Let's get it on. The Get Sunday Covered podcast is back for week 12. Brandon, Jordan, Cody
are here to talk. The trade deadline and is there a correct way to handle trades in your
league? MVP and Rookie of the Year are up for grabs and the Chiefs are not going to
three Pete. Thank you so much for joining us once again. Brandon and Jordan, how are
we doing boys?
I'm doing good. It's a good week. Good time for fantasy. Good time for football. There's
no more international games, so we don't have to worry about waking up early and watching
the trash game early. Just usually Jacksonville are their giants. So most people are waking
up that early anyways, but I'm good. I don't know.
You're going to be up that early. Don't play.
Oh, I'm already up. So I mean, if I'm up that early, like I'm going to put that on instead
of some countdown show for waiting until football to start. So yeah, I'm going to put it on.
Like I'll still watch football.
That right there is how you know Jordan's an old man. I know there's not football on
at seven o'clock, but I'm up anyway, guys. Don't even worry about that. What do you do
if you're up that early, Jordan?
I don't honestly, the here's like, you want to talk about the hot topic of the week. I
always tell people you want to go to the grocery store, go between six and seven AM. Like there's
there's more people working than more people than people are shopping. Everyone's stocking
shelves, trying to get everything ready for the day. You go in between like six or seven,
dude. You're out of there within 20 minutes. Like, you don't even have to worry about it.
So I don't know. That's what I do. Like on the weekends, go, go grocery store and start
my laundry that way. I can just chill for the rest of the day.
But I don't know. Usually, you know, yeah, if there's a game on, you know, yeah, go to
the store, come back and put that game on and be ready to watch football, especially
Red Zone, man. If no one's, if you guys have never watched Red Zone, like, I don't know,
like Adam Schafter shouted out so we can shout out like, uh, crack streams, but you just
watch some, uh, Red Zone on there, man. And I'm telling you, there's no commercials.
It's eight hours of just pure football. And it's like, it's nice. There's no commercials.
And you get to watch quite a bit of nonstop action, um, kind of stressful when you, cause
you, you know, a lot of the guys that you have, you're watching these games or showing
the Red Zone and they're throwing the ball or running the ball to someone like, I think
you have that set saying Cody of a touchdown goblin. Someone's stealing these touch sounds
like who is this guy rostered on 2.9% of leagues? Like no one wants to score. Nobody knows that
guy. No one wants him like 22 man leagues and stuff like that. So I don't know. But
overall it was good week. I'm, I'm feeling good, uh, in GSC main league, uh, GSC Colorado
is pretty crazy. It's, it's going to come down on the wire in that one. So maybe bite
my nails in that one, but overall it's been a, it's been a good fun year so far.
Oh yeah. What about you, Brad?
Good for you. My team took a this week. We decided to do nothing. So yeah, my, my weekend
went fantastic.
Your fantasy team had a bi week.
I'm going to lose again this week to Jordan. I already have full confidence that I am taking
an Elvis week and I'm going to be on the bubble for playoffs. So it's going to be really the
last two weeks that are going to come down to it for me.
It's going to be close, man. It's going to be close. I do like that it's, uh, there's
still a lot of question marks for our league. Um, how are you doing in your other leagues?
Are you, are you close in any, are you doing well in any?
In all my other leagues, I'm in the playoffs. I mean, if playoffs were to start right now,
I'm in every, every, in every league I'm in the playoffs, pop six. So I can't be mad
at it, but huh.
So he's been just kicking my ass.
Obviously Brandon, this doesn't apply to you because you're in the playoffs as of right
now, but Jordan, are you in any leagues right now where you're just your toast, you're out
of it? Because I'm just curious. I'm starting to see a bunch of my leagues where there's
a couple of teams that are toast man, they're out and I've seen the same thing in the NFL
itself. Also you talk about like the bangles, the cowboys, you know what I mean? Like all
of these other teams that like it's over, you know what I mean? Like your hopes of any
kind of post season run are done. How's that going for you? How are you looking at that?
Um, I'm not, well, for me, I'm only in two leagues. I don't, I'm still obviously in
contention for playoffs in both. So I'm not, I'm not stressing it too bad. I'm not out
of it in any way. Like some of these NFL teams might be out of it. Um, I don't know if you're
talking about NFL teams that might be out of it too, but yeah, there's.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, there's, I don't know. You, some of these teams, man, it's like obviously
the cowboys like I think as soon as they locked lost stack, that was kind of it for them.
The bangles, man, I thought Sunday night was kind of a must win for them and they needed
that game big time. What a bit of big win to beat the chargers. Um, I don't know. Some
of these teams, man, like obviously Cleveland had a lot of hype coming into this year. Obviously
they're done. Um, Denver definitely not done. Um, excited for them. Um, they're in it, baby.
We're going to talk about that a little bit later.
Yeah, I, I don't know. I mean, some of these teams where it's just like obviously the Jets
man, that's been a topic for everyone this year and Aaron Rogers. Um, they're done. Like
you went out and you fired their GM today. Yeah, that ain't going to help the Boston
Bruins fired their coach and that didn't make sense. But, um, I don't know. I mean, some
of these teams, man, it's just like, you know, yeah, you're all coming in at zero and zero
and you all have these high expectations, you know, look at the Arizona Cardinals like
leading that division, the NFC. I think, I think the 49ers are going to struggle to make
the playoffs. I think that division is a lot tough, tougher than they thought it would
be.
But I said that from the beginning of the season, man. And they're still one of the
top teams for a sports betting for Super Bowl. And I don't get it like they're ahead
of teams like Pittsburgh and soda and stuff like that. It's like, I don't know. Yeah,
they might have what it is about San Francisco, but their players just can't stay healthy,
man. Somebody has hurt every single week.
Debo, McAfrey, you missed, you know, 60% of the year. But it's so like, I look at these
teams that you're talking about, like the Cowboys, you know, they're done. Everybody
knows that they're done. There's no chance. So when I translate that to fantasy, I just
wonder, you know, if you're still, you got a shot, right? We got a couple of weeks left.
And in most of these leagues, like 10 to 12 team leagues, a couple of wins versus a couple
of losses can make a huge difference. I don't know. Like we talked about crunch time when
it came to, you know, week five, week six and making moves because of all the injuries
and things like that. Now, man, now is when you really got to start looking at, can I
sneak a couple of wins out of these people? Because if you're sitting at, you know, six
and five or even five and six or four and seven, even if you sneak a couple of wins out
and somebody ahead of you drops a couple, you still technically have a chance. I don't
know, dude. This is an interesting time when it comes to waivers and trading.
Yeah, it is. I don't know. Yeah, it always, I don't know. It worries me because you're,
you're always holding on some of these guys hoping they're, you know, they're going to
do something for you and obviously you're holding on to them. And when do you ever start, when
do you ever start the right person? Because it's like you're holding on to these people
for so long, they're always on your bench and boom, they finally do have a big game.
They put them in for the next week and they throw up a dud, you know, so it's just like,
you know, so it makes fantasy tough, man. You know, we're just like, you're saying these
guys that you're talking about. I particularly have one, I drafted a Mariko Dabble for the
Cowboys man. Like, I don't know. I held on to him. I think I only had to start him one
game and I think that was the one, one of two games. He put up like a decent game, like
18 points. So it was a good game for him. But honestly, he's been on my bench, I think
every week other than that game, I've just been, I was hoping he was going to take over
as the main guy in Dallas, which he technically did last night, but it was a God awful performance
by everyone on the Cowboys, maybe except for CD lamb. I don't like, I don't know, like
some of these guys like, you know, Travis ETN man, like there was high expectations
for that guy this year. Like, and I know he's held on to buy everyone because it's like,
I'd be in the same boat if he was on my team. I'm not dropping him. Like he should be the
main guy on a decent offense, but when's it ever going to click? You know what? We're
going into week 12, like 11, whatever it is, like we don't have much, much time to do stuff
for these guys. So it's like, how long do you hang on them before you drop? Like, and
like you're saying, I feel like if you're four and six or five and six, like take a
chance, dude, roll the dice, like get crazy. Like what do you have to lose? You know? So
it's, I don't know. I'm trying to think of some other other names out there for, for
players that Jaylin waddles another name that name that comes to mind that people have been
hanging on to this guy all year, hoping for a breakout game and it just has never come
for him this year. So you guys got any, any names I think it's going to with Johnny there.
Yeah. Johnny Smith. Yeah. Taking it all right now. You guys have any names that come to
mind for players? Maybe that are held on to for too long. Maybe still being held on there.
Zemir White. I know people that are still holding onto him. He should be dropped in
all leagues. Dude, I don't want a piece of any running back in the black and silver.
Nope. It's messy, dude. It's messy. I, I feel your pain, Brandon, because I drafted Zemir
White in a couple of weeks. We all did in one league. Essentially. We're in did two.
Yeah. And it's just like, thank God I've got Bowers in our main league because the offense
runs through him, man. Him and Jacobi Myers, like their run game is, and I don't understand
it because there was a poll on our Facebook group about what's, you know, the most surprising
about like past percentage or something. And this was a couple of weeks ago, but Raiders
were like top five. And I was like, yep, Raiders for sure. Cause I thought they were
just going to run the ball, run the ball, run the ball some more, you know, and I mean,
shout out Alexander Madison because he's a BSU guy, but their run game is just awful,
dude. It's so bad. Not good. For me, my player's got to be Romeo Dobbs and you guys know that
because you're in the group chat. So I, I shared a screenshot with the boys in GSC
main the other day and it was the history of transactions for Romeo Dobbs and it consisted
of probably what six or seven transactors drops. Yeah. And every single one of them
was me. And I think in total I spent almost $30.
I was going to say $28 fab.
Yeah. Same player.
I think that's one for me. Is he dropable? Honestly, like he's not doing anything, right?
Like he's one of those. I look at it in the same light as like Javante Williams though.
Like I traded him away, blew up. You know what I mean? Like Dobbs has the ability to
blow up. So is he really dropable? Like what do you consider to be dropable?
But how often you start them? You're probably putting them on your bench. And that's what
I'm saying. He has that big game. He's probably on your bench.
You know? Yeah.
So that's what's like, it's kind of, Jameson Williams is one of those guys, man. He was
on my bench and it's like, do I start him? You know, next week he could come out and
have one catch for 10 yards, you know, and not have that big 60 yard touchdown that he's
known for. So I don't know. Just some of those guys, man, where it's maybe they're not dropping
dropable. It's like, who you sitting on your bench for 90% of the year, you know, before
you take that chance that one week and hope they go off for you, you know, just holding
on to them for a bi week or hoping I'll hold on to someone in case an injury or something
happens. But I don't know, it's interesting. Sure. Everyone has their own thoughts about
it and how they manage guys and think about that.
So let's say you're in that position where like you need to win this week. Obviously,
we've got the BIPOCalypse this week, six teams, right? A lot of big names, running backs specifically.
If you've got those guys that we're talking about that are you just got to get rid of
them. You got to let it go, right? Cut the dead weight. Is there any of those guys that
may, are they for sure cuts or should we be offering for trades for other guys? You know,
I mean, like who has trade value and who doesn't? Because that's the issue that I'm having right
now is I have Romeo dobs, you know what I'm saying? And I have other players that have
given me decent weeks. But you're right, I'm never going to start them. Who like what kind
of trades you guys trying to make our trade deadline is this week. I think a lot of leagues
their trade deadline may have already passed. But for those who haven't, if you're making
a move, are these guys actually drop candidates? Or can you convince somebody that there's
value?
That's tough. I mean, I guess it depends on what you're going for. Maybe if you do a two
for one deal where you're stacking one of those guys with some other decent player you
have for a top 10 player type situation. But I'd say,
I'm sorry to interrupt. I'm going to give it to you this way. I'm going to go through
our waiver wire right now. This is as of 750 on Tuesday night. The top three running
backs available for our leader, Tajie Spears, Jerome Ford, and Justice Hill. The top three
wide receivers, what?
Don't want any of them.
Exactly. So our top three wide receivers are Christian Watson, same team, Romeo Dobbs,
Xavier Worthy, and Leggette, Leggette, Xavier Leggette. That's our top three receivers.
Are you taking your shot on the waiver to drop one of these guys or would you rather
trade for someone that's in play right now? This is our last chance. You know what I mean?
I'm taking a shot at a guy like Christian Watson. He's just like Romeo Dobbs in that
offense. He could have a huge game, but I don't know. It depends on who you're trading
for, but I ain't touching those running backs. I'm rolling with Rico Dabble over all three
of those guys. So wide receivers.
I may not have a choice.
Yeah, that's tough. That's where you're hoping for an injury or something happens in the
game plan or something, but that's just has to be kind of a luck scenario for you to especially
running backs. I feel like running backs are stashed more than any other player. Everyone's
holding on to running backs, even some backups on teams and stuff like that. Guys are holding
on to them. So it's hard to get good running backs, you know, get consistent play from
running backs. Unless you have one of these guys that a Kamara or McAfrey that are getting
runs and a lot of catches every week. It's just running backs are hard, man. So I feel
like they're always snatched up and held on to and stashed more on the bench than any
other position.
So I think I'm going to lose his job to taste some hell. Yeah. Yeah. Seriously. I mean,
I know waivers go in for my league. If I get him, I'm starting to taste some hell at
quarterback in my GSC Colorado league and get 100% doing it. You know who I first put
in for is bone X, but I'm pretty sure I ain't getting him. So if I don't get bone X, but
Joe Burroughs on a buy, so I need a quarterback this week. So I'll roll with taste some hell,
but I see stealing all the TDs from tomorrow right now. So get him a couple more this week.
Please know your Kamara owner. How are you feeling about this whole situation? I mean,
I know that at least in Maine, you need wins. You need wins bad. Who are you dropping? Who
are you trying to trade? I think you dropped a couple of players onto the trade block for
our league.
What are your thoughts? Well, I got an offer today. It was J.K. Dobbins and Drake London
to receive Brian Robinson, Adam Thielen and Dalton Schultz. And I sounds like a Joe trade.
It is a Joe trade. I was lying immediately. Yeah, that was not even answered, responded
because I just was like, yeah, no. Come on, Joe. You're not getting that. And I've tried
to get mixing off of them. I've tried to make offers to get mixed. Oh, after, after last
night, it's not going to happen. And yeah, the only way I'm getting mixed in from Joe
is JJ straight up for mixing. Yeah, probably. I thought about it. I might pull the trigger
on that just because I still am deep at wide receiver. I don't know. I don't I don't like
that you just shared that because I would do that also.
For games. I do JJ for Camara or yeah, of course you take CD, CD lamb off me. No, because
I still got the shit from you guys for taking Jefferson ahead of CD lamb and looks like it's
paying off for me. So I had no issue with it. Honestly. Yeah, I don't blame you. It's
just after I don't know. Yeah, CD had a great year last year. Like obviously, if you were
up eight years like that every year, you would do it, but you never know how someone's going
to do. But yeah, I don't.
I did like the way he played over the weekend, though. He would it looked like a lot of that
offense is going to go through CD. So it's going to have to be the best player on the
field. Exactly. And that that was one thing that I was like, all right, well, I can at
least be happy with that after last night.
Well, let's talk in depth about this a little bit more. Because for those of you that haven't
experienced your trade deadline just yet, I want to just do one last check in on basically
how you handle trades in your league. There's a bunch of different ways to go about it.
Vitoing or not vetoing. And I wanted to share with you guys a story with one of the leagues
that I'm in. I'll try to keep it short and sweet. But essentially what happened was somebody
was offered Breeze Hall. Excuse me. Somebody was offered a Mari Cooper and Isaiah Pacheco
for Breeze Hall in return. Shout out the elevator eight leagues that were in. Lucas, we appreciate
you. This one was a trade that sparked quite a bit of conversation. I'm curious to hear
your guys's thoughts on it and how you handle the veto process and what this would look
like in your league, essentially. There was one vote for veto in this league. Just one.
So I mean, personally, it's not readable. I think it's completely fine to go through.
I'm curious to see what happens with Pacheco when he comes back because is he going to
split carries with hunt? I mean, who's going to be kind of the dominant role there? I'm
assuming Pacheco will be, you know, the main guy, but it'll be interesting to see how they
integrate hunt into that backfield. In terms of a Mari Cooper, he's been okay, but you
know he's bound to have a breakout week with Josh Allen.
I agree. Yeah, if I'm the Breeze Hall owner of this situation, I don't like this trade.
I think whoever's getting home, the situation is the winner of this. Even though Hall is
on a bad team, I think he's going to be the beneficiary of getting a lot of garbage time
plays and them being down and getting screen passes. I think he's just going to get a lot
of fantasy points for people. I think it should be vetoed. No, I don't know. I have people
say if two adults want to make a trade and they both agree upon it, then it should go
through. Obviously, if it's someone last place, first place, trying to help someone
else's team out, their buddies or whatever it is, yeah, that's one thing. For me, I don't
know. I've never really had a problem in my league for trades where it's pretty much
everyone cool with this. No one has any objections. I'll be the first one to come out and say,
no, we're shutting this trade down. I don't like this. That's how I'd handle it in my
league. I've done trade. I feel like most trades are fair. I always feel like it should
be a majority thing. If you've got 10-person league and whatever you have five people
that are in favor of the trade, it goes through no matter if the other three people disagree
with it. It should just go through. You have more people than disagree. Majority rules,
democracy, that's how it should always be. I know everyone's different on how they do
trades. It's always a hard situation. I don't know.
That's something that gets Sunday covered is still trying to figure out the best process
for it.
Yeah. It's tough. I don't know. It's tough. Like I said, I don't know the best way to
handle a trade, letting it go through for the 48 hours until it's processed. You make
a trade on a Thursday morning and you get guys playing that night and you're trying
to get that trade through for that. You're line up that week. It's always tough.
Here's my biggest thing. I get it. I will just let you know that that was also the general
consensus of this league, that the Breeze Hall recipient was the clear winner in this.
However, guys, what do we say constantly? Jordan, this is your phrase. 90% luck, 10%
skill. The fact is, nobody knows what is going to happen next week. Nobody going to know
if on the first snap, Breeze Hall goes back, tears his Achilles, rolls his ankle, tears
his ACL, gets hepatitis in his nostril. Nobody knows what's going to happen. For me to come
out and say, no, this trade is unfair. In my mind, I'm like, I don't think so. I just
can't say like, sure, this team is winning this trade. So it seems unfair for the entire
league. Right. Really, I feel like shit. I guess I should have made an offer for Breeze
Hall if I think he's that valuable. No, I don't know. I think the vetoes in general are just
kind of a slippery slope. I agree. Yeah, 100%. I think vetoes are unless it's really clear,
I don't see why vetoes are anything should be vetoed. It's got to be like, you're treating
a nobody like, let's say you're treating Jerome Ford for Sacoin, like it's got to be pretty
obvious. Yeah. Like it's got to be pretty freaking obvious to be vetoed. Otherwise,
let the trade go through. Like that's that's the way I look at it. And I just want to throw
this out there for the record. You know, for you guys that are going through the same
struggle right now with trades and whatever, if it really is that serious and it's really
causing that much turmoil in your league, the GSC has rules in place for stuff like
that. And that's what we say is if it's a clear and distinct advantage for one team,
and it seems like collusion, right? And I see this a lot in in free leagues where people
are just like, I don't give a shit, like take my best players, you know, whatever. But if
it's a paid league, especially like, it needs to be like blatant that somebody is, you know,
hey, I'm going to trade you this guy, go win it, give me my money back type of situation.
Yeah, really. But if we're going to keep talking about trades, guys, are you targeting teams
that are toast from the playoffs? And if you are toast from the playoffs? Are you trying
to trade? I mean, I'll target them, but doesn't mean I'm going to get an accepted offer.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not, I guess, targeting lower teams that people are out of it. Kind
of set on trades. I don't know. I wouldn't mind another top running back here. But no,
I'm not. I don't know. I don't ever really look at someone's record to try to swipe someone
off their team just because you know, I do. Well, there's a reason you're at the bottom
and you're not going to trade to begin with or they're going to want some unrealistic trade
when it's like your season's over, dude, like, come on, let's be smart about it. But yeah,
and the other side of the coin, I'm not out of either of my leagues. So I don't I would
I'm always open to trades like for the right offer and it's going to benefit both teams.
Like, let's do it. Pull the trigger. Let's go.
Oh, see, I'm on the like, if you're out of it, like literally mathematically out of it,
I'm coming at you saying, listen, you're literally in mathematically out of it. So why don't I
give you two players that could give you, you know, nine to 10 points ish. If they have
a good week for your player, that's more than likely going to give me 12 to 15. But dude,
I'll swoop in. No problem.
Agreed.
After those people.
Yep.
All you got to do. Listen, hey, here's the thing. All you got to do.
I get it. You're out at that except button.
You just need to stay out of last place. That's it. If you don't finish last, you're good.
You're not going to finish first. We all know that. But don't finish last, man. Don't finish
last.
I'm helping you. Let me help you help me.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. We're in this together.
All right, boys. Well, jump into kind of club check in. All in all, looking throughout
the different kind of club leagues throughout the club, really competitive looks like a
lot of teams are, you know, still fighting for playoffs with, you know, most leagues
have been one or two teams that are out of it. But otherwise, those other, you know,
eight to 10 teams are competitive, staying competitive. And, you know, it's really anyone
that's going to be in those top six. But I want to know, boys, how do you guys stay
motivated once you have been eliminated?
I mean, there's been.
There's been a lot of negative about being eliminated. If you're in last place, you're
trading this guy away. You're on the outs. Are you doing this? I don't know. I'm never
really at the bottom. So I don't know how to answer all these questions.
But no, I like for me, I think, I mean, Cody knows he's been in my league for a while.
Like I'm always down in the bottom in my league for some reasons. Like I just can never do
good in my own league. I don't know why. I don't know what it is.
Tell me about it.
I don't know what the deal is, but I think for me, it's like, man, like my biggest thing
is like, as long as I get the eighth place for regular season and make the playoffs and
I play the first place person and I can knock them out like first round, like that's what
I'm always going for is at least try to get to make the playoffs. And if I'm bottom seed,
I'm projected to lose by 20 points. Like I want to come into that first round and I want
to beat the first place guy for a regular season. So that's what keeps me motivated.
Like, and obviously, yeah, no one likes to get last, but a lot of people once they're
kind of mathematically eliminated, like people just kind of stop paying attention, which
I don't blame them because it's like what really is there to play for its pride. Well,
it's fantasy football. Like what pride is there? Like you're not getting the hottest
girl at school because you won your fantasy football league or my heart. No one's coming
and patting you on your back like, Hey, dude, great job this year in fantasy football. Like
you're doing a great job in life. Like, no, like it has nothing to do with it. So I don't
know. So I see both sides of it. Like, yeah, I don't want to lose. Always want to win.
So I don't know. I just, I think, you know, being a spoiler and, you know, upsetting someone
ahead of you when you're supposed to lose and you just have guys that go off and have
a big, big week and kind of makes the other person sad.
I gotta be honest with you. I'm a little, I take it personally like that. I'd rather
win my fantasy football league than get the hottest girl at prom.
I'm not gonna lie.
You're wrong.
Listen, Jordan, you don't get it, man. You've been in this league for three years? Four
years? This is your fourth year?
It's my fifth year from the beginning, dude. It's my time. Let me get one.
God damn it, dude.
You've had time.
I want to win it. I want to win it so bad. And honestly, I feel that way in my other
leagues too. Like that league that I was talking about earlier, the 808 league, I'm out, dude.
There's no way. Dead last. My team, I honestly, my team has put up less than a thousand points
this year.
Holy, jeez.
I lost Pacheco early.
It is half PPR. Let's make that clear to the audience.
So all I want to do right now is just fuck up, play off seeding. That's my whole thing.
It's like, you know what?
No.
I'm still active, dude. I just think it's fun. Obviously, it's not that way for everybody,
but I enjoy fantasy. You know what I mean? If I can sneak a win in onto somebody and
you know, just like Whitney did to Steven this week. You know what I mean? Steven's
right there close to the bubble fighting for his spot in that division. Whitney comes in
100% start, sit average or start, sit percentage. Excuse me. Smashes Steven. Doesn't mean anything
for anyone except for Steven.
Yeah, it makes him super sad.
Yeah. So I'm trying to be that person. If I'm out of it, yeah, absolutely. I'm trying
to come in there and ruin your day.
Yeah. Give you a win on a Sunday. Even like just one of those things that's like, you
know, just because my season's ruined, I can try to ruin yours too. Just one of those things.
It's almost like.
Nobody wants to be alone.
Yeah. It's like being petty, like just a little weasel, man. Like 100% dude. You know, I just
stuff about that, man. Just people doing that type of stuff. Like it reminds me. I don't
know if you guys ever used to play like NHL games, like online, like these newer games,
you're able to play online and it was super fun. You'd be able to pick your position,
but like these kids get super salty online and then they would just stand off sides the
whole time just to prove a point. Like so you could never bring the puck in the zone
because they just stand off sides and it's like, why? Well, you ruin my game now and
I'm ruining the game for everyone else. So it's like that type of thing where it's like,
you know, being like petty about it, but I love it. It's just like, that's the world
we live in.
Ridiculous.
It is, man. It is.
I would rather see like if I'm not in the playoffs, I don't want anybody to be in the
playoffs. Fuck all of you. This is my opinion.
Yeah, that's how it works though. Yeah, I make the playoffs.
At least if you make it as long as you're in that top bracket, man.
Yeah, that's all that matters.
So if you're in that bottom bracket, do any of your guys's leagues have last place punishments?
Oh, fuck. I mean, you guys know damn well, that's been the hardest thing for GSC to make
happen. But it's up for us because we don't have everybody like near each other. Right?
I personally, for me, I think last place punishments are one of the like they're almost as exciting
as draft day.
That's why you do the last place punishment like at the party end of season party or your
draft day, I think.
That's what I mean. I just, I don't know. I'm just going to throw this out there right
now. If you guys are in a league and you have a last place punishment, I want to hear what
it is and how you make it work because for GSC, none of us live by each other. So, so
the thing which is going out and and playing bartender doesn't work. You know, we are last
place person is a bar.
We'll see, man. She got it done. She's coming back.
She's still out of it.
If you guys have some ideas of what to do, I promise you we've been on Google. We've
seen all of them. Give me something creative here. I want to know because last place punishments
are I think a huge part of fantasy football in my opinion. I don't know how you guys feel
about it.
Yeah. I mean, for me, it's never been like that big a thing.
Like, that's because you never lose dickhead.
I never never try to come in last place, but I don't know. Yeah, there's I don't know
what like something simple that could be for everyone like you said, especially when people
are spread out across the country and you can't see each other every once in a while
or on a kind of monthly basis or something. So it makes it harder. But like Cody was saying
that if there's anyone that's got any ideas or stuff they do for their leagues, like obviously
seeing the stuff someone's got to get a tattoo or stuff like that, like, I don't know, it's
against my religion to get tattoos. So I can't do that.
Shut up, Jordan.
So I don't know. Yeah. Just curious. Like I'm sure there's plenty of crazy ones out
there that people do for last place punishments for their leagues. So yeah, I'd be curious
to hear what some people do.
I don't know if you remember just a couple of weeks ago, you said if you win it for a
third time in four years, you were going to get 90 10 tattooed on your teddy.
I don't remember that.
Yeah, go run it back. It's okay.
We'll find the clip.
Yeah, we'll have to find that.
I don't know. I would love to do a last place punishment, man. It's just it's super tough
because man, some of that stuff is super humiliating. Like the sports illustrated body
issue, body issue or calendar.
There's some good ones out there, man. Let us know in the comments. Seriously, guys,
if you have ideas for last place punishment, I want to hear it because we need to figure
out something for GSC.
Cool. Well, moving on next with the hot topic of the week here, I know Cody brought it up
earlier talking about MVP and rookie of the year.
Rookie of the year for this year is going to be pretty interesting. I think coming in
the year everyone was Caleb Williams train. There was so much hype around him. He needs
help with an offensive line.
I don't think he is all to blame there. But I think the top two guys are bow Nix and Jaden
Daniels. But I think for me, man, bow Nix, like I think I texted Cody. Baby, it was
probably Cody was like probably week two or three. Like I was texting Cody about the broncos
like, man, this is hard to watch. Like this is ugly. And like, I hate to say it. Like
I dropped Cortland Sutton after he put up zero points. And since Cortland Sutton put
up zero points, he's just been on fire like every game, every week, like next just seems
to find him. He's his, he's his deep, deep ball guy, touchdown guy. I don't know. Next
looks good for me, man. I think he's got more yards, more touchdowns than Daniels. He just,
I don't know. For me, he might be the rookie of the year for me so far. I don't know how
you guys are feeling.
Yeah, I mean, I think for me, I think Jaden Daniels is still up there. But I mean, it's
going to be close with these two. I mean, it's it's really down to these two. It's there's
no one else compete for rookie of the year.
Okay. So I was fully on board, Jordan. We were talking about this on an episode earlier
this season that not only might Jaden Daniels get rookie of the year, but he might be going
for MVP. And I was on board with that. But I saw an interesting quote and I want to shout
out B when 409 for sharing this with me in the GSC club, a quote that I found very interesting.
And I kind of agree with it. It says the league is figuring out Jaden Daniels while bonix is
figuring out the league. And I love that because this 38 to six beat down against Atlanta.
He looked good, man. I think Sean Payton is doing.
I think he's doing a great job with him. You know what I mean? He wanted the guy from
the start and they're starting to get that camaraderie together. They're starting to
understand each other. They're starting to communicate that way. They know what the other
one is thinking and it's starting to show on the field. They almost beat the undefeated
chiefs last week. That had nothing to do with bonix and the offense. You know what I'm
saying? Like bonix, let's go. Nick's the fixed dude. You know, I'm a Broncos fan, but
he's up there, man. And they have a chance to make the playoffs and the commanders are
on the bubble of not making the playoffs. So if that happens, bonix has got my vote,
dude. Yeah.
Yeah, I completely agree. He's good, man. It's, I don't know. It's weird to see. I'm
happy for Denver. Like I hope this is their guy finally. It's just.
It's about goddamn time. It's like, I feel like we bring this up like every week or every
other week about franchise quarterbacks, about teams looking for that guy after you lose,
you know, so I think we brought it up with Russell Wilson, you know, after Steelers lost
Rothesberger, you know, there's never been a permanent, permanent guy there. You know,
I don't think Russ is the longterm fix. If we get four good years out of Russ and he
plays good, like I, I take that. I don't know if that's going to happen, but I think you're
always looking for that, that main guy to come in and be your franchise quarterback
and speaking of franchise quarterbacks. I think we got a two guys maybe that are leading
the league for the front runner for MVP. I think it's coming down to Josh Allen and Lamar
Jackson right now. I think they're both having great years. Nothing to take away from Lamar,
you know, with Adam Derek Henry, obviously that helps him big time. Josh Allen, man,
he doesn't, I mean, they try to firm Mari Cooper. He hasn't done much there. He's had
a couple of big catches for Allen, but I don't know if you guys saw that play that Allen
had that touchdown over Kansas city that just, he's, I mean, he's, he's just such a big guy,
like watching him run. He's so fast. He doesn't look like he's running that fast, but he's
pretty quick and I don't know. These two friend VP, man, I don't know. I mean, it's hard to
pick one over the other without justifying why the other guy shouldn't win it. So it's
hard to pick one.
I think before this weekend, it was Lamar, but if you can't beat the Steelers in your
own division and on the flip side, you beat the undefeated chiefs that makes it a lot
closer, man. I'm not saying like hats off to Lamar. He's a magician, man. He's insane.
I love him. I love watching him play. Josh Allen, man. Good Lord. Thank God. I, we're
going to talk about it in the next segment, but I think he's up there. He has to be a
man, especially after losing to fondigs. You know what I mean? Like the offense didn't
look great to start the year and he still led them to what are they, eight and two now,
nine and two, eight and two.
Yeah.
Let's go. It's, it's so fun. That's, that's the way I look at this. Like it's frustrating
to me that MVP vote comes down to quarterback nine times out of 10. I thought Christian McCaffrey
should have gotten MVP last year, but when you watch these two guys play, especially
this year, Lamar is playing better than he did last year.
Yeah. He already has more touchdowns.
Yeah.
He's insane. But then I watched Josh Allen play and I'm like, this dude, when you, when
you literally break it down, most valuable player, Josh Allen has brought the bills
from what nobody thought was going to be a relevant team to, yeah, we're eight and two,
nine and two. And also we just knocked off the chiefs. So I don't know if that's not
what MVP is. I don't know what is.
Yeah. I think Josh Allen right now probably would be my front runner, but still a lot
of football to play boys.
That's true.
Yeah.
That is true.
So with these last games do coming down the stretch and speaking of games, we got our
games of the week for this week. We had some, some, I think some big games last week we
picked pretty sure you guys both pick Buffalo and the chiefs.
And the only reason I did that was because we can't all three pick the same. It was kind
of like with the Steelers and Ravens, like you guys both picked Baltimore and you guys
picked wrong. Like it's Steelers. Come on, dude. Baltimore can't beat them. Something
about this.
Cody and I only got last week. We only got Buffalo. Jordan, you got two. So you and
I would have got three. I wanted to go Buffalo. Like I said, the only reason I didn't is because
you both picked Buffalo. So I wanted to be opposite, but I betting wise, anything else
wise I was picking Buffalo. Like I had them winning that. I wanted them to win that. I
figured they were going to win that at home. So I'm glad they did no more undefeated teams.
So we don't have to worry about any of that. But we got some, we got some big games this
week.
I know there's a lot of, a lot of teams that need to win, you know, this week, if they're
going to want to stay in the playoffs, I think more so in the AFC and the NFC, but I don't
know, both divisions are kind of tight. So I'm, I'm going with a pretty big NFC matchup.
The 49ers at the Packers. Yes.
I think this is a, I don't want to say I must win for San Fran, but they need this man.
They, they, I don't know. I don't know what it is. Like they look good at times. And then
other times they just, they look bad. Discombobulated. Like just not all on the same page. I don't
know. And the Packers man, they're what seven and three and I know some weeks it's like
houses team one a game, you know, turnovers and mistakes they have, but I'm rolling with
the Packers at home on this.
Oh shit.
And what is it?
Yeah.
Go ahead.
No, that's all you.
I was then talking about the Debo Samuel amounts leaving San Francisco after he choked
in people.
I don't know. Okay. I'll just jump in here. I'll just say the Packers saved me in my survivor
league this week. How they pull that off in Chicago.
Lucky.
It was close man. And looking at it on paper, you know, prior to the weekend, I didn't think
it should have been that close, but I kind of feel the same way about San Francisco.
It's like, yeah, like they should be a great team when sometimes it's like, why the fuck
is this game so close right now? You know what I mean? So I don't know. I put Debo on
the outs in a situation as, you know, I said this earlier in the season on the podcast
that I think the Niners get bounced probably in the wild card and he might be gone, dude.
And I just, I look for him to be that breakout player. I have him in our main league, but
I don't know man, going to Lambo. How's the weather? You know what I mean? Like that's
kind of the thing for me. I could see this is a toss up for me. I think I'll take the
Niners in this one.
I'm going to go Green Bay. I'll take Green Bay in this one. And then I'll just, my game
of the week, I really am liking this Philly at the Rams matchup.
Is that Sunday night, Monday night?
This is Sunday night football and I'm really liking this matchup. I want to see, you know,
how Seguan does against this D because the Rams D has, has looked pretty decent on the
run or versus the run. But I really like this game. Want to see, you know, how, how the Rams
really match up because the Rams aren't out of it. And, you know, they're getting everyone
kind of back into the swing of things with Cup and Puka. But I think I'm going to go
with Philly in this game. I just like Philly in this matchup. So I'm going to ride with
the hand that's hot and that's Philly.
I agree. That's Philly's D has been super impressive lately. And I don't know. It's
in LA. I don't really care too much about that. But I agree. Give me Philly. I won't
go too far there.
Well, I'm going to, you guys both picked Philly. So you know what that means. I got to pick
the Rams. That's who I was picking before either of you guys picked honestly. I just
think the Rams are going to come out. I think if Stafford gets any type of time, that secondary
in Philadelphia is going to be exposed by Nekua and Cup. I think they're going to explode
for 200 yards between the two of them. So it's going to be a big game, big win for the
Rams to get them back in the intention there in the NFC West. So I'm picking the Rams.
I like it. I like it. I got to say that's, I want to go to that stadium, man.
Be cool.
Yeah. That's up there with USA, the US bank and Mercedes Benz Stadium. I want to see that's
so bad.
Yeah, that would be cool.
All right. The Olympics last one swimming there.
Yeah.
That's so crazy how they're going to do that. Yeah.
They did it at Lucas oil for the time trials.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah. Let's build it and pump in a bunch of water.
So one.
All right, guys. Last game of the week here. I'm going again, two weeks in a row, go with
the easy one. Give me Monday night football. Give me the Harbaugh Bowl. I want Chargers
versus Ravens. I look forward to this. Last time these two coaches played each other in
the NFL was the Super Bowl. Am I wrong about that?
I think you're right. Unless they played each other in the regular season after that.
But either way, the big marquee, the Harbaugh Bowl and the Super Bowl when all the lights
went out. I don't know. I just think there's a lot of excitement behind this game. Both
teams pretty much right there. Seven at four versus seven and three. Ravens coming off
of a tough one, man. One that I think they shouldn't have lost, but Pittsburgh's playing
well. Chargers. Man. What's up? Dude, he talk about coach of the year. He's got him playing
really well. Herbert's playing well. Defense is playing well. J.K. Dobbins. Comeback player
of the year.
Comeback player of the year. Yes, sir. I can't wait for this game. This is what primetime
football should be all about right here.
I will say this while we're on the topic of J.K. Dobbins. Thank you, sir, for not allowing
Gus Edwards to take over your backfield. You trying to trade him?
Send an offer.
Save us. I need a running back, man. I got to beat Steven this week. Make it juicy. Make
it juicy. You need to win. Not me. I can afford another loss, buddy. You can't. Just
saying.
Just saying.
So are you picking in this game then, Cody? Give me the Ravens, man. They're fired up.
Lamar Jackson is not going to go back to back ales. I don't care. He's, uh, we talked about
it. He's MVP candidate. The Ravens know they should have won that game last weekend. They're
going to come out. They're going to have a game plan. Give me Ravens.
You know, man, you're not going. Chargers.
Don't come. You're not going to do it. Just go with the clean sweep in one game this week.
You know, there's no way.
I don't know. I don't. I don't know, man. I think the Chargers are playing. They're
tough right now, man. I think they're a tough. Good, right?
I think, and I think if they're down, I think Herbert can't throw that ball and they do have
receivers and playmakers around Herbert to make plays.
Oh, man. I don't know, man. I've, I, and I, to the Ravens point, I think after it's
in Baltimore, though, yeah, what the Steelers did to them, I think the Ravens are going
to come out and try to put up like 40, you know, like what Detroit's doing.
I was wrong.
It's in LA. Um, man, I don't know. I'm, I'm, I'm going to take the Chargers boys. I'm
going to go opposite to games on you guys again. So I'm going to take the Chargers.
I don't, I don't know, man. I think they're just rolling right now. Like they're, you
know, they're the underdog like every week. No one's picking them. No one wants them to
win. I don't want them to win, but somehow they're winning.
Oh, what do you mean? You don't want them to win. You have Lamar on your team.
I'm talking about the Chargers.
I got us. I don't like the Chargers. Like it's kind of like Cowboys. I don't want them
to win. Yeah, I know, but I'm picking them to win.
Oh, no, I want, yeah. Oh, I want them all in eight hours to go off for like 60 combined,
but it's to be a 50 to 49 game. Yeah. It could be like a 40 to 37 type game. I'm fine with
that. Like, but I'm, I'm going to take the Chargers.
Keep an eye out Monday night football. I'll be honest, man. I don't hate it. I don't hate
it. We'll see. It should be some good games.
All right. Well, that'll do it for another episode of the Get Sunday Covered podcast.
