram, the 12th Man, and the Awful Tower. Mike expects a remembered Breece Lightning drop, but an unidentified nonverbal prank cue plays instead; targeted video attributes the hurt-feelings reaction to Mike and shows no graphic. Show Moment of the Year recalls Andy's voice crack, the Al Borland gym insult, Catch Child, Zay Jones weather, P.P.R. scoring, the Mac Jones surgery joke, Andy's Kyle Pitts breakdown, Jason's positive boat fire, and his wrong-player Antonio Gibson interruption. Brooks answers 'Yes, sir' about ballot clips and 'Thanks, sir' after praise; both exact response shots remain on the hosts, although other cuts prove he is live at the left booth seat. Finally, a missing host lets Kyle build a Fantasy Faceoff lineup and Al Borland rides with it; their Jonathan Williams choice loses against original Nasty Boy Jared Patterson. No Listener League or Megalabowl result appears. No Jay Griz name, voice, cutout, cue, prop, costume, or substitution occurs; the routine opening bear is unrelated stock imagery.

Inside the episode

28:03 ↗

All right, wide receiver studs. Keenan Allen keeps getting it done. Eight for 102 and two. Devante Parker, a couple of touchdowns. Jerry Judy, five for 154. Definitely been their best receiver this year. You've seen kind of a consistent, he's at the top of that mountain. Stefan Diggs back in the end zone. Brandon Cooks back into the end zone. Brandon Cooks and Lovy Smith leaving together. Just giving that number one salute. Number one. Christian Kirk back for six for 99. I think Christian Kirk needed like, do you know this number, Kyle? He had an incentive. Did he end up short? He had an incentive and I think it was 100 and something. Like 103. I'll look it up. Yeah, he was close to it. I think he missed the incentive by like four or five yards. What? I could be wrong. You got to feed the man. Six for 99. Well, they were. People brought that up in the in the like prop betting world.

28:58 ↗

about like guys with incentives this week and highlighting them. And I agreed with it on certain players on teams with inconsequential games. But when you're in the middle of a battle with Tennessee that goes to the wire, I can't help but think nobody's paying attention to that at the end of that game. It's get a first down. I don't, I agree with that. But Christian Kirk, big game, Jamar Chase, eight for 86 and a touchdown. Oh, it was total catches? Incentives for a thousand years. Okay. No, he hit, well, he had 1100 yards and he hit 80 plus catches. I don't know what he was short on. But Drake London, love it. Six for one, 20, maybe a little spark heading into next year. Yeah, this is, this is great news for Drake London managers and bad news for those who were trying to target trading for Drake London on the cheap because, you know, what I saw in the beginning of the year was enough for me to decide I want to go after him.

29:54 ↗

I had a note written down to try to make some offseason trade offers for him. And I was really disappointed how good he did at the end of this year because I don't have him in any of my dynasty leagues and I'd like him because he's going to be great. George Pickens, three for 72. That's kind of like if you had to pick a default George Pickens best case scenario stat line, three for 72 and a touchdown feels like George Pickens. And then you had George Kittle. Six targets, four for 29 and two. With Brock Purdy, George Kittle is unlocked. Isaiah likely, eight for 103 in Mark Andrews absence. Yeah, I mean, that offense runs through the tight end position. You know, I've said this for Dynasty Leagues. I tried this in my own where I've got Mark Andrews. It feels like if you're the Mark Andrews manager, you have to go out and trade for Isaiah likely because then your tight end is secure. And then chicky, chicky, bang.

30:50 ↗

Yeah. Three for 42 and a touchdown. Conquo, baby. He's a good player, man. Yeah. Passing that eye test every week. It was pretty funny during the game. He was finally getting highlighted, I think, by Aikman. And they're, because they lined him up at fullback. And he made the block. Like, he did everything right because he sprung, he sprung the running back. But he also got blowed up. on this play. Like, he got annihilated. And Aikman's like, he's doing everything on the field. I'm like, yeah, but he's on the ground. Like, that's not the player where you want to celebrate Oconquo. What is your Akeman, Joe Buck, like? My sentiment? Yeah. I mean, they're, they're fine. Fine, Jason. I think they are better than vanilla, but they're not, you know, one of my favorites. I used to be a pretty big fan, but it's faded in recent years.

31:42 ↗

Well, because now you have a taste of like there's other guys. That's probably it. Like you get, you get to hear Romo do a couple games. You go, well, this is fantastic. What happened to the other people? It's like when they only have vanilla and chocolate and then somebody made the swirl and the swirl seemed the best, but then someone made more flavors. Yes, exactly. I heard. I could put sprinkles on this thing. I heard Troy Aikman make a comment in that Jacksonville game about how like all season long Marvin Jones has been by far his most trusted receiver. What? And I was like, you haven't watched the Jaguars at all. Was it, who did the, who did the commentary when we had the, the one player, a fan take the, the, the field? Oh, that was so good. Um, it was a Harlan.

32:29 ↗

Yes, it was. That came, I'm bringing that up. Somehow my son found this video and he's just walking around the house. This man is drunk, but there he goes. Your son is saying that? He found the highlight. And so then I had to watch it again. And it is this whole, this whole period of him commentating on the fan running across the field is so good. I think Harlan was also the one that did the cat. Was he? I think so. It was either him or an eagle. When the cat was running across the field. I just rewatched the, you remember the malice at the palace? Yes. Yeah. You don't know what I'm talking about, Jason? That's the Pacers, right? The Pacers and the pistons up in the stance. We watched that whole scene with the commentary because these guys, what are you going to say? And it was Bill Walton. Bill Walton was in on that. So it was a blast from the past. Don't bring him back, by the way. Bill Walton? No, he stunk. All right.

33:24 ↗

Now that we're done with the commentator part of the show, into the duds. Poopped in his big boy pants. All right. Well, Jalen Hertz, he may have been someone you could ride all season long, but if you played through week 18, he let you down, no touchdowns. Hopefully you didn't have any of your starting quarterbacks. What do you mean? For fantasy football. If you had Joe Burrow, if you had Trevor Lawrence, if you had Dak Prescott, if you had Patrick Mahomes. Even Jared Goff, yeah. I mean, it's just all the good quarterbacks really let you down outside of Josh Allen. Yeah, it's true because week 18, people. Make your change. Now's the time. Now is the time. Now is when people will be really upset. And so make the change to week 17.

34:17 ↗

We got to get that 4.9% number down. Running back duds, guess what? Studs from the year like Zeke and Pollard and Dalvin Cook and ETN and Josh Jacobs and Aaron Jones and Austin Eckler. Yeah, all the good players. So it was tough. You know, I saw my sister, her league, first season playing. Two-week championship goes to week 18. They had her sending me screenshots throughout the day. How's your matchup doing? I mean, it is single digits versus single digits. It's all these stars scoring very little points. And like the winning margin was just almost nothing because nobody did anything. Yeah. I mean, half of these games don't matter. A quarter of these games have people playing a portion of the game and then resting. It's just it's not, you know, I mean, there's a few games where they're going at it. But that's just not what we want for fantasy.

35:16 ↗

Or for any? Yeah, no, no question. Justin Jefferson didn't get the record, obviously. Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle didn't do anything. You know, nice to see the sophomore season for Alman Ross St. Brown. You know, in terms of his involvement in the offense, he took the last half of last year and this year, and he's been become a real PPR force. You saw T. Higgins one catch. Saw T. Higgins with as many yards as he had targets. Seven targets for one catch. It's kind of wild. Debo. You know, Debo will be an interesting name going into next year. Who's the quarterback? What's the situation? Are they coming off a Super Bowl appearance? The quarterback, I do not envy what the 49ers are going to have to do. You literally have like three viable options at least. Well, Garoppolo is not under contract, I believe. I think he was a one year. So, I mean, the fact that, and Brock Purdy is playing very well. But again, let's see how, let's see how he does in a playoff scenario against.

36:15 ↗

a true top team and in that type of an atmosphere. But if Brock Purdy has any kind of success, and then you have the number three overall pick who really has seen no game action for your team. So you just, you don't know. That's going to be a very difficult thing to get through. Yeah, you could go into the season with the hope of Trey Lance and the backup of Purdy. Yeah, I think that's what it will be. My guess is that they'll go to Trey Lance. That's who they want. That's my full expectation, almost regardless of what happens. The only, like if they get to the Super Bowl and lose, I think it's no question Trey Lance is a starter next year. The only question is if they win the Super Bowl. Right. If they win the Super Bowl with Brock Birdie, I mean, like, well, I think it'll legitimately come down to.

37:10 ↗

Was it because of Brock Purdy or is it with Brock Purdy? Yeah, that's fair. It wasn't, you know, Nick Foles won a Super Bowl and then they balled out. Yeah, he did. But then they went back to wins. Yeah. Yeah, that's your best example, especially with the draft capital situation. But yeah, the wide receivers, much the same situation. Not a lot of good performers, good performances. Jay Jones, Hollywood, DJ Moore, blah, blah, blah. Kelsey 6 for 38 to finish the season. Darren Waller 2 for 35. Deontay, when I was watching it, I believe he almost scored. Oh, he had, he was wide open, massive like 40-yard reception. He's running. I'm watching over the corner. I'm like, oh my gosh, he's not going to finish the season without a touchdown. Tackled at the one-yard line. Oh, that was, that was brutal. Yeah.

38:02 ↗

Yeah, and then Schmevin finished the year, four for 27. Come on, Schmevin. The doctor, a disappointing week. Taysam Hill, not as many opportunities this week. And I think I'm going to stop talking about the duds. And we're going to get into the footy nominations because. Oh, here we go. Oh, do I feel like I was on a Disney ride right there. The 20, 22 footy nominations coming your way. And I think we're going to do this. I think we'll take turns. You're going to break down each category. Oh, man. Take turns. I know. You could have just kept playing it. By the way, footy awards.com is where you go to vote. Vote before next Monday, and we will announce the winners on next Tuesday's show. Performance of the year is our number one first category. Which single week performance was the most impressive this year? Last year, the winner was Jamar Chase in week 17, where he put up a measly 50.1 points on three.

39:04 ↗

touchdowns, 266 yards. This year's nominees, Tua, Tanga Vailoa in week two, had that monster six touchdown performance. Justin Fields in week nine, went for 42 fantasy points. This was kind of a huge breakout, 178 on the ground. Joe Mixen had his ridiculous five touchdowns against yours truly in week nine as well. Josh Jacobs, week 12, 45 fantasy points, 229 and two on the ground. Evans, Jason's favorite performance of all time. Week 17, 43 fantasy points on 12 targets. That performance, week 17, three touchdowns, 200 yards, makes me realize just how good last year's Jamar Chase was. Yes. Because he was like another touchdown more of value. And then Stefan Diggs in week two had 38 fantasy points on 15 targets, 148 and 3. And T.J. Hawkinson.

40:00 ↗

in week four, put up almost 36 fantasy points. Oh, the Hawkinson. And that was when he was in, in Detroit. Yes. And I actually, I actually think that T.J. Hawkinson, the performance he had in the playoffs was extremely impactful because he was up over, right around 30 points in that one as well. So Hawkinson making a couple of burst appearances. He did have a couple big ones. The next category is the Fantasy Reaper's Man of the Year. Which painful injury hurt fantasy managers the most? Of course, last year was Christian McCaffrey. He, you know, missed pretty much everything. This year, you have Giovante Williams. Oh, man. Keenan Allen. I almost forgot about Giovante. I know. It was so early. Darren Waller, Cooper Cup, Jonathan Taylor, and my man, Breeze Hall.

40:56 ↗

That one hurt. They all hurt. It's funny because these really truly are almost, we're going to find out who people drafted the most because they hurt and they are personal when, you know, if you had Cooper Cup and he was, I mean, he was the number one wide receiver by far. And then you lose him, you know which one of these hurt you the most. For me, it was Bruce Hall because I had him everywhere. So let's find out who let you down. Yeah. Some of these guys definitely did. Our next category, the poopiest pants award. Who has the fullest trousers? Yes. I think the, we all, we all voted. And I think we were very split here on who actually has the poopiest pants. But we have Justin Herbert drafted as the quarterback three. Russell Wilson. The 12th man drafted as the QB8.

41:50 ↗

Jonathan Taylor drafted as the first player overall. Alvin Camara, RB8, Debo Samuel, wide receiver 8. DJ Moore. He can poop his pants no matter where he is. DJ Moore's in this category every single year. Yeah, but he hasn't, he didn't, he doesn't have the chance to win it back to back years. Uh, at the wide receiver 14. Alan Robinson wide receiver 22 and Kyle Pitts back of the third, tight end. I was laughing at this when you started reading because I did not realize that last year's winner was Alan Robinson. Was it real? Oh, it was! He was! He won the footy for poopiest pants and his back qualified for this again. It's absolutely incredible. We washed his pants out. We filled the back.

42:39 ↗

He got to go to the pants store and when you win this award, usually you're not allowed to have new clean pants. But then the Rams buy you new pants. Oh, the Rams bought them a sweet pair. They were white. They were white. Just pristine. Oh, man. Freshly ironed. Not anymore. The way. Another doo-do. All right. Next award, the waiver wire wonder. Looking at which undrafted Waverwire stud was the best signing of the 2022 season. Last year, Cordell Patterson won this award. This year some good contenders, yet again, Jerich McKinnett, who six straight games down the stretch with a touchdown. Zay Jones, he was called the Spot Start. Christian Watson from heralded rookie to nothing to, oh, that's why. Justin Fields and Gino Smith.

43:31 ↗

who, you know, both of those guys contributed in a big way. Yeah, they were both awesome fantasy quarterbacks. Speaking of awesome fantasy quarterbacks, we're going to talk about the fantasy quarterback of the year. This is, you know, you factor in where they were drafted, their big important performances and everything combined. Do you think that the best fantasy quarterback this year, not just who scored the most points? Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hertz, and Justin. field. So you either are voting for someone that starts with a J or Patrick Mahomes. Last year was Tom Brady. That is true. Yeah. Man, do you guys realize where Gino Smith finished? I'm going, I don't know for sure, but I'm going to guess he threw for 4,200 yards and 30 touchdown. I was going to guess quarterback seven. Five. At least that's what I'm seeing on our site. Wow. I mean, that's, that's wild.

44:30 ↗

It would not have been something that you could have stated without being thrown into an insane asylum before the year. They would have hauled any of us off if we had even hinted at top 10. Yeah, because he was the backup quarterback to Drew Locke. Well, I mean, that's how the off season would. That's the narrative of the off season, the trade, Drew Locke coming over for Russell Wilson. We didn't even expect it to be Gino until a couple weeks before the season. Then it was like, oh, he's won the job through camp and preseason. But I mean, would people have bet on Marioita or Gino Smith if they were heads up before the season? Marioita for sure. Wild, wild. So quite the performance. All right. The fantasy running back of the year. Is that where we are? Yes.

45:13 ↗

So the nominees are awesome, excellent, aka Austin Echler, Christian McCaffrey, Josh Jacobs, Sequin Barclay, Derek Henry, and Tony Pollard. Good nominees. Good luck. Last year was Jonathan Taylor. The fantasy wide receiver of the year, which Cooper Cup won last season, Jefferson, Tyreek, Jalen Waddle, Devante Adams, A.J. Brown, C.D. Lamb and Stefan Diggs. Your nominees for Fantasy Wide Receiver of the year. Yeah, at tight end, you've got Mike's favorite Tasem Hill. You've got Mike's favorite Evan Ingram. You got George Kittle, T.J. Hawkinson and Travis Kelsey. You know who I voted for. Voted with my heart. Last year's winner was Mark Andrews, who didn't really get it going this year. He lived up to it, man. To start the year, it seemed like he was a better pick than Kelsey and then the Lamar injury and then the...

46:11 ↗

Mark Andrew's injury, and he was kaput. The breakout player of the year, which player, you know, the fantasy football breakout of the year. Justin Fields, Trevor Lawrence, Tony Pollard, Remandre Stevenson, despite the end of the season, Devante Smith, and Ken Kenneth Walker. Ken Kenneth? I'm just, I don't know if it's Ken or I don't know if it's Kenneth. Debo Samuel won a last year. The breakout of the year. Is this a curse? You know, Debo, Debo season's so weird. It is. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was not, it was just there. Right? I mean, it wasn't like catastrophic injury destroyed him. It wasn't like his talent on the field when you watch with your eyeballs was somehow inferior. He missed four games, but you know, you think he missed more than that. He finishes the wide receiver 36 this year and just was, I mean, he was a massive disappointment for where he was drafted. And they went through three quarterbacks. So I think people factor that into the mental gymnastics as well.

47:18 ↗

Yeah, it was it was tough, weird season for him. He has not gotten as much shame as a lot of the other people that were drafted where he was and finished poorly. I haven't felt it. You know, what was he drafted as though? Wide Receiver 8, I think. Yeah. So that's part of it. Rookie of the year nominees. Last year, Jamar Chase took this footie home with him. And by home with him, I meant it was in the mail. He opened it. It was a package that arrived. He opened it up and set it on his mantle. They're arriving now.

47:47 ↗

Last I heard, they were just still in the mail. Yes, they did arrive yesterday. Nominees, Breece Hall. Oh, come on. Yeah. Come on. That's for me. He made the category. Oh, yeah, absolutely. He's, this is my vote. What? Damian Pierce, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, and Kenneth Walker. We had some good rookies this year. I mean, Garrett Wilson, Chris Olave, teammates in college, both coming into the NFL saying, I'm better. Noah, I'm better. And I don't know if you knew this, Jason, but a rookie has won that award every season. That is crazy. I wonder if one will win it this year. We shall find out. All right, comeback player of the year. Who shocked you? Who came back to relevance? Last year was James Connor. Had a great season when people didn't expect it. This year, do you think it's Saquan Barkley coming back to his old ways? Christian McCaffrey, back to health.

48:45 ↗

Jared Goff being good with the lions. You could have just being good. Right. And Evan Ingram, who has, you know, look, he's earned his full name, even for me and he's mouth. He was Evan Ingram, not just Schmevin Schmingram. All right, the steel of the draft. You may be Evan Schmingram. I might just, okay, that's fine. I'm halfway there. Warmer. Steel of the draft, these are always fun because this is what you're looking for in the draft. You want to crush your first picks, but you want to find. The value, the best value in your draft. Our nominees this year are Jalen Hertz, Joe Burrow, Josh Jacobs, Amari Cooper, Tyler Lockett, forever. He's probably in this category just eternally. Devante Smith and Travis Kelsey, despite the hefty 204. He earned his way into being one of the best picks of the draft. Yeah, Lockett the lowest ADP of that group at wide receiver 43.

49:42 ↗

Last year's winner. Yeah. Last year's winner was Debo. Wide receiver 34 in the seventh round. Is it back to me? It sure is. The Playoff King Award who drove fantasy managers to a championship during playoff weeks 15 through 17. Last year was Amon-Raw St. Brown, who had three top seven finishes. This year's contenders. It's a good group. Yes, it is. Austin Eccler finished RB 17, 4 and 1. Tyler Algier finished RB 23, 1, and 14. Algier got his thousand. Nice. Cam Acres, RB 23, 1 and 14. CD Lamb, wide receiver 12, 1 and 11. Devante Smith, wide receiver 15, 2 and 10. DJ Moore, wide receiver 13, 9, and 5. Can he be the playoff king? While wearing the boobiest bands. That would be the most DJ Moore thing ever.

50:39 ↗

Jerich McKinnon the RB 1, 21, and 6, and then George Kittle, the tight end won two and 12. Yeah, those guys won people some championships. I didn't see Mike Evans in there. I mean, you know, he sucked, sucked and was awesome. Like over the course of the three weeks of the playoffs. Actually, I believe it was sucked, awesome sucked. No, because he got the championship week. That's right. I had week 18 in my brain. My apologies. But I mean, you know. He was, what was he? Which he also sucked. Weeks 14 or 15 through 17. I think he was the wide receiver two, right? Yeah. So he was great. He should be in this. I stand opposed to this list. Uh, the nickname of the year. We're getting into the real meat and potatoes here. The most important, uh, couple of awards that will go out last year. The, the mute got loose. Uh, for Pat Friar Mew. This year, not luth enough this year. Yeah. This year we got the dump truck.

51:33 ↗

Dems like a truck. Trump, truck. Leading the voters. Leonard for Net. I mean, he's got to, he's got a drop. I got to hit it. Breece Lightning for Breece Hall. You got a drop for that. Oh, you do? Oh. Wow. That's a. That's a low blow. Wow, that let me down, and that hurt my feelings. Did you think there was a drop that you forgot about? I honestly did because I'm a goldfish, and I was really excited to remember our drop for Breece Lightning. That wasn't very nice. No, and it was insulting, too, because he's faster than that born. Get healthy. Yeah, and get there fast and then take it slow with Colcomo for Colcomette.

52:17 ↗

You also have he who shall not be named Voldemort. Yes. For Deshawn Watson. The spot start in Zay Jones, Schmevin Schmingram. I'll let you figure out who that is.
