Let's get it on. The get Sunday covered podcast
is back. Cody and Jordan are back and the guys
hockey is back as well. Listen, I get it. You're
going to have to bear with us for a little bit.
This is a football podcast, but Hey, we are hockey
fans here, man. Dude. I'm so stoked. Are you,
I imagine Jordan, you probably got the games
on right now, right? Yeah. I mean, like I should
probably think about this. Like This is probably
been my setup for like what since we started
my TVs over here like put it somewhere over here
So it's like it's not as obvious. I'm trying
to sink the game in while we're doing Just be
the I shift every now and then yeah, and it's
I mean just the month of October for sports in
general is I know I said this in the past is
the best month for sports like everything is
going on like everything so I'm excited for hockey,
as always. College hockey, as you guys know,
I'm a Colorado college season ticket holder.
So I actually went to them this past weekend.
They started NHL starting tonight. It's like
college basketball starts, NBA. Like everything's
getting going. But like, yeah, let's go. Like
I love hockey. Like, yeah, I love football, but
I love hockey. Yep, the same here. And just like
since you since you went ahead and plugged it,
the college hockey man. Quick shout out, Noah
Lava, CC alum, man. Got to start tonight with
the Rangers. Let's go, man. I love to see it.
I love to see it. But we're not going to spend
too much time talking about hockey tonight, guys.
We're going to plug it in every now and then
just because we are obsessed with it. Jordan
and I have played hockey together for. Almost
15 years at this point. Maybe a little longer
honestly, but yeah, no Brandon tonight. He is
also a major hockey fan He is actually away with
his actual job that pays him. So don't be mad
at him. He will be back but yeah man we're uh
we're just gonna cover all the week five stuff
we're gonna get into some week five updates talk
about some of the stuff that we're seeing with
our teams um some of the things that we're seeing
in our league some of the crazy stuff that happened
um throughout the nfl this week because i mean
you guys know it's this is our reality show man
there is always something crazy to talk about
there's always some sort of weird storyline we'll
get into that a couple of quick updates hot takes
Picklems of the week and maybe a little special
announcement at the end. I'm not going to give
you too much, but we are going to touch on a
little bit. So make sure you stay tuned for that.
Jordan, as always, I guess I can't say always,
but once again, I do have a quick question for
you to get this episode kicked off. Again, we
just said it. There's a lot of crazy stuff happening
in the NFL right now. Obviously injuries are
decimating not only our fantasy teams, but you're
seeing it. you know, for a lot of these teams
that you thought might be some powerhouses, that's
not turning out to be the case. I want to know,
give me your opinion on which division in the
NFL right now has the biggest surprise in your
eyes. Man, what a great question to start this
week off. That's so tough because it's like you
look at every division this year and it's like
Which one truly is the biggest like I don't know
like let's start with my team like the Steelers
Who like that division man, like if you're a
Steelers, how do you lose it Ravens aren't doing
good you got a crisis and the Browns the Bengals
like Aaron Rodgers like this veteran, like maybe,
yeah, maybe he doesn't eat avocado ice cream.
He does Hiawusa or however you pronounce it.
Hiawaska? Hiawaska. Maybe he doesn't. Hiawusa?
Like a motorcycle. So it's like, so, but maybe
like that division's crazy. I think about all
these divisions, dude, just in the AFC, like
the AFC South, like the Indianapolis Colts, like,
what? Daniel Jones, I joked with my former, you
know, I was like, you know, who should have been
taken first overall was Jonathan Taylor. Like
he was just going to have some sort of breakout
come back here and he's done nothing but great
for them. Shout out to the cold. Shout out to
Daniel Jones, Michael Pittman has already been
done better than Travis Kelsey. I feel like that
was a question earlier in the season. That division
is crazy. Houston was supposed to be the favorite
Jacksonville still foreign one in there like
What? Like, what are we doing? The Titans? Yeah,
we didn't think much. I mean, the Broncos. Like,
AFC West is what? Who wins that? Chargers can't
help. Broncos are coming back. Chiefs? You never
know. Char - or the Raiders? It's the Raiders.
Like, I didn't care. I told you guys. Pete Carroll
was coming there. Geno Smith was coming there.
Like, so what? They're still bad. It's the Chargers,
Broncos, or Chargers. One in that division. Who
wins it? I don't know. That's just the AFC, dude.
Like... I don't know. To me, that's just the
AFC. Like, I feel like every division in the
AFC is like... It's wild. Like, I don't know.
Like, I don't know. Obviously, there were favorites.
There were, if you were putting money on some
of these divisions, there were teams. That were
supposed to be favorites, um, even the NFC dude
The NFC North like it we're we talked about before
the show. You said you got Detroit one in that
division Why can't I go? Why can't Chicago? Why
not Green Bay? Why not, Minnesota? You you know
what I'm saying like it's a good division like
Chicago is better. I don't think they're going
to win it. Can they win it? Absolutely. They
come out and Caleb Williams and Roma do and say,
DJ Moore hasn't even got going for that team
yet. And it's like, I don't know, that division
is wild to me. Okay, let's let's stick with that
one real fast. Then let's go. Let's go and see
North and I will give you my opinion on that.
Here's why the Bears can't win it. In my opinion,
I agree with you. It's it's very deep and it's
very competitive in that division. I do think
Caleb Williams has the talent and obviously Ben
Johnson is a genius. Those things have already
been established. However, as the first year
together, I don't see a scenario where we don't
see some of these first year problems continuing
to happen throughout the season. Right. So I
think him, you know, everybody talks about it.
You come into the league, you, you learn your
first system. Obviously he, he like made the
comments about like nobody showing him how to
watch tape or like what he should be looking
for. And he was like, wasn't getting the support
from his coaching staff. Let's say in a perfect
world, hypothetically speaking, he is getting
all of that stuff right now. That is a lot to
retain. Yeah in hopes for having a perfect scenario
for that I would just assume that There's probably
going to be a couple more games that the Bears
should win and Could win but they probably won't
because they're gonna be having some of those
struggles now that being said The Vikings Packers
sure I think the Vikings need to figure out the
quarterback situation. A little concerning to
me that Carson Wentz maybe showed his age a little
bit with his shoulder last week. I don't know
if you saw that, but you know, got hurt, came
back in, didn't look awful. They won the game,
looked fine, but there's no solidarity there
in the quarterback room, right? How many times
are they going to squeak out a win like that
with Carson Wentz when JJ McCarthy is ready to
go and they don't just stick JJ right back in
there. You know what I'm saying? So then I see
that same type of scenario with Minnesota, which
don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against
Minnesota, but are they winning the vision? Not
my opinion. No. Do they make the playoffs? I
could see it. Sure. Early exit. Green Bay and
Detroit is the toss up for me. But the way that
Detroit has been playing, not just on the offensive
side of the ball, because I mentioned this on
one of our first episodes of this season, that
I was concerned that Ben Johnson was leaving
and I thought the offense was going to take a
serious step back. They have taken a step back,
but they're still putting up points, right? I
am really impressed with the defense. Their defense
is, I mean, so are the Packers, but their defense,
man, I rostered them up in a lot of my fantasy
leagues because they're crushing people. That's
why I've got Detroit in that division. But I
think you bring up a really good point with that
division in particular. I look at that same type
of parody when it comes to like the AFC West.
Let's talk Broncos Chargers Chiefs. Obviously,
you mentioned it. Raiders are the Raiders. Sorry,
Vegas. I love you. I love it here. Let me just
quick side street. I will tell you real fast.
Vegas, my friend. This is a hockey town. The
Raiders are the Raiders, man. It is what it is.
There's a ton of Raiders fans here. This is another
one of those big hub cities where like you've
got people from everywhere. You walk down the
street, you go to the casinos, you go to the
games, you've got jerseys. I don't care who's
in town. There's somebody here that loves that
team. The Knights want to stand the cup. The
Knights want to stand the cup. Oh, that's going
to carry that cup. People here love. The Golden
Knights. This is a hockey town. So let's go ahead
and take the Raiders out of that mix up for me
Broncos this week taking down the defending champs
look great chiefs Find a way to beat themselves
in my opinion like I don't know The Chargers
getting screwed up with injuries their their
running back room is trash now for at least the
next month. Justin Herbert can spread the ball
around. He's great, but at this point, man, Broncos
are looking nice. Chiefs might end up third in
this division. In my opinion, that's surprising
to me. I mean, I, I can see any, any one of those
three teams wanted it. I hope it's the Broncos.
I like your points. Um, Herbert's good, man.
He's just he's never gotten over that hump like
this is next second year Something about my homes
like he's just gonna He worked magic last night.
This is Tuesday. He worked magic last night Monday
night against Jacksonville ad I don't remember
what he finished like 320 yards like a bunch
of Russian yards had a Russian TV passing TV
He looked good like He was leading I'm pretty
sure he loved the team in rushing last night
like I don't don't hold me official on that But
I know at one point he was him and Herbert were
both lead their teams respectively Yeah, that's
that's a lot of division that's why I'm saying
I see that's why I brought up all these divisions
because I just feel like it's just like Yeah,
the beginning of the season. There's all these
favorites this that's just the AFC like NFC like
like rapid fire real quick like Like who you
taking NFC East? Eagles, commanders, Cowboys,
Giants. Eagles. I want to say Cowboys because
they're just putting up points like it's no one.
It's crazy. Shout out Jomonte Williams. Shout
out Dak Prescott. This is all without CD lamb
like George Pickens, Jake Ferguson. Yeah, I love
it, dude. I just love it. NFC North, we already
went over that. Cody thinks Lyon, Packers, probably
Lyons. But I feel like that division's crazy.
Especially when they play each other, it's just
bad things happen. Teams are going to lose, you
don't expect. NFC South, Buccaneers. That one's
the easiest one. That's the easiest division
here. Come on. It's the Panthers, right? I forgot.
It's hockey season now. You forgot what football
was like. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I thought we were
talking about the Florida Panthers. Yeah. Tampa
Bay Buccaneers, Baker Mayfield. Let's go. I agree
with Cody. Buccaneers take the NFC South. That's
the easiest division here. Another, I feel like
another, this is like AFC West to me. NFC West.
49ers, Seahawks, Rams, Cardinals. I feel like
the Cardinals are kind of like the Raiders. The
Rams are kind of like the Broncos like they're
gonna be there. They're gonna win the Super Bowl
won every 10 years But they're just kind of scrappy
the Seahawks. I don't know or kind of like the
Chargers like They've been there before maybe
that's more like the Broncos But like I feel
like the 49ers are the chiefs of that division.
They've ruled it. They've won it the past eight
nine years. Yeah So I real quick before we move
on from that. I want to give a Huge shout out
to our boy Brandon can't wait to have you back
next week, dude But he called at least to this
point. I mean, obviously we're in a week six,
right? So we'll see what happens But so far he's
looking pretty nice because he called Pittsburgh
in their division. He also called the Niners
in their division and fantasy football today
on CBS actually made a really good point like
if the season were to finish today coach of the
year Kyle Shanahan, dude, because look at all
of the shit that he has had to deal with. Kittles
down. You never even started. Pearsall got hurt.
Jennings got hurt. Now he's dealing with backup
quarterbacks like, dude, and they're still four
and one top of their division. Let's go, man.
CMC has been a rock for them. Always until he
gets hurt. I don't know. Dude, just scares me.
I want to see him win a ring so bad. I just don't
think it's going to happen. Neither, but. He's
going for fantasy was AFC East Bill's just dropped
one to the Patriots didn't see that coming Patriots
look nice, man. I mean, I'm pretty sure if anyone
listen last week I Gave I gave my win for the
Patriots going in to Buffalo Drake may coming
out with a W there I don't mean you're running
both like yeah good good for the Patriots I just
the way Buffalo looked against the Saints last
week and I feel like No disrespect to the Saints,
but I feel like New England's a better team Drake
may man. He just looks like JJ McCarthy go watch
Drake may like That's who you want to be like
They're both drafted same year it's like What's
the big difference? Like Drake may just looks
way more comfortable. He throws that ball around.
He's got her. He's got an arm on him, and I like
him for the future of the Patriots. Maybe the
future is this year. Shout out to Brandon. He
was running his mouth. I don't know if he had
been drinking before he we were talking before,
but he talked about the Patriots ram one about
six off after they won this Sunday night game.
Maybe it is. Did you beat you going to Buffalo?
You beat an undefeated Bills team. You beat the
reigning MVP. I'm Drake May. Like, I'm here.
Go out and win that division. Like, make a statement.
I'm pretty sure Brandon doesn't drink anymore,
man. And honestly, the way his picks have been
going, I might buy into it. So give me like,
if you had to pick one, what's the biggest surprise
to you right now? It's honestly, it probably
is, uh, I'm going to do a combination here. I'm
going to do like shout out to both teams. I want
to do the AOC South and we'll do the Indianapolis
Colts and Jacksonville Jaguars. Like both those
teams. Hey, we didn't talk about that. Yeah,
that's crazy. I didn't even think they, everyone
was picking Houston. they were one in that division
they were the favorites yeah so it's houston
and jacksonville i'm not gonna pick one i'm gonna
say that division and those two teams in that
division and maybe houston for being a letdown
in that division shout out tennessee you're still
in that division i'm not talking about you that's
like that's a great point man indiana jones also
one of the coldest nicknames i've ever heard
like yeah that's sick uh Dude, we should have
touched on that one more because that's a great
pick. I am actually going to go to the AFC North,
the Ravens, dude. Wow. Yeah. Wow. I didn't see
that coming. Uh, not only did I not see them
coming one and four to start the season, but
also I didn't have the faith in Rogers in Pittsburgh,
man. So that, that division for me, I that's
on its head. In my opinion, and that's a perfect
segue for me to move into our week five updates.
I'll start this one off with. Have your Super
Bowl picks changed? I'm going to have to say,
oh yeah, they have because I did pick the Ravens.
I just don't know man like. They keep up on this
base. They might not even make the playoffs.
I'm pretty sure. If I remember, I did Chiefs
in Detroit is what I did. If I can remember,
maybe it's way off. I probably did Houston in
like Tampa Bay or something. It was something
in Tampa Bay. I think it's what it was. I can't
remember. We'll have to go back and look on that.
Like, I don't want to be wrong, but I feel like,
I don't know, man, there's, yeah, I probably
am wrong because they probably have changed.
And people say the NFL has no parody. It's not
the NHL, but yeah, I don't know, man. It's like
Detroit, right? How does Philadelphia beat Detroit?
They don't like they're going to run Jalen hurts
over on the sideline too. Like they were doing
about they went into Baltimore that broke Baltimore.
They're going to they're going to go like three
and 14. this year dude they just no they broke
their hearts they went in there and shattered
souls david montgomery and jamir gibbs just pulled
the alabama hot pocket like they they they went
into baltimore and did you question your life
decisions yeah they just they ran all over them
um Yeah, I don't I don't know. I don't I guess
my picks have changed because I don't know Let
me let me rephrase the question that who are
your picks right now Detroit and who? Sure, man
How they FC man, it's wild like I'd love to see
a team like Jacksonville like I'm gonna go wild
here. I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with the Indiana
Jones Indianapolis Colts like That defense right
now, I think is so I think that defense is so
fired up from Daniel Jones in the offense like
yeah Look, I mentioned Jonathan Taylor earlier
like shout out to is I think Stefan has him in
our league Like I joked about drafting that dude
With my first round pick and I I wish I did Mike.
I had a feeling I didn't think they're gonna
be this good But yeah, I'm gonna go Detroit versus
Indianapolis Super Bowl That that honestly like
I would tune into that like. I mean, I'm going
to tune into it either way, but like it'd be
great, wouldn't it? Like it's like they won one
with Peyton, but it's like. Since Peyton, it's
been like Andrew Luck was good, never got us
there, retired earlier. We've gone through like
25 quarterbacks since then, like Daniel Jones
is here, our savior, a one man, one man. Our
hero, yeah. What about you? Man, I still like
the pack. AFC has really kind of fucked me up,
though, honestly. I would love to be a homer
and say that I think Denver could do it. Well,
I do think they will make a run. I don't know,
man. It's just there. It's so tough. bills are
always going to be there like we should have
beaten Buffalo last year in the playoffs and
we got our asses handed to us you know so I don't
know man how do you how do you even pick honestly
like oh like I could honestly see I think I picked
the Broncos and Bucks looking back on that sort
of season I could see that Yeah, man, like I
look at the AFC right now If the Bengals don't
get excuse me the Bengals the Ravens don't get
their shit together soon They're off my board
completely for it Like he you can't in in this
league man You can't come in third in your division
and then just hope to surprise a lot of people
in the last Four or five games of the season
I think there are three teams in the AFC West
that realistically could go. I think there are.
I'll be generous and say two in the AFC East.
Fuck it man, let's go. Broncos Packers. 97 rematch,
let's go. That'd be a great game like shit. Can
you imagine the hype behind that? Let's do it.
Yeah, give me the Broncos, man. Keep going. Keep
learning. Like, everybody stay healthy. Yeah.
You know, I think, you know, everybody's calling
it the signature win for the Broncos this weekend
against Philly. I think that's great. They have
a pretty scrumptious schedule coming up. They
could rattle off. You know, Brandon talked about
New England going on a run. Broncos could do
the same. But what the fuck do we know? That's
why we're sitting here. Yeah, exactly. Recording
from our homes. Bi -weeks are in effect, however.
So we're not going to see, over the next couple
of weeks, we're going to start seeing teams that
aren't going to be playing. Is that affecting
your fantasy teams yet? Are you seeing anybody
getting screwed up by these bye weeks? I haven't
seen anything personally. As you know, I feel
like my team's just been putting up points this
year, man, especially in GSC main. Shout out,
me and Ryan are just separating. Like everyone
everyone was worried about Ryan's draft picks
this and that blah blah blah I'm scared Ryan's
winning the league motherfucker how many points
does Ryan have how many points so I have yeah
like five more draft picks than me shout out
Ryan I love it let's go let's meet in the finals
let me win let's both enjoy it together like
um you guys are a solid 200 plus points I have
everyone else more scored than anybody else.
Yeah, that's like Like sorry Brandon, I wish
you were on here tonight maybe that's why he
didn't actually join this cuz I played Brandon
this week and batting over the kitchen table
and Yeah, I gave it to him showed him the 50
states maybe I like it wrong um so yeah, so For
me, it hasn't been too bad. Um, I haven't, like
I said, I haven't seen anyone personally that
was like infected too crazy. I think I saw most
I saw was a person with three or four guys. Um,
but they're, I've noticed a couple of leagues
where like, it's kind of like a trend for like
people that drafted similarly, like when bi -weeks
hit you're down all of your fucking like heavy
hitters and you just, you just got to roll with
it. Cause just that one week. Yep. Stephen even,
you know, made a thing. I texted him on Sunday
morning and said, Hey, by the way, man, like
you didn't plug somebody into your roster. And
he's like, Oh, I know. He's like, I'm not dropping
anybody onto the waiver wire. He's like, I'll
take the L this week. I'm not dropping anybody.
You know, it's like, all right. And then he did.
But I do want to touch a little bit on what you
were talking about with you and Ryan, just throwing
out there, man, because I got my ass bent over
the kitchen table. this weekend by 7's team.
He's looking sneaky good in my opinion and mind
you he has already beat Ryan. That's Ryan's only
loss of the season. His team looks good in my
opinion. He's got a nice little schedule coming
up as well so don't get too cocky Jordan. I'm
just saying I think it's 7's time to shine. He's
spent a lot of time at the bottom. He is a reaper
once again this year. I don't think that's going
to happen this year, man. I think he's going
to give you guys a run for your money. I mean,
I hope he does. It'd be nice to see some fresh
blood in the playoffs to be not the same people
on my way to the championship every year. Um,
I hope you're there seven hours. Me and seven
were actually texting. They were talking about
a trade maybe early on in the season. and how
I, how technically Ryan should have been 0 -2
or 1 -3 or whatever. I should have beat him week
one. Like, I put up a good or was it week two?
Whatever week it was, one or two, I put up a
good number of points. But yeah, it's, I don't
know, like, yeah, I always root for seven. I
like seven. He's helped me out in the past in
this league and he's always been a nice guy.
So it's just like... I'm always rooting for people
that are... I just want to... I want everyone
to be... I just want everyone to be competitive
and, I don't know, just have close games and
make it fun. Like, yeah, do I like a blowout?
I'm not having to stress about a game, of course.
Like, if that's how I win for 17 weeks straight,
maybe, like, it just makes it easier. You never
have to worry about anything. But it's like the
fun part is sweating it out a little bit on a
Monday night game. You know, you're playing against
someone that you need. to score less than 15.
I only needed like 50 points from my homes on
Monday night, man. That's all I needed. You put
up like 30. He had a great night. That's not
enough. You know what the sad thing is? Is if
you had two guys on that team, there wasn't another
guy in Kansas City that would have put up 20
to win for you. Kelsey had like 18, Taequann
Thornton 12, Cream Hunt like 17, 18. There's
no big other player. There's no Tyree kill. Yeah,
do you think Tyree kill plays again? 100 % I
think he does. He's got too much child support
to pay, but. But not wrong. No, I think absolutely
he plays again. Yeah, shout out Tyree kill like
get healthy like everyone loves to see you on
the field. I think he comes back for sure. Maybe
he's a little bit older. He thinks about it,
but I think he still has another three, four
years. He's going to pump out of him and play
good. Whether he signs in Miami, I don't know.
I think the big shock is Patrick Mahomes is going
to give him a call and say, come back, son. He
goes back to Kansas City. Let's win another Super
Bowl. He goes back there. They won a Super Bowl.
He retires with Kansas City. I think would be
a fitting end for Tyreek. Um, but yeah, I think
Tyree comes back for sure. All right. Well, talking
about going to the glory land, a lot of people
at this point starting to own five. We were hoping
to have him on the episode tonight. He couldn't
make it. It was a little bit too late, but I'm
just going to throw it out there, man. Steven.
We're going to put you on blast, dude. I wish
you were here to give us some insight on this,
because I will tell you, there are a couple of
leagues that I am one in four, none that I am
oh and five, but like rough starts, man. We've
talked about it in the past. That is real, real
tough at this point to come back from. Do you
have any thoughts on that? Anybody in your league
starting oh and five? No, dude. I'm in three.
I'm in four leagues with you I think everyone
else that I've seen this one and four Steven
shout out. You're the only oh and five player
It's tough dude the one year When was that this
was four years ago at this point me and Steven
started out like both started oh and four Yeah,
oh and four one and four two and five terrible
stuff We were out of rough some wins me and Steven
actually met in the finals Yeah. I remember that.
It was pretty incredible to go on a run like
that. So yeah, technically it's not over. But
if you don't win next week, Steven, it is over.
It might be. It might be. I try to make a trade
with Steven Happen. Just didn't work out for
either of us. I wish it did. But yeah, I mean,
that's tough. And I think he has the most points
scored against him in our league. Um, I put up
a song, Ryan put up a song number on them. So
it's just, it's one of those things where 90
% luck to 10 % scale, dude, the luck ain't on
your side. You're just getting the numbers put
up against you every week. Well, I talked to
him about that too. And it's like, you know,
he even said it today. I was talking to him and
he said, dude, it's not like I'm not trying,
but he's like, what, what do you want me to do?
He's like, there there's nothing to pick up on
the waiver wire. It's like, I could trade anything,
but if I trade, it means I have to give up my
best asset. And I don't know, dude. And again,
guys, we've talked about this on some of our
other episodes, but like, how do you quantify
that type of trade to say, like, okay, I'm going
to get rid of Jamar Chase and get, you know,
two or three and return or whatever it is. Like,
how do you even know if that's worth it? And
that's like, I feel like I feel for the game.
I really do, man, because that's brutal. Like,
oh, and five start. God I'd be I would be full
on panic mode right now. So good for him for
keeping a level head, but like good Lord Lost
a Maureen Hampton this week. I know I lost to
Hampton in I Think three leagues and running
back is thin this year, dude. It's like Even
people that do you want to make a trade? They're
not trying to give up any of their running backs
because there ain't shit else out there Yeah,
you're picking anyone up I Mean like who would
you Like poor guy like Jamar chase finally had
a week for him this week But is his running backs
Amari and Hampton who? Thankfully gave him a
decent double -digit performance, but woody marks.
That's the number two on the bench She's got
Trevion Henderson who hasn't been anything Brian
Robinson who? Loki maybe should be rostered at
this point like Yeah. And I feel that in a lot
of my leagues too, because, and that is my biggest
struggle in all of my leagues is where do you
get a good running back? And it sucks because
I feel like the pool of wide receivers that you
can get, they're all very similar in the point
production that you're going to have. Whereas
the teams that are winning. Have the elite running
back. So if you don't at least have one Kind
of fucked I Don't know dude, it sucks like I
don't envy it I don't envy it I Want to talk
about Jordan did you watch the Sunday night football
game? I did Bills got dropped by the Patriots.
Yeah, have you ever been to a college football
game? A college football game I. I never have.
I I should just cause. It looks more intense
than the NFL game. It's just yeah, I mean. College
is going to be here. Is a little bit different
than the NHL one. Right? Well that was going
to be my question here is like I've been to a
couple college football games but not for like
any of the big schools and I watch all these
hype videos they just get my blood boiling and
then tingling and like super hype for sports
and stuff like that because it's insane but I
watched that Sunday night game and the Bill Stadium
was rocking dude for a kickoff like doubt that
love that I look at the Chiefs when they when
they kick off the tomahawk chop dude insane I
love that. I'm just curious, like, what do you
think is better, man? Like, you and I have been
to a ton of college hockey games together. We've
also been to some NHL games. I don't know, dude.
Like, what's better? Right. I mean, you give
me a choice. Like, here's what I'm going to throw
it out to you like. I don't have to be a fan
of any of these teams but like we're going like
a saturday night matinee or like feature game
like this is better than any nfl stadium has
to be i'm taking like michigan 110 000 people
penn state like 110 000 people ohio state what
like 80 000 people we're going to baton rouge
louisiana for lsu a night game there. Alabama,
Georgia, like one of these SCC schools at night.
Like, I feel like that has to be better. The
parties afterwards are going to be insane on
campus. They're like some crazy stuff happening.
But I just feel like with all that, man, I don't
want any part of that anymore. I feel like the
college games probably would just have like storm
in the field and just going crazy. I wouldn't.
I don't need to do that. I'd still be sitting
in my seat enjoying the view. I'm not trying
to run and hurt myself or hurt anyone else. But
yeah, I think that'd be cool to see. I think
the college atmosphere, just it's not about the
money how it used to be. It is about the money,
obviously. But it's still just that college,
like all those other kids in the stands aren't
NLAL athletes. They're paying to go to school
there and having a great time. Right. I'll take
that. Fair enough. Yeah. Maybe we should get
a nice little GSC thing set up where we all get
some tickets to one of those marquee college
games. Big game? Yeah. I think that would be
sick. Client care game? That would be. Yeah.
We'll move it along a little bit here. Might
be a shorter episode today, man. I'm looking
at our doc and we're speeding through a lot of
this stuff. We need Brandon here, man. He gives
us a little bit of extra bullshit to talk about,
but I want to talk about some of the stuff that
happened in the NFL this weekend, aka specifically
today. Flacco's heading to the Bengals, man.
If you're a Jamar Chase, T Higgins, Chase Brown
owner, are you excited about this or how are
you feeling? I've looked at it both ways and
I'm like, does he help the Bengals? Like maybe
his experience does, but I'm like, the offensive
line is still not great, right? Their defense
still isn't great. Right. I don't know, Jamar
Chase had a good week this past week. Chase Brown,
holy... my... Like, I'm sorry, Steven, like,
talking about keeping Chase Brown or Jaden Daniels,
like, even Jaden Daniels, like, been hurt and
hasn't been... it hasn't been worth it either,
but Chase Brown hasn't been worth it. I think
down the long run, I think Flack was going to
come in and help him. That's why I really wish
I had Jamar Chase sitting on my bench right now
instead of A .J. Brown. I'd be in a lot, be a
lot happier. But does it, do I think they make
the playoffs? I don't think so, dude. I don't
think the Bengals are going to come out and they're
going to have to score 35 points every game to
win. Yeah, which you mentioned it with that O
-line, probably not going to happen. But if we're
talking about it being beneficial fantasy wise,
are you? trying to trade for any of these, you
know, high draft pick names, the three that we
mentioned, Chase, Higgins, Brown? I don't think
so. I think any of these owners that have any
of those three players are probably going to
try to sell high now, saying, well, Flacco is
the quarterback now, Jake Browning, this and
that. I don't think it's worth it. I think if
you got... I don't know why you would have been
trading for Chase Brown. Pretty sure you had
T. Higgins. I was thinking about trading for
him just in case a scenario like this did happen
that I didn't think Joe Flack, I thought it was
going to be Jameis Winston or Russell Wilson
would have been going there. I wish it was Jameis
Winston. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. To me, he's like
a he's like Carson Wentz, dude. You know, you
might get a turnover or two. but, you know, he's
going to throw for 300 yards and probably at
least two touchdowns every game, I think. No,
I don't, I think at this point now, you're not,
I think to get any, to get Higgins or Chase,
you're, you're giving up too much to get either
one of them. So. Yeah, that's where I'm at is
like, I feel like the window to trade low on
any of those guys. is probably passed just because
that you do have those people that are banking
on that being an upgrade for them at quarterback.
I am a Higgins owner. I am a Chase owner in different
leagues, obviously, but I don't know, dude. I'd
be willing to trade Higgins. What can I say?
Let's let's talk about this and that like what
kind of trades are you making right now? Because
we're in the port of the season right now where
by weeks are hitting people are panicking people
are you know, like I need a week I need a win
this week, but These by weeks are gonna help
me with that. Like what kind of trades are you
putting up? What what some offers you've made?
I better I've made a Couple different offers
I don't know gotten good feedback. People kind
of willing to talk and do some stuff. I I tried
to get actually try to get Jamar Chase from Steven.
I I at one point I had six different offers up
to Steven for a player with a draft pick player
with draft pick with fab two players. I thought
more than fair offers actually made a trade.
I Kelsey and Shakir for A .J. Brown, it was another
receiver where it's just like, man, his socks
high. And it's like the Eagles have had six offensive
coordinators in six years. They won the Super
Bowl last year. He leaves. This isn't the first
time this has happened to the Eagles. Like, let's
give them five or six weeks. So for me, like,
I think I was just at a point where it's just
like, I even my bench was doing good that I felt
whoever I played from my bench, into my starting
lineup where I wasn't going to get hurt if I
traded for someone that I could sit on my bench
for a couple of weeks until I'm going to take
a chance on AJ Brown and Hope. I might play him
Thursday night and he goes off for 30 points
against the Giants at the divisional game. I
don't know if that's going to happen, but I'm
always about trades. I'm always about fair trades
and mixing teams up. I have Josh Allen in my
main league. I put him up for a trade discussion.
I've actually had a couple people hit me up on
that on him asking what I've wanted and they
made offers. I'm really open to anything. It's
not that I don't want Josh Allen on my team.
I look at my team and it's like, man, can I help
in another position and stream a quarterback
to week to week thing or? get a back, you know,
a second tier quarterback with another player
for Josh Allen. I'm always open for trades. I'm
always down for mixing it up. I feel like every
time I've mixed my team up or made trades, it's
done good for me. I feel like it's always come
out in a positive. I'm not saying that everyone
that's traded with me has had a negative effect
on the other side because I know that's how it
hasn't been. I feel like if you're making a trade,
obviously, yeah. Look for it to help you. It
doesn't mean it's going to help you right then
and there. You might be in a situation where
you can bench a guy for a week or two and see
if it helps you later on, where you have guys
that are doing good outperforming what they were
drafted to keep those guys rolling and have someone
sit on your bench to sell someone you drafted
late that are doing good. Like Jovante Williams,
I'm sure I could have traded him five times already,
but. I don't know. It's just, look at trades,
man. They're fun. I think it just, it's way better
than waivers. Like you're just mixing your team
up so much. It's like, obviously don't, don't
do stuff to screw you. Don't get screwed, screwed
out of a trade. Don't let anyone take advantage
of your peer pressure, you or anything like that.
Like if you don't like a trade, just like I said,
yeah, it's fine to reject it, but have a conversation.
Like talk with someone like, you know, like,
yeah, I really do like this guy. Like, How can
we make this work? Like, what do you want? You
know, what are you looking for recurring? Which
I feel like, for the most part, and the two main
leagues I'm in, like, that's how everyone is.
Like, a trade offer's made. Like, people are
willing to communicate. It doesn't mean it always
is going to work out or go in your favor or go
how you want. But, you know me, dude, I've always
made trades. I have always been open to trades.
Absolutely. Yeah, I uh, I mean just a couple
of weeks ago. I traded a Marion Hampton for Quentin
Johnston straight up and It's looking like I
lost that one at this point. I felt really good
about it to start and now I'm like, well Wish
I had Quentin Johnston on my team Yeah, which
it's injuries obviously but right Yeah All right
your trade though. Yeah i mean it got me a couple
of wins out of it so i'm fine with that but speaking
of if anybody wants genti man it's got i love
ash to genti go bsc my league in my i got it
yeah in our league oh yeah you have him in gsc
man i'm gonna conjure up a trade here real fast
sir I think you might need a tight end. We could
maybe do something. I don't need a tight end.
I got Kittle coming back and I got Mark Andrews
there. I'm fine. I'll take a solid four points
from Mark Andrews every week. Why not? Maybe
next week he'll drop 20. Mark Andrews might quickly
turn into one of those players that I'm like,
never again, dude. Like, I just can't, like.
With the Ravens right now, if Lamar misses next
week, you ain't starting him. No. No, good lord
no Doing tell people about your will trade with
like you mentioned your trade. Who'd you pick
up for a tight end to start this week? So yeah,
so I Make the trade Saturday morning trades 24
-hour process review goes through Sunday morning
So I end up losing my tie down Travis Kelsey
and Shakir Which I kind of want to lose two guys
because I had to pick up a quarterback I ended
up having a guy out so I was able to pick up
a quarterback because Kayla Williams was on a
buy. So I had an open slot after training these
two guys. I'm looking at tight ends. I really
wanted to pick up Tongus earlier in the week
for San Francisco, but I didn't have an open
slot so I didn't do it at the time. Anyways,
I picked up Darren Waller Sunday morning, plugged
and played him, got me 19 points. Dude didn't
even have a catch in the second half. Dumbest
shit I've ever heard. I love it. Darren Waller,
like I just don't know how he how he wasn't I
don't feel he's picked up in any league I play
in except for GSC main where I picked him up
and Tyree kills gonna be out. It's him and waddle
like look what they did. It was him and waddle
that caught everything that game Yeah, and you
know what's gonna happen is everybody's gonna
go out and they're gonna pick up Darren Waller
this week and Then he's gonna have two catches
for 17 yards That's why I'm playing Dallas Goddard
against the New York Giants because I have him
also. Is he going to play Goddard over AJ Brown?
AJ Brown going to ride your bench again this
week? I might have to ride him one more week.
I'll ride him until he puts up a 20 point game,
but I really want to play him because I feel
like a 20 point game is coming out from AJ Brown.
Yeah, don't be don't ever be afraid about taking.
taking a chance or feeling your gut that you
pick up someone on waivers that like, man, this
guy might just have a big week because there's
an injury or someone's out or something and it's
happened before. Like there's plenty of guys
that week to week that are on waivers that aren't
picked up or they are picked up and someone sashes
them on the bench and he drops a 20 point game,
you know? Yeah, absolutely. That's a great. Transition
for me here because I'm gonna hit you with something
that's not on our dock right here I'm talking
about trades in fantasy football. I'm talking
about how shallow the running back pool is right
now The fantasy footballers brought up something
That I think some of us have probably been thinking
about to some extent What if Alvin Kamara gets
trade a Where does he go B Is that somebody that
you're interested in? Because right now, he was
out snapped this last weekend. He's not doing
anything. Interested in Alvin Kamara at all.
Because I went through every league of mine this
week, saw who owned Alvin Kamara, and I'm like,
do I do it? Same age as Christian McCaffrey.
So I didn't hear about this. I do like this a
lot. I do and be, I do have Alvin Camara in our
main league, which makes me excited. See the
team that should trade for him right now and
give up. I don't care if they give up both running
backs right now is the Kansas city chiefs. Wow.
Give up. I don't even know who that third string
was. That was shard Smith. Let that kid stay.
Let him play with Alvin Camara. I. I don't know
I because I felt like yeah, I right look you
give me New England Yeah, I I would take that
to get yeah, but Come on send we're module. Yeah,
Orleans. Keep trade on that tray beyond Yeah,
be the heavier back and I would compare. Yeah,
dude, like come here gets the ball like 15 20
times a game with the team, like receiving rushing.
So let's say you're betting on that scenario
happening. Are you trading in fantasy for Alvin
Kamara? Because I didn't really even think about
this either, but I was listening to their podcast
today and I was like, shit, like if he's getting
out snapped, like that might be right. Like he's
nearing the end of his career and he wants to
go somewhere to to win and go out, you know,
at least with a shot because the Saints don't
fucking have one. You want to trade me all in
Camaro? I mean, I wouldn't trade anyone, but
yeah, where does he go? The Chargers right now?
No. Chargers trade a running back and a pick,
like one of their younger guys. I don't know,
dude. I'm just thinking of scenarios, like where
could he go that's going to help Arizona? Arizona,
maybe, but he's not going to go to Arizona, the
garbage can of that division. Yeah, I wouldn't.
Houston? Houston, maybe. Woody Marks came out
and had a great game, and they barely used him
last game. You know, I'm just thinking of teams
where he could go. I don't even know, man. That's
why I'm like, if I'm the chief, it's like, Graeme
Hunt is fat and old, dude. He touched us. Me,
I could have scored both those, put me in the
game. But when you try to make that tackle in
99 yard interception, like the Pillsbury Doughboy
diving and rolling around, like that was an embarrassing
tackle. Like Isaiah Pacheco, man, yeah, he runs
with the heart of, I don't like, I don't want
to say anything bad. He just runs with a lot
of heart. He was Cam Scattaboo before Cam Scattaboo
was a thing. And like 60 pounds less than him.
Yeah. But it's just like. I don't know, I just
because I felt I thought I thought last year
I was like man, the Kansas City Chiefs to trade
for Bajon Robinson and give him the ball 25 times
a game with Patrick Holmes. With any read. Atlanta
on it uses Bajon Robinson, but. I don't know.
That's why we're sitting here. We're talking
about it and speculating. I'm not a GM. We're
not coaches. I'm not in anyone's front office.
I like to dream and make stuff up, but I don't
know, dude. It got my attention because I'm like,
let's, that's all, that's all this is, right?
It's all a gamble. Like let's say this does happen,
dude. If I, if I could somehow pull off getting
out of Khmer in a couple of my leagues and then
that does play out. I look like a goddamn genius.
or the fantasy footballers too yeah well i have
him i did not know he was uh looking i didn't
trade it i've had him on my bench so it wasn't
i don't know that he's i don't know that there's
necessarily like talks of that happening it should
happen though yes there's speculation like at
this point you know kella more is taking over
down there like Trying to kind of revamp that
offense. You really want an almost 30 year old
running back there. That's like, yeah, exactly.
Trade him away. Get some draft picks. Give me
a year or two or three, whatever it may be, to
like actually build what I'm trying to do here.
I could see it. Let's move it along. We are at
our games of the week this week. And guys, I
want to start this one off by saying, please
don't listen to anything that I have to say,
because my Pick 'ems so far have been absolute
garbage. And in my actual Pick 'em leagues this
week, not good, man. Like 3 and 11 in our GSC
Pick 'ems league. Not good, dude. I am still
at the top, like the last. Four weeks have been
fantastic this week dog shit So you Brandon an
awesome job last week calling out the upsets
Denver, New England Great good for you guys.
Can we please move it along to this week, dude?
Cuz I can't I don't want to stew on that on last
week anymore cuz that was awful for me What do
you got this week You know, there's a couple
of good games this week, but I'm going to roll
with... Sorry, Penguins just beat the Rangers.
Let's go opening night. Let's go, Pens. Both
got our Crosby going on right now. Let's go.
I'm going to go with Seahawks at Jaguars. I feel
like that Seahawks have a Bay game last week
was wild. Awesome. Jags just beat the Chiefs.
Also awesome. I feel like they're rolling and
they're not even really playing that great. Like
no one on like offensively, maybe besides Trevor
Lawrence is doing great on the team, like ETN.
But like, I don't know. I feel like that could
be a really another good game where it's 35,
28, you know, 31, 28, something high scoring
like that. So who am I taking? I don't know,
man. Seahawks probably should have won that game
last week like Sam Donald like Through that interception
man. He just when it comes to the big moments
and like the big games like somehow he finds
a way to lose that out I'm gonna go with the
the caveman girl looking Jaguars whichever Lawrence
Hey, I here's what I will say I just want to
show some love to Baker Mayfield that is maybe
top three, if not top five favorite player of
mine in the NFL. I love watching him play. He's
got the dog in him and go bucks, go Baker Mayfield
getting the win in Seattle last week. I do like
this pick though, Jordan, because the Jags Chiefs
game on Monday night, I thought was a really
interesting game. I thought it was fun to watch.
There was a lot of you know, stuff that could
be debated and picked apart. But what I liked
from the Jags is even though brian thomas jr
and travis hunter aren't putting up like the
major like when you're weak type of fantasy points
i did see him throwing that ball down the field
and i don't know if that was just you know part
of the chief's defense but there were a couple
of big pop plays there that really got my attention
and honestly man i'm gonna ride with the jags
on this one being at home and going right back
to doing that same type of stuff i think I think
Travis Hunter finds the end zone this weekend.
I think they put it all together. I think they
get the dub at home. Give me the Jags. Brandon
did give us his picks, by the way, before we
recorded tonight. But I don't remember what they
were, so hopefully he wrote them down. So I don't
know who Brandon picked. But we're going to go
ahead and say he picked the Bears versus the
Commanders this weekend for his game of the week.
I think it's a good pick. That's an island game,
right? That's a Monday night? I think so. Is
that correct? I think so, right? Double check.
Hold on for a second. It is Monday night in Washington.
Could be interesting. This goes back to a little
bit of what you talked about with the Bears.
They're going to click off a win against the
commanders who just... Really stuck it to the
Chargers this last weekend, man. I have a hard
time picking against him coming back home after
that win. Jaden Daniels. He's got a game under
his belt. He's feeling better. Do we know when
we get McLaurin back? This this week, right?
Is it this week? I thought he was. I thought
it was out. My foreman has him. He was talking
about him coming back. He seems him to come back
and do good. I could pull up real quick. Yeah,
I got it here. Could return in week six. So yeah,
could return. I'll take it. We'll see how the
rest of this week plays out. It's a Monday game.
It gives him an extra day at rest. Yeah, man.
No, no hate for the Bears, man. But give me the
manders. Big win last weekend. Jane Daniels is
back. You've got an affinity for the Bears. I
can see it in your face, man. I do, and I don't
know why. Maybe it's because I like Caleb Williams
painting his nails. I don't know. I don't know,
man. I think the Bears, like, I think as the
season goes on, like, I feel like they might
just get better. Like, Caleb Williams is, I think
him and Roma Dunes there are clicking. Once he
gets to going with DJ Moore again, He's got two
great tight ends like. They got a good rookie.
The run game ever like truly gets going like.
I feel like the Bears could do like whether or
not they win like they're going to put up points
student like commanders are going to put up points.
I think to beat them like. I don't feel like
Ben Johnson is going to game plan good. Help
the Bears. I'm taking the Bears. Alright. I'm
here for it. I'm pretty sure Brandon took the
manders in that one, but I like that take, man.
I don't agree with it. I think the prime time.
Why don't you click off a couple of wins in the
morning games before you convince me that you're
going to win in prime time. Hey there, soon too.
Okay. All right. I will give you guys Lion's
Chiefs this week. Just talked about it. Jags
rolled in. Took the took the dub in prime time.
Crazy game. Interesting game. I think we're starting
to see some of these parts and pieces fall out,
right? Xavier Worthy was back. They're they're
getting Rashi rice back. I have Patrick Mahomes
as my fantasy quarterback The Chiefs are gonna
be the Chiefs and they're gonna be fine. However
This is the first time in the last Five years
six years that we have seen this kind of start
from the Chiefs, right? Last year they went 11
and oh in one score games so far this year. They're
what three, you know, or excuse me Oh and three
Oh, and for maybe it's it's demoralizing. And
I don't care who you are. Professional athlete,
you know, seasoned veteran, whatever it is, that
shit gets to you. There's a lot of tension in
that locker room. Chris Jones is pissed. You
know, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey are pissed.
There's a lot of tension there. That type of
tension in my mind does not breed better play.
I'm I'm starting to see when I watch the Chiefs
play. There's a lot of things that you don't
normally see happening with the Chiefs. That
fourth quarter play where he was trying to just
beam Hollywood Brown across the field to get
them set up for the field goal, he wasn't even
looking for the ball, dude. He's like, I know
Patrick Mahomes, he's not looking for me right
now. So he just kept running his damn route.
I'm just out here to get the defender out of
the way. boom nails him in the shoulder pad you
know they had that play a couple of weeks ago
where like isaiah pacheco didn't know which way
to run and they're dropping the passes and shit
like that you don't normally see this from the
chiefs however over the last few weeks it has
been a trend i look at this game where i'm like
detroit's gonna come in they're gonna fuck you
up and i hope they do give me the lions I don't
even know what's that saying. You took the long
way around to get there in the short way, however
that saying goes. I don't think that's a real
saying, but I'll take it. However that goes,
where you said a lot just to get there, and I
love it because I agree, man. Yeah, the Chiefs,
I think are struggling. I already said the Lions
went into Baltimore. and ran all over them, like
showed their authority. I think the lions are
going to go into Kansas city and they're going
to chop them down. They're going to run it straight
at them. Shout out to Mr. Rob Pinkham with, uh,
I'm going to draft Jameer Gibbs and David Montgomery,
and I'm going to start them every week on my
team. I don't think it's a bad play when you're
putting up 30 points. I don't think it's bad.
Like they have a good game. you're probably going
to do good, you know? That's 85 % of the time,
it's going to be good. I think the Lions go in
there, and I think they win by double digits.
That's crazy, man. Who would have thought that
that was a sentence we were going to say this
year? The Chiefs look discombobulated right now,
man. I don't know what it is. They need help?
They do need help. I'll say it here, I don't
know that Rishi Rice coming back is going to
be the difference maker for him. I really don't.
They look rough and I can't wait till they play
the Broncos. Agreed. Anything else for games
of the week Jordan? Hopefully I have a better
week this week I think we'll try to get a count
on how we're doing so far throughout the season
We are five games in at that point will be six
games and it's time to get a count So one of
us three can have bragging rights But I'll take
this moment to remind you guys that basketball
is just a couple of weeks away. So we will have
fantasy basketball leagues coming up on our socials
Specifically on Facebook find us that gets Sunday
covered and you can find us at get Sunday covered
on all of the socials actually, Instagram, Twitter,
all that stuff. And speaking of finding us like
that, we do have a cool announcement coming up
next week. I'm not going to, like I said, say
too much about of it, but we may have a partner
coming in, we will have a new segment coming
up. Kind of keep you guys engaged a little bit.
I know at some point, you know, it gets a little
bit mundane just listening to us to talk shit.
