Happy Hour. Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher, and despite the odds being set against him, the return of Matthew Barry. Matthew, how'd you pull this off?
- [00:25]
A
I'll tell you, it's a secret that I don't highly recommend, but the. The truth of the matter is that no one at NBC of any importance watches our show. And so it just. God bless all the executives who aren't even aware that our show is on. No one watches it. Like, you know, if I'd done this on any other show, then I'm probably gone. But luckily we just fly under the radar. They had no idea we were in on the air. No one. Thank you to the regulars. They all kept their mouths shut. So somehow I'm back.
- [00:55]
C
Yeah, it really is against the odds between your various assertions about Isaiah Likely's activities and your. Also your issues before the show, which was a really troubling four minutes as you battled against your iPad, which I'm very glad the regulars didn't have to endure as Connor and myself did. But we're here now.
- [01:16]
A
Yeah, my camera, like, if you noticed, my camera follows me.
- [01:20]
B
This is what we told you not to do.
- [01:22]
A
It's the weirdest thing. And. And like, I don't know how to turn it off on my iPad. I'm shooting that. I'm doing this on my iPad and I don't know how to, you know.
- [01:31]
C
Yeah, no, it reminds me of Skynet and the things that Skynet would do in Terminator 2. Yeah. The way technology is trying to thwart you.
- [01:40]
A
Yes, yes, exactly. Me and technology would not get along.
- [01:43]
B
I really. Like about three minutes before the show, producer Steven goes, you know what? Just don't move and we won't have any problems at all. And 60 seconds into the show, Matthew's like, if I go like this or if I go like that, the camera will follow me.
- [01:59]
A
I'm a believer in being honest with the audience, Connor, as you know. And the other thing is, and I think this gives real insight, and you can imagine what I was like as a kid, the minute you tell me not to do something is the minute I do it. You know what I mean? Like, anytime I'm told you can't do that, you won't be able to do that. You won't be able to accomplish that. Don't do it. That's a green light for me. Like, oh, yeah, well, watch this. So, yeah, that was bad. You'd think producer Steven would know that after producing me for four years, but apparently hasn't sunk in.
- [02:27]
B
Shout out to all the regulars rocking with us in the chat as always. We'll read your comments and we still have plenty to get through today despite going through free agency on Tuesday. We got wave two covered today. We'll go through the top remaining free agents. Some free agency props at the end already. But the ROTOR World player news, let's get right into it guys. A couple days ago we were breaking down that Daniel Jones was on the transition tag. The Colts get a contract over the finish line, a 2 year 88 million dollar deal. Matthew Daniel Jones goes the Kirk Cousins ish route from a couple years ago. Short term high guarantees a whole lot of money.
- [03:04]
A
Yeah, it's, it's the Jay Croucher special. He just, he hypes them up and he gets them paid. Alec Pierce Daniel Jones for the shoe this is the best possible landing spot for Daniel Jones. I think like last year was as good as I think he's looked right, you know, for the, for the 13 games like he was like, you know, QB7 on a points per game basis. He had five different games with 22 or more fantasy points. The Colts actually led the NFL in yards per play when Jones was under center they were 4th and offensive yards for play like that offense was humming under Daniel Jones and he was like a viable low end QB1 most weeks when he was out there healthy. And so you know, look, you know, if again it's not fair to compare him to her Cousins except maybe contract wise but you know you think about Kirk Cousins coming off the Achilles and just you know, and part of Daniel Jones's fantasy value does come is from legs. Does he not run as much early in the season because of coming off of the injury that he had. And so I don't know. I just, I think he's a mid tier QB2 for me that 14 to 18 range despite how good he was last year, you know, because I think he won't run as much and is there a slow start coming off the injury. But I think again for fantasy purposes, for all of us that have Alec Pierce, Tyler, Tyler Warren, Josh Downs, I think this is a good as good an outcome as you could get for Daniel Jones. And also by the way, you know, I think he's a, he's very viable in superplex leagues, deep leagues as well next year as a starter.
- [04:43]
C
Mixed emotions over here for me, the lifelong Schumann, mostly negative emotions to be fair. I don't think you should be giving Daniel Jones two years. 88 million off an Achilles Ted the issues are multiple. One, he's a quarterback who is, I think, extremely dependent on his athleticism as a separator. His best year in the NFL, as well as he played to start last season, and before the injury, he was kind of tailing off. He did not have a good few weeks leading up to the injury. I understand he was dealing with the fractured fibula as well. But even the Pittsburgh and Atlanta games before that, he did not look very good. But I thought the best Daniel Jones has looked in the NFL was 2022 with the Giants when Brian Dabel won Coach of the year, when Jo beat Kirk Cousins in the playoffs in that game in Minnesota and that year he had over 700 rushing yards. Last year, playing 12 and a half games, basically, he didn't come close to that. He had 164 yards on the ground. He had five rushing touchdowns, and they did use the tush bush at the goal line a little bit. But the problem with Jones is that it's not just the Achilles, which is a huge concern. It's the fact that in his seven years in the NFL, he's played more than 14 games once. He just gets hurt a lot. And now coming off the Achilles, we don't have a ton of sample for a quarterback who is as young as Daniel Jones. Obviously didn't go well for Kirk Cousins in Atlanta. Off the Achilles, probably a little bit different. Cousins in his mid-30s. Daniel Jones is 28. Maybe with being younger, with modern sports science now saying, you know, Jason Tatum, get back in under 300 days, he's closer to Daniel Jones in age than Kirk Cousins. But just think, there's a lot of red flags and. And the Colts are paying him as though there are no red flags at all. So as a Schuman, I would have preferred that the Colts get Kyler Murray or I'd rather have Malik Willis than Daniel Jones because there's more upside there. But Jones knows the offense. He operates it well. Steichen trusts him. So I think that he will be a floor raiser for the other guys in that offense. But in terms of his own ceiling, I don't really see it.
- [06:47]
B
Yeah, they were in a tough spot, right? I mean, you look at it, they traded two ones for Sauce Gardner last year. So they're in this window now where they need to. They need to make playoffs and do more with that, where. Yeah, you're right, Jay. Like, you could argue there's more upside with Malik Willis or maybe even Kyler Murray, but there's also a lot more risk with those two guys. So they did what a Lot of teams do, Matthew, and they bet on more of the floor and a shout out to stuntman Chuck in the comments. He said, imagine all the eating out Jones can do with that contract. Big fan of the restaurant scene, Daniel Jones.
- [07:18]
A
There's no question about it. There'll be a lot of that happening for, for Daniel Jones. Over 3,100 passing yards last a year, though, in 12 and a half games, to your point. But the 2022 season, I mean, yes, he's, you know, Jones ran more in that year with New York, but he passed more. He was much more efficient, was, I think, an expanded sort of his passing tree. I felt like, you know, like I felt like that year in New York, he was much more of a dink and dunker than he was, you know, he was throwing bombs to Alec Pierce like they were taking shots deep. You know, they would occasionally try stuff to A.D. mitchell before, you know, before he fumbled at the goal line and cost them their first game, their first loss. I mean, you know, they were undefeated for a while, right? I mean, like. So I think Steichen just sort of feels like. And the organization feels like the offense was humming under him. Healthy, can he stay healthy this year? That's going to be the big one here. Another big quarterback news and I'm going to introduce this subject because, Conor, I'm sure you have a lot of thoughts on the return of Dino Smith. The jets wrote him off. He didn't write back, but this time he actually did. He's making his triumphant return to the Meadowlands and. And now I'm. Badlands is back, baby. Badlands is back. As the jets acquire Geno Smith from the Raiders.
- [08:37]
B
Your thoughts, I guess, on the scale of what the jets were able to do, they could do a lot worse, especially in the fantasy world than Gino because Gino will be able to get the to Garrett Wilson. Gino will be able to throw the ball to Breeze hall and we'll see who the number two wide receiver ends up being on this team after the draft. You know, at the end of the day, once again, like what Kyler Murray wasn't going to the jets that, you know, they knew that then you're in the. Are you going to go trade for somebody's backup? So at the end of the day, they go the route of. The Raiders can pay Gino salary. He's a bridge guy. Because their quarterback, in my opinion, is in the 2027 draft. Unless they take Ty Simpson this year, which I don't. I think they'll reach for him, it would have to be more of a value situation. So Gino is a functioning quarterback now. What people are being, I think, a little unfair to him with is this is a better situation for Geno Smith. It's a better offensive line. He didn't get to play with Brock Bowers a lot last year. So he has a number one target in this offense. And in theory, you'd hope because of their offensive line, they could run the ball with Breeze Hall. So it's not great. The jets aren't a playoff team, but from actually an offensive output, this is much better than what Geno had last year in Vegas.
- [09:50]
C
Yeah, I like. I like the description, Connie. It's like Geno Smith is a sentient being. He is a sentient human being and he will be able to play quarterback.
- [09:59]
B
Not Brady Cook.
- [10:00]
C
He's not Brady Cook. No, certainly. I think the difficulty is, is clearly the situation in Vegas was diabolical between what was happening with Chip Kelly's offense, with Pete Carroll, with whatever was going on with the offensive line. And Gino had three years before that where he was, you know, I think at worst, a league average quarterback in Seattle. And the situation in Seattle was. Was okay. I mean, he had DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett for the most part, but, you know, it wasn't the best situation in the NFL. The O line was shaky in Seattle. But Connor, how much do you think last year, like, how much was that Gino, who's now, you know, the wrong side of 35. He's going to be 36 this coming season. How much do you think it was him falling off versus just the situation around him just collapsing.
- [10:45]
B
I think it's an even mix of both where you don't just take away the fact that Gino's gonna throw interceptions and Geno's gonna take sacks. Like, that's just the kind of quarterback he is. He will hold on to the ball. He looks to throw the ball down the field, which is actually what I think Frank Reich really liked about him here. And there's a Frank Reich question here, right? Like, has Frank Reich been a victim of bad situations at the end of his coaching career or is Frank Reich just not have it anymore? We. We don't know right now, to be honest with you. So I think it's both, Jay. I think that Raiders offense, they got no push. Genti, once again, Bowers was hurt. Where you look at it and go, okay, that's the positive news here for Gino. Where can he just be mediocre would be an upgrade. And I think what people are missing, like, there just wasn't a lot of avenues. Now, this is the fault of their own, but there wasn't a lot of avenues here, Matthew, for the jets at this position.
- [11:34]
A
No, that's true. And I will tell you in my NFL Combines Rumors column, one of the things that. That I wrote about was the fact that multiple people on the Vikings, you know, people. A lot. A lot of my sources were telling me that they were hearing from the Vikings, from multiple Viking sources, like, hey, do you think they're releasing Geno? What's going on with Geno? You think Geno. The Vikings were very, very interested in Geno Smith and were hoping that he was going to be released. He was on their short list. Because the conversation there, Jay, to sort of answer your question, is that at least, I think from the Vikings point of view and from a lot of people in the NFL, the feeling was that Geno's tape from last year actually isn't that bad. It was the offense around him. The play calling around him was so abysmal. He had so little around him. And just that the, you know, I mean, like, we've heard some of the stories about Chip Kelly, especially early on in the year and towards like, just kind of like how, you know, how dysfunctional that offense was. And so I think a lot of people feel like, yes. Is Geno Smith leading them to the Super Bowl?
- [12:32]
B
No.
- [12:33]
A
But is Geno SMITH A competent NFL quarterback? Like, is he one of the 32 best quarterbacks in the NFL? Yes, he is. Should he be a starting quarterback in the NFL in 2026? I think so. And so that was the feeling there. Then as things started to play out, two was going to Atlanta. And so the jets trade for Geno. I don't think the Vikings wanted to give up any assets to go get him. I know it was a seventh, and, you know, they give up a sixth and they get a seventh back. But I don't think they want to give up any assets for him, but they were hoping he was going to be released and he was going to shortlist. But now it's looking like Kyler Murray will go to Minnesota, which, you know, I think is probably the best possible outcome for Minnesota given their quarterback situation. We'll talk about this a little bit more. And also probably the best situation for Kyler to land. But, yeah, I mean, I think otherwise, the only other options the jets really had were other than trading for somebody under contract, was hoping that somebody that, quote, didn't have a gig. Right. Wanted a gig. A Kirk Cousins, a Joe Flacco, somebody like that. That. That's. That's potentially out there, right? Certainly the cost to acquire Gino, not what it would cost to get like, say, Mac Jones from the Niners. And so. So, yeah, I think. I think if you basically, if the jets feels like this is one of those things that, that signals, you know, it does. Connor, I'll do your jets analysis for you. It's fine. I got this. Do I need to host Badlands too?
- [14:02]
B
Hey, we'll have you on this week.
- [14:04]
A
Here's what I think. I think that this gives the Jets a lot of different options, which is it allows them, okay. If we don't do anything in the position, no one falls to us in the draft. There's no one else. That's interesting out there. We can go into the season with Geno Smith and be fine. Right to your point and get the ball to Garrett and get the ball to Breeze. He can run an offense. He'll be fine and competent and we can look towards 20, 27. But if we start talking with the Raiders and there's a deal that where we like Mendoza and we can move up to go get him, we can still do that, right, Gino? Gino's a very good backup. Right. If Ty Simpson falls to us in the second round and maybe we decide, you know what, hey, why not, why not bring in Ty Simpson, develop him a little bit and, and let Gino, you know, Gino start the season, that kind of thing. So I just think it gives them more options as free agency in the draft sort of play out because it's not a big enough cost where you're like, well, now they have to start Gino, but it gives them a fallback if they don't. So there you go. There's your jets analysis. Connor, love of God, let me know if I need to host Sims next. Just, you know, whatever it is I got to do.
- [15:08]
B
You want to do the jets free agency special with me in some way tonight in the city? Yeah. All right. We'll get you back in your football night suit before we move on.
- [15:17]
A
What if I do that? What if I go on SNY tonight,
- [15:20]
B
sit in my seat?
- [15:21]
A
Yeah, yeah. No, sit in Connor seat and win the Emmy. What if I unseat Todd Zeal for my one appearance?
- [15:29]
B
It's tough to do.
- [15:31]
C
I tell you what, it would be extremely strange if you did that. It would be very, very strange and it would be great television to hear. You want to talk about Odafe Owe on the commanders. Meanwhile, everyone wants to talk.
- [15:43]
A
Everyone's talking about the Jets. Yeah. Yeah. We just talked about. Yeah, I don't. Why didn't the jets go out and get Tim Settle? Because Tim Settle is awesome. Now it's on the Commanders, but all I'm doing is hyping up the guys that the Commanders got and saying I. Why didn't the jets get into this guy either? That'd be my take. That'd be my way to do it.
- [16:02]
B
I'll close out Geno talk with this stat for you guys. Geno's thrown for 4,000 yards twice in the last four seasons. The jets have had a quarterback do that once in their team history. It was Joe Namath in 1967 when nobody was throwing for 4,000 yards.
- [16:19]
C
Yeah, Seattle Gino would be the best quarterback the jets have had in like two decades.
- [16:25]
B
No, it would be. If you had Seattle Geno, it would be basically the second or third best quarterback season of all time. Jets history. Yeah.
- [16:32]
C
Maybe one of those Pennington years, I don't know. But yeah, it's.
- [16:35]
B
That's the context we're in right now.
- [16:38]
C
So.
- [16:39]
B
Yeah, but like you said, Matthew, they're trying to buy themselves some more time. All right, some more news here. This one definitely fantasy relevant.
- [16:47]
A
Can I ask you one dumb question though? What happens with Justin Fields? Because it was a two year deal.
- [16:51]
B
He'll be cut. They'll just eat the dead body. He'll be cut. Yeah. Unless somebody is willing to do what the jets just did. You trade a sixth rounder for a seventh rounder and eat money. Yeah, I think that's why they haven't cut him yet. They're holding out hope that somebody needs a backup and does that. But it's, you know, it feels like something that might have. Would have happened already. But we'll see some news. Other news in the AFC East, Stefan Diggs out of New England, the replacement is now romeo Dobbs. A four year contract worth up to $80 million. A lot of back and forth over what the details of this contract actually were at signing. But Matthew, what we know is Dobbs goes into an offense where he can handle a lot of different receiving roles under Josh McDaniels. And they have a quarterback, a quarterback that was in the MVP race that'll be able to feed him the ball with not a ton of overwhelming competition as of now.
- [17:45]
A
Yeah, but there's a lot of. It is the issue. Right. I mean you've got K, Shan Booty and Mac Hollins and Pop Douglas and of course both tight ends as well. And he likes to run. And you have to figure they use Trevion Henderson in the passing game a little bit more a year two of his, his NFL career. And so it's just like this is one of those, like it's a. I don't know that I'm going to rank him much higher than I would have back with Green Bay. Like is he the best wide receiver on the Patriots? Maybe, you know, but you know, like, like I don't. Is he as good a wide receiver as Stefan Diggs? I don't think so. I know he's younger but you know, I don't think he's significantly better than Stefan Diggs was last year. And like step on Diggs like had flashes but also had games where he just disappeared because they're, you know, they're taking bombs to Kayshawn booty or they're running the ball when they get in close. Right. You know, this guy's never had more than 60 receptions in a year. He's never had more than 750 receiving yards in a career in a season. He's played four years in the NFL. And so like I have him in the wide receiver 36 to 40 range like a high end wide receiver 4. But like I feel like this is going to be a better NFL move and just another quality wide receiver for Drake May than somebody that you can count on for consistent fantasy production just because they do have a lot of mouths of feed and like they'll probably be my highest ranked Patriots wide receiver. But again, I just told you, like he's in the 35 to 40 range for me. So he's a, you know, high end wide receiver for to me the more interesting play here is Jaden Reed. Like again, like you think about the health issues of Christian Watson, you think about the very slow start of Matthew Goldin last year and does Jaden Reed, who, you know, and they still have Dontabeon Wicks, but I've always just felt like Jaden Reed, if he could just get snaps and stay on the field would be really productive. And so I just again, I know he's a slot guy and Dobbs played outside but just, you know, the way their offense runs, I don't know. To me, I think the Green Bay having, having Dobbs who was such a big red zone threat for Green Bay no longer there, I think just ups the value of all those other packers wide receivers that we like, like Watson, like Jaden Reed Like Wicks, you know, and we'll see. On Matthew Golden.
- [20:09]
C
Yeah, I've never really understood why Jaden Reed hasn't been more productive in his career. Because I mean, at his peak he looks like a couple of years ago when he was really playing to start off the year where he had that long touchdown in the opening game against the Eagles in Brazil, like he looked like Debo Samuel but with a more vertical element as well. And that player looked like he could be, you know, a top 15 wide receiver in the NFL. Obviously there's a bit more clarity with Dobbs gone, but still, like Matthew golden is a huge unknown. Christian Watson is probably the most talented receiver of the groups. Just he can't stay healthy on Dobbs. I do think the case for Dobbs is simply that if you had to bet your life on who is going to be the number one pass catcher for Drake May, who was one vote away from winning mvp, I think the only. Well, I think the two most reasonable answers are Romeo Dobbs and player not yet on the team. Whether that's they trade for an AJ Brown type or whether they draft someone but Romeo Dobbs, I mean, Matthew noted that, you know, this Guy's never top 750 receiving yards in the NFL. He hasn't, but he kind of gets pretty close to 750 every year and he's like 750 and seven touchdowns and 55 receptions. And Connor like he's, he's 25 years old. So there is still scope for him to develop. Do you think that there is further upside in him as a player or is he pretty much a finished product at this point?
- [21:33]
B
No, I think there is. I think he's somebody that can actually win down the field when you go back to his prospect profile. But he's been able to develop as a target at all three levels and McDaniels is going to know how to kind of put him in the right spots and move him around. And like Matthew said, we saw a lot of really nice weeks for Stefan Diggs, but we also saw weeks where he disappeared. And you have to wonder is that kind of how this New England offense is structured and will Dobbs fall? I'd say victim to that, but there'll also be moments of greatness for him. So I just think it's, I don't know about the consistency aspect that, you know how we draft receivers in fantasy if he'll have that, but he'll be somebody that matchup dependent. You'll be looking to start if like you Said Jay. They don't make another big move at wide receiver, which is kind of the ultimate TBD because they paid him, you know, in that like Jerry Judy wide receiver two kind of range. So it's not like this roster can't take on a real number one wide receiver.
- [22:28]
A
The one thing that Dobbs does do Dobby one of the Dobbies. And then we're going to talk about another yeah, back to back Dobbies. But the in terms of this Dobby, he and I don't know if it was just, you know, Jordan Love just trusted him, but just felt like he got a lot of red zone and end zone targets, especially last year, just became kind of a go to guy for Jordan Love. And so I know they have Hunter Henry there, but there's no one else on that offense among the wide receivers that you feel like, well that's a guy that when they get in close they've got to look for, you know, and so maybe this is Dobbs gives him something like that. Again, it's not like Dobbs is like this, you know, Mike Evans type or whatever, you know, but he did have a big, he did have a lot of red zone usage last year for the Packers.
- [23:17]
B
All right guys, let's go to the other Dobby then JK Dobbins. Jay back with Denver where before injury he was highly efficient last year.
- [23:24]
C
Yeah, and I think it's going to be mostly the same thing again where he's behind a really good offensive line. He's with a quarterback. Bonick overall had a pretty up and down year but finished the year really strong and was excellent in that playoff game against the bills. I mean J.K. dobbins is 5 yards per carry for the Broncos and now he got hurt and he often does get hurt. But I think that just with Sean Payton's track record and how much he likes the the old reliable veteran as opposed to the more boom or bust nature of RJ Harvey. I think the Dobbins is going to be, you know, he's probably going to be a guy that we talk about on our Tuesday waiver wire show a lot throughout the year where he's probably going to be available. I don't think there's a ton of upside here, but I think there are worlds where, you know, J.K. dobbins week in, week out is a fairly reliable 13, 14 carries, four and a half yards per carry and gets in the end zone an okay amount. But I think Connor, the M.O. the more pertinent question here is what, what's the outlook for RJ Harvey next
- [24:29]
B
season, that's the weird one. They use the second round pick on him. It feels like he's best in space, although they didn't always use him that way and maybe part of that was due to the injury. But it's just hard to see the touchdown equity ironically because Harvey did have some. But it's hard to see enough just volume as a whole for him to be valued the same way he was last year as long as Dobbins is back. Because Matthew Sean Payton will lean on the veteran. Dobbins was good in this offense last year, so there's not a reason to get away from him. I'm just, I was never ultimately as high as they drafted Harvey. But now in fantasy where I was once hopeful for the upside, I, I don't really have a lot of that faith going into next year with Dobbins back in this backfield.
- [25:13]
A
Well, the faith with RJ Harvey is that Dobbins gets hurts again.
- [25:17]
B
Right.
- [25:17]
A
This is somebody who's missed 36 games over the last four years in terms of J.K. dobbins and Harvey proved down the stretch last year that he could be a workout. So you're right. Sean Payton has wanted his traditionally used multiple running backs in his office. Now he's not calling plays this year. It's Davis west one. So we assume that Davis that. Listen, Sean Payton a Hall of Fame coach whenever he decides to retire. So I would assume that Sean Payton is going to have a heavy say and influence into this offense. But he had, you know, he's been public about the fact that he is not going to call the plays that Davis Webb will call the plays for the Broncos. So we'll see how that rotation works out. But I think the fact that they had a chance to get out of Dobbins and kind of, you know, move on and do something different and the fact that they went out and you know, brought them back on a two year contract that's worth up to $20 million. So again a lot of incentives needs to take salty but like that's real money for a running back with his track record. I will say this J, I'm a little bit more boast than you are. Look, he's a nothing in the passing game, right. 4% target share last year, but averaged over 77 rushing yards a game six month among among running backs and he is a, he is a hammer when they're getting close. And so he's a, he's a touchdown dependent flex right Is what honestly what they both are. You know, it definitely Dobbins hurts Harvey's value more than Harvey hurts Dobbins value. Just because I don't think that, you know, some of the stuff that Harvey does, Dobbins is never going to do just Dobbins never going to be part of the passing game. And so does, you know. And Harvey was still able to score touchdowns because they're throwing swing passes from the 15. And then he's, he's, he's, he's running it in. But you know, he's in the 27 to 33 range for me at running back. So he's a low end RB3 kind of a. On a weekly basis. I think he's going to be. I don't think he'll be a waiver wire guy, Jay. I think he's going to be drafted. I think he's going to be a. He'll be a touchdown defendant. A dependent flex. In most weeks and most weeks out there, he's got a pretty good shot at scoring a touchdown because they do like to run when they get in close.

B
SEC man put makes a very true comment here, guys. He says community note. Don't trust anything you hear in this chat. It's all posturing prior to the League of Assholes draft.
- [27:27]
A
Oh, that's a great point.
- [27:28]
C
Interesting.
- [27:28]
A
That's a great point, SEC Man. Oh one. Yeah. But here's my question. Is SEC Man 01 in the league? Like how are we deciding who's in the league? Like I feel like people should like we. I don't know who's running it. Is it. Is it Medici? Is it is. Aloha.
- [27:46]
C
Aloha.
- [27:47]
A
We need to figure out who the commissioner is of the regulars League of Assholes draft and then I feel like we should vote on who we should fill the league. We should fill the league. We should fill. It should be a 12 team. Aloha, Commissioner. Okay, Valiant business. Aloha's the commissioner. So you tell me what we should do here. And I feel like we should like make it like a 16 team league. Try to get as many people in, make it a real hardcore league. And then. And I feel like what we should do is so we should put like 15 people in the league and then for the 16th spot maybe make like producer Steven play in it or Big Show. Do we put big?
- [28:28]
B
I think we put. Because Big show is no longer in our league. So I know Stephen has to worry about his own team in our league. I think Big show goes into the regulars league.
- [28:37]
A
Yeah. So we can Put Big show in there. Or Mid Show. Our new producer, our new researcher.
- [28:42]
B
That's true. Actually, Medium show probably is the guy.
- [28:46]
A
I call him Mid show because I know.
- [28:47]
C
Yes, more derogatory, disrespectful.
- [28:51]
B
Right, Derogatory.
- [28:54]
A
Right, exactly. So we could put Medium show in there. We could bring back Penn State, Blake.
- [29:01]
B
Yeah, maybe we can. We don't know if legally we actually can. So we'll have to look into that.
- [29:05]
A
Oh, we can do whatever we want. We can do whatever we can do. We could. We can do whatever we want. Or you know what we should do? What we should do is we should. We should. We should make Roto Pat play in it. Because Rotopat won arms every league. Yeah, yeah, just screw that. Like get him out of our league. We don't want them in our league anymore, do we?
- [29:22]
B
Who do you guys remember who came in last in our. In league of our league of league.
- [29:27]
A
I believe it was producer Adam.
- [29:30]
B
Producer Adam is pretty. Probably gonna have to play in the regulars league then. I don't make the rules.
- [29:38]
A
Of course I went on my seven game win streak. Yeah, yeah.
- [29:41]
B
You were getting worried about this exact scenario. Stuntman Chuck said no, Give us Denny Carter. It might have been Denny anyway.
- [29:48]
A
Oh, yeah.
- [29:49]
B
So you might be getting. Yeah, we'll have to talk him into it, but maybe it's Denny.
- [29:52]
A
Yeah.
- [29:53]
C
Two. Two quick notes. One, this is very niche, but I'll share it anyway. Medium show works on the NBA pre game show. He's a researcher there as well. He's cheating on us with the NBA, as am I. And so I was in the pre show meeting and Medium show walks in and I'm in the room with Brian Scalabrini and Chris Bosch and Medium show walks in and I say, hey, what's up, Medium Show? And then Chris Bosch kind of what? Medium show is very confused old CB by a young man who has the nickname somehow of Medium Show. But secondly, did you have to explain it?
- [30:29]
A
I was going to say about.
- [30:32]
C
I'm not explaining Chris Bosch, Medium show and the inside jokes of ffh. But to get us back on the rails here. JK Dobbins. So touchdown dependent flex. I get that the issue is he doesn't actually score touchdowns, Right? He only had four touchdowns last year. And also he played 10 games. He had 11 catches in 10 games. It's almost impossible for someone who's on the field as much as him to only have 11 receptions in 10 games. Average 3.4 yards per reception, which has to be down the league low. So I think that Dobbins, I think ultimately you still want RJ Harvey if you're taking it back in that backfield just for the upside. Like, there are worlds where RJ Harvey explodes because he's just younger and there's more variance and there's more upside there, even if Dobbins may ultimately have the higher floor.
- [31:21]
B
All that.
- [31:22]
A
I totally hear everything you said and, like, we're on the same page. Like, he's a nothing in the passing game. The only thing I'll say is that last year, even though he only had the four rushing touchdowns, Jay, he was running back 26 on a points per game basis. I mean, like, he literally was a flex and like, you know, and so with only four rushing touchdowns, he was still like, flex viable at running back 26 on a points per game basis. And so maybe I'm being too, too harsh with the touchdown dependent, but you had him on the waiver wire 10 minutes ago, so I didn't want to hear it. Like, you know, like, you're not. You're not allowed to be back on the Dobby bandwagon. No, no. You're a hater.
- [31:57]
C
I'm a Josh Dubs man. I've always been a Josh Dubs man.
- [32:00]
A
Yeah.
- [32:00]
B
All right. Speaking of actual, actual running backs on the waiver wire, Aaron Jones, this is a little bit of a surprise, agreed to stay on a restructured one year contract. Essentially a little bit of a pay cut here for our guy. Aaron Jones, 5.6 million. Five million guaranteed, though, in a place that he's had plenty of success in when healthy. Minnesota has been one of those main teams that gets discussed a lot guys as taking a running back in this draft, but they still have Jordan Mason. And a surprise, they bring back Aaron Jones. Matthew, I think a young running back will be on this roster, but it still feels like at the top, more of the same from last year. Now.
- [32:37]
A
I think Aaron Jones was used more than a lot of people thought, including us, you know, because we thought, well, Jordan Mason, he's going to be the hand. We'll just use him, use him in the passing game. I remember when we had coach of the year Kevin o' Connell on our show two years ago at the super bowl, and we asked him about Aaron Jones and like, he sort of lit up talking about how important Aaron Jones is to their culture and to their locker room as a leader there, how much he trusts him in this offense. And so in a world, whether whether Kyler Murray's their starter next year, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flack, With Kirk Cousins, some of the people that have been linked to them or if it is in fact JJ McCarthy. You know, it's. You know, I feel like he's going to, you know, he's going to be a low end RB3. I have been the kind of running back, pre PR scoring running back, you know, 30 to 35 range. Again, he plays more than you think because O' Connell just likes him so much from a various place. He's one of my favorite players in the NFL. Free Aaron Jones. You know, we talked. He's Aaron Jones, friend of the podcast now. We had him on the super bowl this year.
- [33:43]
B
Such a great guy.
- [33:44]
A
He found out I was the creator of hashtag Free Aaron Jones and gave me a hug and so anyway, we love Aaron Jones or I do. Well, look, five. Guess he's missed at least five games through the last three seasons. Needs to stay healthy as we know. But he's 32. But you know, I think there's still some low end RB3 value in PPR. By the way. Guys, I have a question for you. I need to, I need a ruling here. We're at 35 minutes. I'm on my iPad. I have it. Look, I have it charging. Like it's being. Hang on. But I'm down to 8%. It's been charging this whole time. So it's charging, but even though it's charging, the.
- [34:24]
B
It's losing battery.
- [34:26]
A
The battery. It's draining the battery faster than it can charge. I started with like 35%. I'm like, oh, I'm at 35% and I'm being plugged in the whole show. I should be fine. But Now I'm at 8% and so I think there's a chance that I
- [34:38]
B
just go, yeah, let's pick up the pace.
- [34:41]
A
Yeah, either that.
- [34:43]
B
No, let's pick up the pace. Rewiring this.
- [34:46]
A
All right. Or I could just. I could just log on. If I die, I'll come back onto my phone or something like that.
- [34:51]
B
This is like sure.
- [34:52]
C
Worst version of Keanu Reeves and speed where the bus goes over. Yeah, if it goes under 50 miles per hour, we all die. If the charger stops charging, we all die.
- [35:06]
B
User pokey up said Boomer PC. No, he's on an iPad. That's the issue here. It's not a piece of the cord
- [35:13]
A
and plug it into the wall. It's plugged in, dude. Like, it's plugged in.
- [35:16]
B
Is it working?
- [35:17]
A
Yes, I'm, I'm. Because I see the little charge bolt like, like it's, it's plugged in, dude. Like we have a, I'm on, I'm on an island in my kitchen and like we have a little, you know, we have a strip underneath the thing that you can plug in. Yeah, yeah.
- [35:32]
B
So that's a, that's a rich people feature. The outlet on the island. Yeah, it's working.
- [35:38]
A
We have outlets on the island. We built the island and we put outlets. You know, kids with all their devices,
- [35:42]
C
blah blah, blah, blah blah. Blow in the charger. Yeah.
- [35:46]
A
Wouldn't you like me to. Yeah, sure. Something like to see me do it? Yeah. Thank you. He's got my back.
- [35:53]
B
Before we lose you, let's get your reaction on Chris Rodriguez going to Jacksonville because Tuesday we were like base shawl two in. We're all the way, like we're all the way here for baseball two in year two now. It's not like you signed Chris Rodriguez and Bashaw Tootin doesn't matter at all. There's an argument, Matthew, that this is a low event signing. Enough of a low event signing that it points to their trust in baseball.
- [36:16]
A
Tootin, that's, that's my point. I think this is good news for Bashaltutin. Look, I mean right now I, you know, you know, I think he's probably like a low end RB2 flex play. Bashaw Tootin is right because they were going to always add depth. They weren't going to the season with just Bashaw Tootin and Lake Allen. Right. They were going to add a guy. And so you prefer that they hire, that they sign somebody like Chris Rodriguez to a 2 year, 10 million dollar deal then you know, draft Jeremiah Love or somebody like that. You know, whether it was a, you know, big name free agent running back and they traded for somebody like Chris Rodriguez is like fine, he's fine. But he's an early down back. He's a nothing in the passing game. For his career, Chris Rodriguez has six receptions in 35 games played. He's played 35 NFL career games. He's got six career receptions. Like he's a nothing in the passing game. You know, look, he averaged 54 rushing yards a game over the final seven games that he played when he sort of took over the lead role for Washington. A little bit of a dysfunctional offense here. So I could see him being an early down back. But I also just think Connor, Chris Rodriguez is a guy that been in a, he's been in and off practice squads. He's, you know, like it's a nice payday for the player, congratulations to him. But like Bashaltutin just has another gear. Bashaltutin has the ability to. Or the potential, I should say, to be special. But Chris Rodriguez is kind of just a guy to me. And so like there's a scenario where he's just death here and that it's still going to be the baseball Tutin show.
- [37:50]
B
Yeah, I agree with you all the way that this is, this is a positive outcome right now that they have a veteran that doesn't really disrupt a backfield on his own, but if somebody gets hurt, he's at least steady enough that you can play him and that they're going to probably put a bigger workload on, on tunes play all the way starting in OTAs and ramp them up through camp and ultimately we'll see what happens in the draft. But I mean, I, I can't emphasize this enough, Jay. Something with all these teams that have these, these committee backfields right now after Jeremiah Love and maybe Jadarian Price from Notre Dame and Jonah Coleman, maybe on Washington, this draft, unlike last year, doesn't have this big group of guys that they're going to get drafted and everyone's like, oh my God, he's going to challenge to be the starting running back. It's not like that. So oddly enough, we don't get the salon fantasy after free agency is with these backfields. Most of them, not all, but most of them are what you see is what you're going to get.
- [38:46]
C
Yeah, that makes sense. And the thing with Tooton now is that, I mean, this is going to be, we suspect, an elite offense. The Jags were completely dominant in the second half of the season and I don't really see why that wouldn't continue where with the, that Trevor Lawrence was playing out with the weapons they have in the receiving game to kind of quote, unquote space the floor for the run game. With Liam Cohen's creativity as a run game designer, I suspect that this is going to be very fertile ground for a running back to explode and bash Tooten. I mean, this is kind of like when the Vikings last year went in with Carson Wentz as their backup to J.J. mcCarthy. It's like, all right, well, J.J. mcCarthy is clearly the guy. Bashal Tun's clearly the guy. Chris Rodriguez is fairly unthreatening. And with Travis Etienne gone, it is now very wide open for Bashal Tutin. I keep waiting for Matthew to, to fade to black. Like the season finale of the Sopranos.
- [39:42]
A
Yeah, very much so. Wow, way to ruin that series in
- [39:47]
C
2007, Matthew, it doesn't matter.
- [39:49]
A
Doesn't matter. One of the all time classics. Everyone should watch it. But yeah, I'm at 7% so we'll see how that goes. And the other thing that I will say is that I believe I've been corrected in the comments. Producer Adam would like his name clear. Denny Carter did in fact finish last in the league of Assholes. So sorry to producer Adam there. The interesting thing to me is you mentioned sort of the running backs in the draft. Like be curious to see what happens to Washington now with Chris Rodriguez gone. We don't know if they're going to resign Austin Eckler. I don't think they will. But we're waiting to see where, where echo lands. But you know, obviously in theory this is a good sign for Jakory, Crosby, Merritt. But Washington, Connor has been one of the teams that's been mocked to draft Jeremiah Love at seven.
- [40:36]
B
Yeah, I mean you got Washington and Tennessee right now that you're looking at. And if Jeremiah Love goes to either of those teams, his usage is going to be insane. Obviously with Washington, the threat of Jaden Daniels in the same backfield probably opens things up even more for the hype around Jeremiah Love. So you'd be happy with that, right, Matthew?
- [40:55]
A
I would be.
- [40:56]
B
It'd be great.
- [40:57]
A
I would be. But I'm also, listen, I'd be happy with an edge rusher. I'd be happy with Cardinal Tate. I'd be happy with down like I'm,
- [41:02]
B
you know, it's a good spot.
- [41:03]
A
It's a good spot.
- [41:04]
B
Yeah, absolutely.
- [41:06]
A
Spoiler alert to root for Jaden Daniels to stay on the bench. And you know, we weren't going anywhere. Like let's just get a good draft, right? So another I will say if you, I will say they have other than Chiga Conko who we're going to get to here in a second. All their free agent signings have been all defense, which huge need. Meaning that for a long time the expectation was commanders were going defense at seven. They still may, they still do need any edge rusher. They were in on Trey Hendrickson. They ended up losing out to the, to the Ravens. But but yeah, I do think Jeremiah Love is, is certainly a possibility for them at seven if, if he gets past the Titans at four.
- [41:43]
B
Yeah, I think so. Another lower event running back signing at the Lions trade David Montgomery. You knew they were going to fill that role behind Jame Somebody. They sign Isaiah Pacheco to a one year $1.8 million deal. Jay the Money in this deal kind of highlights where Pacheco is at right now in his career.
- [42:02]
C
Yeah, absolutely. And I don't think that he is going to just slide into the David Montgomery role. I think this is more, I think it's more positive for Jameer Gibbs than it is for Isaiah Pacheco. And I think this speaks to the idea that Jameer Gibbs behind what, you know, in theory I think should be an improved offensive line just with the continuity for the young guys on that O line in Detroit, which struggled at times last season and have the same dominant running game as they did the previous couple of years. But I think that ultimately Jameer Gibbs, him being unleashed much like Bijan Robinson will be unleashed a bit more in Atlanta without Tyler Algier is something that will put Gibbs in, you know, conversations. We're not going to go ahead of Bijan in drafts, but I think that he has as good an argument for number two as anyone in football. And Isaiah Pacheco, again, it's like version of the Chris Rodriguez that it's fairly unthreatening given what Isaiah Pacheco has shown the past couple of years. The fact that the Chiefs needed a running back, they've needed a running back for the past two or three years and the Pacheco between his own form, between the health issues that he's been dealing with, that he wasn't able to seize that role, I think is indicative of where he stands at the moment. But yeah, this is just, it just shows that Jameer Gibbs, his potential is as high as anyone next season.
- [43:20]
A
Totally agree. I think Pacheco is basically Jameer Gibbs insurance and that if something were to happen to Gibbs, I don't think Pacheco takes the full role. I think they'd have somebody else on the team, you know, that would, that would take some of that role here. So, you know, he's going to be, you know, a touchdown dependent RB4. I agree with you. He doesn't get anywhere close to what Dave Montgomery got last year. Back to back seasons under 500 yards. He's missed a lot of time too. He's been injured 14 missed games over the last two years. So yeah, I mean, one year, $1.8 million. This is a, this is a death deal and not anything that you, you know, anything that you should pay attention to other, other than the last. If you draft Jameer Gibbs, who I have Ms. 102. So I agree with you, Jay. Like he's. I have, I still have Bijan one. But the, but the difference between Bijan Robinson and Jeremy Gibbs now is razor thin and so there'll be a lot of drafts where Gibbs goes 101 and no issue with that at all. Monster season coming for him Matthew. Hopefully we get this down to 5% by the way.
- [44:24]
B
Yeah I would say this one in time before it dies. Chicago to your Commanders. One of your longtime, you know, favorite move tight end kind of players on waivers throughout. That's a put a pretty good contract to your commanders.
- [44:38]
A
Yeah exactly. Three year worth up to $30 million. Like you know, three straight seasons with over 50 receptions and what is a challenging passing game. He's an athletic guy. Connor. We've always, we always sort of love getting cheeky with it. We've always, we've seen flashes of it and feels like his production the reason his production hasn't been there has been more about the dysfunction of the Titans offense over the last couple of years rather than him not being skilled. So I'm a mid tier tight end too. He's in that, you know, 15 to 18 range. Kind of a touchdown dependent tight end as they all are in that range. But as a Commanders fan I like it. Right. I mean again we saw how much production Zach Ertz had and a conquo is a much younger and much more athletic tight end than Zach Ertz. Valde. Respect to the legend Zachary. So yeah immediately slides in and you know should be, should be a viable tight end too this year.
- [45:32]
B
Another pass catching signing here. The Raiders needed to beef up this wide receiver room for Fernando Mendoza about to enter that organization Jay and they go out and get Jalen Naylor on a three year deal $35 million as Mendoza like we'll see what Jack Besh could do in year two. Obviously a healthy Brock Bowers but Naylor is a guy Jay that once in a while when he gets elevated from his wide receiver three role had some big weeks.
- [45:57]
C
Yeah. And the reality is there's just a lot of opportunity here. Even though Brock Bowers is clearly going to be the number one pass catching option in Vegas, there's a reasonable chance for Jalen Ella to be the number one wide receiver on an NFL team with the quarterback who suspect is going to come in and be part of an offense that just looks more functional than it did last year in Vegas. Couldn't. It couldn't look any less functional. Expect they're going to try and run the ball a fair bit in Clint Kubiak's offense with an improved offensive line and Ashton Genti there. But Jalen Naylor I think he's going to be a guy who's confusing in draws because there's going to be so much uncertainty around what the Raiders pass game looks like outside of Brock Bowers. But yeah, it's certainly a worthy flyer at this point.
- [46:40]
A
Yeah, I would, I would agree with that. I mean, he's a wide receiver 5, 6. But certainly there's opportunity there. When you think about Jack Besh, Dante Thornton, Trey Tucker, like, you know, after Bowers, there's not a lot there. So certainly opportunity for Jalen Naylor, the
- [46:55]
B
free agent market, guys, a lot of it is dried up. We'll see if Kyler Murray ultimately does sign with Minnesota and then if he does, if he ultimately wins that job. So we're kind of waiting on things with Kyler in Minnesota. But, but Matthew, I'll spin it all the way forward, say Kyler signs with Minnesota, summer ends and it feels like the Colts last year, where it's like, no, Anthony Richardson's out of the picture. It's Daniel Jones's team right now. So that happens. With Kyler in Minnesota, what range is he going to come off the board? I feel like the optimism would really start to fly with Kyler again.
- [47:27]
A
Yeah. In that offense with Kevin o' Connell, who, you know, you know, you know, basically resurrected Sam Darnold's career, could he do the same with Kyler Murray, who was once like Sam Darnold, a high draft pick? He was, you know, Kyler went number one overall. He's somebody that has, has been in MVP conversations. It's been a little while. Another year removed from the injury. So maybe he, you know, uses his legs a little bit more. But playing in a dome thrown to, you know, Justin Jefferson and, you know, Hawkinson and, you know, the, the entire team there, like he's Jordan Addison, like, yeah, I mean, I think he'd be top 12. I think he'd be a low end QB1, honestly, if you knew for sure he was going to be the starter and then he was in Minnesota. So Murray is the, is the big one left to drop in terms of, you know, where he winds up as a quarterback. And that just, just sort of seems to make sense because that's the, he's the best guy out there and that's the best situation out there. So it feels like, you know, makes a lot of sense. I'm down to 4%, by the way.
- [48:28]
B
All right. The receipt, the pass catchers we're waiting on and we will react when they sign because our show's not going anywhere. We'll be back Thursdays going forward through the draft, Juwan Jennings, Stefan Diggs, Debo Samuel, Dallas Goddard and David and Joku.

- [48:53]
C
Oh, the crown is yours, yours.
- [48:55]
B
The crown is yours, Jay. It's that time of year we're in DraftKings. You could already see the player props for guys that just signed deals you have DJ Moore's over under is 749 and a half. Mike Evans is 949 and a half. Even his age forget aside like what's an interesting market right now? How do you bet these? Because number one, people see the totals and you always say bacon and injury. But also there's so much variance of these teams can still add more to these rosters as well.
- [49:25]
C
Yeah, definitely. I think the thing with these markets is that by the eye test, they always look low. They always look low because just naturally your brain doesn't bake in how real the chances for injuries, particularly with the running backs where you know Saquon Barkley, he goes for 2k yards two years ago and then going into last season, you know, he said 600 yards lower than that is over, under or somewhere in that range. So I think that just baking in injuries is the most important thing. Historically, unders have predictably been more successful in this market than overs because people are so drawn to the overs because they don't bake in the injury in their brain. But of these markets, just some that leapt out to me, Mike Evans being set at 9:49 and a half, I think that speaks to a that would require a lot of confidence in Mike Evans staying healthy for a full season because obviously we know his 1k track record but he's dealt with some hamstring injuries the past couple of years, which would lead me to be a bit concerned about that. I think one of the most interesting ones though Matthew is Ken Walker is 924 and a half now he will go over that number if he stays healthy for the full season. He doesn't stay healthy for full seasons. Even this year where he did stay comparatively healthy, still missed a couple of games. And so I just worry a bit with Walker, even though his upside is huge. The fact that he had 286 carries, the fact that he played right through to the super bowl, the biggest workload of his career be a bit worried about him Staying healthy the entire season.
- [50:55]
A
Yeah, I get that one. I mean to me I'm sitting here looking at Dave Montgomery and like I take the under there. I just, I think, you know, you've got that. That feels like a big number for a guy that's going to be splitting time with Woody Marks that, you know, hasn't had a full time job in a while and that. I don't know, that feels like. That feels like a big number for me. Even if he stays healthy and that's, you know, there's always a risk that he misses a few games. Running backs as well especially. I just feel like, like when you talk about sort of injuries, like just feels like running back unders in general is a good idea because obviously that you know, anecdotally is the position that gets banged up the most.
- [51:33]
B
Yeah, I'm with you guys on the.
- [51:35]
A
I'm at 3%.
- [51:36]
B
I would lean much more of the unders here as well. All right, let's. Let's call it then. Matthew, you did good. You made it.
- [51:42]
A
I made it. We did 51 minutes. It's about what we usually do. That's about the commercial.
- [51:47]
B
Perfect for Pika.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah. And. And the tube. Yeah. Thousand percent. So it's good. I mean I partially now I kind of want to stay on now. I kind of want to just.
- [52:02]
B
You're just riding it out. You have to do that.
- [52:04]
A
I'm not just to see when it like it dies out and I just, you know. You know, everything like that. Yeah. I am. I am sort of ticking down like a doomsday clock here. Stuntman Chuck, talk a little bit more about this the regulars league of what should people do to have to get into.
- [52:21]
B
Should be that the winner of that league bumps up to our league. Yes. And our. And our purse obviously in this year would have been Denny, although we're establishing this. Establishing this now would have been bumped out to the. The regular league of. They said they already have a 12 man league. So I don't know if we can expand it to 16. Apparently they have two leagues and Aloha Bricks runs both of them. I need to confirm that. But I definitely think there should be some high stakes for the winner of their league getting bumped up to our league. Yeah, that's fair.
- [52:56]
A
I have no problem with that. But if they have two leagues then do the winners compete like do the winners do some sort of playoff DFS challenge to see who gets the spot?
- [53:04]
B
Yeah, I like that that, that Would raise the stakes for sure.
- [53:08]
A
Maybe there's some sort of DFS contest on DraftKings that we can do. We'll sort of see about that. That'd be interesting. Wouldn't mind a regulars guillotine league that can. That can hold 18 people do that.
- [53:21]
B
Really making the most of this 2% battery here.
- [53:24]
A
Yeah.
- [53:24]
C
Unbelievable.
- [53:25]
A
I'm still at 3%. It's hanging on. It's like Hanukkah. It's the miracle of Hanukkah. Like it's just.
- [53:31]
B
It's a new day.
- [53:32]
A
Yeah, it's just. It's a. You know, the light won't flicker out. It just continues to go longer than it should. No.
- [53:38]
C
Extremely comparable. That was the first thing that came to my mind as well. Matthew. The miracle of hanukkah with your 3% battery. Firstly, I like the deference in the chat to Aloha Bricks as the clear commissioner. The. The clear choice for commissioner. I also like the comment as well that after months of waking up to watch our show that Aloha Bricks in Hawaii is. Is catching up on sleep as though he's hibernating like a bear for the return of the show when it gets going daily again in August. Gonna catch up on that sleep between now and then.
- [54:11]
B
He's a busy guy all year. He needs a rest now. He needs the off season too. It's not easy waking up at what, 5am to watch us idiots wherever he is. Yeah.
- [54:21]
A
God bless.
- [54:21]
B
But, but.
- [54:22]
A
And we're making Denny play in their league next year. That's absolutely happening.
- [54:25]
B
Denny will draft. I can't guarantee he'll set a lineup.
- [54:28]
A
That's fine. Yeah, because.
- [54:29]
B
And then he'll never get out and back into our league.
- [54:32]
A
That's right. He will stay there forever. Or maybe he get. If he finishes last in the regulars league. Like do we. I don't know, do we. Do we send him to. Well, like what's. What's.
- [54:41]
C
We need to ask.
- [54:41]
B
So the regulars just confirmed they have two 12 man leagues. Okay, so the two 12 team leagues. Is there a order of like which one is more premium? Because then we could actually have three divisions. There's a world where Denny could end up in the second tier of ranking
- [54:56]
A
second tier division, right? Yeah, exactly. And maybe we should create a. Maybe we should create a league of nothing but Denny haters and that. Like if he finishes last, he has
- [55:07]
B
to go into that league.
- [55:08]
A
I don't know. Something to think about. I'm still at 3% by the way. It's hanging tough. God, bless.
- [55:13]
C
It's okay. Just. Just fix your 3%.
- [55:15]
A
Doesn't mean we need to do the
- [55:16]
B
show past 1 o'. Clock.
- [55:17]
C
Yes, he's in the show now.
- [55:18]
A
Yeah, okay. All right, all right, fair enough. I got it. All right, listen, we are back next Thursday. There'll be more free agent signings, of course. Follow us on social media. Hunter J. Rogers@CroucherJD. I'm Matthewberry TMR. It's closing time. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. We will see you next Thursday. Peace out.
