Let's get it on.
We are one third of the way through the fantasy season, and it is a glorious day to be back
with the Get Sunday Covered podcast.
I'm your host, as always, Cody, and I'm with my best friends in the world, Jordan and Brandon
and fellows.
Do we have a lot to cover?
Welcome back.
What it do?
How we feeling, boys?
Welcome back, everybody.
Much better than I was last week.
Hey, you said you were scraping away for a win.
You needed one desperately.
You got it.
Congratulations.
$41 well spent on Karim Hunt.
That's a lot of fab.
Yeah, that was a lot of spent.
But I was one in three, guys.
Hey, it worked.
Got you a dub.
I did the same.
I spent like 66 after week one.
Got myself a dub, so really it works.
Thanks.
Jordan kind of working some of his Jordan magic.
I'm going to need you to do that again this week, man.
Put it together.
Get us all a win.
I mean, I'd like to do it again because I'm playing Sheamus this week, and I speak for
the rest of our league.
No one wants Sheamus to win.
Everyone wants me to win, so I'm going to try to do that for the league and for myself.
We'll see what happens with Sheamus if I do win.
Not really out here to talk too much shit to Sheamus.
Yeah, I just hope we all win again.
And I don't know.
I mean, it'll be interesting, especially if me and Brandon win this week.
Our division is pretty pretty crazy.
First, yeah, vision.
Jordan, I do want to just give you a shout out for speaking into existence.
All three of us getting dubs over the weekend.
You spoke that into existence on last week's pod.
So thank you, my friend.
Hey, magic man.
That's where the 90% luck comes in.
10% skill is me speaking.
So there you go.
That's all I'm going to tell you, man.
I look forward to this matchup between you and Sheamus this week.
I know you guys kind of both keep your distance a little bit.
You keep it out of the chat between each other.
But for those of you guys that are listening and or watching, go back and watch some of
our player exclusives from last year.
These two have got got some history and they got some of them doing pretty well right now.
So I got this little thing called some beef.
And I'm trying to gas you up.
I'm trying to gas him up so you guys can gas each other up, which is what I did with Joe
this week.
And I'm really glad that it works out in my favor because if it didn't, man, I was talking
way too much crap to show my face on this podcast.
Joe, I know you watch this.
I know you watch the episode.
You may want to just make sure you watch it on YouTube and check out Cody's name because
spot on.
All right, buddy.
Sorry, Joe, that one for the for the guys that are on YouTube.
And if you want to see it, go check it out.
Go drop a comment to.
Shame.
Sorry.
One more thing to shame is he does.
He does have a pretty solid team.
It's a guy's he has ever have stepped up big time and are playing good for him.
So he has a scary good team.
So good job on your shaft.
Shamus throughout the highest point.
Oh, this week.
Yeah.
So we'll see.
I'm excited for it.
Let's get it going.
Yeah.
Keep it going.
Shamus.
Don't don't back down from this man.
Talk your shit.
All right, guys, we do have a lot to cover this week.
So I want to just jump right into it.
Like always, I got a quick question for you.
We talked last week about, you know, if you could be born into a sports city, you know,
somewhere else that you're unfamiliar with, somewhere that you think would be cool.
I'm going to take it one further with all of these sports back.
I'm looking at all the teams and all the mascots and I just I get kind of obsessive
about it.
So I got to think into myself.
Well, if if you had all the money that you wanted, all, you know, this opportunity that
you could have to start an NFL team in some random place, where would it be?
And what would your mascot be?
Because I'm looking at some of these newer mascots that are coming out and they're kind
of funny.
They're kind of something, you know, some of them are okay, I guess.
Shout out Utah for not being a part of either of those things.
What do you guys got?
All right.
Well, since you mentioned Utah, I'm going to jump right on that.
But I do have a surprise for you boys.
I know we had kind of prepped this before the pod this week.
So I want to introduce you boys to the Salt Lake Shredders.
This is the concept I came up with.
And here's a helmet design.
So something a little different, but just an idea that kind of popped into my head for
the week.
And, you know, just just wanted to kind of go with the Salt Lake Shredders, especially
with Utah just getting the hockey club.
They have the they have the jazz for basketball.
It's a good sports town.
Going to be hosting honestly.
Yeah.
Well, I'm bringing that hockey team to Utah.
They've only got room to grow for a cool mascot or a cool team name.
I mean, let's be real.
The jazz have never won anything since they've been in Utah.
So I mean, but they sell out games.
They still have good fan base.
So I think the hockey team is going to be fine whether they do great this season or do terrible,
which a lot of people are expecting that.
Well, they were the coyotes.
So remember that.
They are the greatest.
Yeah, I think it'd be cool for an NFL team to go there.
It'd be a good city for it.
Come to Boise.
Screw Salt Lake City.
Come to Boise, man.
Jordan, what you got?
So I was thinking about I've been to Portland a couple of times and I was singing the Portland
lumberjacks for a hockey team.
They have the Portland winter hawks right now, the Western hockey league, but I just saw like
the lumberjacks would be cool because it's, I don't know, Portland's a cool town, you
know, and obviously it's Northwest Forest.
And I thought, like, man, you could have like the lumberjacks, like lumber, like get an
old hockey stick that's actually wouldn't like bring it to a game and like have a fake ax
on top, but it's like a hockey stick handle.
Oh, we're going to hockey with it.
Something like that.
So that'd be dope.
Stuff like that, you know, just a football concept here.
No, yeah.
No, you're fine.
I was thinking for a hockey one, but NFL, I was thinking too, because I know they're
trying to bring a baseball team there for the past probably 10 years and that hasn't
worked out.
But I just saw, I'm always worried about these cities that just have one sport there.
It's like, you have one sport.
Like are you even really a sports town?
You know, like I always tell people with Pittsburgh, it's like, they only have football, hockey,
and baseball.
Like we don't even deal with basketball.
It's real men in Pittsburgh.
So it's real sport.
That's hard.
Everyone is silly, huh?
Yeah.
I mean, you can't flop.
You can't flop in Pittsburgh and get fine for it.
So I mean, I'm just saying that's, that's all hot.
Hey, dude, you're right though.
I mean, that's what I do like with Pittsburgh, too.
They're all the same color.
The only city to my knowledge that all of their major sports teams that rep the same
color black and yellow, black and yellow.
Yeah, for sure.
Shout out Wiz.
Yeah.
Cody, what you got?
Man, so I was, I'm a farm kid at my roots and I always feel like the middle of the country
is very ignored when it comes to professional sports in general.
So I was going to kind of go away from the major metropolitan areas and slap this bad
boy right in Iowa.
Give me the Iowa farm dogs, dude.
Can you imagine like seriously do, you know, go a Fox bro style where you take the stadium
away from the actual city and put it out there, you know, on a cornfield, you know,
yes, land and I'm serious, man.
Just make a really dope stadium.
Probably I may be a dome out there.
I don't know.
I don't know how the winters are in Iowa, but like I guarantee you, man, you're, you're
buying into the fan base of all of those states, Iowa, Nebraska, like all of those people that
like all they have is the major college sports, which is dope, but like jump into a professional
football league there in Iowa.
Man, that's, that's an untapped goldmine if you ask me.
And I love that concept logo too.
That's sick.
Yeah, that was I, I love it for Iowa.
I think that's exactly how you say I feel the same about like hockey and other sports
like nothing is represented really in the Midwest, other than Denver, Kansas city.
Like there's nothing in North North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, like there's
nothing, you know, so even one of those states, you know, Montana, North Dakota, like people
are going to travel and that's like going to be their team.
Cause it's like more local, but yeah, I think Iowa would be a great place.
Like they're big college football state.
Yeah.
And I just think like, you know, agriculture is such a big part of my life.
I'm passionate about it.
I don't know that I would ever be a farmer.
That is some, you want to talk real men here?
Like that's some hard work, man.
But you're talking about all of a huge population of people that don't live in these major cities,
but are still passionate about football and still want someone, they got to, well, you
know, I visited this city or, you know, I've got family in this town.
So that's, that's why I'm a fan of the bears or I'm a fan of, you know, whatever the Vikings
doesn't matter.
Dude, I'm telling you, you slap a team there in the Midwest like that.
You're going to sell some jerseys.
You're going to sell some tickets.
Well, I'm speaking of Midwest and, uh, doesn't really have much to do with farming, but hockey
is kind of officially started today.
We got three games on the docket today.
Technically started on Friday, Saturday, but with hockey coming back, uh, I'm excited
to kind of interfere with football because you got games pretty much every day.
So got to kind of pick and choose your battles there, but with hockey starting up, um, kind
of curious what's your guys' predictions for, uh, East versus West and who do you got
taking it all?
Man, so I guess I'll just jump in.
Um, I'm really looking forward to this year and I know you guys are giving me a little
bit of flak for this pick, but, um, I like the devils and I feel like the Oilers have
a chance to make it back.
I feel like we've been seeing a trend of teams, you know, making it to the finals.
Um, you know, at least getting close year after year.
I think the Oilers, um, I don't know if you've seen that clip with Connor McDavid being as
heartbroken he was this last year.
They're going to make some changes, hopefully necessary ones.
Uh, I don't know.
I think it's tough.
There's so many games.
There's so many different things that can happen.
Obviously I would love to see the abs, but I'll take devils and Oilers this year, man.
But no, I don't think the Oilers are going to get it done.
I think the devils do.
I don't even think devils devils will be a friend on the playoffs to be a hundred percent
with you.
Uh, I'll go.
I think honestly, I think it's going to be the abs and the Bruins.
Um, I think Boston, you know, they've had some struggles the last few years in the playoffs.
I mean, they almost blew, they blew a three one lead two years ago to Florida before they
went on to losing the Cup final.
And then last year they almost blew a three one lead in the first round of Toronto.
And then they eventually went down in the second round to Florida in six.
And I think this is a bounce back year for, for the Bruins, and I think they get to the
Cup, but I do think the abs, hopefully this year they'll get Landis Cog back.
And I think the abs will go on to win the Cup.
I think the Cup comes back to Denver.
I think the biggest question mark for the abs this year is just going to be goal tending.
So if your GF can play well, the abs can, the abs can make a deep run, win it all.
Yeah.
I, uh, I like, I like the abs Brandon.
That's who, uh, who I'm taking out of the West and, uh, I don't know if it's as, as
bad as Cody, I'm taking Toronto, I think this year, uh, awesome Matthews being captain.
Um, they didn't get rid of Mitch Marner.
Like this team can't make it out of the second round.
They might be like one of the most talented teams, uh, top to bottom on paper.
Goal tending is going to be a big question, question for him this year.
Um, I don't know, do I want them to win it?
Absolutely not.
Like I got the abs one and all.
I think the abs are going to win it.
Um, big thing for me, same as Brandon is their goal tending.
Um, but I think Gorgia have can step up and, uh, show up in the playoffs and hopefully
get Landis Cog back and I don't know, you nice to see the abs win again.
But yeah, Cody year pick, like first off the oilers, I thought the penguins were old
the oilers are actually the oldest team in the league.
So that ain't happening.
I'm a real fan.
I don't even have the penguins like maybe making the playoffs cause Crosby has another
90 point season as a 37 year old man.
Um, and the devils didn't, I mean, they got a goalie this year.
Maybe that's going to help, but I don't know.
I don't, I'd rather see the devils over the Rangers or a capitals or something.
So we'll see, man, like I always tell people like hockey has more parody than any other
sport.
Like I feel like that's my thing.
Like it's so hard to pick this.
Yeah.
I feel like any, any team realistically that's making the playoffs, if you have a goalie that
goes on to run and you got a team that's hot, you can run through anybody.
So, you know, maybe that's with most sports, but with hockey, it's just different.
Like you have a star player goes down, like the team steps up and rallies around it and
find a way to win, you know, and I always tell people like the best thing about hockey,
you know, basketball switch to it, but having seven game playoffs is, uh, you know, from
the round one of the Stanley cup is that's why it, you know, people call it the toughest
show for you to win in sports.
Cause it truly is like, it's awesome.
So as much as I love football, that passion for hockey is maybe greater.
Yeah, I definitely agree with that.
Geez, my light was turning on and off.
All right.
Uh, let's take a look this week at some of the GSC main and club, um, with the club,
be sure to keep your eyes on our socials and in the fantasy group, uh, for league updates
for who is right now looking at the champions club going into next year.
I did manage to weasel my way in this week, so I'm excited with that.
Um, in terms of GSC main, um, it's a big week.
Number one seats face off this week, um, between after both of them took an L this week.
Yeah.
No more undefeated teams.
So both of them went down this week.
It'll be interesting to see.
Um, oh, Theo, you're crack, cracking me up.
Someone's dropping two in a row then.
Yeah.
One of them, one of them is dropping two in a row.
It'll make standings really interesting.
Jordan, you and I are sitting only one game back behind Steven.
So we could have a three way tie if, uh, all, all of us, if he loses in wheel, we both win,
uh, make things interesting going into the second half of the regular season.
Um, Seamus, Seamus is, uh, feeling pretty, pretty confident, a little, uh, maybe bigheaded
in my eyes, but, uh, my need, uh, my need to come back down to earth, my friend.
You got some big games coming up.
You've got three wins against bottom five teams.
So, um, you're, you're, your time is coming, my friend.
Um, and, and you know, the, the, the, you're as much as we're bringing Seamus up and kind
of talking a little bit of smack to him as like, you know, this only adds fuel to fire.
So if he does come out and beat me this week, he's just going to rub like this and even
more.
So that's where I'm really ashamed.
I hope he does.
I want to see that, see, you know, things fire off in the chat this week.
Um, seven, I got you this week.
I'm coming for you.
Um, I do want to give a huge shout out in the Reaper League to Whitney Reaper is alive.
Reaper is alive.
So Cody looks like you're probably, sorry guys, Pijon for nothing.
Hey, listen, I, I don't know what else I could have done.
Like she, she started the week off with Mooney.
So that's, that's a tough hill to climb.
Man, she's loaded with Jaden Daniels, um, Darnell Mooney.
She had, talking about Seamus, Seamus and Whitney in two respective leagues.
Tucker friggin craft.
20, 24 points from Tucker craft.
Come on.
Come on man.
That's, that's tough.
That's not going to happen every week.
No, so I don't know.
Sorry guys that I thought I put together a decent lineup.
I don't feel like I got destroyed, but I mean, she definitely smacked me for sure.
So yeah, she tell you who she's taken.
I think it's Bijon.
Yeah.
I think so.
Which is fine.
I mean, if she wants him in the main league, she can probably have him there too.
She's not doing shit for me.
I think ADP on like some of the players like that, like I was just, you know, looking at
my team, I think there's like five or six running backs right now that were drafted
after Bijon that are pretty.
Like substantially.
So yep, it is what it is, man.
Yeah, but it is looking good.
So what's your biggest like surprise in our league right now?
Cause I feel like I look across all of my leagues and you know, it's like I said, we're
a third of the way into the season at this point.
So we're starting to see some trends across our leagues.
I think obviously, you know, certain teams that have certain players are finding their
way to the top of the standings and vice versa.
You know, certain people that obviously shout out everyone that, you know, picked up CMC
in the first three picks of the draft, you know, shout out Ryan, shout out Hans, you
know, probably not doing so hot in your standings right now.
So I was just kind of curious if you guys noticed anything that was, I don't know, kind
of an outlier in a sense.
I think that we're not giving the waiver wire appropriate attention because there's been
a couple of different players that have come off of the waiver wire that are paying off
huge for people that they got for essentially for shout out Jordan Mason.
You know, like, there's, I, there's multiple people this year that I don't, I mean, Darnell
Mooney, like, man, he sat on my bench this week and I should have played him because
it's like, man, he plays almost 95% plus of snaps.
Seems like he might be cousins, cousins is favorite target.
And even if he's not with London, it's like he's going to throw the ball to both of them.
So yeah, but there's been a lot of guys that have been picked up off of a free agency that
I think obviously are having, you know, solid years, probably some of the, this is Darnell
Mooney has to be his best year already, you know, with what he's done through the first
five weeks of the season.
I mean, any wide receiver coming from Chicago, like you go to any other team and you have
a career year automatically.
So I don't know.
I mean, I don't know if anything's really surprised me.
It's just, I don't know, maybe the amount of like injuries to big time players, but
I feel like it's kind of probably brought up every year, you know, it's just something
that should be expected.
Yeah.
And I look at like some of the ones he positions to with some of these quarterbacks, like we
talked about it at the beginning of the year about getting an elite quarterback, you know,
that's super important.
And then you're looking at guys like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnell that are leading
the way for some of these teams that are at the top of their standings in their leagues,
Brock Bowers, for example.
He's the highest scoring tight end right now over.
Kelsey Andrews, who's been a complete shit show for people like, yeah, dad.
Dude, let's just touch on tight ends while we're on that topic.
Tight ends this year are absolutely just awful.
Like it's so bad.
You have a better chance it seems like trying to figure out someone off the waiver wire
because there's so many tight ends available.
And having a chance to actually pick someone up that may go off from the week.
I mean, in multiple leagues, I have call pitches on on waivers is available right now.
I mean, Trey McBride was on waivers.
I picked them up in a league.
But like, I'm just amazed that some of these people are are dropping these guys.
But at the same time, I'm not because tight ends have been so godly terrible this year.
Yeah, it's almost like worth it to just pull on like I'm only.
Throw a dart at the board.
That's pretty much what you got to do with tight ends right now because there's no consistency.
I picked up likely after week one didn't do anything and then drop them last week.
And what does he do to decide to do this week?
Oh, be productive.
Now granted that because I have King Cade and I'm pretty OK with King Cade.
He's at least saying somewhat consistent throughout the season.
But I mean, it's.
Tight ends are just not really playing well at all.
I mean, what's the average points per game for tight end right now?
It's got to be under 10, right?
I would say absolutely.
And full PPR.
Yeah, bad.
Like you have a couple of players that have an outbreak one week.
But other and a lot of those guys are either on the bench or on waivers.
So no one has them.
All right, I tell you how do we combat this?
So like, go ahead, Jordan, I'll let you go.
Because you're good.
I just think like maybe the big thing this year is you're seeing more tight ends
used like Kansas City was using four tight ends last night.
You know, the Ravens with with likely and Andrews Andrews there, you know,
even Washington, they're running like three tight ends.
Erch is out there for like 50 percent of the snap.
So I think it's just it's almost with.
Running backs almost how a lot of teams are using two guys, you know,
it's almost like tight ends are.
I don't even want to say just probably just being used for more for blocking.
And if you're open, you're open, you're getting the pass and not so many plays
being called for tight ends like Kelsey had his best game last night
with 16 points this season.
So that's not typical Kelsey.
So I don't know.
I don't know what to jot up to take tight ends out and put kickers in our league.
That's what was that's kind of what I was getting at is like, how do we combat
this, you know, because I feel like we have.
At least some shade of this problem every year with tight ends, either you have
one to even three tight ends that are above and beyond everybody else.
Or then you look at this year where it's like, it's so inconsistent that any
one of them could go off at any point.
So sometimes the tight end position as.
Silly as it sounds is a serious maker break for your matchup for the week,
especially in a league like ours, where, you know, you know,
we're putting up similar points week in and week out.
If your tight end hits, that's a, that's a week winner.
So, right.
I've seen it thrown.
I know, like, is it worth it to try to bring consistency?
I've seen it thrown around.
Just get rid of the position all in all in fantasy of having a tight end
and just throw in a new flex.
Maybe I love the parody of having it.
Let's revisit this in five weeks and see how we feel.
Maybe tight ends turn it around and they become the guys that are
putting up 15, 20 points a game.
But at this point, if I get 10 from a tight end, I'm ecstatic.
If I get anything over seven, I'm fine.
I think my highest points for a tight end all year have been 7.2 from
Zachards.
So it's been sad.
It's, yeah, looking at my team from last week, Brock Bowers outscored all,
but one of my position players.
He was the second highest scoring position player on my team.
I mean, he's good, but that's not good for you.
He's good enough to get the dove.
Yeah, he's doing good this year.
I mean, good for him on that team and that offense.
He's about the only one.
That's fine.
Yeah, I'll take, I'll take that.
Right.
I don't give a shit about the Raiders anyway.
So there are only two tight ends that average more than.
Or actually, I'll take that back on to.
There are only five tight ends that average more than 10, 10 points
throughout the season.
Jordan, can you name them?
I probably can't obviously Brock Bowers.
Yep.
He's number one with sixty six and a half.
I'm gonna say Trey McBride. Nope.
Damn.
I'm whole command.
Nope.
Wow.
Six.
He's at forty eight point nine.
He's averaging.
Nine point seven eight PPR.
Who would number two be like Ty Conflin?
George Kittle.
All right.
I guess you had a big game last week.
One of the best players in the world.
One of the ones we were just talking about with Seamus
picking them up last week.
Tyler Kraft is of a twenty four point game.
Tucker Kraft.
That's so crazy to me.
And then I wouldn't even tell you Ferguson.
Nope.
Baltimore.
I say I like me.
Wow.
Philly. Poty is on your own.
Oh yeah. God, I should have known that.
Yes, you should have.
And he was on a by this.
Yeah. Well, I don't play him when he goes on every time.
The one week he like had asked points.
That's when I decided to play him over Bowers.
Whatever. I hate fantasy football.
We all love it.
All right.
So I want to bring something a little bit new this week.
I want to see do you boys have any like superstitions that you do going into the fantasy weekend or, you know.
Coming into just the fantasy week, say, you know, the week starts Wednesday, obviously with waivers kind of going into the week.
Do you guys have any superstitions that you do throughout the week?
Go ahead, Jordan, if you got one.
I was thinking about this earlier and I was like, man, I don't know.
I don't think I have like any.
I don't know if it's superstition, but pretty much every Sunday I watch Red Zone for like seven hours straight.
And that's not a superstition or anything.
It's just something I like doing.
Maybe I'm like, that's just a Sunday.
Yeah, like me watching it is going to make guys score touchdowns like, because I can have multiple games, you know, when they're multiple screens at once.
I don't know. I don't think I have anything that I never really believed in superstitions or luck or stuff like that.
Like prayers and stuff like that.
Like it's all hopes and dreams.
Like what's the old saying?
Like you can shit in one hand and wish in the other.
Like let me know which one fills up.
See which one fills up faster.
You can do whatever luck and superstition you want.
Like it all comes down.
Obviously the players, you know, even, you know, actual players that, you know,
wear the same underwear or same socks, like that's their thing, you know, but is it really making you play better?
Like as you're wearing that one piece of underwear when you got 200 receiving yards, like never happened again in your career.
You're just wearing some old crusties.
Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I don't think you can go and I'll think on it, but I don't think so.
Howdy.
Yeah, so two things for me came to mind and I think I wouldn't call myself superstitious.
Maybe I'm a little stitious, but it's kind of like, I guess, reverse superstition to where, you know, you know, me and my jerseys, I'm very passionate about my Jersey collection.
And I felt like, you know, I love to wear my Broncos jersey on Sunday and I felt like when I'm, when I wear the jersey, they play like shit.
So I've been taking it off and replacing it with the get Sunday covered T-shirt.
And if they, they play well, then, you know, maybe I'll wear the jersey on Monday or, you know, the following Friday before the weekend or something like that.
But I do kind of get into stuff like that because I think it's, you know, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.
I think it's all, you know, hopes and dreams, you know, whatever.
But I think it's like for these players, probably like a mental thing of like that, you know, we're creatures of habit.
So just like doing the same thing and holding on to that.
Like, it's just when we were, when we were playing talking together, like my biggest thing getting suited up is I was always put everything on the left side on first.
So like, you know, left skate, then right skate, then left shin pad, then right shin pad, like always I couldn't screw that up.
Like I would tie my left skate and then tie my right skate.
So that was like my thing, but it was more of just like, I don't know, having that, that habit, that, that kind of like routine, because if it threw it off, you know, like I would think about it constantly, you know, like, go release your skates because you fuck this up, man.
I don't know. That's what came to my mind.
Yeah.
I got you, Brynn.
Let's see what you're saying.
Yeah, I think, I mean, for me, it's, I don't really have like any kind of ritual or anything in particular.
I think the biggest thing for me is if I like, obviously I have a newborn and a toddler.
So I'm waking up at some point in the middle of the night on Wednesday.
And if I'm awake, if I get through Wednesday night or Tuesday night, I guess, in particular, sorry.
And I'm up, I'm checking the waiver wire, seeing who is acquired and who's available.
And if I want anyone, I'm grabbing them.
Otherwise, that's really it.
And then the only other thing I guess I really do is Sunday morning when I first wake up, I'm just checking the injury report.
And I'm just going through my team debating on any of my flex players, especially like this last week, I was debating on Bucky Irving, Alan Lazar, Tyler Lockett or someone else.
Playing Tankdale.
Like I was picking two of those guys to play for the week.
Went with Dell.
That just sounds like efficient fantasy management.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, that's kind of where it is.
It's just kind of my routine, I guess per se, waking up Sunday morning before I go to church and then just after church, double checking the injury report before the 11 o'clock game start.
Going to church and praying your team wins every Sunday.
No, no, no, sir.
It's all luck.
I will say, I will say I do.
I do feel like the more I watch my fantasy matchup, which I, you know, I told you guys a couple of weeks back, like I love watching the fantasy matchups throughout the day, watching the projections go back and forth.
And I feel like the more I watch them, the worse my team does.
For example, I had some friends over this weekend, we did a little barbecue, had a good time and I wasn't as invested into watching the games, you know, I'm trying to host, I'm trying to, you know, entertain and things of that nature.
And I wasn't glued to my phone like I normally am on Sundays.
And I got the dub.
So I feel like the more I watch it, the more I just am just putting that bad juju out there because every single play that doesn't go my way or everyone that does, I'm just like, yeah, yeah.
So that's like the start of it.
You like start watching like less football each week and then like come next season, like you do zero mock drafts and then come into the season next year, like you do like an auto draft semi human draft and then you end up with unstoppable bro.
And that's how you stop next year.
There's your strategy right there.
I know it's all part of my plan bro.
I know Cody's kind of superstition is he has to do like 50 plus mock drafts before the draft and get to the players he mocked or whatever.
I crush my drafts.
I'm not saying I get the best team but I get the people that I want for sure.
And then when they don't perform, you continue to hold on to them.
No, when they don't perform, I blame people like seven for sniping Brian Thomas away from me and then I'm like, yeah.
Excuses don't make champions.
Hence why you've never been one my friend.
How would you know that Brandon?
You've never been one either.
I haven't been a champion in others.
So there's only one champion in GSC here boys and that's me.
And you can both call me dad.
Oh, go watch the stream Joe.
Sorry Joe.
Oh man, good stuff.
I love this league.
All right guys, we're going to move it along.
We're getting close here.
So we're going to wrap up these next few topics.
I did want to get your thoughts that we had some interesting news break today.
Another hot topic of the week here.
The Jets have solved all of their problems.
They are coming back to form.
Robert Sala is no more.
Not really easy no more, but this boy got walked out by security.
I don't know if they've solved their problems.
My friend, I think.
Sala is just the fall guy for a low mediocre offense.
I completely agree.
So hot take on this what's.
Because we woke up, you know, I heard about this news and then someone texted about it.
Yeah, for me, like they're replacing them with the solid was a defensive guy in the first place.
They're replacing with the defensive coordinator.
So you're placing defense with defense.
I don't get that.
I don't know.
So if he was good players, but yeah, maybe the whole story is not being told to us.
But no, never is.
I was kind of with seven with like, you know, coach got fired today.
Oh, was it Dennis Allen?
No, it was Robert Sala.
You know what, both teams are two and three, what's the difference between the Saints and the Jets?
Well, that really good defenses, their offenses have good playmakers around it, but quarterback's not performing.
So why is Dennis Allen have a job and Robert Sala does they're both in their third year.
The Saints started to be one guess.
So the Saints have dropped through the row.
Yeah, the Saints have dropped three in a row.
Yeah.
So that like, I was thinking about that earlier when solid got fired cause seven brought that up about Dennis Allen and as he likes to call him,
shout out to seven for this use, Corolla for David, their car.
Awesome nickname.
I love it.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know if this makes the Jets better.
I honestly thought if the Jets didn't do anything this year, so we get fired at the end of the year.
And same with Aaron Rogers.
This would be his last year, but no, I think if you got Jets players, I think this is scary.
Unload them.
I unloaded Breece Hall today.
So,
maybe Gary Wilson, dude, Gary Wilson just won those dudes that it doesn't matter if Tim Tebow comes out of retirement,
that dude's going to catch balls from somebody.
So I don't know.
Here's another question since we're talking about how coaches having Steve Stafanti, you think he gets much longer?
Much longer with the Browns?
No way, right?
What about Doug Peer?
Jacksonville.
We'll be seeing some more for sure.
I don't know how Doug Peer still has a job.
I really don't.
Does they won last week?
That's it? I don't know.
I don't know.
How much longer till James Winston starts games in Cleveland?
That's what I mean. I don't know how much longer we're going to keep telling ourselves that it's the head coach problem in Jacksonville and Cleveland
when we know that Sean Watson and Trevor Lawrence are both shit.
And Bo Nix and the Broncos are three and two. Explain that.
Nix to fix. I don't have to explain nothing, maybe.
New England making a change this week five. Guess what?
I don't know about throwing Drake May into playing the Texas.
You're the best earlier. Go ahead, Jordan.
Your hot take topic of the week should have been Drake May if he makes it into the second half of this game.
Should we write his eulogy right now?
Yeah, someone's going to change the Wikipedia, whatever his death date like they did with Brandon Cooks when he got knocked out in that Super Bowl.
He changed his Wikipedia page. That was his date of death was that Super Bowl.
So I'm worried about Drake May. I hope the kid does.
He did.
Jacobi presets a big quarterback and I think he could take a lot more hits than Drake May.
So for a little bit, I hope he does good. Hope he's good for the Patriots because yeah, that's a tough situation to be going into with the Patriots right now.
Well, with this.
Go ahead.
How are you, Doc?
After that, sad news with the Jets. We got some games of the week coming up. There's some exciting games this week.
I looked at some of the matchups and I don't know. I think there could be some sneaky games that people aren't paying attention to with teams looking for a win this week.
Cardinals got a big win last week at 49ers. That's my game of the week.
How many picks did that run?
That game was ugly. The 49ers should have won it if they had a kicker.
But it is what it is.
Yeah, there's, look like he snapped his ankle. I don't know the actual outcome of his.
It sure did. That did not look good.
I'm doing a Cardinals at Packers. I think it's a big game for both teams. I think the Cardinals, man, I think when that offense is rolling with Kyler Murray, I don't know if you guys saw that run he had where he just broke like a 75-yard run, like 18 seconds into the game.
He looks good with Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride, James Conner, Packers, man, Jordan Love, Jordan Love and Jaylen Reed.
I think they might be a combo to be feared the next couple of seasons here if they keep rolling like they are this year.
What about for you guys? Who do you got for the game?
I wish I wanted to trade Joe for him.
Yes, you did.
Hey, at least you still beat him.
I'll jump in here. You're right. I did.
How many times have we mentioned that yet? Have we reached 10 yet?
I think we got like four more to go. Did you guys know I beat Joe this last week?
I see your name.
I'll jump in here, guys.
I like what I'm seeing from Washington right now. I am loving Jayden Daniels. He's my favorite for Rookie of the Year right now.
And watching, I don't know if you guys watched the Baltimore Cincinnati game last week, but it was awesome.
It was a lot of fun to watch. A ton of scoring.
I thought they looked great.
My thing with this game of the week, commanders versus Ravens, if the Ravens are going to let what, 36 points from a Bengals offense that is, maybe it's the Bengals team that's in shambles right now.
I won't call out the offense specifically, but I mean, letting up almost 40 points in a week is not great.
Now I'm not saying Jayden Daniels is Joe Burrow, but I love the way that the commanders are playing right now.
And I think they make a game out of it. I'm still going to take the Ravens in this matchup, but I do look forward to watching it.
I think I think commanders are going to get that one. They're good.
Right.
And Daniels like not even rookie of the year, like MVP talks. Yeah, he the only reason I'm going Ravens is it's in Baltimore.
Yeah. And it's Lamar.
And it's Lamar. You know what I mean? Like, I think the Ravens are going to sneak out of win, but I think Jayden Daniels shows his true colors here.
Terry McLauren is going to have a two touchdown week with 200 yards, I hope.
Because I have them in the league. Yeah, I'm down with that.
I'm cool with that.
I just, yeah, I'm excited for that game.
Me too.
I like the Ravens in that game as well with you, Cody.
My matchup of the week, Lions and Cowboys. I think this is going to be a slug fest. I think this is going to be a fun game to watch.
I like the Lions this week in this game, but I sure do hope CD and Dak figure out whatever the heck they need to figure out because they have not been on the same page at all.
Yeah, yeah.
This, I love this take from you, Brandon, and I too look forward to this game. And I think this is one of those games where we're going to learn a lot about both of these teams in this game.
Just because you said like, whether it's a slug fest or it's not, I think both of these teams have to step up where they're lacking.
And we're going to see both sides because the Detroit doesn't have that great of a defense.
Dallas needs to figure out what they're like you said with CD and Dak.
I think it's going to be a good one, dude. I think I'm going to take the Lions also, but I don't know. It's going to be interesting.
Yeah, I mean, I hope that's hope that game to shoot out.
I hope it's high scoring game. I have Rico Davil and he's come on as the Cowboys main running back. That's why I just held on to him on my bench and kind of happy to have him now. So I think it was maybe you, Brandon, that I don't know.
I got a little bit of flack from somebody about not drafting CD lamb over Justin Jefferson and I had CD lamb last year and he had a great year for me last year.
I will not ever take that back. Like, thank you, CD.
He got you the championship. But I just looked at it and thought there's no way that him and Dak are going to repeat this performance they had this year.
And so far, Jefferson with Sam, old Sam, Donald, Mr. Goose up in Minnesota there.
Having a great year. He's maybe like the number three or four wide receiver this year.
So, but no, yeah, I think the Cowboys have figured it out. They need to figure it out on defense because that defense is not the same as it was.
Well, they also have injuries to. Yeah. So we'll see. I think it's a high scoring game, but I got the Lions.
I think the Lions are going to run all over the Cowboys.
Jordan, I want to jump back to your game because we didn't pick your game.
I do like the Packers. I'll take the back in that matchup as well.
I'm going to take the Cardinals in like a 40 37 game.
This one's a high score. I think it's a high score.
Jordan telling you pick the over. Yeah, I think this is the Cardinals of Packers.
Jordan Love and Kyler Murray, both over 300 yards type game, 200 yards from there.
24 points. I don't think that's happening. I think Jaylin Rees going to have a big week.
I don't know. I think this game is just going to be a crazy shoot out. I think these offenses can both go off.
So I'm excited for all these games to be honest with you, but I don't know. We'll see what happens.
Do we have a count, Brandon, on our picks so far this year? I think in next week's episode, we need to recap where we stand as far as our correct picks for these games of the week.
I don't have a pick. I can't have a counter yet. I can create one.
I can't tell you that for our GSC Pickham's League, man.
Well, yeah, you are, but it's sweet, dude. There's a shout out seven leading away with 47 correct picks right now.
Shout out Andrew as well. He's right up there with 47.
Stephen in a three way tie for six plays. Technically, it's like third, but.
Oh, Stephen went off last week with his picks. I don't know what went through his head. He picked the Giants.
The Cardinals like he had the upset for those games. I mean, he had some of some wild picks out there this week.
And I was just like, I'll leave it.
Yeah.
Shout out Brandon. Nice meeting you in the.
In our watch party Thursday party last week. That was sick.
Nice couple of names here in our pickums. TP Plummer 212 holding it down.
Would love to meet you at some point, man, looking good in the pickums big demo.
The winner of our survivor league actually up there in the top 10 for our pickums as well, which by the way, Brandon, I don't know if you've been paying attention to the survivor league.
We can restart that. So yeah, we'll fire off your DMs, man.
Check my DMs.
Yeah, for the for the survivor league, we can restart it.
Oh, I'll start one up.
We'll start anyone. It'll be live.
We'll start one up right now.
It's not like we have anything else going on.
Second chance survivor league.
I know, right?
We're not busy.
Right now we're good.
Straight up.
We'll we'll have that available tomorrow within the group.
It'll be posted on socials.
So be sure to join if you want.
And make sure you get your picks.
Hopefully people have longer than four weeks this year.
Or this this round.
I'm looking at, you know, some of these other leagues around get Sunday covered.
We will go into the championship league standings right now, but I'm looking at some of these other teams and I think we're going to have us a burner of a league for the championship.
The GSC Champions League next year.
It's looking pretty, pretty spicy, which by the way, you guys, if you are interested in this, again, keep following our socials, keep paying attention to this stuff, because what we're going to do is once this fantasy season is over, we get a list of everybody that's actually in the league.
We're going to start doing some offseason meetings so we can come together to sign on scoring settings roster settings things of that nature to make this as fair and as even for everybody as possible next year because I personally am looking very much forward to this even if I'm not a part of it so I can't wait to see what happens next year and we are going to try to do some prizes so.
Got some cool stuff.
Keep it on the back burner.
Nice hoodie by the way, Brandon, that's sweet.
Oh, thank you. Yeah.
Coming soon, folks, we got some GSC hoodies coming out to a store.
Or you're purchasing this is pretty nice. It's actually embroidered on the front.
And then on the back.
Oh yeah.
Nice.
His hoodie season.
Getting cold.
Got the shield.
Got those store working out some kinks still working on it, but it should be open and soon.
Once it's open, you all can go purchase whatever you want.
We'll have hats, beanies, t shirts, hoodies, polos, crew necks, stuff along those lines.
There's even whiskey glasses, beer glasses, stuff along those lines.
So some cool concepts getting out right now.
We'll go from there.
Once we kind of work out the last few kinks, otherwise, I mean, I'm excited for you guys to be able to get some of this quality on these is super nice, Cody.
I know you got yourself a hoodie as well.
Sure did.
Do you have it around you?
Not within a reasonable distance for me to go and get it right now, but I will tell you that it is good.
Cody has our other hoodie design, which is the fantasy football club logo that's embroidered here on the front.
Just a lot bigger and across the whole chest, nothing on the back.
Looks comfortable.
Cody will wear it next week.
I'll tell him to wear it.
If it ever cools off up here in Boise, I might 92 degrees.
I'm over it.
It's hockey season.
Cool off a little bit.
Right.
Yeah, already for it.
All right, boys.
