Let's get it on, baby. It's week three. It's
done and gone. And I don't know about you guys,
but this fantasy stuff has got me absolutely
exhausted already. It's the Get Sunday Covered
podcast. I am your host, Cody. And check it out.
Brandon's back. Hello. We are down, Jordan, once
again. I hope he's having fun camping. I wish
I was there. It's camping, fly fishing, doing
his damn thing, but he will be. You know what
this throws it back today. This throws it back
to the good old times, to the to the OG year
one. Yes, sir. Yes, it does. Yes. Shout out Jordan
for coming on last year, though. We love you.
We appreciate you. Oh, he will be back. He will
be back. I hope you have fun camping. You know
what happened last year though, is last time
he left to do this, because this happened last
season, he came back and he got sicker than a
dog. He caught COVID in the forest. I don't know
who does that. I don't know how you do that.
As far away from people as you can be, this guy
got COVID in the forest and was down bad for
like 10 days. Jordan? Out in the sticks. Take
some vitamin C. Drink Gatorade. Get your shit
together. Because the way this season is going
right now, we're going to need you back. We are.
Jordan. Yeah, we got to do some talking, my friend.
That's for sure. We'll see. You and I have been
in chats, so we'll see what happens. Cody, you
and I have to talk to. Yeah, we got some stuff
to figure out well dude with all the stuff that's
going on right now like I Mean like we should
have the conversations with everybody at this
point How you been welcome to the week three
episode Dude it is so crazy for one I I'm going
to be honest. I'm so happy in one way or another.
I'm out. I dropped one of my leagues this week.
And not maybe you dropped it. Oh, I know what
you mean. You dropped it. I got dropped. I got
chopped in the chop league guillotine. I do my
team. Hot garbage this week, and I was not good
like. Dude, it was so bad. And I was just like,
you know what like in my head after everything
I was like as Weird as it is. I was genuinely
like, you know, I'm I'm kind of okay with it
because I'm like I have one less thing to worry
about Week in and week out and I am just so busy
right now that I was like, I feel like I can
actually I have a little bit of a breathing room
right now and not stress about waivers for a
whole other league. I'm super glad that you feel
that way. I just because I'm an only child and
I want to take this very personally. I want to
let you know that I am I am hurt by you being
chopped this week because I'm hurt too. But not
only are you gone, but this week it was you.
Last week it was Mama T. Now I'm left to deal
with all these other fuckers that are really
good at fantasy football bro Come on man Give
me give me a friend in the chop league, but you
did you dropped it man. You should have spent
four hundred and fifty one dollars on Josh Allen
like I did Dude I I genuinely was just hoping
I got to the point where it was like week eight
week nine And everyone kind of had spent their
fab and I was able to just kind of like pick
up bits and pieces. That's what I'm scared of.
And that's what my goal was for. It was like,
make it like halfway, like week seven through
nine, then kind of just start to spend just enough.
And then once everyone was out, it was it was
it would be no problem, right? Like, that's the
other thing in that league. You got to have.
Money because once people start dropping and
as it continues to go What are you gonna do when
you're at zero and the guy you're against is
literally has? $30 he's if you have zero. I'm
sorry. I'm the I'm gonna be the asshole that
goes alright I'm gonna put a dollar on every
single one of these people that I want and You
can fuck right off. I'm taking everyone I want
so Well, we're going to touch on some of the
rest of our GSE leagues later in this episode.
But I do I do just want to throw this out there
right there to get to get it going. The Chopped
League, obviously lowest scoring team in the
league, is eliminated each week. If you're not
in it, we wish you were. For those of you that
you are in it. I'm having a blast. And last week
was full. We did 17 players. Yeah, puts us. Pretty
much through the whole season. I wouldn't I've
done the full 18 because that last week Fantasy
is crazy. Anyway, yeah So for last week when
mama T got eliminated She obviously when you
get eliminated all of your players go in the
waiver wire, right in the fab system, you're
basically trying to spend money. This is a thousand
dollar pool. And she lost Josh Allen. All right.
That's fine. It is what it is. I wanted Josh
Allen. And I'm like, dude, how much of this do
I friggin spend? Like, I think I put like maybe
a hundred dollars on him. I was like, all right,
whatever. Dude, in week one, I was like in the
at risk category, like I could have been chopped
in week one. And I'm like, you know what? I got
to upgrade for sure. Let me go get Josh Allen.
I've never done this before. Like with, with
this kind of league with a thousand dollars with
a fab, I'm like, I need to go make sure this
happens. And I'm like, you know what? I'm going
to do 40 % of my fab 400 bucks. Like, you know
what? That's probably not enough. Let's do 450.
Like, you know what? I'm probably not the only
person that is thinking. That's the amount that
you got to spend let me do 451 and dead -ass
dude. I got Josh Allen For 451 versus the second
highest bidder at 450 and I have never been more
excited in my life So I am alive and well in
the chop league. I'm sorry you're gone, but guys
that's all the kind of stuff that we are going
to talk about on this episode we've got the week
three takeaways we're going to check in with
the gsc main league all the guys that we are
playing with that we've been playing with for
the last 10 years and talk about that A lot of
injuries. Obviously, if you guys are paying attention,
you're well aware. You know what's going on.
We are going to talk about that a little bit.
And then we've got the game of the week. And
obviously, without Jordan, went ahead and filled
that in for him. But Brandon, what do you say
we get it started with a quick question? You
ready? Hit me. All right. I want to know if you
could take any player, fantasy relevant player.
We're thinking fantasy here, right? We're not
thinking real. Actual football fantasy relevant
player if you could take any player and put him
on a different team, who would it be and why?
I Mean first one that comes to mind I'd love
to see someone like Jacobi Myers On a shout out
Vegas could you could you imagine the damage
you might do with someone like I don't know Mahomes.
Someone like Lamar. Could you imagine him in
Buffalo? Doc, Jacopo Meyers was nice in New England.
That's what I'm saying. You know, like he slept
on a little bit. I think that's a good pick,
man. Like I would be very curious to see him
on a different team. Like like be a solid wide
receiver one for a team. I mean, he is wide receiver
one for Vegas, but I just low bar. Yeah, that
that's exactly it. There's no depth. He wasn't
wide receiver one behind Devante Adams, you know.
Correct. Correct. But he put up. Better, better
numbers. I mean, you guys feel free to fact check
me on that, but. He was nice He was nice. He's
solid. I would love to see him on a different
team where the quarterback wasn't necessarily
I Just live I I don't even know if it's necessarily
Gino. That's the problem I would just I think
a different scheme for him and a pass first offense
might be Better suited. Yeah, I mean completely
unrelated but As the Ashton Gentile owner, I
feel like you could make the same argument for
him. Like, come on, Chip Kelly. Schema dog. Like
it. Yeah, it. It just seems like everything so
much is focused on Brock Bowers nowadays. It's
kind of meh. Within Vegas, at least. What about
you? Oh buddy, um I I thought about this for
a long time and I think this is The decision
that I made is really like based off of this
year. Mm -hmm But it's also has a lot to do with
last year I want to see Brian Thomas jr. On a
different team If you guys know me, you know
my opinions. I think Trevor Lawrence is Super
overrated. I don't think he's a good quarterback.
I don't think he's ever been a good quarterback.
I think he's at best mediocre I would look I
will personally say this and Don't shoot the
messenger Miami if you do not bench to a you
are going to go I give you five wins max regardless
with to or not five wins max. You guys are thinking
you're putting two in the same category as Trevor
Lawrence to us trash to do. I'm going to be honest.
Miami's better with Zach Wilson than to. As a
Broncos fan, I've seen. Zach Wilson played it.
I don't know if that's accurate, but I would
much rather have Zach Wilson in my backfield
than to I'll say. Also, Russell Wilson is hot
garbage. How do we go from Brian Thomas Jr. to
Tua and. Russell just had to get it out this
week. You're not wrong to hear that. Hey, by
the way. Obviously, you guys probably already
seen, but Jackson Dart is starting this week.
Put in James Winston first. Let's go. Let's go.
I'll say it. I'll say it. Hell no. Trade James
Winston to the Bengals, dude. Or, I don't know,
San Francisco. I mean, Mac Jones. I get it. Purdy's
come back. Calm down. Yeah. Also, Carson Wentz,
Minnesota. What the blowout that seems nice dangerous
Anyway Brian Thomas jr. Feet back to be BTJ So
I just see I think he's a great receiver dude.
I he was fantastic last year But Jordan made
the point, you know a couple episodes go like
not all of that was with Trevor Lawrence. I just
I'd you know how like at work you can identify
the people that are, you know, like natural leaders
and they're the ones that are going to get the
promotion and, you know, like go a tier up and
be able to handle more responsibility. Yep. I
think sometimes hypothetically that maybe Trevor
Lawrence has reached that cap, right? Like he's
never going to bust through that ceiling. Bust
through the ceiling and Become that like star
in the NFL. I just don't think he has it in it
Yeah, I mean I mean what if And hear me out unpopular
opinion what if you just like went and like buzzed
his hair off and Got a hand tattoo Just get a
little edgy with it You know what I mean? Get
a little character in his life. A little? I don't
know, dude. That was way left field, I suppose.
But I don't think he's got it, dude. I don't
think he's a good quarterback. I really don't.
I would love to see Brian Thomas Jr. You mentioned
Mahomes. Sure. Send him to the Chiefs. Give him
to Josh Allen. Send him to the Broncos, dude.
Put him on the opposite side of Cortland Sutton
The dudes a baller and I mean I'll say it put
him on the opposite side of Pittman jr. And Indy
No respect for Josh Downs there I Mean I I mean
BTJ is better. Let's be real Be that would be
a dangerous offense, I mean The revival of Daniel
Jones is is real Malik said it himself. He said
the quarterbacks not yeah Yeah, oh he did. Yeah
Yeah, he did all the scheme room Yeah It's just
interesting to think about if you guys have any
ideas or thoughts or players that you want to
say, drop them in the comments. I want to hear
that because it's so frustrating to see these
players that, you know, have the potential to
be great and then just aren't. And it's also
really easy to point the blame. What about the
fall off of CJ Stroud, bro? God, look at Joe
Burrow. Joe Burrow is fantastic. And if you can't
protect him, he's not going to be good. CJ Shroud
just looks awful. Yeah, but he has to make a
decision in like point two seconds. I agree.
He hasn't given him some time. Line. So I'm saying
like. Yeah, we we could have that conversation.
We can go days for it. Let's be fair. Absolutely,
absolutely. Like think about to how great could
to be if he Now that's a bad example to as a
terrible example Sorry I'm gonna be fair here
The minute to a loses his job his career is done
No one's gonna once it's a liability thing at
that was gonna Would you want to go pick up Tula?
No. I wouldn't want to breathe onto it the wrong
way. Case of point. Yeah. It's a fair point.
I get that. What about like? I don't know. Think
about some of these running backs that are on.
Trash seems like. Does Brice Hall become what
everybody expected Brice Hall to be? Behind a
line like Denver or Baltimore or something like
that, you know. Does he? I mean, don't get me
wrong, I. They have tried. With that offensive
line, like obviously you brought in Aaron Rogers
for, you know, two years. So you you you've tried
to beef up that lasted 48 seconds. Yeah. And
that's my literally the hype of Aaron Rodgers
lasted 48 seconds. Come on. I just want to say
I still think Pittsburgh's winning that division.
We might end up touching on that later on in
the episode. It's just crazy to think about,
you know, like fantasy football is all about
the Hypotheticals and you know, like should have
done this could have done that whatever that's
just That was a question that popped in my head
today is like dude You imagine if this player
was on a different team how great I would have
looked in my draft You know what I mean Malik
neighbors. You mentioned it earlier. Like, come
on, man. Could you imagine him somewhere else?
That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying.
Like what low key one of the greatest receivers
in the league and. He's going to spend the first.
Two and a half, three years of his career. Trying
to build a rapport and, you know, learn the system
and. who knows watch he's probably gonna he's
probably gonna here's what's gonna happen with
the giants he's gonna build a rapport with jackson
dart and then the head coach is gonna fucking
buy and they're gonna come back in and they're
gonna revamp everything it's gonna be a whole
new fucking system dart's gonna have to learn
it neighbor's gonna have to learn it and it's
gonna be another three years of learning the
system he's gonna fucking waste away And you
know what I'm doing if I'm Malik neighbors. Bye.
Either that or. I'm doing exactly what Saquon
did. Peace. Yeah. I'm going to play twice a year.
I'm going to go to the division rival and I'm
going to kick your ass twice a year. And oh,
by the way, I'm going to go get some rings. Yeah.
Congratulations, Saquon. You deserve it. Work.
cool story by the way with Saekwon like deserved
bounce from the giants to the eagles and you
get a a ring in your first year like and you
literally could have set the single see the single
game rushing record against your old team and
you're like nah let the young fellas eat yeah
they know what i can do they i've already beat
their ass they know what i can do i'm good i
i i proved my point That's some big dick energy
right there dude, that is just a bad motherfucker
energy right there that is You ain't touching
me and I Already let them eat their own fucking
Shit fuck them move on. Yeah. Yeah, I get them
twice a year. I'm good That's why fantasy football
fucking sucks because Nobody knows what's gonna
happen or when it's gonna happen and I don't
care what analysts you listen to it's kind of
why we ditched the whole analyst analysis thing
because They just tell us the stats man. They
just tell us the stats. That's all it is. That's
all it is Oh this guy's this guy's the leader
going in this is his average. Oh, that's we want
to play it Oh, you want to play this guy? This
is where he ranks Guys we did try to do that
just so you know for those of you that are listening
we did try to do that and try to Quantify like
who said what and who's the most accurate you
know what I know what it did the margin is so
small It's so it one week where it was like Who
was it it was pick? This wide receiver over this
one, and I was like all right. I went with it
Lost by four points And I was like, and you know
what the other guy did? Outscored him by 10.
And I was like, I'm gonna go with my gut feeling
moving forward. You know what Jordan would be
saying if he was here? 90, 10. 90, 10, baby.
90, 10, 100%. And he's not wrong. There is a
little method to the madness, but he's not wrong.
This is like the same as... and welcome to Vegas.
Again, everybody, this is the same as walking
up to a slot machine and be like, you know what?
I'm gonna put 50 bucks into this. And you just
like, do your thing, see what happens. Do all
the research you want. All right, let's move
it along, Brandon. Week three takeaways, we've
got a lot of injuries. I know, at least in a
bunch of my leagues, there are a handful of teams
that are 3 -0. Unfortunately, a couple of others
that are 0 -3. Yep. What are you seeing? What
kind of moves are you making? What kind of moves
are you seeing? I feel like personally, I'm just
going to start this segment off by saying, I
feel like it's happening quicker this year. Yeah.
Feel like everyone is really For one I feel like
the waiver is not nearly as Everyone that's on
I mean you have what maybe one to three people
a week that are really targets and waiver wires
and Then are you really wanting to go try and
do that or you're trying to make trades like
I know for me I'm not necessarily like massively
targeting the waiver wire. Obviously, biggest
pick up this today is going to be Trey Tucker
without a doubt. Trey Benson, Trey Benson, like
it. Everyone's going to go pick him up for me
in most of my leagues. Benson's already picked
up. Trey Tucker is going to be the other one.
And I mean, for me, in Couple of my leagues.
I have Jacobi So am I really gonna go try and
target him? Probably not Just doesn't make a
sense to me, but what I am doing is sending out
trade offers like crazy I Sent Cody one. I sent
Jordan one. I sent Whitney one never will hear
back on that one sent Joe one Set a bunch Dude,
I've literally sent like probably. Is this is
this your message to everyone? Say, please respond
to me. Don't know me. No, genuinely, like I'm
literally just sending trade offers out. Like,
I mean, I sent one to Jordan and I thought it
was pretty fair. And he's like, yeah, I mean,
he's like, give me the weekend. Obviously, he's
camping. I know he's busy. Probably has got zero
to no cell service. Not a big deal. I think you
won. You and I were going back and forth and
you're like, yeah, we're still going to chat
about it. Not too bad. I mean, it gives you a
crutch. I think that's the best part behind that.
It's it's just interesting because you were at
the you at the beginning of the year were like,
no, I don't want to do it. And now and now you're
actually considering it a matter of bro. Let's
let's touch on this because Correct me if I'm
wrong, but not even a week and a half ago two
weeks. I made you an offer for James Connor Now
as shitty as it is he goes down but Okay, I'll
have you know also that was not the only offer
that I had for James Connor and I turned them
all down and You know what? I'm gonna go on a
little tangent right here You know, when you're
at your draft and you're doing your research
and you have those players that you just avoid
100%. I feel low key that is James Connor for
me. Same. So I actually did this research for
me. I went back as far as I could in all of my
leagues in sleeper. Now I've been playing prior
to sleepers. I didn't get that data. But I went
back in all of my drafts in all of my leagues.
I have never once drafted James Connor. Obviously.
He's been a relevant fantasy player. He's been
decent. I just haven't been into it. Injuries.
Yes. Right. You know, like for whatever reason
it was, I just never have. And I have always.
Like. Purposely avoided him in drafts and this
year. We started getting to that point in our
draft where I was like, okay, I have one running
back. If I don't take the best available running
back right now, I'm really going to be fucked.
So I'm going to go ahead and take him. So I did,
I drafted James Connor. This is what I'm talking
about. This is why James Connor, Najee Harris,
I stay away from certain players. At the end
of the day, you never know what the hell is going
to happen. Dude, to be fair, like, bro, like,
are you fucking kidding me? Like to be 100 percent
honest with you, I've I've never had Burrow until
this year. What happens? I was like, Burrow gets
injured. Well, I'll be honest, I was super happy
that I was able to cash in on Burrow in the one
year that he was just like fantastic. Like. Uh,
but I mean, that's, that's the type of shit that's
going on, man. Like I, I dropped Kittle in week
one. Burrow dropped in week two. So there goes
my T Higgins value. And now my fourth round running
back fifth round running back gone. Yeah, dude,
I'm, I'm freaking out a little bit. I'll be honest
with you. And it's. What's, what's crazy to me
is that all of this is happening with crazy games,
like crazy fantasy relevant games. So you're
saying like in each waiver wire and like all
of your waiver wires in your league, so there's
one to, you know, three people or whatever. I
guarantee you, dude, there's leagues out there
that have the Trey Benson's available. and the
Trey Tucker's available. And if it's fab, if
it's rolling waiver, if it's making trades, like,
dude, we talked about it last year, like how,
like how, like are you making trades right now?
How quickly, dude, right now is like when you
gotta go, like you gotta make some frigging moves.
Especially - You can't hold back. I feel like
this year, it's literally like, I feel like every
single day I'm like looking through a different
league, if not multiple. And I'm like, all right,
I'm sending out an offer. I'm sending out an
offer. And I'm just like, fuck, dude, like I'm
just like trying to see if people are even going
to respond, if people are even like considering
it and just like even modifying it and, you know,
giving me some kind of. Counter offer. Yeah,
it's it's it's rough. Let's just say that it's.
Rough. It is. I mean. Yeah, I just I don't know,
man. I'm just in this. Looking at this season
and I'm just like, all right, well, fuck. Guess
guess this is going to be the year that I have,
and it is what it is. Well, it's easy to fall
into that, right? You have a rough start. It's
easy to fall into that. You got to keep playing
though. And that's kind of the point that I was
trying to transition into is like, I don't know
how much football you watch this weekend. You
had a big weekend with you and your family. Congratulations,
by the way. There are some badass games this
weekend and a lot of like weird shit happened.
I literally got home, caught pretty much the
tail end of the Patriots Steelers game and witching
our essentially with red zone. That's kind of
what I do. I watch my patriots and put on red
zone in multiview and go with that. Yeah, perfect.
That's the only way to do it for me. Like, I've
got to have one side with my team so I'm able
to watch them. And then the other side, I can
watch all the other shit. I don't care. And then
like. I'm not trying to manifest anything or
speak hypothetically, but the games in week three
and the things that have happened this year in
fantasy football and in regular football, it
just feels different to me this year. It feels
like there's some sort of weird energy. Shut
up, my bonsai tree in the back. There's some
weird shit going on in football right now. And
like I encourage all of you if you're listening
like be active dude because the weird shit to
me doesn't feel like it's gonna stop three games
with blocked field goals in the last like five
minutes like What to to return for touchdowns,
I are you kidding me like what is going on right
now and it's interesting to think about like
All of these names that you see on your waiver
wire, you're like, ah, he hasn't done anything.
Give it a week, man. You're going to be spending
60 percent of your fab to get that guy. You know,
right. Tucker, like you were talking about. Come
on, man. You got to make this stuff happen right
now. Well, and here's the other. What happens?
What happens when you get to week seven, week
eight, when another huge running back goes down?
You know, it's going to happen. Let's be fair.
And, you know, it's it's every season. You have
two or three go down week seven through 10. Yeah.
You spend in all your time now because. Don't
get me wrong, I get it, but what if one of those
running backs is is one of your starters and
you're down to 30 percent of your fab? I go,
huh? OK, that's all you got. You've got. I've
got 90 % of mine and all I have to do is just
outbid you by a dollar, outbid everyone by a
dollar and he's mine. No one can do anything
about it. I've always realized that within our
league is like I think last year was maybe the
first year like I ran through like Over 50 %
of my fab by week Seven But then the rest of
the year I I mean I still had fat Everyone else
is out within you know, five six weeks Yeah Fat
if you guys aren't playing in fab it makes it
way more interesting in my opinion like I makes
it fair is it It does, and that's kind of what
I was trying to get at. I play in a lot of leagues,
and I would say a good 75 % of them are pretty
casual, right? They're not like our GSC leagues
that we play in, where everybody's involved,
everybody's trying to win, everybody's playing
for money. But the ones where we are, man, fab
is the way to go. If you're not playing fab,
you should. Just give it a try. The way that
we introduced Fab into the Get Sunday Covered
main league was through an experimental league,
which is now our Reaper League. Just see how
we liked it. Just see how we felt about it. Still
our experimental league. Like our Reaper League
is our experimental league where we test everything
out. Like this year we're doing what? League
median. Yeah, we got the median this year. So
like we're we test out these things each and
every year. Yeah, all the rule changes, all the
scoring changes, all that stuff that you want
to implement into your league. Just create a
second league. Then you can have a year of data
under the belt and you can actually be able to
present that to your league and be like, do we
want to go through with this? You you at least
some people love it. Some people hate it. We
at least have At the end of the year, it gives
us an option of things to go over for the next
season. Me personally, like, and I don't want
to speak for everybody in our league, but I think
it's been pretty well received all around when
it comes to fab. Oh, I love it. It gives you
instead of looking at your waiver wires and saying,
oh, well, I really want this player, but I'm
seventh in the order. And I know that everybody
wants this player. No. Who's gonna bid the most
right? It's kind of the same as an auction draft,
which is a whole nother monster That's a that's
a whole nother monster. But if you're gonna try
fab, dude, seriously I I think every league should
be a fab type of league. Yeah, I agree I won't
I won't camp on that too long Speaking of what
we're doing with our league Brandon. What do
you say we jump into? talking about our league
a little bit. We started this podcast to kind
of cover our league and how we're playing and
how our players are doing and the involvement
and stuff like that. Let's jump into the GSC
main check in, man. It's been a while. Dude,
to be honest, I'm pretty upset over this last
weekend. I actually felt pretty decent like halfway
through Sunday. I was like, oh, I actually like
I might have a chance here. Nope, I'm I hope
psych denied My shit said nope Got your ass gave
you a sliver of hope and snatched that shit right
out for you. Yeah fantasy I'll do that to you
button. I was just like, oh But you know what?
It's okay. I still At least scored a hundred
points. Oh Good job And if I honestly right now
with the way everything's gone for me as long
as I score a hundred points a week, I'm okay
Like That's that's how I feel with my team bro,
like dude I have Danny dimes as my starting quarterback.
No, don't get me wrong. I think he has proven
he is worthy of that Roll this season so far
It's amazing. You said it you said it on the
last episode once you get out of New York and
Your G I mean He's the QB for on the year Yeah
Let's break it down real quick sir Get Sunday
covered First place with another good start to
the year. Any guesses? Stefan, it's easy. Doc.
Prince Ali Ali Ababwa. Shout out Aladdin, dude,
for all of you millennials that are in the crowd
that are listening. Starting off three, you know
solid team picked up Herbert on the waiver by
the way Devon a Chan Jordan Mason Drake London
DK Metcalf and Mecca egg Bucca Brock Bowers Bachel
Tutin and the Seahawks defense who came through
clutch sitting three, you know We've had him
on the show before go ahead and check back into
our player exclusive episodes Very fun interview
that we did with him. A lot of insight, a lot
of good conversation with him sitting pretty
at first overall. Brandon, how you feeling about
Stefan's team? It'll be curious to see how he
does when Aaron Jones comes back. I worry about
Drake London. Agbuka be curious once Godwin and
Evans are both back Is the Fantasy curse real
for Stefan if you guys have been following along
for a couple of years last year Stefan changed
his team name to choking hazard because he is
consistently one of the best regular season managers
in Arrow League. We're talking double digit wins
every single year, first place in the division,
can not. It's the buying round one. It's the
buy one that screws him every year. Is that a
real thing? Don't know but I'll say it is cuz
is it too early to start saying that it's a real
thing I mean, you know start for Stefan. He's
gone by round two. I Don't know I'm clipping
this when I edit this I'm clipping it. I'm just
saying like now Brother repeat it one more time
I'm not gonna do it. Is is that a real thing,
dude? The best in the regular season and in the
postseason, dude, he just can't get there. And
with this team, when I look at it. I don't know,
dude. You said it, Drake, London scares me, a
chance scares me. I don't like the Dolphins,
but he's three and oh, man, we're listening.
We're going into the end of the first quarter
of the season, right? Okay, let's touch on it
You played Jordan this last week looking at that
game Jordan should have won Jordan aka the second
highest scoring team in all of GSE so far Jordan
should have won that game. I will say But 90
-10 rule as Jordan says that's what happened
there, but yeah Mean I Mean it's it's too early
to speculate right like hey, well, let's let's
let's go to Let's do this Let's put this into
perspective One of the players that's oh and
three in our league if he would have played his
opponent's week one and week two he'd be To anyone
right I mean the other person that's oh and three
Would be would have gone one in one in week one
and two so Reality Not I think he's got a little
bit more matchup benefits in terms and not necessarily
earned Definitive like wins. I I think he's got
Got some luck there. For sure. Bold statement
coming from eighth place brand. Right now. I'm
honestly. Like like I've said, I'm. We're just
going to keep falling back onto Jordan's crutch
of 9010, right? Like, well, you know. Yeah. Well,
yeah. I mean. my team instead of Okay, let's
let's let's look at this in reality his points
for our 384 .9 that ranks Third fourth fourth
maybe even fifth That's I mean mid -ground Even
I mean you even look at Some of the people that
are Ahead of myself or even Dude I you're two
in one and I've outscored you Yeah, but I'm two
in one I Absolutely, I'm not disagreeing but
I'm just I'm getting to that Which is fine Look,
here's the thing. This is what I'm getting at.
It's like this is the parody, right? You can
look at any of these teams. I think a lot of
us went into this season just Penciling in Ryan
Best team. Yeah, I percent I've got a kind of
gonna win a that's Ryan dropped one last week
Uh, not like most did it again this week. I mean,
right, dude, like if you were looking at our
matchup midday Sunday, it was like 50 50 between
us. And I was like, oh damn, I would, that's
why I was like, I got a chance here. Okay. So,
so then listen to this, right? This last week,
shout out Steven. He was on the podcast last
week. You haven't seen it. Go back, check it
out, be in the link. I want to list off this
team to you and tell me how you think it looks
as far as the league goes. Quarterback, Dak Prescott,
backed up by Omarion Hampton, Trevion Henderson,
Jamar Chase, Lad McConkey, Marvin Harrison, Tyler
Warren at tight end, Cooper Cup in the flex with
the Ravens defense not to mention he's got Brian
Robinson Jalen wattle and Rashad white on the
bench If I told you that team was oh and three
Would you believe that Because here's what happened
last week I feel like there's not enough depth
dog, but listen He played this last I won't I
Want to so bad, but I'm not gonna go in no way
About this game. Oh his opponent his opponent
didn't play a defense and had CD land So not
only double zeros not only you say not play a
defense No, you gave it away, but she had the
Vikings defense on her bench still beat him by
three points fucking ouch dude ouch that in my
mind is unfair that's bullshit bro that awful
I'm sorry Stephen but that is the type of shit
where I'm fucking full rage quit oh dude dude
i was thinking the same thing dude i'm full rage
at that point i'm like you know what i'm good
fuck this i'm done that that is where i hit my
rage quit point i think if that happens to me
that in the chat he says she still has a chance
to win this is prior to the monday night game
she still has a chance to win my team is cheeks
and then dead ass dude he drops Oh God, who did
she have last night? Oh No, no, she had no one.
He had the Ravens defense and they got shit on
Fuck dude Which is crazy that he didn't get and
we have kick return yards added this year and
that's all they got it's wild what I'm saying
is obviously We're just we're through week three.
We're going into week four. Like we still have
time. But when you look at Stephen's team at
oh and three, I'm like, are you serious? How?
Yeah, I said I'm a trade offer for a Marion Hampton.
I'm like, dude, I would like. How is this team?
I'm Marion Hampton, Jamar Chase, Tyler Warren,
who's had a great start. Brave means defense.
Are you kidding me? This team's 0 and 3? That's
fucking impossible in my mind. Yeah. Which honestly,
Brandon leads me to my next question, and I don't
want to spend a ton of time on this, but I am
super curious to hear your thoughts on it. We've
done a lot. We are intentional about keeping
Get Sunday covered main at 10 teams. We don't
want to get any bigger. No. We've had a bunch
of us together for a very long time. We know
each other. We like to keep it competitive by
changing scoring settings and roster settings
and things like that. Switch it up a little bit,
right? Mm -hmm. What are your thoughts on a 10
-team league versus a 12 -team league versus
maybe more than that? Because you and me both
now are involved with some of these guys in the
rest of the Get Sunday covered football club
in the dynasty league, the top league, the. You
know, the best ball, all this stuff. 10 team
versus 12 or more. OK, so. Goodness, put me on
the spot here. OK, so it really is. It's tough.
just because there's a multitude of kind of different
facets here. I personally love our 10 team and
that's staying forever there. I don't care. That
GSC main will always be a 10 team league with
our OGs. However, these other leagues we have
where we have 12 Love them But I just heard I
Think the competition between a 10 team and a
12 team The depth that you get Is so dude if
you have like two players get injured in a 12
team league your seasons fucked You have no depth
And I think that's what my biggest thing with
a 12 team league that makes it difficult Like
unless you get lucky right off the rip in the
draft You don't get anyone that really gets injured
or somehow some way you Get benefits on the waiver
wire Dude it it can get rough in those 12 team
leagues this is the You know not to be devil's
advocate, but this is the the struggle that I
have as the commissioner of this league It's
like I I always wanted to be competitive and
I always want people to have a good time and
and be involved and whatever Is there a way to
compensate for that in a ten team league, right?
So like we added a third wide receiver At one
point we added a second flex Well, you know,
we've changed defensive scoring for this year,
things like that. Does that compare in your mind
to being in a 12 team league? Like, let's say,
hypothetically, we took GSC right now, the way
that it is, and then duplicated it, but made
it 12 teams. Right? Isn't that crazy to think
about? So for example, like we talk about how
Ryan basically smash this draft quote unquote
hypothetically of course because it's fantasy
and nobody knows what the hell's gonna happen
that's a 12 team league things are a lot different
i'll tell you that it's different i'm not saying
that i want to go straight you make right that's
what i'm saying i'm not saying that i want to
go to a 12 team league because I love our family
in GSC. Shout out all of you guys. I'm so happy
that we are still together. It is just interesting
though, when you, when you look at these teams
that are three and O and O and three and the
ones that we think dominated the draft. And then
you look at a 10 team league and it's like, yeah,
it just comes down to fab at that point, you
know, which I guess in theory it comes down to
fab regardless, but. Love ESPN how they give
you power rankings and Going into the year. I
was ranked first in a 12 team league You know
what I am now I'm gonna guess not first. I Dropped
all the way tonight. It's cuz everything's made
up and the points don't matter I'm like, yeah.
Well, hey dude, honestly, if if you're in any
ESPN stuff like Dude, the worse you're ranked,
the better you you chance you have. Like, dude,
the guy from 10th all the way in second right
now, like you might as well just hope you get
ranked at the bottom in that because that's when
when you know you're actually going to be probably
good. Yeah. I think he has to give give those
people that think they did grid hope and then
they just fucking shit and shatter their dreams.
Yeah, like me every fucking year. Every year.
You're going to get there one day. Stephen's
got to go first, but you'll get there one day.
Yeah, Stephen. Stephen Cottenell last week. Yeah,
poor guy. Let's let's be fair. He's got three
L's in a row. Yeah, that's that's a candidate
for the worst bad beat. of the season already
in week three. That was pretty bad, too. Yeah,
that's a dud from CD Lamb and no defense. Ouch.
That's rough. Well, Brandon, let's wrap this
up pretty quick. I want to do a quick check in
on the club. We've talked about it throughout
the episode so far. What are you seeing within
the leagues? I'm pretty sure that we're in most
of the same leagues. But what are you seeing?
We've got the dynasty, the best ball, all of
the other divisions. I'm not sure how nor 'easter
is doing. I would love either. Yeah, come on.
Mark, a .k .a. Jimmy Shamus. You guys shut up,
man. What's going on? What's going on in your
leagues? I want to hear about it. I'll start
off Brandon by saying. Dynasty is lit, dude.
It's super fun. It's super fun. I feel like we
keep talking about it. But guys, seriously, again,
if you're listening, this is so great. I at some
point want to meet all of you, if not just some
of you. It's fun, dude. The chat today, I was
I literally looked at it and I was like, this
has got to be a fucking joke, right? I was like.
You're you guys are fucking with me, right? Like
I are spots when there's 15 people on your fucking
bench. Are we are we being for real? I was like,
this is you guys have to be fucking with me.
Yeah, you you you bit off a lot. Deciding to
be commissioner for the dynasty league, dude.
I was just like, what? GS being a commissioner
of GSE is a task. Commissioner of the dynasty
league, dude. Fuck. But it's great. Honestly,
I love I love you guys. I love you guys. Boys,
dude, I love our dynasty guys. Shout out you
boys. You know who you are. What I like about
it is we have guys in there that neither of us
have ever met, but that have just acted on it
before. And they're active as fuck, man. Every
single day. Like and it's. low -key want to have
some sort of draft party or championship party
for the dynasty league I really do I'd love that
wouldn't that be great dude I might be coming
out to you soon by the way Vegas all you come
to Vegas come say hi come save us I come out
um I'll text you I'm figure out some stuff right
now I'll let you guys know I am actively doing
research on all of the best spots to watch sports
to do sports betting dude just Go to what sort
of thing to do with the strip. Oh, the swim at
the circle. No, no, I will be going to that.
Dude, I mean, this circus will be. But there's
sports book. Do that. Have you been in their
sports book yet? You need to go there because,
dude, it's like a fucking screen that's like
three floors tall. If the MGM has that, too.
I like they all have that. Yeah. Yeah, but that's.
Come to Vegas, I'll show you. Old Vegas, bro.
Fremont. So much better. God, get out of here,
Seamus. You sound like Seamus. OK, shut the fuck
up for one. Seamus actually came out for the
draft party. He's like, I want to go to Fremont.
I'm like, fuck that. Yeah. Just the strip gets
too crazy and it's too hectic. And I like us.
That's why I like Circa is just because it's
a little bit more low key. All right, let's get
out of here Brandon wrap it up with games of
the week. What do you got? Oh Michael Parsons
revenge game about to put that in shit on Jerry
Jones Packers by a million Browns, man. I just
lost the Browns. I don't care Packers by man
How are you gonna beat the the Cowboys if you
lose to the Browns? Okay, let's be real the Cowboys
Look like hot garbage. They just lost CD lamb
Yeah, I'm rolling with the pack go pack go Yeah,
I'm not gonna argue I'll take the pack Okay,
so you fucking try and complain with me and then
you'd follow me right away this fucking guy you
They lost the fucking Browns dude, nobody should
do that no team okay the goddamn brows the Browns
Who's worse the Browns or the Giants Giants by
a million Okay All right, let's be real Cowboys
look decent their first two games then they played
the Bears trash Bears put a wallop on them They
barely escaped the Giants let's be fair I get
it. But I get it. That's the other thing. The
lines. The lines look like the after yesterday.
I was impressed. I was impressed. We thought
the Ravens were going to be a juggernaut. I'm
sorry, but the lions might take the division.
All right. Listen you got what's your game of
the week speaking of the Ravens? Let's go Ravens
chiefs Lamar Derek Henry the whole fucking team
is not happy about what happened last night Please
For the love of the fantasy football God Destroy
them Go Ravens. Give me the Ravens just oh my
god Come out there angry. Come out there like,
dude, I'm talking popping an Alka -Seltzer and
foaming from the mouth. Like, dude, punish them,
dude. Punish them. I love it. Chiefs barely beat
the Giants. I don't know if you watched that
game, but it was disgusting. It was horrible.
Jackson Dart, Kam's Cataboo. They almost came
up on the Chiefs. So give me Lamar and Derek
Henry Shit on them, bro Till Derek Henry fumbles
in the fourth quarter and stop stop it. Don't
manifest that quit it That's what I'm trying
to get away from Go Ravens till King Henry fumbles
in the fourth quarter gives up and the Ravens
get up give up a 15 -point lead You know, you
want a nice little parlay if I can put some money
on Derek Henry He's spat in a thousand right
now Oh, that is funny. Oh, yeah. No, I I honestly
I I don't think Kansas City is good. I know they
look awful. Like I've said from the jump, I don't
think they win the division at all. I think maybe
they're a borderline playoff team. If that I
honestly I think my homes. Looks old bro easy
I'm here for it. I Genuinely do like talk your
shit man, but I'm just like wow that's a hot
take I'm like I've been spinning them all night.
So why not add one more a couple more they're
here No, give me I'm gonna stick with you on
that one. Give me the Ravens Well with Jordan
not here Jordan we miss you come back man. We
need you here to keep we need I need it I need
your hot takes to Jordan because I feel like
this is an episode where Jordan and I would have
just been loving going the fuck off I Feel like
he would have been kind of going with me. Like
oh, yeah, like keep going Yeah homes old shit.
He's dusty I just I think he looks terrible this
year. I do does the whole team looks terrible
dude the the Chiefs just look like Everything's
caught up to him after these couple Super Bowls.
Let's be real. They got shit on in the Super
Bowl and I think that just Fuck their mindset
being exposed that bad and they're just still
on that I'm here for more fuel on that fire.
I really am. But for Jordan, since he is not
here, we went ahead and just tried to guess what
he would pick as the game of the week. We went
with Vikings versus Steelers. Obviously, Jordan
is a Steelers fan. This game is in Dublin. It
is. So wake up the ball starts early on Sunday
folks like early early like Like 6 o 'clock my
time 6 30 a .m. My time. Yeah, that's Pacific
9 across 9 o 'clock Eastern West Coast is weird
It's so weird. I get football at 10 o 'clock
in the morning most days or most Sundays, dude
I would love that kind of fucking nice. It's
kind of nice You know what the other benefit
is all the sports are done for you like by like
9 o 'clock at the absolute latest Not true. Watch
this is hockey Unless it's hockey. That's literally
the only sport that I was gonna say unless it's
hockey But even then you get into prime time
Playoffs everything along those lines super nice.
You're done no later than nine Wrap it up Finish
your nachos Yep, you bedtime is right on point
then you like people on the East Coast who are
up till 12 1 a .m. Every single day for sports
and I'm just like That sucks Yeah Then you have
to be about 5 a .m. 6 a .m. For work. Nope pass.
I'm good pass Repeating this this performance
they had last weekend I'm gonna go with a yes.
I'm gonna stick with Carson Wentz in the vikes
here It has been confirmed. I I checked earlier
Carson Wentz will be starting JJ will be out
once again, so I think after the absolute ass
whooping they just put on the bangles and the
dude Don't know how Jamar cheese didn't just
walk to the locker room and say you know what
fuck this I'm done Because that was terrible
I Didn't even argue watch the game because it
was so bad I Think I put it on for two minutes,
and then I was like yep. I'm good. This is over
Like I think at that point it was like maybe
14 And it was 14 some I think it was 14 0 or
14 3 Yeah, but yeah, I was just like, yep, I'm
good this game's over I Could just tell by the
way Minnesota was playing Say less in my opinion
didn't give me the Vikings They look good Even
we cars and ones dude Yeah I think they might
be better with Carson Wentz. I think they might
have been better with Sam Darnall. Kirk. Kirk
Cousins. Who do the Bengals pick up? Jameis Winston
or Kirk Cousins? Probably Jameis. They don't
want to pick up. I hope they do. They don't want
to pick up, Kirk. Kirk's contract. There's no
way. No one wants to pick that up. Unless they
retain, Atlanta retains 50 % of it, no one's
going to pick it up. And also, I don't know if
it really wants to let him go quite yet after
how they just played last week. Big facts. Hey,
that was horrendous as well. That's what got
me is bounced from the Survivor League. I picked
Atlanta I'm still in my bigger. I'm still in
the big big one that I do every year Pots huge
this year bro hundred forty racks Like six people
I expect the update I'm still in it Did one entry
I've survived the first three weeks Nice whoo
There are only forty four hundred there have
been two thousand people knocked out so far in
this I Was praying somewhat that the Packers
were gonna lose cuz that would have knocked out
like Another thousand people and it would have
been less than half of the pool remaining. Yeah
But yeah, it's all good There were only there
were over 6 ,000 entries last year and only nine
people survived That's a That's rough I Might
honestly stick with just following Tennessee
for a little bit who they play I Might it might
end up turning into either Tennessee or the Giants
Maybe even the Bengals Because yeah, right now
it might. We'll see. I don't know who I'm going
with this week. I'm still making up my mind.
And you know, it may turn into the Cardinals,
too, because I don't think the Cardinals are
good. I still think the Seahawks are going to
win that division. We'll find out on Thursday.
Or at least get an idea. Who do you think's winning
this Eagles -Bucks game? Eagles. No Mike Evans.
No Godwin. Godwin's out for another week. Eagles
are fire. Yeah, Eagles hands down. I would agree
with you. I'm going to agree with you. All right.
That's all I got, Brandon. I'm good. Don't forget
like comment subscribe share you haven't already.
Yeah, seriously give your thoughts guys players
For a different team thoughts on games of the
week. Love to hear it. We're just here talking
shit every week. That's all we do We just go
with a ground and you people get to find out.
That's right You next week till later he's
