THE UNOFFICIALFOOTBALLERSFAN ARCHIVE↗Transcript links use the exact YouTube video’s clock. Machine transcripts can contain errors.
The opening ritual barely survives when a host forgets his normal welcome while anticipating Mike's Football Time cue and almost replaces the setup with 'ah, it's football time.' The desk immediately reconstructs the missing vowels and labels the near miss a problem.
The hosts remember the Mike's Gripes hashtag and explain that Mike filled ordinary Slack channels with so many complaints that the company made him a special one. Mike calls the posts observations; the desk settles on negative observations and immediately cites open-air stadiums.
Breece Hall's limited practice creates a possible Israel Abanikanda opening. Jason answers an 'Is it time, Jay?' prompt, the desk fires 'Bannacana don't want none,' and someone immediately promises the drop will never be used again.
The hosts say Kyle Pitts has hit waivers in their 14-team, double-flex Listener League. Even though everybody is gone from that player pool, Pitts remains available because the desk calls him useless, then discusses his lingering injury and dynasty future.
Jason first calls Moss 'my guy,' then makes him a Start of the Week and says he has always been a known Moss supporter, a Moss truther who never wavered, and one of the best running backs ever. He adds Zach Boss before another host plainly says Jason is pretending to have liked him all year.
The serialized Boom Boom Kicker continues after a Megalodon bites the plane's rear: Jason parachutes with Brandon McManus, his windblown exposed shape resembles Winnie the Pooh, a newly released weather balloon becomes his ride, and he lands before Younghoe Koo. A host says Owl thought Jason was the balloon. The published bumper supplies a green battlefield, winged football, helmeted Jason composite, cannons, explosions, giant boot/creature image, and exact title, while live Jason receives blue lighting; none of the narrated plane, shark, parachute, Pooh body, balloon, McManus, or Koo is actually shown.
Kyle is put 'on the line' for Atlanta beat-writer context and Owl is credited with thinking Pooh-like Jason was the balloon. Targeted one-second checks of both passages stay on the live three-host desk, and unlabeled turns do not safely establish a distinct Kyle or Jeremy voice.
Complete published-video review shows Andy at left in a blue hoodie and dark teal cap, Jason centered in a black cap, black-framed glasses, and black T-shirt, and Mike at right in a navy T-shirt and bright orange cap. No fourth person or live producer-booth shot appears. The opening nearly breaks its Football Time rhythm when a host forgets the normal lead-in and almost says 'ah, it's football time.' The desk remembers that Mike's complaints once filled so many company Slack channels that he received a dedicated Mike's Gripes channel; Mike insists they are observations, and the others refine that to negative observations. An Israel Abanikanda injury contingency triggers 'Bannacana don't want none,' immediately followed by a promise never to use the drop again. In the 14-team, double-flex Listener League, where the hosts say everybody is gone, Kyle Pitts is nevertheless sitting on waivers because he is useless. Kyle is put 'on the line' for Atlanta beat-writer injury talk, but targeted one-second video remains on the three hosts and the unlabeled transcript does not safely establish a distinct Kyle reply. Jason repeatedly calls Zach Moss his guy, a league winner, Zach Boss, and the best running back of all time while claiming he has always been a known Moss supporter and truther who never wavered; the exaggeration continues the accepted joke that contradicts his earlier hatred and $15 League of Record overbid. Jason's produced Boom Boom package visibly supplies a green battlefield, winged football, helmeted/knight composite, cannons, explosions, a giant boot/creature image, and the full IRONCLAD LOCKED & LOADED 100% GUARANTEED title; the rear studio monitor reads BOOM BOOM and Jason's live solo shot receives dark-blue theatrical lighting. His verse continues last week's Megalodon cliffhanger: the shark bit the plane's rear, Jason parachutes with McManus, resembles Winnie the Pooh, catches a weather balloon, and lands before Younghoe Koo. These are narration and animation, not live props, costumes, or stunts. A host reports that Owl thought Jason was the balloon, but the camera remains on the three-host desk and no distinct Jeremy voice can be proven. Two isolated 'Jay' forms occur while Jason is visibly present—'Is it time, Jay?' before the Abanikanda answer and 'Thanks, Jay' near the close—and neither supplies Jay Griz evidence.
And I think Brandon Ayyuk with my Purdy stack will be great against Philly this week. I'm going Josh Downs against Tennessee. Let's not ignore 13 targets last week. They play fast. They throw the ball to a consolidated couple of wide receivers. It's Pittman, it's Downs. If you're in a PPR league, I think Downs might end up a league winner this year. And Tennessee is tremendously bad against the past. Their bottom five. And this was even with Carolina struggling against them. I love Josh Downs this week. Yeah, I think Josh Downs is a great play. But just for the record, if you had Michael Pittman or Josh Downs, who would you? Pittman. Okay, I'm just making sure real quick. Yeah. I'm going to go with Juan Johnson. That's my start of the week at the tight end position against Detroit. I loved Joanne last year. He got a broke out, had the seven touchdowns, ended up the tight end 11. We kind of ran over everything. Seven targets ran the most routes on the team.
and Detroit since week eight, allowing almost 27 points per game, which is 30th in the NFL since that time. He, with all the injuries for the Saints, Juan, should be in line for another big target share. My tight end start of the week is Evan Ingram versus Cincinnati. I love it. On Monday night football, the targets they keep piling up, just no touchdowns yet for good old Schmevin. He is fourth right now in targets per game with 7.2. He leads the Jaguars in targets and receptions versus zone coverage. Cincinnati runs zone a very nice 69% of the time. And they are dead last in schedule adjusted fancy points to tight ends. We've been targeting. You love those matches. I love those matchups. And Evan Ingram is talented. And they're, you know, a lot of times when these teams.
themselves are bringing up how long it's been since a player's gotten a touchdown. They're trying to force that issue. So Evan Ingram is going to be a must start this week. I think just about everybody. I think Evan Ingram is a great start this week. Like, uh, kind of guarantee we're talking about here. I wanted to make a touchdown guarantee. All right. But he only scored in three games last year. It's not his, this, uh, we're running out of games. That's true. That's true. So do you, this takes a lot of courage. Yes, I would start Evan Ingram over Pat Fryermuth. That's what you're getting at. Am I? I think so. That is my opponent's matchup. He has to make that decision. He could do whatever he wants. I just meant like you went out there and you just put the foot clan first. I did. Foot clan first. Jason Morris motto. This is what I meant yesterday. You were asking where it came from when we were talking about Calvin Ridley. It was because I knew I was going to say his teammate, Evan Ingram.
I would start him over Pat Fireman. David Najoku is my start of the week at the tight-in position. I traded for him at the deadline specifically for this matchup. You know, he's heavily involved. The Rams, they're dead last against the tight end over the last eight weeks. Najoku is a physical force. He's been the most reliable pass catcher. It could be DTR. It could be Flacco. I don't care. I mean, you're sitting there with an injured Amari Cooper and no one. I mean, Elijah Moore drops every other pass. And Cedric Tillman is just getting introduced to the offense. David Najoku's targets are out of this world. I love it. So I think this week is going to be great. All right. That is it for starters to the week. Thanks again to our sponsor, Purina Pro Plan Sport.

Jason Moore's Ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the week. Last week on the boom boom kicker, the megaladon bit the plains derrier, and now I'm parachuting with McManus. With wind blowing cheeks flapping. Soon I was unstrapping. Some say I looked like Winnie the Pooh. For a weather balloon became my ride. I landed truly mortified, face to face with Atlanta's Youngway Coo. What?
Where'd the balloon come from? Well, it was just in the air while I was falling in. So you landed on a weather balloon. Yeah, I mean, I got lucky. I thought those were way up in the sky. Well, eventually it took me up, but then, you know, it was on the way. It was on the way. Just released that. It was really lucky. And I was like, Winnie the Pooh, grabbing the balloon flying up. Oh, my gosh. Owl thought you were the balloon. Oh, thanks, buddy. That's kind. I would play Pat Fryermuth over Evan Ingram. Wow. Thanks, Jay. Young Wayku, huh? Young Wayku. All right. Tomorrow, what do we got going on? More matchups? The fantasy phase off with the Wheel of Shame. Bring it on. And more injury updates for you as you get ready for week 13. We're here to help. Let's get that Foot Clan title. So you can celebrate Pantsless like Winnie the Pooh running through the streets.
