2019 Footie Winners! + Beat The Ballers & Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast

It's funny, I would have said Devante Parker, and none of us were right with 19%. Oh, Godwin? It is Chris Godwin. Yeah, okay. Congrats, Lamar. We'll send your pallet full of trophies in the mail very soon. Send it by freight. All right, rookie of the year. Which player was Fantasy Football's rookie of the year? This is a very competitive category as well. Josh Jacobs, A.J. Brown, Kyler Murray, Miles Sanders, Terry McLaurin, David Montgomery, D.K. Metcalfe, Debo, Samuel.

It's kind of neat to read all those names and see how many, you know, you get into draft season. You get into, like you've been talking, Mike, all the keeper picks or draft picks that you've got in your Dynasty League. Look how many players contributed for fantasy owners as rookies. That makes for an exciting offseason. The winner of the 2019 Footie Award for Rookie of the Year goes to, oh, my. Oh, my, oh, my. I've got my guess.

A. J. Brown wins the rookie of the year. Footy, 40%. Who do you think was runner up with 33%. It's got to be. Josh Jacobs. Oh, I was going to say Kyler. No, I think it's Jacobs. It is Josh Jacobs. Kyler. Jeklheimer Schmidt. Had a wonderful first half of the season, but didn't really help fantasy owners down the line. Nor did Jacobs. You know, that's fair. That's a fair point. And I think had Jacobs.

been there at the end winning championships, much like Godwin. Yeah, Jacobs would have won. But AJ Brown won people championships. The tank is a championship machine. Well, you really can't. Don't lean into that nickname until next year, Jay. Oh, yeah. You want it to be eligible for some sort of award. Okay. All right. You got to know when to release things. That's right. So what's the next award? All right. I finally get an exciting one because I don't know who has won. We have the comeback player of the year, which fantasy player amazed you.

the most in their return to relevance. Last year, of course, Andrew Luck was the winner. This year's nominees, John Brown, Ryan Tannahill, Allen Robinson, the winner for the comeback player of the year. Ryan Tannehill was 77% of the vote, not even a contest. Congratulations, Ryan Tannahill. Comeback player of the year.

Yeah. The award, nobody wants to ever have the opportunity to win. That's true. In their career. But if they. He has to win the real comeback player of the year. Yeah. That is a real award. That would make sense for sure. Yeah. Playoff bound Tannehill. All right. The steal of the draft. I have another one with eligibility.

For Lamar Jackson, which player was the best value? Ha ha. Awesome. Echler, Aaron Jones, Chris Godwin, Cortland Sutton, and Mark Andrews are competing with Lamar Jackson. But can they win? Did they combine their powers? Steal of the draft. Is Lamar Jackson? I wonder how much he won by, though, because probably a lot, 50%.

There's a large group here. You've got 50%. What do you have, Mike? I will take 51%. You win by Price's right rules, but you still stunk because it is 71% of the vote. Who is? Once again, who is the secondary winner here? If Lamar Jackson is not in the runnings, the foot clans say the winner would have been. Mark Andrews. Incorrect. Eckler. Correct. Awesome Eccler. Austin Eccler.

Always living in second place. All right. Now, here we are. The most important, most significant awards anyone can win on planet Earth as certified by us. Mm-hmm. The nickname of the year award. Now, we have special music for this, Brooks. Is that right? Hit it. Yes. The moment you have all been waiting for. So prestigious that this music is necessary.

Since the dawn of 2019, many have entered. Only one remains. With their silly names, their mispronunciation, their just absurdity. The Walleris. Lizard King. Chris Goblin. Abercrombie. David Mopportunity. Kenny Bills. Hockulees. Slash. Hockstrap. Jared Kuik.

and awesome Eccler round out the nominees. I feel like I just went into Disneyland. I feel exactly how I feel. The winner of the prestigious, never to be replaced, nickname of the year award for 2019 is. There was never a shadow of a doubt. No, the Wallerist, Darren Waller. Thank goodness we didn't give Lamar Jackson a nickname.

Here's the thing. A nickname to win this award most often or many times, you need to deliver on the nickname. Look, if T.J. Hawkinson had been a beast for the whole season, I'm sure Hockey League would have had a much higher vote. But Darren Waller was, and he won with 54% of the vote. Oh, no. So close. Man, if the nickname of the year wins with 55, that would be incredible.

Do you want to guess the runner up? Well, to speak to your point first, I'm just sad that Daryl Henderson didn't do enough because Darnell Anderson, of course, was the best nickname of the year. No, it's the worst. Mike has never liked that one. No, because it's. Which is strange for Mike because he likes everything. Yeah. So it should tell you something. I like a lot of things. It's just that I think your problem is that it's just another person's name. Yes. Their nickname is a different name. All right. The runner up was, what do you think?

I'm going to say the lizard king. Yeah, Sammy. It was. It was the lizard king. Sammy Walken. All right. Now, he also rode the coat waves of coat waves. Coat waves? Yeah, coat tails, the coat waves. Nice, Jason. Oh, that was the Jason comment right there. Ride them waves. Of Alan Lazard. So, I mean, he got, I think he got a slight bump. Really? Because another person also got to.

Use that music. We weren't able to play that music enough just based on Sammy's performance. That's fair. That's fair. Now, we have one more illustrious special, very, very special, like special music special? Yes, give me the special music. Oh, yeah. The Fantasy Football's Moment of the Year. Moment of the year. From 2019, your nominees, take lock. Take lock. The rise of...

It's football time. It's football time. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Jason's crushed soul. Nothing for that one, Jay. No, that better not win. It's still hurting. Jason mutes himself while talking. I don't know what you're talking. Fedora Jason. Adam Gase, apology, impersonation. The Halloween costumes of Darren Waller, Watkins, and Goblin, groin index.com, and the David Blount.

The David Blah pronunciation. Your winner for the biggest and best award of all time, the fantasy footballer's moment of the year. Jason's crushed soul with 33% of the phones. Jason, your pain is pleasure for so many. I'm really conflicted. And we knew it from the moment it happened. I'm very conflicted because... Would you like to relive that moment? I would never like to relive that moment.

Well, Brooks has got it figured out for us. Let's go back in time. Tuesday, November 19th, the fantasy footballers Andy, Mike, and Jason. It's basically a two-man show because I'm about 50%. Jason's about 50%. Different reasons. The outside of my body is here. The shell that you have come to know.

as Jason Moore is still on the show. Jason Moore is no more? The inside is hollow. I am an Eminem with no chocolate. You're like the Easter chocolate bunnies. Oh, with the... You're like, oh, that's a whole bunch of chocolate. Except they serve a purpose. They can be delicious and a tasty treat. While I have no reason to be here. Rivers is driving down the field.

Rivers needs to essentially drive down the field for Jason to win. And he does. And he does. And I won. And Jason was up by half a point until one more. One more interception. I believe that is seven interceptions in the last two games. I have had all of them. But it took each one to put me where I'm at right now.

Thanks for helping me relive that. Oh, man. Philip Rivers will forever be in fantasy lore for you. The bad kind. I can hear in my voice how genuinely dead inside I was. You were a destroyed person. I really did not care about you guys or the show.

or job or any family family what family i didn't deserve a family and all of that was because of philip rivers so i thank you philip you're you get no footy i'm taking the footy for this one oh my gosh you know maybe that'll be a new category for next year brooks we can think about is um somehow the player that we like the least or something of that nature because they the grudge the grudge
