Fantasy Football - Game Time & Liar Liar, Field Day! - Podcast for 2/26

Round three, the year of Mike is the title of this. Oh, it was a good year. Okay. Here's your three potential truths. Number one. Sometimes footballers are running late in the morning in which they publicly share in the company slack that were, quote, coming in hot. Yeah. That is the phrase we share. Since the beginning of the fantasy footballers podcast, Mike has... coming in hot more than Andy but fewer than Jason that's one that we're going to try to figure out if it's true so according to that Jason would be the most more than Andy but that would make Jason would be the latest man that would have been the way a normal person worded it yes okay like it could have been like Jason has the most that could have been like the truth but he's trying to frame it in the year of Mike very tricky number two during weeks one through 18 of the NFL season the word

quote, the word pants was mentioned more times on the podcast than the number of targets George Pickens had, which was 137. So did we say the word pants more than 137 times? Very possible. How do you know? I think he's scraping transcripts or something. Number three, Mike. I need to know if the drop counts as a mention. Never going back. I don't think it does. It does. It does. Yeah, it's got the word pants in it. That's fair. Number three, Mike gloriously rode CM&Bs on to a league of record championship this year. Coincidentally, their combined yards from scrimmage in their careers. Good night. Counting regular season and playoffs is the exact driving distance from Mike's house to the footballer studio. Please. That has to be true. It has to have aligned. So that would be their combined yards from scrimmage in their career.

counting regular season in playoffs, I feel like that one's true. He had to jackknit that thing together. Hard. I think that Mike is the most coming in hot. No, I think Jason is. Dang it. It's not me. I don't say coming in hot very much. I think that I might be coming in hot, but I don't say it as much as Jason does. So I feel like that's true. I'm going to say that the pants one is wrong. I don't think we said it. I'm on that one too. I don't think we said it 137. That's a lot of pants. See, that's what I was going to lock in too. Okay. No, you should. For the sake of, I can't. I mean, are you trying to tie. Got to play the game theory. Yeah. So for that reason, I'm going to say that Mike is the latest man of you three. Okay. And he's the one. Oh, he posted the chart. The coming in hot chart. That is the lie. Andy's actually coming hot more than Mike.

but jason is also the most oh so i got it i got it right for the wrong reason but i got it right interesting so it looks like mike and i were tied in coming in hot in 2024 but i had a couple but then i had a couple more in 2025 and jason is blowing us away i mean if you for the people that can't see this kyle has a line graph put this up on the screen can you get this on the screen for those watching uh not very easily though um yes you can okay i believe in you i'm on i'm gonna send you the i'll send you the the image all right and then you post this on the screen jason is coming in hot at a ratio of two to one to three to one minimal and i that's why i said i think his phrase man wait just so we which one is the uh oh there it is yeah there's the there's the chart

So are you telling me we never even used the language coming in hot before about 2021? That is correct. So we just started saying that became an excuse. And Mike, or no, I, I debuted that. You were the first in 2022. And then you got and then Jason's like, I love that phrase. I didn't know I could come in hot. Amazing. Amazing. Excellent work, Kyle. That didn't answer our question though, right? Yeah, it did. That's the lie. Yeah, because it's fewer. Oh, you're right. It's more, not more than Andy. So the pants one is true? 144 pants. 144 mentions of pants on the show. 145, baby. Incredible. And then of course, of course the CMC Jean one is true. I mean, that makes so much sense. Of course it's true. It had to, I mean, Jupiter had to align with Mars. Your season was just.

That was a good time, man. Yeah, I just, you should try it. Do you feel like, oh. Do you feel like you're going to have to pay for it? Do you know what I mean? Like everything lined up so much. Right, right, right, right. Will the, the creditors? Yeah, a pendulum swing of like you stub your toe 10 days in a row or something happens. Here's the thing. Yes, absolutely. Also, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. You don't even care. No, I don't. Take my life. Just give me that season. All right, we'll take another break. We'll be back with some questions. All right, we are going to jump into the mailbag. I feel like I'm supposed to thank Kyle for that segment. Kyle, how long did that take? Yeah. Yeah, how much did we pay for? How many hours did we pay for? You guys are out all, you know, last week. Okay. Right, but you were not.

which doesn't answer the question. Some of those do not take as long as you think. The Bijon CMC maybe took like 20 minutes. Okay. I mean, you were doing some. Don't you have some analytics too on the attendance record over? He's got everything, man. You want mighty ducks analytics? He's got them. He does have all the mighty ducks analytics. But you know like how many times we've done three man shows versus two men shows? How many times the bear's been on screen in 11 years? Are we going into year 12? Jason's stats are slipping recently, boys. Oh, are they? Oh. What trends can you share with us on the air? Because he's not here, so we don't care what you say about him. He's still coming in hot today. You have any hot stats you want to share? You can break in any time in Mailbag if you have a hot stat on Jason's on Jason's numbers. Jason's missed the fewest amount of shows out of anybody. All time? All time. That's not what I asked from you.

I want stats that make me look good. You said he's been slipping. That's the stuff we wanted to hear. I'll get you one later. Okay. All right. Into the mailbag we go. Mailbag. If you have a question, you can go to the website, the fantasy footballers.com. It's also where you can find the UDK. And click that submit a question button. Send us your question or dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. Let's kick it off with a voicemail question somebody sent in this week. Hi, Matt. I'm Los Angeles here. And I was wondering, if you guys were due the NFL Combine, which event would you be respectfully best at? Love the show. Well, I mean, there will not be a respectably part. So what would we perform best in relative to the NFL players or against each other? It just, you know, it's yourself. I mean, we did a Combine Challenge a really long time ago. Don't look it up.

Uh, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I don't think we did especially well at any of it. No, and we're now 10 years older. We did not. I mean, we're not fast. No. We're not strong compared to NFL players. Correct. Uh, we're not quick. No. Um, maybe the gauntlet, I could catch the ball in the gauntlet. Right. As long as you don't get in the face, you're okay. Right, right. There's a chance of that. Um. I'd like to see Al Borland do that one. Remember when I threw him that pass out here in the street? Then he fell. And then he fell down. I liked the part where he fell down. Yeah, that one's a truth. You remember that Al? I do. But in our flag football days. He's been wearing bottom. He's been wearing bottom ever since. No, flag football. A hundred percent catch. How many total catches do you think I threw to you? Or how many passes did I ever throw to you? Three. Three? Yeah. You think he doesn't know? I caught them all. Man.

How hard was it? Don't worry about the one where I ran the wrong way after catch. Did you? Yes. How? Did you get spun around? Our first season. Oh, incredible. Oh, the first season. Yeah, my bearings were all off. This week without Jason has just focused on Bodman over there. Yes. I mean, it was like a checkdown. It wasn't like a designed play for me. And you just tossed it to me and I just ran the wrong way. I have no memory of this. Oh, that's amazing. Fantastic. Um, Yeah, I guess I'll go gauntlet. I feel like I can catch it. So we'll see. I don't know. Mike, you're going to do the vertical? No, vert. Verde has never, broad jump I've always been okay. Wonderlick? Oh, please. I mean, I don't know what's that. Not on the medicine you're on now. No, no, no, no. He's the one on the Wonderlich right now. Well, I'll probably still beat Stroud, right? He was the one who had the massive failure. Yeah, he was the one that had the failure and then dominated as a rookie. Yeah. And we were like, oh, great. Yeah.

Maybe it matters. I don't know. Jason, you can give him some bench press, I guess. See what he held. Can he bench 225 though? Probably not. No, none of us can bench 225. No, I don't think so. No, I don't think we can get one. We will die. I don't think we could get one. Maybe. You want to try that one out on our list of challenges? That's, I feel like you. Did you see the kid? If you're wrong and you can't bent, you can't get up one rep? You're going to hurt yourself. Did you see the kid, the 14-year-old kid who just dropped 450 on his chest? What? This is going around right now. He actually had to come out and talk about it. He's alive? He's alive. The freeze frame of the bar and how far depressed his chest is when it lands. He had three useless spotters. Why are we letting 14-year-olds bench that much? We shouldn't be.

But yeah, you had a spotter, you know, the normal like the set spotter behind and one on each side and all three of them were you did nothing. What? He instantaneously dropped the bar. Thank goodness he's alive. Didn't break anything somehow. I guess at 14 you're gumby. Your bones are gumby. But no, that was interesting. That was insane. Jeremy does want to let people know he couldn't. He's confident he can get at least one. I'd like to know. I just wanted to let you know that. I'd like to know. Thank you for letting them know. We should. Is that because of the really ripped abs?

That's right. Couple squirts of that. He sprays right before the lift. It's my free work out. Is he like your spinach? Yeah. It's like you power up like Popeye. It's only he only sprays him right there. Sraise it right onto the app. Just get so ripped. Teddy writes in any year three breakout predictions. Oh, like someone who's going to jump into the top three? Yeah. Any year three breakout predictions. That's the Marvin Harrison Jr. Neighbors class. Oh. So next year we'll be year three for Neighbors and Marvin. Man. I mean, Neighbors is a little too. Neighbors needs to be healthy. I mean, I feel like he's already broken out too. He has, but he needs to be. If he's healthy, he's just, he's going to dominate. We got the big year from BTJ and Ladd already. Kim Coleman, not predicting that one. No. I do not have a prediction for that.

Oh, no, I do. Trey Benson. Yeah, I don't know what Arizona is doing. I don't either. That's the end of the sentence. I don't think they know what they're doing. President and owner Michael Bidwell has no idea what he's doing. Yeah, not just owner. Presidents and owner. Oh, Kyle's reminding him of Ben Senate, maybe. But I think that I think James Connor will be gone. I think they'll just. decide to clear house, not that he can't play. Connor. Conner's a goner? Connor, oh, nice. Connor could go somewhere and still be very productive, but I think that they will probably move on. There was chatter of the Cardinals being linked to Breece Hall, which obviously that can't happen. The Jets shut that down so quick. It could theoretically happen if they transition tag him because then Bruce Hall can go get offers and the Jets just have the right to match it. I don't know.

I still believe in Trey Benson as a player who just really hasn't had his opportunity yet. We'll get to see Jonathan Brooks back out on the field, hopefully next year. Blake Corum is a player that can come into the conversation as one that's. Braylon Allen, if Brees leave. Sure. If Brees leaves. Yeah, I'm not sure that he's. Do we get Pearsall for more than a game of consistency? That would be another name with them not having wide receivers. There you go. All right. Warren writes in from. X is Caleb Williams, the top tier quarterback next year. He had the high-end finishes this year, five games of 24 plus points. He had the big playoff performances that I think impressed a lot of people. He has a slew of weapons that we love, Luther Burden. Yes. Mr. Loveland. That would be, you know, enrollment. Is he a top tier? What does that qualify us? Top six?

Yeah, I mean, just a guy you're playing, a difference maker every single week. I don't believe that right now. I don't think so either. We got to fix that completion percentage. We have, what, 58% wasn't really that bad? I always forget how bad it was. 58% completion percentage. That is. That's not good enough. That's not good enough. No, that'll, that number will come to bear over time. So I would say as of right now, no, but he's mobile. I mean, he's. He is unbelievably athletic. Yeah, he does some. He's so fast. He does some crazy stuff. He kind of reminds me sometimes of Steve McNair escape is, you know, being able to escape in the pocket. Mr. Ugly Parr writes in on Instagram. Okay. Who in the office throws the football the best? That's Andy. Andy was the quarterback on the flag football team. Yeah, that flag football team. And he was the quarterback because he could throw the ball the best. Yeah, that was hell.

A plus B there. And I could throw it the very best with my 100% completion rate. Yeah. How much offense did you ever play, Al? I played O-line quite a bit. Did you? Yeah. I couldn't remember. And those were good old days. Good old days. Lots of surgeries. Lots of surgeries from those days. Most of them by Papa Josh. Papa Josh, two ACL tears? Yep. And a toe surgery. And you repaired how many of the ACL? Just one. Okay. All right. So you gave up after the first surgery, right? No, I had the first surgery. Came back and then blew it out again. Yeah. Yeah. That's what giving up after the first surgery means. Yeah, I left it all on the field. My ACL's still there. You did. And we won our one championship. All right. Mario in Mexico, Buenos Dias, Foot Clan leaders. I'd like to submit a formal request for Jason to host the show. Oh. I'm sure it would be a lot of fun.

for who to find fun and define it would be fun it would be fun it would be something he would be just fine yeah um all right uh youtube question what do you value more your internal scouting or how the NFL values a player aka their draft capital especially when they are very very different um when they're when they're very different i do tend to let the draft capital change I mean, it's not changing my opinion, but it's changing what I believe their outcome are or what the outcome could be. The NFL gets a lot of things right. Obviously not every time because we just had Camp Scataboo, which was the declaration for me was until the NFL tells me that that Cam Scadaboo is not the guy, I believe he is. Then he went in the fourth round. That draft capital says he can't be it, but he was immediately. So.

I mean, it is the year of Mike. I think some of your stuff in that department worked out pretty well. I mean, Trayvion as well went much later than people expected. They thought maybe Chicago would take him really early in the draft. He, you know, I don't know what we call Trayvion right now. I don't think we call him like this. It was, I don't know if he came through for his draft, his ADP in fantasy football. What do you see moving forward? Like if you just have to throw out a number for Trayvon next year, it's February, you've got to throw out a redraft number for Trayvon. I don't have a great conviction about this. It was a special year for New England. Their schedule was very easy. They have a shared backfield. I think he improves in year two. What was his fantasy finish this year? Kyle. Do you know that off the top of your head? I'm guessing 20. Trayvion Henderson finished as the running back 19. Okay.

So, but like really, but I feel like 16 is maybe where I'd throw them right now. Yeah, right around a top 15 guy. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, I, one last reminder here. Ultimate draft kit.com. This is our last chance before March 1st, which I believe is Sunday. I think it's Sunday. Is that right? Um, that is correct. Last chance, Ultimate draft kit.com. If you want a chance to play in the listener league and get a spot there. Um, we are going to say goodbye. That is the end of this show. We're going to let Mike. Get better. Back to bed. We'll be back to full strength, hopefully, next week. And we appreciate all of you listening here in February. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
