Selected as quarterback in Round 14 after Gino Smith went off the board; part of a thin roster that the speaker later describes as potentially a seven-running-back team.
Insight pageGeno Smith
PositiveValue33:06
Davis Mattek expressed strong conviction on Gino Smith as a third quarterback in best-ball, stating 'I'm gonna just gonna go ahead and take Gino because I don't want to miss him.'

PositiveValue48:48
Davis Mattek explicitly prefers Jeremiah Love over Kairen Williams in a draft decision, stating "I'm not scared, dude. I'm taking Jeremiah Love. I'm not taking Kairen Williams over Jeremiah Love." This represents a direct endorsement of Love's draft value relative to Williams, indicating confidence in Love as the superior option between the two running backs.
Insight pageJordan Love
NegativeValue61:59
Mattek expresses regret about draft timing for Jordan Love, suggesting he should have waited longer to acquire the quarterback rather than taking him when he did: "Maybe I should have just waited to take Jordan Love. I think maybe that was that was a bummer." This indicates Love may have been drafted earlier than optimal value.
Insight pageJosh Jacobs
PositiveInjury9:09
Davis Mattek reports that court case news regarding Josh Jacobs moving up is positive evidence that he will not be out for the entire season; the source views the legal development as clearing the path for Jacobs' availability.
Insight pageJustin Jefferson

Insight pageKeon Coleman
NegativeProjection31:31

Insight pageKyler Murray
PositiveProjection26:16
Davis Mattek selects Kyler Murray over Baker Mayfield at quarterback in his draft. Murray is also listed among week-one waiver wire options and appears in Mattek's final draft roster as a quarterback selection.

Insight pageMatthew Stafford
PositiveValue60:00
Mattek actively targets Matthew Stafford in the draft due to scarcity concerns, expressing worry about missing him and not being able to acquire him later: "Did I miss on Stafford? Where did Stafford go? Wait, can I still take him? I don't even have to take him here, but I probably won't get him back. I'm just going to take Stafford because I don't think I'll get him back." This indicates Stafford is undervalued relative to his draft availability and Mattek's conviction to secure him.
Insight pageParker Washington
PositiveValue13:27
Host reacts positively to receiving Parker Washington in a draft trade, calling the acquisition 'insane,' indicating strong approval of the wide receiver's draft value. Washington also appears among week-one waiver wire options in best-ball draft context.

NegativeValue72:44
Drafted as part of a BBM roster that the speaker later evaluates as thin and potentially seven-running-back heavy, suggesting suboptimal roster construction.
Insight pageTreVeyon Henderson
NegativeInjury55:04
Trevon Henderson apparently might not play week one, creating a draft decision point at the back end of round six; Mattek acknowledges the injury concern but still considers him a value at that ADP despite the availability risk, asking "how do you pass on Trevon Henderson at the back end of round six."

Episode Transcript
0:00All right, boys.
0:02All right.
0:04Some of the comments yesterday, you guys were saying I was being dramatic. You guys were saying, "Oh, he knows. He knows what's going on. He
0:15knows it's no big deal. Oh, it's it's going to be the influencers. Oh, whatever. Whatever."
0:23I I I was not being I think you guys can now safely say I was not being dramatic.
0:28I will say one of the big things that is different from yesterday, this is this is legitimately true. While I was
0:36streaming yesterday, so after I started that stream, you know, I already was thinking that not good things were on the horizon,
0:46right? That was that was certainly a big part a big part of what I was thinking, right? was that bad things
0:56were on the horizon in but but in the middle of my stream someone texted me in a
1:05group chat and said Missouri is on the ban list. So, in the middle of in the middle of my stream yesterday, I don't even I don't even
1:16remember exactly when it was, but in the middle of my stream yesterday, it was it was being communicated to me that I would live in
1:28a band territory, which so one, I mean, I don't know. I don't know what what shape any of this stuff
1:38is going to take. Obviously, I'm very much on the outside looking in and I'm going to take it day by day the same way
1:49uh the rest of you guys are. I mean, I'm still going to play a lot of baseball, but I don't know
1:57what underdog contest will look like next year. I don't know what DraftKings contests will look like next year. I don't know what drafters will look like
2:07next year. I I would assume honestly my guess would be a lot of stuff is going to look a lot different because the
2:17seven states that were banned included Ohio and Pennsylvania,
2:27which is about 25% of the user base.
2:31Ohio and Pennsylvania are massive, massive gaming states.
2:36massive, so it's a pretty big chunk of the of the user base. Um, what I will say
2:48is I actually do tend to believe when Jeremy says that he would like to have drafts back.
2:59Um, it's it's baseball banned specifically in those states because those states are basically what happened
3:07is underdog traded their fantasy license in for a prediction market license. Um, DraftKings also offers prediction
3:19markets. They will not be in the same scenario though because DraftKings has a lot more money and a lot more lawyers.
3:26Underdog is a big successful company, but DraftKings is a big big big company with lots of lawyers and lots of
3:37lobbyists.
3:39So, I think slightly different stuff there. I also think DraftKings cares less.
3:45Wow. Is Chess Liam in this? Chess. Okay, Liam is in this.
3:51Is Liam Is Liam autodrafting? That's the question.
3:57I think Liam I think Liam might be autodrafting. We're going to find out.
4:00But uh yes, so I am drafting on because I maxed baseball mania yesterday. So I am drafting on drafters.com.
4:09There is a promo code that gets you in using promo code Davis if you would like
4:17100% deposit bonus there. Um, if you're interested, I will be I will be drafting some of these best baseball survival
4:27contests on drafters for the next couple days. Obviously, starting I mean, starting Monday, we are going to
4:37do our inseason content. So, it's going to be time to do the inseason content starting on Monday. So, things are going
4:45to look a little bit different around here in in a in in a good way. right? In a good way.
4:53In a in a in a way, I would say for me personally, obviously, it's it's decent timing for this very bad news to come
5:03out at the end of drafting season. Um, yes. So, if you live in a banned state, you can still cross a border and go
5:12register in a legal jurisdiction if if you would like. Wow. And Liam has Jamar
5:19Chase ranked over Bjan Robinson.
5:27Would I trade Swift and Adun for Justin Jefferson? I would do that with an absolute fury. I would do that. I would do that
5:37so quick, brother.
5:40Man, I uh Oh, so I have a I have a home league I have a home league draft tomorrow and I'm thinking I I might stream it.
5:50I'm thinking I'm thinking I might stream my home league draft.
5:57Uh see, so I also I don't I don't know if I I don't know if I think this is fair. I don't I don't think it's fair to
6:04say that they don't care about baseball or they don't care about drafts anymore.
6:08I I would say to me from the outside that seems unfair.
6:14I think they made the wisest financial decision that they could, you know, um prediction markets and pick them and sports books, like that stuff
6:25just makes a lot more money.
6:30I just Yeah, I just think I just think we need to be honest about like we all love drafts. We all love to draft, but
6:38most people don't. They really the thing is most people don't have the patience for it.
6:44Most people do not want to sit around and do a draft. They want to click and do, you know, tennis pickums.
6:57But, uh, yeah. So, we're going to do a little bit of drafters. We are going to do a little bit of um
7:04little bit of DraftKings. I think I've got two DraftKings main event drafts left. Main Event FPC
7:13on the brain.
7:19Um honestly, two meals in a cart. It honestly it honestly depends. Um, no. I mean, I I will still probably do
7:30I'll still probably I mean, I'll probably play some BRs. I don't know if I will I don't know if I will max enter Battle
7:39Royale, you know. We'll we'll see. We'll see on that.
7:48But we will we will I we're going to play it by ear. I think a lot of this stuff I I did not I did not ponder
7:58drafts changing this year. Um who do I want to take? I'm g take Pickkins. I'm going to take Pickins with Bejon.
8:08Um I So I am not I am not in a I am not in a state that lost its fantasy license. I
8:15live in I live in Missouri. Uh promo promo code Davis is live on on Fast Draft. Ball is live if you want to use
8:25it. It's uh it's live right now.
8:30I'll probably draft a little on Fast Draft as well. Uh I don't think I don't think I don't think anyone I don't think
8:36anyone knows what the site credit stuff is is like.
8:41Um so Nippy in Canada there are several provinces that already don't allow underdog drafts. I believe Ontario where my friends
8:52uh so Corey, Sammy Stacks, and Danny who all are in the flock league, those guys
9:03are all live in a in a band province.
9:09Uh, so the news for Jacobs yesterday was actually fairly good. If you have already drafted a bunch of Josh Jacobs,
9:20I wouldn't say I am necessarily planning on drafting a ton of Josh Jacobs this year in the next like four days, which I
9:28do still have I do still have drafts to do. Um, you know what? Week 14 buy in the survival. I actually love
9:37correlating the Cowboys there.
9:42I don't know. What do What do you guys think on Jacobs? I I think this court case moving up is clear evidence that he
9:48is going to um not be not be out for the entire season this year. I mean, I could be I could be
9:56wrong.
10:01Well, I mean, I would say my one of my very good friends has been influenced uh affected by this because
10:11Peter Overset lives in Massachusetts.
10:14So, big bummer there. Looking forward to tomorrow's stream, the middle, and I just played Jimmy Eats World. I think tomorrow it'll just be business as
10:22usual.
10:25I think tomorrow we just go back to normal normal drafting. I mean, we'll hang out. We'll do we'll do whatever.
10:32Maybe we'll do Maybe we'll do DK. I don't know. Maybe we'll do Fast Draft.
10:37There's uh Do you guys There There are places to play basketball. Do you guys even know about this, bro? Do you guys
10:45even know about baseball tens?
10:48Uh oh. Best baseball tens doesn't exist anymore, but now it's on the the NFC.
10:55So, the NF the NFC has a baseball championship. There you go. Here's a here's a 10K best baseball.
11:03Um, FFPC has best baseball. There are there are places to play basketball.
11:14What is VORP? Value over replacement player.
11:24rip cash baseball and sleeper with viewers. I still might do that. I still might do that, Slim, because I gotta say
11:35I I know this is crazy, but the the stuff on my reddraft channel, I'm going to take Luther Burden and I'm going to
11:42give Liam DJ Moore. Guarantee guarantee Liam snap picks DJ Moore right here.
11:50Um, I still might do the leagues with viewers on my reddraft channel because the reddraft channel has been so much
12:01fun and people love it, dude.
12:05I love Look, I love you guys and I love baseball and I love drafting and I love streaming, but people freaking love the
12:14reddraft stuff, dude.
12:17This is my my baseball channel has never gotten 300,000 views in a month before.
12:261,800 subscribers in the in the previous 28 days.
12:32Um, yeah, I so the the reddraft channel is going to be taking a big part of my of my of my focus
12:43for sure. Not that I not that I will never stop streaming because streaming is like I I just love it. I just think
12:49this is it's so I I get so much joy out of it, but the reddrap channel for sure is going to be a big part of of my plans
13:00for next year. I probably honestly I can't even believe I'm saying this, but I actually like TF Ferg less in tight
13:07end premium. Wow, Liam gave me Parker Washington, too. Insane.
13:14Yeah. No this so it is true views views right now are um are cra views I would
13:22say views are basically like 30% inflated I think I personally like starting out of the 12
13:33hole more than the four hole. Me, me personally, I actually I actually slightly prefer cuz the fourhole when you come back
13:43around in the second round, you there's probably not anyone you really like there.
13:52I'm a reddraft dad. I can't afford to play baseball like this time and moneywise. Exactly, dude. Exactly. And you know what? I am I am also a dad and
14:03frankly I probably don't want to draft 3,000 basketball teams next year. I'm thinking I'm thinking probably a thousand best baseball drafts next year.
14:14Does that seem reasonable?
14:18Uh what are my thoughts on this format?
14:19I've been treating it as a week 17 is all that matters and the picks like Tyson and Jacobs are better picks. Um,
14:29that's an interesting. That's really interesting. So, I definitely have not been treating it like week 17 is all that matters, but and and so Tyson and
14:36Jacobs wouldn't be quote unquote um better better picks, but I do think that you do want to be drafting, you
14:48know, BBM style potted teams where ceiling is very very important in this in this Survivor format.
15:00First year I'm doing reddraft with my daughter. She had a blast doing the draft. See, that's so that sounds so sick to me.
15:08It's Liam. Liam did uh Liam did pass on on DJ Moore. I don't comment much on your streams religious uh but I watch your streams religiously.
15:20Don't watch much baseball during the season, but I'll pivot to the reddraft content. So, I haven't done any Superflex drafts yet, but I'm actually
15:29in the middle of an industry superflex league right now. And so, I I plan on doing a um a video of this draft. So, I
15:39have a draft with Kyle Devorch, Roat, Dwayne from Fantasy Life, Matt Harmon.
15:45Um hold on, I got to make this pick. I kind of need a running back here. We're going to do Dowel.
15:51uh Ian Harditz, Silva Reeves, Sam Sherman, JJ Zachares, and Hayden Winkx.
15:59And that I I'll probably do a video about that superflex draft in on my on my reddraft channel when we get done with
16:09it.
16:13So you are uh you are you are correct that you I would say the thing that you have to get right on drafters is you absolutely
16:24have to have the league winners on drafters. Like you would not have won last year without CMC and Jackson Smith and Jigba.
16:35Honestly honestly I have no idea if more states will will come in this direction.
16:40Like I obvious I think obviously we can tell from the outside how important um the prediction markets is to the to the
16:48group that purchased underdog. But you know from my perspective I just have always thought drafts are such a good
16:58customer acquisition tool and it's such a good way to it's such a good way to keep people on your app. Like I'm on the underdog app
17:09freaking How many times a day am I checking the underdog app?
17:14No, I am I'm still going to be doing some underdog drafts. I'm just not doing it right now because I got to draft more
17:21contests brother.
17:23I I was always I mean I was always going to be doing drafters drafts. Uh is there any chance that I get Dak around at 94?
17:33You know what? We We're going to I'm going to try and push it one time.
17:38I'm gonna try and push it. I'm going to take Jaden Reed because the CD team has Jaden Daniels. So, we're going to try
17:44and push it.
17:51So, I will I will continue to do underdog drafts as long as I am able to do so. Like, as long as
18:03Missouri is a a place that it's allowed to do. Um, I mean I I have always I have always loved Underdog. I mean I've known I've known
18:12uh Jeremy for a long time. I've known a lot of people involved in that company for a long time. I I
18:19you know and they're uh the I just I can't be mad at them for making the right business decision. It's it's not a decision that is is fun for
18:30me, but I can't be mad at them for doing the thing that's going to make them more money.
18:37I mean, this is why so so I personally do a huge majority of my props action on underdog just because I already have
18:49money on there.
18:54Uh, no. Underdog. Underdog is not dead, but there are um but there are 20
19:06or sorry, seven states starting September 10th that are not allowed to enter basketball contests.
19:21Well, this this is it's uh this this would not technically be allowed to for me to draft as like a a
19:29proxy or whatever, but I I don't know. I have not I have not talked to Peter.
19:34Pete is um Pete is on vacation, so I haven't talked to him.
19:45It's true. There is uh there is a draft feature on drafters.
19:53Welcome to the draft. Good luck. Hello, Chess Liam.
19:59There is there is a there is a chat feature which is very funny. Brings me brings me back.
20:08I mean I assume the week one BR is coming out on Monday.
20:26Uh, I don't I don't have any concept of if it'll make drafts softer or harder.
20:32And I also don't I also don't really I I'm mean I'm Okay, who took Dak? This Why did this guy take Dak? I I just
20:43don't think I have enough information on if baseball mania will be dead or not.
20:50I don't know if I don't know if it makes a ton of sense to just do away with a functioning product. You know what I'm
20:56saying? Damn. And Lawrence went I'm getting I'm getting rad over the coals here lads.
21:05Um I'm taking Bill here.
21:13I'm very proud of you for getting Parker Washington in the seventh.
21:18I don't know. I don't know if it would definitely get smaller. I think one of the things that might make sense would
21:24for it to be just baseball mania, but I don't, you know, I I don't know.
21:34I I really I really don't know.
21:37I like I like I said, I think baseball is a good loss leader. It is a good marketing tool regardless. And I
21:48believe Jeremy when he says we want drafts to be available in these things. It was just like an unfortunate reality of the situation that we were in
21:58that we had to we had to pick and choose, you know.
22:07The prediction markets are the prediction markets. I'm going to take Mahomes here. The prediction markets are the thing. It's exactly what he said.
22:14The prediction markets are the money maker. Drafts are a much smaller part of their business. They like drafts. Drafts was the first product they had.
22:25It's it's I mean frankly it's just one of the unfortunate realities of like when something in your life
22:35becomes political you have to realize all the stuff that exists in other people's lives that is political but like this this is
22:45I mean this is politics impacting your real life right now.
22:52Yeah. So, the way that Drafters works, Rob, is it is just weeks one through 17 full scoring in their main contest. This
22:59contest I'm drafting right now is a little bit different. Oh, no. I did not mean to do that. This league that I'm
23:06drafting right now is uh is a little bit different. Let me see if I can pull the Sorings up here. It's called the Best
23:12Ball Survival Contest.
23:14So, every week of the 28,000 entrance or 21,000 entrance, no. Yeah, 28,000, 70 or uh 25% of the
23:26field gets chopped every week all the way down to week 17 leading to a 125 person final.
23:38Uh, what happened is seven states no longer have access to draft games.
23:48My thoughts on Jacob Sailors are that if they never trade if they if they don't trade for James
23:58Connor or anyone else, Jacob Sailors probably honestly is a pretty good pick. Whoever is the running back too for the Detroit Lions
24:08is probably a pretty good pick.
24:20No, it did not affect Florida as far as I know.
24:25Do we think we see tanking this year towards the end of the season with the draft being so strong? I mean, there are
24:29just there are just teams that are worse than you would anticipate.
24:34I I think there I think there are a lot of of bad teams.
24:43Uh what do we do here?
24:47Momes.
24:49Is Kelsey there?
24:52Kelsey is there. Wow. Aronda. Okay. I was going to say something is wrong with my ranks to see Gadston there. There we
24:58go. Travis Kelsey.
25:01Yeah, I'm taking Kelsey first and then whichever quarterback gets around to me.
25:08Wow, a new a new eight-part Egitha the Christie series is about to drop. No, but I probably will watch that.
25:16What happened at taking a break today?
25:18Honestly, I had a I had a pretty good day. Hung out with my wife and kid all day. Basically
25:26went to the pool. uh made my made my reddraft video this morning, had a nice dinner, and I said, "You know what? We'll go
25:38ahead and fire up a stream." And I did also just want to make sure to get the the drafters promo code out there to
25:44people as well because I think there obviously are some people in affected states who would still like to do some best baseball drafts. And if you want to
25:53do some best drafts, here you go. Just sign up. you get a 100% deposit bonus on Drafters using code Davis.
26:03Uh yeah, I did I did some of the Drafters dailies last year. Yosh, I didn't I didn't like max them or
26:10anything, but I did a couple.
26:13Uh do I want to take Baker or Kyler? I'm gonna take Kyler.
26:17The um the format is a little different if I remember correctly. I believe I believe the roster size is larger in the
26:27in the drafters dailies.
26:42Uh so the promo code for drafters is only first-time deposits, but if you already have an account, Davis 10 also works for a
26:53small deposit. Uh I think Davis 10 gets you a 10% red depot.
27:02Uh how many am I planning on ripping? I don't know. We're We're going to we're going to find out. I mean, I'm going to
27:06stream I am going to stream on Labor Day.
27:16So, we'll probably draft I'll I'll probably rip a couple on DraftKings and then I'll probably rip a couple more of these Survivors on Labor Day.
27:27Um, as far as far as I can tell, the reason that DraftKings is still in those markets and Underdog
27:34is not is due to the predict the way I mean, I think it's literally just politics. I I would actually probably
27:44need someone else to explain this to me, but I do I do literally think it is um politics.
27:59How many tokens to vibe code a new basketball site? More tokens than I have. Uh what what I am what I am
28:07working on is I am actually already working on the flock fantasy best baseball tool for next year. Yes, correct. I I believe I believe that this
28:18is accurate. It's that DraftKings is paying the states the sports betting money and I I think Underdog decided to not pay for both because it's very
28:28expensive. I think that's something that is a little bit missed here is fantasy gaming licenses are pretty expensive.
28:38I I know that going going way I mean I've been I I've obviously been doing this for a very long time.
28:45Um, I mean, I've been doing this I've been doing this for so long. I remember when
28:53New York banned daily fantasy sports like salary cap DFS got uh got banned
29:05and that was uh that was a a whole thing.
29:28Can we color code? Uh, so yes.
29:31Basically, this is what I'm hoping I'm hoping that next year's iteration of the Flock Fantasy best baseball tool will
29:41have some sort of like this is the best pick for your roster feature. That is what I hope, Greg.
29:52I've I've already I've already started working on it. Um, and gonna, you know, obviously going to run through a bunch of it with the devs and much smarter
30:00people than me. But that is that is the hope.
30:07What you are all missing is that the game of tournament has several major flaws that compare poorly to other options. It's been propped up by early
30:16winners and site credits. I know you're I look I know this person is just trolling, but this is this is
30:26this is the kind of stuff that does make people like not want to be on the internet. Just like anyone can say
30:34anything on the internet. Yeah, man. You can fake interest in a $15 million prize pool. Sure, dude. Sure.
30:43Yeah. People like baseball, dude. It's It's a fun game. Basketball is very fun to play.
30:52We all We all enjoy it.
31:09Yes, the I had to I had to turn the drafter's audio off personally.
31:14It's uh it's too um it's too it's it's too loud for me.
31:25What if Keon Coleman goes for 1510? Do we think Liam will draft Keon Coleman in this one?
31:32See, this is this is like obviously like I agree with this. The best the best part of fantasy is the drafts.
31:41Uh the Sooners, the Sooners are looking great. The Sooners absolutely smashed yesterday. It was beautiful. It was a beautiful game. Matier looked
31:50great. Lloyd Devont looked great. The defense looked great. Um man, I you want to know who looked great? Here's a guy. Here's a guy who
31:59really already started to look the part for me. Uh Jeremiah Jeremy Jeremiah Johnson, the tight end from Oregon. the guy who funnily enough
32:10as I select Kenyan Sadi kept Kenyan Sadi from going all out. Um he had a really nice seam touchdown today
32:21against Bowling or against Bowling Green against Boise State. Jamari Johnson, thank you Jamari Johnson.
32:29Oh man, week one week one waivers is also is also great.
32:41All right. Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Bejan Robinson, Jvonte Williams, Rico Dattle, Jakory Krosk, Mr. Woody Marx, George Pickkins, Luther Burden, Parker Washington, Jaden Reed, Adnai
32:51Mitchell, Travis Kelce, and Kenyan Sadique.
32:57Beautiful.
32:59Um, do I want to take a third quarterback now?
33:06Yeah, I'm gonna just gonna go ahead and take Gino because I don't want to miss him.
33:15Uh, do I prefer unstacked Kyler or unstacked Pery to golf with St. Brown? I I Yeah, I probably slightly slightly
33:26slightly prefer Unstacked Party.
33:31Um, I assume that Chess Liam is is autoing. Yeah, I think so.
33:45Best thing about week one waiverss is dude spending 60% of fab on some dude who pops off week one. I think we're
33:51we're we're probably better at fantasy now.
33:56I think I think we're I think we are just slightly better at fantasy football now.
34:01Like who's the last guy that was a huge mega week one smash that went for a bunch of fab and then
34:11went to zero.
34:16I love best ball for the big prize pools and best ball seems to smooth out the pros edge. Well, in a in a mega mega
34:24size field, in a 600,000 entry field, even if you have so like you could run a
34:33sim wherein you were 10 times better than the average person at best. Like literally, you are the best baseball player of all time. And you could run a
34:45sim where over a 10-year period, the best player in baseball of all, like the Michael Jordan of best baseball drafting
34:55could very very easily lose money in in 10 years of baseball mania tournaments, you know, cuz that's just it's just so
35:08it's just so high variance. I mean, if you cuz if you let's say let's say over a 10-year period, the best player in
35:18baseball made finals three times and you never won or never got top 10,
35:26you would lose money, you know.
35:31Uh I guess I don't know what it can get to be like. It can get to be like 50,000 or whatever.
35:38Uh oh. Frimmouth is an awesome pick here. Oh, wow. And this guy's thing is snipe fantasy. And he did just snipe me.
35:49All right, we're going to do I actually like Ted Hurst here.
35:57I did not call myself the Michael Jordan of best baseball. I think we all know I think we all know Chess Liam is the
36:03Michael Jordan of best baseball.
36:08I always do my FFPC main event the day before the Sunday games week one. Yeah, I'm gonna do I'm going to do mine on
36:17I'm going to do mine on Friday.
36:28Yeah, it's true. True. Used to be used to be worse when you didn't make the max entry feedback. That's uh that's true.
36:41All right, let's do let's just do Helm. Helm is a good pick.
36:55Oh, I did not realize that my sounds were on. There you go. Okay. Sorry. The the draft sounds are now muted.
37:03Damn. Hey, give a give a give a thumbs up to GJG who is in Pennsylvania.
37:15I'd like to uh I would like to to say one thing that that uh Liam reminded me of,
37:26which is that Florida didn't have underdog drafts for like three weeks. I think this was like I
37:37think this was like a year ago.
37:40And they did get it back.
37:43So again, I am inclined to think that if it is costneutral or even maybe slightly cost negative,
37:53there is still like I I don't know. I just think it's such a good mark it's such a good marketing product that it's probably worth it to
38:04spend a little bit of money to have access to it.
38:10Yeah, New York had that for a couple weeks as well. It's It's happened multiple times.
38:19Well, the the the issue is is that it it's not that much. It's just not
38:30it's not that easy. It's not straightforward to get drafts to return in a given state.
38:39Is DK really that much worse than UD for best baseball? I don't I mean, you know, that would be that would be what you
38:46would call, sir, a matter of opinion.
38:52And you're going to you're going to get lots of people's you're going to get lots of people's opinions on that.
39:04Hey, pouring pouring one out for you, brother. I'm thinking of you.
39:10How close to the How close to the border are you?
39:18All right, we need at least one more running back. Wow. Do I take Caleb Johnson? I mean, if it's Caleb Johnson
39:26or it's Alani, I'm taking Caleb Johnson.
39:28I do still think he's a little he's a little bit I think he's a little bit of a click.
39:38We have baseball in Utah, but we don't have weed.
39:42I was um so I was actually in Utah uh this summer. And Utah is a weird place.
39:52the the western the western part of the United States is so different from where I live. The Midwest and the West are
40:00like two different places. It's actually it's actually kind of wild how different they are.
40:07All right, do we wrap this up with Oh, Taekquin. What a what a great round 19 pick Taekquin is.
40:16Yes, the the UD interface has always been very nice and very clean, which is something that uh that people have always that people have always really
40:27liked about it.
40:31Using a wrist up as a solemn put your wrist up, put your wrist up for all our our fallen drafting brothers. Yeah, that
40:40is a good bit.
40:4430 minutes from West Virginia. Can you do underdog drafts in West Virginia? I honestly don't know.
40:52Uh Josh is in Charlotte, North Carolina.
41:00Hey, we are we are we're feeling better than we did yesterday. So, I I said this I said this at the beginning of the
41:09stream but a big reason why I was so miserable
41:14yesterday was not only did I have the like the Pete thing,
41:26but it had been communicated to me through a back channel that Missouri was going to be on the bann list. So what happened was I believe the
41:37person who communicated to me that Missouri, which is the state that I live in, is in a banned state. I believe they
41:46mistook the MI for Michigan and thought it was Missouri.
41:52And so they said, "Hey, Missouri is going to be the list." To be to be fair,
42:02there were a lot of M states. I I think you got to say it was like all the M states, right? It was like all the M
42:08states. So, I'm not Hey, I think uh I would I would rather I would rather have had that be the news?
42:20No, there's no there's no there's no refunding happen because your entries are still live.
42:27All living in a banned state means is you can't draft when you're in that state. You can still draft in any other
42:32state where drafts are live.
42:37Um, what am I going to do here? I mean, my wide receivers are not great. Is Xavian Thomas. No, Zav. I got sniped on
42:43Xavian Thomas.
42:46All right. I'm taking Brennan Thompson.
42:52All right. Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Gino Smith, Bjan Robinson, Javvante Dao, Rico Dow, Jakori Krosky, Merritt, Woody Mars, Caleb Johnson, George Pickkins, Luther Burton, Pwash,
43:03Jaden Reed, Adnai Mitchell, Ted Hurst, Taekwon Thornton, Brennan Thompson, Travis Kelce, and Kenyan Sadi, and you know what? Let's just go do one more.
43:13I'll save the I'll save the DK drafts for tomorrow. How about that?
43:21Uh, yes, you can withdraw in a banned state. Yes, you can.
43:30No, in in Missouri, you can do I I live in Missouri and I can do drafts.
43:37Uh, you can still draft until September 10th in the band states.
43:45How many Ball Mania final teams did you have, Ethan? I had zero none.
43:54Uh I would assume I will probably do another night stream tomorrow.
44:01So that will probably be probably be 700 p.m. Central time tomorrow would be would be my guess.
44:10Maybe I'll maybe I'll try and do it in the morning.
44:16But yeah, I would assume tomorrow's stream will be later.
44:27Yeah, you you don't you don't have to well, you should not admit to VPNing.
44:32That that's actually some good helpful advice. If you live in a state that has a um if you live in a state that is
44:40banned, do not do a VPN. It's a very bad idea. they will catch you and they will ban you. And not only will they ban you,
44:47they are well within their legal right to take the money that you have deposited on their website and keep it.
44:53So, professional advice from me to you.
44:56Do not break the terms of service of any of these drafting websites with a virtual personal network.
45:07I have Bill Simmons daughter's boyfriend do it for me.
45:12Respects. Hey, respect to the 30 jewels.
45:19I still am I still am too much of a boomer to fully understand the jewels and the crowns and stuff, but what I
45:30will tell you is that I do appreciate it very much. I appreciate all of appreciate all the viewers, all the
45:40supporters.
45:42Uh, yes, you can still enter slows for the double dribble for the next five days. That is true.
45:50Baseball Palanteer would not allow for Davis to be in a banned state. I actually am going to I'm I'm going to specifically
46:00message PD and I'm going to say, "Hey, man, can you just uh can you just remove my entries from baseball palunts here
46:09this year?
46:11Can you just anything anything that comes in username Davis Matic can Can that just be banned from it? Can that be
46:17excluded?
46:20What do you guys think?
46:23I just don't I don't want to be involved in Palunteer. I'd rather not.
46:30Uh I didn't even realize you stopped playing the song until I skimmed the seven hour stream.
46:38Um, what if I log in remotely to a computer located in a loud state?
46:45Ask Ask Claude. Don't ask me. I don't know.
46:52Yes. Uh, confirmed thinking about DFS will be back for next year with Jacob Sanderson. So, or for this year. So,
47:02that will be the Thursday program on this channel. You guys will you guys will get to see some of that.
47:11Uh that uh that's banned on any platform. That's wire fraud.
47:19So I would say don't do that. Don't commit professional advice again from me. Do not commit wire fraud.
47:29Please don't commit wire fraud.
47:34You guys, when you guys go out in the world, you guys, you guys represent me. Please do not commit wire fraud or any kind of
47:43fraud really. I would say good good advice in general. Don't do that. No fraud.
47:50I'm just going to keep taking neighbors.
47:51They can't stop me.
47:56Why is it banned? But you can travel to another state and enter there because it's legal in other states. You know
48:02what? I have no idea about the ship cast.
48:08I I assume that everything is proceeding as I well [ __ ] I don't know. I have I
48:16have no idea on the ship cast.
48:20I really don't.
48:24Brooks and Lloyd never really playing in the NFL is a bit scary. It is actually frankly insane, isn't it? To think that
48:31a seventh round pick and like a tenth round pick just straight up have never finished a healthy NFL game.
48:44All right, we I need a running back.
48:49You know what? I'm not scared, dude. I'm taking Jeremiah Love. I'm not taking Kairen Williams over Jeremiah Love.
48:58Wire fraud is such like a hard-boiled 1970s crime. Although it's basically wire fraud is basically like the story
49:09of sports betting and online poker.
49:12Um, dude, Dawn, bro, come on, dude. Whoa,
49:27Don. Gee, brother, what do you mean? You What do you mean?
49:33What do you mean you DNFed Infinite Jest?
49:38You are buming me out, dude. This is not what I wanted to hear.
49:44I do not I do I do not This is not something that I wanted you to hear.
49:52Has anyone done a oneweek ADP chart? I'd like a I'd like a 24hour
50:03ADP chart. Uh, Blacksuit Music, you are incorrect because you cannot operate without a gaming license. So, you are wrong. It is not a business stance. It
50:12is very much a legal stance. So, you are incorrect. But that's okay because I got to learn I learn this. I learn new stuff
50:20about this stuff every day.
50:26Don Gaitley would not be happy. He sure wouldn't.
50:32He would tell you. He would tell you to fake it till you make it with infinite jest. Brother, have I ever read death by Shellyley
50:42Kagan? I have not. Should I add this to my list?
50:49Where do I get my financial advice from?
50:54It's honestly, this is an insanely that's an insane question.
51:02Um, because the answer is that I mostly get my ad my financial advice from retired poker players.
51:14If I'm if I'm being real, it's gonna have to be after the NFL season. Got an extra job as part of the
51:22Cabal.
51:24Okay. Well, hey, that's fair.
51:28Um, do I want to do Yeah, I'm going to take PES.
51:33The little a little French accountant.
51:35Yeah, the little French guy who lives in my computer.
51:44thoughts on bankroll management for pack ribs. I gotta say I have the I oh the pack ribs man I
51:55should not me personally I there there was those were some easy clicks for me.
52:04Yeah, I just uh this is just I I I really shouldn't. This is just in this is insane stuff, but um four of the
52:12seven states in which the the stuff is banned is red states. It doesn't have anything to do with red or blue. It's
52:20just good oldfashioned politics.
52:24I would love to take B shell tootin right here. That is beautiful. Love to puke neighbors pew. We are slapping uh Mike Mattisau. I'm not taking
52:36financial advice from. My favorite retired poker player to read tweets from is Timex.
52:47You you guys again are are probably a little bit too young to remember Timex, but he is uh he's one of my he's one of
52:56my all-time legends. Mike McDonald if you want to. He's a good He's a good Twitter follow. What is his Twitter handle?
53:05Mike McDonald89.
53:09Um I have not read the book Football by Chuck Clusterman.
53:20I think I read what God Chuck Clustermanman book did I read? Did he did Clotorman write eating eating the dinosaur or something like that?
53:31Chuck Cloasterman Dinosaur.
53:36Yeah, that's the that is the only Chuck Cloman book that I have read and I would have read that
53:46in college.
53:49Ooh, this the Splash Survivor will probably overlay a little bit. I believe as part of the upcoming Friday show that I'm doing with Dave from ETR, I believe
54:00that um my plan is Oh, you know what? I actually got a ticket to enter this. So, I'm going to enter the contest using a
54:11voucher.
54:13Thank you for reminding me. The Big Splash on Splash Sports. Sign up using promo code swoleie. But, uh oh, did I
54:20lose I think I lost all my entries. I did. I lost all my entries in the Soulcast EPL Survivor. Um, yeah, I'm going to do it. I'm going to
54:29do at least one entry in the big Survivor World Championship on Splash Sports.
54:40Yes. So, it's it's important to get the right generation of retired poker players to get financial advice from.
54:52Some of them some of them found a way to make it uh last a long time and some of them did not.
55:08All right. So I have got love to puka neighbors Jackson. The quarterbacks go a little bit earlier in these I don't is is the default is the default
55:27message here alert because I don't love being called an unk. Trevian Henderson apparently might not play week one but man how do you pass on Trevon Henderson
55:35at the back end of round six.
55:38Oh beefcake. You hate to you hate to hear brother. You really you really do.
55:47I mean, I feel I as someone who has been rugpulled with poker and and these things in the past, it just it really
55:56does it really does suck. No, I do not I do not make the uh the Uncle Alert.
56:03Makeup brush.
56:05Makeup brush may be better than Uncle Alert. I don't know.
56:09True. 75% advancement week one. Anyways, Hendo might not play all year cap.
56:25Um, do I take May here? It's after ADP.
56:29I have a Patriot. There's no other obvious. Yeah, I am.
56:38I played in an online poker tourney and passed on BTC because I've never heard of it. You I'm sure you would not be the
56:45only one. I mean, everyone everyone has their Bitcoin story. Mine is that I was on a Bitcoin only sports
56:54book in 2014 and I wagered I wagered uh half a bitcoin on the Dallas Cowboys to beat
57:06the Cincinnati Bengals at home and the Cincinnati which was like 50 bucks at the time and the um
57:16Dallas Cowboys lost by 15 didn't score in the first half.
57:22That's my That's That's my lost generational wealth early one with Missouri excluded. How does this
57:32impact me? Is this the entirety of UD having less breath? I don't uh I don't really think any of us know. Joking.
57:43I don't really think any of us know. I think educated educated guesses would be best baseball ends up being
57:52smaller next year and that it doesn't seem that baseball is a
58:02huge priority. But that could also be wrong.
58:09So I don't I don't really know.
58:12I am not directly impacted right now in the sense that I'm still able to draft underdog drafts. I am more directly
58:19impacted because I think it changes the amount of people that are even interested in baseball period, which is obviously what matters.
58:38Do I eat sauerkraut? I don't even know the context of this question. This is probably this is probably um it's honestly probably just like uh
58:49you're probably trolling me, but a bunch of studies have been done that fermented foods are insanely good for you. Like very good for your gut, which is good
59:01for your brain, which is good for your overall health. And so the answer to do I eat sauerkraut is yes.
59:11It's uh it's it's good for you.
59:16Yeah. And also a lot of states could just straight up copy policy from Massachusetts and that so it just ends up that that is that is a real thing. I
59:24mean just anytime you start bringing politicians who don't understand going to take Matthew go just anytime you start bringing politicians into
59:33something like this things go sideways quickly.
59:43Um the honest answer to am I still going to cover BR is probably no.
59:52But I probably wasn't going to be doing too much BR stuff anyway because the
60:03the appetite for battle royale content is much lower than you might think.
60:12You know, this is uh this is a a great point from Michael, which is that the CFTC regulations are literally changing
60:18weekly. There's a ton of ongoing legis uh litigation there. There's totally a chance that this stuff
60:27changes, you know.
60:34Did I miss on Stafford? Where did Stafford go? Wait, can I still take him?
60:40I don't even have to take him here, but I probably won't get him back.
60:45I'm just going to take Stafford because I don't think I'll get him back.
60:52Um, I will be doing I'll be doing both.
60:59I'll be doing I probably will be doing a little bit more DFS stuff on this channel and then all the I mean probably
61:06a daily video on the reddraft channel.
61:14Well, thank you. See, this is I don't have I don't have the flock tool set up for drafters.
61:20So, I didn't I did not know that uh May and Stafford share by. So, I will have to take a third quarterback, but
61:29I appreciate my dude Max is on fire letting me know.
61:35Uh as as far as I know, as far as I know, there will be a DFS cast this week. as far as I know.
61:50True. You can see it next to their name, but as as is well as is well covered here. You guys know sometimes I forget
61:59how to read.
62:03Who wins the season opener?
62:06The new uh no, the Seattle Seahawks.
62:10All right. May Stafford, Love, Tooten, Hendo, Puka, Neighbors, Pewash, and Golden.
62:21Maybe I should have just waited to take Jordan Love. I think maybe that was that was a bummer. As someone who lives
62:29in a state where I lose BR drafts, a stream before the 10th, be greatly appreciated. Okay. Well, hey, maybe we'll do one on Tuesday or something.
62:42Patriots are I do I do not I'm not to be a hater, but I do agree that
62:51the Patriots are are fairly live for a let down season. I do sun running against a schedule
63:02that easy.
63:05Pretty easy to do. Will Campbell with his little baby arms.
63:10I mean, I'm sure they're gonna be I'm sure they are going to be fine.
63:16I would I would assume the size of the BR probably does change. I would think it almost it almost has to,
63:25but maybe not. I don't know.
63:31They are live for more showouts. I still think they're going to be really good for fantasy.
63:39Uh, any of my quarterbacks?
63:45None of the quarterbacks here make sense right?
63:51Tooten and Crod together. Woke or broke?
63:54Toot tootin and C-rod together.
64:03Hey, respect Diesel.
64:08Diesel thyself. Hey, respect. All right.
64:12Don says it's woke.
64:17I don't know if the first NFL game is that fun because when we watch these two teams play like six months ago, it was a
64:24horrible game.
64:33Uh, well, Missouri, so Missouri did not get removed. Um, Massachusetts got removed. The big ones are Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan.
64:44There were seven states that were removed. Uh, go read Jeremy Lavine's tweet.
64:52You know, it was it was nice they let them have that Super Bowl.
64:57I gotta say it was it was nice.
65:03It was nice they let him have it even though the Chiefs weren't in it, you know. I'm glad I'm glad they got to have
65:08that moment. I think that was I think that was really fun for all of them. I'm going to take Goddard here.
65:16But things will be things will be rectified this year. Mahomes will take his rightful place,
65:25you know, a top a top the throne.
65:31Yeah, they they let them do it. Um I don't know how to tell you this, Troy, but Claude Claude lied to you.
65:42Starting September 10th, no baseball drafts. No drafts. No drafts, period. If you are in a state where underdog does
65:51not have a fantasy gaming license, Missouri was not removed. Yosh, I was I was told bad information. Someone messaged me yesterday telling me that
66:02Missouri was on the band list. Missouri not on the band list.
66:15You can just say 20 points. Jerryian Price scores the same in PPR versus nonPPR.
66:24Imagine the ship chasing stream on Monday when Davis has two teams in the top five going into that game. In what?
66:29In what format?
66:32I hope you're talking about the week 17 one.
66:38I never I don't even I don't even know what the the context for this is, but a good reopen the schools joke always gets
66:44me. A good reopen the schools joke will always be there. I love it.
66:55I have a tweet of misinfo to delete.
66:57Well, hey, maybe in the spirit of the day, boy, was Twitter bad today. I mean, you got to say in general,
67:05Twitter at its Twitter at its baseline is always bad.
67:11It's I I wish that I could delete like the part of my brain that needs to be on Twitter because Twitter um at its at its
67:20baseline is the worst.
67:24But today was extra bad.
67:30How many years have you taken the team to the BBM finals? Zero.
67:37Zero years. zero times in seven years, brother.
67:45Um, where's Okay, Malik already went now. Trey T. Take Trey Tucker. I can get
67:58Mendoza.
68:05What is my highest scoring EPL basketball team?
68:09Does it sort by high score?
68:13Because I can go look at my live tab.
68:18FIFA if it sorts by highest score.
68:25354 352 350. Yes, my highest is 358.
68:33Embueno, Elilanga Yonisa Saslai Dooberry Hall.
68:41Wow. All my midfielders contributing points. Respect.
68:45Na. Wow. Why does this only have three defenders? What was I cooking?
68:50This is a terrible team. That team is awful.
68:55Maybe this one's better. Harry Wilson, Watera Damsgard Rutter Nicholas Jackson, Sabaslide, Tavern, Jaca, Alex Scott.
69:06There we go. Much better.
69:09Josh King, baby.
69:12Oh, I'm up. It's my pick. Um, shoot.
69:16Well, oh, that is okay. Well, that's as bad as it gets.
69:26That is as bad as it gets. Autodrafting a Ronda Gatson at 148 to go look at EPLL basketball teams.
69:39You you truly you truly hate to see it.
69:45It happens to the best of us. It happens to the worst of us.
69:49Not not loving that.
69:57Push the plane.
70:00Ronda Badston.
70:03No, it's that that was all me. That's all me, brother. Yosh, you are you are okay. I'm I mean I had a I have a deal
70:12with the guys at Drafters to do streams this week anyway.
70:17So, it's kind of just a nice little bit of serendipity if if you will.
70:25Um honestly, do you want to know do you want to know why Gadson is the auto pick at 148? because I did rankings for the
70:34drafters pre-draft stuff that uh I did, you know, six months ago or whatever. I did 150
70:45entries in this and then I autoed some in the early mini basketball championship and I I liked
70:54I liked Aronda Gadston six months ago.
71:01I was I was think I was hoping he would be on the first team and and my my bad ranks are still um in there. Uh
71:11use promo code swoleley smurfastic. That would be that would be a great help to myself to Peter Overzette and David Kitchen.
71:22Uh, underset. He did.
71:26That's very funny.
71:33Please respect me in these trying times.
71:40Underzed is just all one of the funniest funniest moves.
71:49Um, at your darkest after the season was over, have you ever pulled up a BBM draft and looked at what could have
71:54been? Never.
71:58Never. No, I have not. Really couldn't imagine doing so, honestly. Why would I Why would I want to know?
72:13Also, I just don't think I I've been very very close to having some good teams on DraftKings, but I've never been
72:19that close to having a million-dollar team on it. Like all my teams that have gotten to the semi-finals in BBM. Oh
72:26god. Pure and Jaden Higgins were on the first team I showed. See, I you don't even want to know. See, that's the
72:32thing. Why would you even want to know?
72:34It's no good can come of it.
72:44H. Okay. I need to take a quarterback here. It's probably going to be Gino. Is Sadique still on the board? Okay. Yes.
72:53All right. Round 14.
72:56Gino just went. Oh, okay. I'm gonna take Mendoza then.
73:05All right. We have got Drake May, Matt Stafford, Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiah Love, Belle Tutin, Trevian Henderson, Crod Pukanakua, Malik Neighbors, PE
73:15Wash, Matthew Golden, Trey Tucker, Dallas GD, and Aronda Gadston. Do I have an Audible account? Yes, I do. I like audiobooks.
73:26Hot take. Most people don't really like audiobooks um or they listen to like crap on them. I've listened to some good
73:35audio books and I tell you like when I'm doing um like yard work or if I have to get up on my roof and
73:47you know get a clean my gutters or whatever like like if I'm doing stuff around the house on the weekend or
73:53running errands or whatever and I can just put something on for like four hours.
74:00I like I like doing that. So hot take audiobooks to me are good. I listen to the Confessions of St. Augustine on
74:10audiobook. And who do I take here? Oh, I'm gonna Oh, no. Not Sadique. Not Sadi. No.
74:20Uh Dylan Samson. And it was done in this um it it was uh this this really delightful
74:31English accent. I don't know, you know, I don't know like whatever province or whatever it was from, but a really good
74:36English accent and it really uh really made it. Although obviously St.
74:42Augustine would not have spoke with an English accent. He would it would have been cuz he was from he was from like southern Spain, right?
74:59He was born where?
75:02Present present day Algeria. Yeah. So, he would not have had an English accent at all, but yeah, it was really good. Hey, new
75:12member.
75:14Thumbs up to my dude Smurptastic.
75:18Theo von before the money. This podcast sucks.
75:24Theo von before the money. Isn't Theo Von like 60?
75:29Thank you for tuning in though, brother.
75:34Underdog brass saw what Davis did with the blindfold and knew needed things to change.
75:42Thumbs down to this guy. Hey, it's a free world, brother. You're spending your Saturday night listening to something you don't even like.
75:54Do you think drafters will start doing more underdog type contests because of all this? I have no idea. I wouldn't surprise me if their big tournament was
76:03a little bigger next year or if they got uh an influx of users.
76:11All right, Drake May, Matt Stafford, Fernando Mendoza, Love Tutin, Trevon.
76:16This might even be a seven running back team. This is pretty thin. Puka Neighbors Pwash Golden Tucker Gddard and Gadston.
76:29All right. Well, I mean, I guess maybe after the Gadston misclick, maybe it makes sense to take
76:38Kar and just lock that in.
76:42I can't I just cannot stop taking Kenyan Sadik, man. It's actually It's actually insane.
76:50that Kenyan Sadi has not seen a price rise. This dude's out here. He's practicing. I mean, he's just full on running routes. And I thought there was
76:58a chance cuz hernia recovery can be a little complicated, actually.
77:05Um, all right. Well, Sadique does go.
77:07Um, Fern is just nice and easy here.
77:14Yeah, Sadique has been back at practice.
77:16Here you go. September 2nd. So, he's back for his second straight practice.
77:19So, he's gonna get he's gonna get a full week of he's gonna get a full week of practice or two full weeks of of
77:29practice in before the start of the upcoming season. So, he should be good.
77:35I, you know, they they did the the mention of bringing him on slowly, but how slowly can you bring on a guy when
77:43he's playing behind um Mason Taylor, who is not good.
77:54Um yeah, if you are if you are in uh if you are in Boston, you will not be able to draft an underdog starting on September
78:0310th.
78:08Near R.
78:11Uh, we're gonna do actually I'm going to take B in there.
78:18Mason Taylor is fine. I don't I don't think he, you know, he's he is an okay player. I don't think Mason Mason Taylor
78:28had a chance to acclimatize himself last year. and was not able to do anything particularly special in terms of targets per route
78:39run or anything.
78:42He's he's fine though.
78:44He did Mason Taylor did one of the greatest gauntlet drills of all time.
78:49You guys remember that? The Mason Taylor gauntlet drill had us in uh a chokeold.
78:59Seriously unbelievable.
79:02Look at this, dude.
79:06I don't think I don't think I've ever seen a tight end execute the gauntlet drill better than this.
79:13Perfect. Perfect hands catch. No snatching at it.
79:18I mean, that's how it's done.
79:27Uh, is Gadson really just not gonna play? That's what it sounds like from from the outside. That is uh that is
79:35what it sounds like.
79:39Uh I honestly, Brotherhood, I I don't know what email my um I I have I have no idea what email my Audible account is
79:51attached to.
79:54I I should have watched I I should have watched that before the flock challenge because I did the two things. So, at
80:04first I was snatching at the ball and then I just tried to body catch it. And the body catching when they get um when
80:11they get fast is just too hard.
80:20I did. Yeah, I knew that Herszig absolutely crushed on drafters last year.
80:29He cashed 59% of his entries, got second place for 200k autodrafting.
80:36Yes, I it is for some reason it is harder to catch when you're not moving.
80:40I don't know. It's something about just the way your brain engages with it. I don't know. I found it obvious I mean
80:46obviously I found it to be pretty freaking difficult.
80:52I thought it was thought it was relatively difficult personally, but sometimes that's the way she goes. I let my boy Jinxy down. Shouldn't have
81:04shouldn't have worn the messy jersey. It was too slick.
81:07You know what I'm saying?
81:11Um, frankly, for me, it is too late to capitulate on Isaiah likely. Yeah, for me personally, it's too late. I will not
81:19be capitulating to Isaiah likely. I will I will have to let that one go.
81:27I will if Isaiah Likely is who you need this year, I'm not going to win. And I probably wasn't going to win anyway
81:38because it's just really hard to win.
81:42Yeah. All your prior drafts are all good. They're not going to be cancelled.
81:45You just cannot starting September 10th in any location where underdog is letting its fantasy license
81:56lapse, then you can just not you just cannot enter into any more drafts after that point. We're going to take Jeremy here.
82:09I mean, my true true heart of hearts. I don't even want to admit it. truth serum is that the is that the Chiefs passing
82:20offense is cooked and that they are going to be a defense and running team and that their
82:27best path to winning 11 games, 12 games is letting Kenneth Walker run the ball 22
82:41times a game. That's my That's my true true I would only say it on a Saturday night live stream take.
82:56Like if I was doing if I was doing a truth serum for Peter's video like that's such a truth serum. I wouldn't
83:02even say it in Peter's video.
83:09Yeah. That's the most It's the most terrifying truth serum possible.
83:15Well, Rashi Rice Rashi Rice is Slant Boy number two, but you got to remember Slant Boy number one was one of the best
83:24guys to have in fantasy football history.
83:30That's the thing is I don't even I don't even know if or or maybe I'm just scared. I don't know if it's a truth
83:36serum or fear.
83:39Uh yeah, the the Davis and Reebs Friday show is no longer um Reebs is too busy. Reebs Reeves has
83:49too much going on. So the Friday show will be replaced with a program with me and
83:58Dave from the solver.
84:03And that show will be sponsored by Live Line IQ. We have a we have a new we have
84:10a new sponsor for the Friday show.
84:18Yeah. Shout out to my guy Dave and shout out to my guy Rich. Um I mean definitely some chance of a weekly show with Liam.
84:27It's just Liam and I are not on the same schedule.
84:35Do you agree that the Rams hype is too much? I mean, they're very good team, but they do have a lot of old players.
84:44So, I don't know. What do you What do you do with that when a team is very good, but a lot of their players are
84:48very old?
84:52I It's hard It's hard for It's hard for me to know.
84:58Very good team, but their quarterback is 39. Aaron Donald's 35. Miles Garrett has
85:05not practiced with this knee injury.
85:11Is Jacob Sailors really gives us direct backup? That's what it sounds like right now, brother. You know, I don't I don't
85:18know if it's true, but that is what it sounds like right now.
85:25I mean, it could very easily be it could very easily be Kareem Hunt, you know. I don't I don't know because I
85:33don't know much of anything.
85:37I probably wouldn't be drafting Sailors right now. Although, someone said earlier that Reeves has him ranked. So, if Reeves has him ranked, um, he's
85:46probably right.
85:54All right. And the final pick in this draft.
86:00Do I want it to be Demand Clayborn or do I want it to be? You know what? I do want it to be Deont Claybornne.
86:08Drake May, Matt Stafford, Fernando Mendoza, Jeremiah Love, Balt Thuton, Trevor Anderson, Crod, Dylan Samson, Brilan Allen, De Man Claybornne, Pukanakua, Malik Neighbors, Pwash,
86:18Matthew Golden, Trey Tucker, Jeremy Bernard, Xavian Thomas, Dallas Goddard, a misclicked Aronda Gadston, and Pat Frimouth.
