Speaker 1: The Kentucky Fantasy Football State Championship Main event is the
Speaker 1: main event. I play it because I can't play in
Speaker 1: the FFPC main event. But if I it's a bad situation.
Speaker 1: But it's okay because all of you listing watching you
Speaker 1: could play in the FFPC main event that features a
Speaker 1: million dollar grand prize, compete against guys like Farrell Elliott
Speaker 1: in it the each additional team you get. By the way,
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars off will be the price for each
Speaker 1: additional team after your first one.
Speaker 2: And we are nine days away not.
Speaker 1: Only from the starter pros versus jokes, but we are
Speaker 1: nine days away from the last day you can pay
Speaker 1: up and get your balance squared away for your main
Speaker 1: event team to ensure that you get your draft slot
Speaker 1: early on August second. So if you're drafting in the
Speaker 1: main event in August and September, you want that draft
Speaker 1: slot early, pay those teams off and get those teams
Speaker 1: registered and paid for by July twenty sixth to get
Speaker 1: that draft spot early. My FFPC dot com is where
Speaker 1: to go for that. My FFPC dot com. I want
Speaker 1: to bring in Tonight's guests for extra reps, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: He is no stranger to these airwaves. I've done multiple
Speaker 1: shows with him over the years, and he is a
Speaker 1: player that I counted this up, more than one hundred
Speaker 1: FFPC league championships to his name, three of those being
Speaker 1: main Event league titles. This past Friday in the Big
Speaker 1: Gorilla that you watched right here on this stream, he
Speaker 1: drafted eleventh and he's here to tell us about the
Speaker 1: thought process between behind a lot of those picks. That
Speaker 1: night you follow him on the X at Amity Hooks.
Speaker 1: Please welcome on to Extra Reps, mister Norm Barons.
Speaker 2: Norm, good evening, sir tlemen.
Speaker 4: Good to see you.
Speaker 2: Good to be seen, mister Norm. Congratulations of that great
Speaker 2: track record of Fantasy play.
Speaker 4: I am actually shocked.
Speaker 5: I didn't realize I had that kind of a hit ratio.
Speaker 5: I don't actually track to it. It's like golf. You
Speaker 5: only remember the good ones, and yes, it's too much
Speaker 5: to remember after all the bad ones.
Speaker 1: The thing I want to lead things off with tonight
Speaker 1: is something you brought to my attention and I immediately
Speaker 1: felt bad as soon as you said this. So Friday
Speaker 1: night on the stream. Adam Hahn, longtime viewer, watcher of
Speaker 1: this show and a guy I've tried to get on
Speaker 1: Extra Reps as well. So Adam, if you're watching this,
Speaker 1: let me know, buddy. The position he was drafting in
Speaker 1: was fourth. His team name was Bulky's Biscuit Okay, and
Speaker 1: it was spelled b I z K. I T like
Speaker 1: the band Limp Biscuit and Norm you mentioned this to
Speaker 1: me that I said I was going to explain to
Speaker 1: everybody where that name came from, but unfortunately, apparently I
Speaker 1: never did.
Speaker 4: Other topics were more important.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that yes, but remain he is one of
Speaker 2: the great mysteries of FFPC broadcast history.
Speaker 1: So so so we're going to put an end to
Speaker 1: that mystery tonight because I said I was going to
Speaker 1: pay it off and I never did. I'm going to
Speaker 1: pay it off tonight. What he's referring to. And I
Speaker 1: think this was almost positive. It was an f FPC
Speaker 1: insider access show and I think I did it with Dan.
Speaker 2: Williamson a few weeks ago.
Speaker 1: And I can't remember the player we were talking about,
Speaker 1: but it was a player that it might have been
Speaker 1: Wandale Robinson. I think it was actually Wandale Robinson, a
Speaker 1: player that nobody brags about drafting, right, A player that
Speaker 1: you don't You don't flex like, yeah, well I got
Speaker 1: Wandale Robinson on this squad, right, Farrell. You might that
Speaker 1: that's okay, but I'm saying, you know, Joe Fantasy is
Speaker 1: not going to go out and like, oh, how'd your
Speaker 1: team turn out? You know, people are gonna be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I got Gibbs, I got Pooka or I got you know,
Speaker 1: Colson Lovely, nobody gets nobody leads off. It's say like
Speaker 1: oh League winner Wandale Robinson. Baby, he's not a player
Speaker 1: that you brag about, but he's a player you probably
Speaker 1: want on your team where where he gets selected. So
Speaker 1: my point was, he's he's not a very sexy pick,
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, he might be an embarrassing pick, but
Speaker 1: he's going to help your team win.
Speaker 2: He's going to get the job done.
Speaker 1: And I compare that to my love for the two
Speaker 1: thousands band Limp Biscuit. I don't go out in rag that.
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Limp Biscuit fan.
Speaker 2: I don't you don't.
Speaker 1: I think Limp Biscuit gets a bad rap, but I'm
Speaker 1: not out there defending them. But yeah, I think their
Speaker 1: music's awesome. And I know it's kind of like garbage music.
Speaker 1: It's it's empty calorie music. I don't care. I love it.
Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. Right Nickelback or Creed, Well, it's okay,
Speaker 1: so here's that. Now you bring up Nickelback, and I said, now,
Speaker 1: Nickelback gets a bad rap, Like nobody Everybody's like, oh
Speaker 1: I hate Nickelback or whatever, now that I have given
Speaker 1: them a shot, I can't get into their music at all. Now.
Speaker 1: People said, no, no, you got to listen to their
Speaker 1: first album. I went back and listen to their first album.
Speaker 1: I didn't care for it. Now, maybe I come off
Speaker 1: as as a total music ne'er do well that I'm
Speaker 1: I'm denigrating early Nickelback and I'm pumping up Limp Biscuit.
Speaker 1: I don't care. That's my taste. Don't at me, bro,
Speaker 1: But I'll say this about Limp Biscuit.
Speaker 2: I won't breag. I won't go out there and say
Speaker 2: how awesome they are, how much I love them.
Speaker 1: But I'm still gonna listen to them because they get
Speaker 1: the job done for me, and I will I will
Speaker 1: never stop listening, at least their old stuff that I've
Speaker 1: listened to, the stuff that they came out earlier. So
Speaker 1: the name Bulky's Biscuit is from Adam Hahn hearing that conversation,
Speaker 1: and now Limp Biscuit has gotten more airtime on this
Speaker 1: dream than they probably have gotten on radio stations in
Speaker 1: the last ten years.
Speaker 4: Mystery solved.
Speaker 1: The mystery is solved, and I'm hopefully we're all better
Speaker 1: for it. Okay, before we get into your draft, Norman,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull up the draft board here shortly. There's
Speaker 1: one thing I do want to talk about here that
Speaker 1: we did not get into on Wednesday with Colton Beg
Speaker 1: your pardon, Clayton Ethridge, and that was Malik Neighbors. John
Speaker 1: Harbaughs said earlier this week that Neighbors is expected to
Speaker 1: work his way into practice as training camp begins. This
Speaker 1: was on Monday. He was on the ESPN Dominique Foxworth Show,
Speaker 1: and one way or another is apparently how he's going
Speaker 1: to be working his way into practice. He's on schedule,
Speaker 1: which Farrell, you know it to me. On schedule means
Speaker 1: behind schedule, and he's doing better every day. Harbob would
Speaker 1: not offer any timeline on Neighbors at all. Remember he's
Speaker 1: had two surgeries on his knee since he tore his
Speaker 1: ACL in September of twenty twenty five. This is a
Speaker 1: guy that's been falling normal. I'm gonna get your thoughts
Speaker 1: on this in the second with Farrel, I want to
Speaker 1: get your thoughts on this. Fantasymojo dot Com over the
Speaker 1: last five days, which by the way, is run by
Speaker 1: Darren ARMANI the Godfather of the pros versus Joe's challenge
Speaker 1: at Fantasy Mojo on acts. You're playing FFPC, get a
Speaker 1: subscription to Fantasymojo dot com. It will be well worth it.
Speaker 1: Malik Neighbors has plummeted. You think back to February March,
Speaker 1: where he was like a second round pick, maybe even
Speaker 1: a borderline first round pick. That's not the case anymore. Pharaoh,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about Elik Neighbors as the wide
Speaker 1: receiver twenty at the four oh eight.
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm going to move away from that. Steve
Speaker 2: g Norm when he was on the show this past week,
Speaker 2: who you know is from that area of the world
Speaker 2: like yourself. He's a New Yorker, You're you're a New
Speaker 2: england Er, and you guys are plugged into a comprehensive
Speaker 2: review media of these teams, and you know, at that
Speaker 2: kind of risk. Steve g says that he's faster right
Speaker 2: now than Neighbors is. So it's a situation where I'm
Speaker 2: going to say that the company he keeps in the
Speaker 2: fourth round is too impressive and too endearing to me
Speaker 2: to go out and take that risk. You know, I'm
Speaker 2: not risk of ours drafting, but I don't want there's
Speaker 2: no reason to take that risk. That's my opinion.
Speaker 5: Nor go ahead, go ahead. I was gonna say, I
Speaker 5: agree wholeheartedly on that. I can't believe for the Big
Speaker 5: Apple that there's not more fan based public outcry for
Speaker 5: doing something with him as far as just putting him
Speaker 5: further away from active roster starting. But maybe that's the
Speaker 5: coaching staff wanting to be positive for him. But I
Speaker 5: won't touch him at four or five. I don't really
Speaker 5: want him at all because I'm looking at their schedule
Speaker 5: and saying, Okay, even if he comes back right at
Speaker 5: his buy before the buy there against Houston and after
Speaker 5: the buy there at Philly, and the rest of the schedules,
Speaker 5: doesn't seem favorable for him to be producing after six, seven,
Speaker 5: potentially eight weeks off and he was off all of
Speaker 5: last year making fun of himself and commercials saying yeah,
Speaker 5: I was drafted on your team and I didn't do anything.
Speaker 5: I'm not ready to buy into him at any ADP.
Speaker 2: At this point.
Speaker 1: Okay, So Norm, I think I know how you're going
Speaker 1: to answer this, but I'm gonna ask you anyway, because
Speaker 1: Malik neighbors. Well remember back at back, I'm old enough
Speaker 1: to remember back in March when he was going in
Speaker 1: the Nicocollins, Drake London, A J. Brown area, maybe even
Speaker 1: higher than that, maybe the Jefferson Lamb area, maybe right
Speaker 1: after those guys he is in. As I always like
Speaker 1: to call it a glut of wide receivers. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: list off the receivers going between the four h five
Speaker 1: and four eleven.
Speaker 2: Right now, there's seven of them. Neighbors is one of them.
Speaker 1: You tell me if you would take neighbors over any
Speaker 1: of these guys in that area. Mconkie, McMillan, Higgins, Waddle.
Speaker 2: Burden, McLaurin. Would you take neighbors over any of those guys? No,
Speaker 2: none of them? All right, So then I mean you
Speaker 2: get down.
Speaker 1: I mean sort of like the next year you're looking
Speaker 1: at Evans Adams, Jamison Williams, o'doonza. I'm kind of with you, Norm.
Speaker 1: And one of the things we haven't talked about neighbors.
Speaker 1: And I brought this up before, but I'll bring it
Speaker 1: up again because I think it's important.
Speaker 2: Let's say he starts on pop.
Speaker 1: Let's say he's back by week five or week six
Speaker 1: or whatever you mentioned the schedule, Norm, I'll mention this
Speaker 1: two ACL surgeries, this is his first year back from
Speaker 1: the ACL. Are we even should we even believe he's
Speaker 1: going to be close to Capital Letters Molik Neighbors all season.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like this twenty twenty six, it's
Speaker 1: already shaping up for a lost season for Neighbors. He's
Speaker 1: gonna plummet in twenty twenty seven drafts. And that's when
Speaker 1: you strike, You strike while the iron's hot on him.
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty six it's kind of a fool's gold.
Speaker 2: Year for Neighbors.
Speaker 1: Normally I don't like to be out on anybody, but man,
Speaker 1: it is a really, really tough case for me to say.
Speaker 1: Like it's like, if this happens, if this goes right,
Speaker 1: if this is how it is, it's all these ifs.
Speaker 1: If they go right, then yeah, Neighbors can pay off
Speaker 1: in his ADP. But I just feel like, even if
Speaker 1: he's out there, and even if he's playing, I don't
Speaker 1: really see him Pharrell, I'll throw this year. I don't
Speaker 1: really see him being to the level of the player
Speaker 1: that we're accustomed to with Neighbors.
Speaker 2: Well, somebody tells me they just drafted elite Neighbors. You
Speaker 2: know what I want to tell him, just drafted one
Speaker 2: Dale Robinson, So you think you can take that. I'm
Speaker 2: proud of my one Dale Robinson.
Speaker 4: That's a good point.
Speaker 2: And let's don't bury the player. This is a terrible situation.
Speaker 2: You know, availability is the greatest ability and this is
Speaker 2: not it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's let's say his ADP bricks. I mean, now
Speaker 5: you're talking about Okay, Well, who else in the Giants
Speaker 5: is gonna catch the ball? Would you consider Isaiah likely
Speaker 5: instead of it as a pivot, especially in a two
Speaker 5: flex situation. If his ADP plummets and his current ADP,
Speaker 5: I wouldn't touch it. But he's falling enough where I'd
Speaker 5: want to look at Okay, who else is there? Because
Speaker 5: Jackson darts no slouch. He's gonna throw it to somebody
Speaker 5: and it's not gonna be It's not gonna be Odell
Speaker 5: Beckham and and Darius Slayton is still there. And I
Speaker 5: do like the rookie they got h forget. I like
Speaker 5: him a lot, but he's rough, and who knows what's
Speaker 5: gonna happen in that or But I would look at
Speaker 5: Randelle Robinson wholeheartedly over the leak neighbors, No problem if
Speaker 5: is ADP Bricks, and then I would also consider likely
Speaker 5: who's the only known who has hands?
Speaker 4: Uh?
Speaker 2: Well, one was smart enough to get the hell out
Speaker 2: of New York before he got hurt too. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: I mean between Dart between Skataboo now the neighbors and
Speaker 2: and you know O'Dell Beckham. He's going to stay healthy
Speaker 2: all year.
Speaker 1: This is interesting though, guys, because if you look at
Speaker 1: the Giants pass catchers that are being drafted right now,
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, Skataboo at the four to h four,
Speaker 1: Tyrone Tracy at the eleven o four, but they're running backs,
Speaker 1: right you got to be able to spread the field.
Speaker 2: There's not much else.
Speaker 1: It's likely at the seven oh six who's been climbing
Speaker 1: I think in part because of the neighbors injury or whatever.
Speaker 1: But then the only other wide receivers or tight ends
Speaker 1: that are being drafted right now in the Big Gorilla
Speaker 1: is Darnell Mooney in the eighteenth and Malachi Fields in
Speaker 1: the nineteenth. That's wide receiver eighty three, Wide receiver ninety three.
Speaker 1: Take advantage of those free squares right now, because those
Speaker 1: could look really, really good for you in September. I
Speaker 1: mean you could be looking as Mooney as the number
Speaker 1: one wide receiver on this team for five weeks, six weeks,
Speaker 1: maybe longer. I mean, I don't know. And he's free
Speaker 1: right now. So you know, it'd be different if Neighbors
Speaker 1: had like a T. Higgins or a Davonte Adams on
Speaker 1: that team, where it's just an easy slide over to
Speaker 1: these guys that would be number one receivers if they
Speaker 1: didn't have Naku or Chase his teammates.
Speaker 2: Neighbors doesn't have that.
Speaker 1: And and the fact that you could get these Giants
Speaker 1: so far late in the game. It's or THEO Johnson,
Speaker 1: for God's sake.
Speaker 2: You know, there was a report.
Speaker 1: I think it came out a couple like it was
Speaker 1: during mini camp, and I can't remember. It was a Well,
Speaker 1: I don't remember his name, but it was a well.
Speaker 1: It was a very well known Giants beat writer. It
Speaker 1: might have been Vaciano. Ralph Acchianum said something like it
Speaker 1: was clear to him that the top two pass catchers
Speaker 1: for the Giants were likely in THEO Johnson. So that's
Speaker 1: another guy too, tight end premium norm you think about
Speaker 1: him late too. There are so many free players available
Speaker 1: in this Giants team late that given the neighbors news
Speaker 1: right now, if you don't believe in neighbors, you should
Speaker 1: be utilizing some of these late round picks on these
Speaker 1: Giants pass catchers.
Speaker 2: There's all right.
Speaker 1: You drafted live this past Friday on the High Stakes
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Hour. From the eleventh spot, team named Margarita Classic.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a meaning behind that.
Speaker 5: Norm it's just a theme. My better half of the
Speaker 5: draft of me, he's unnamed. We've gone to over this before,
Speaker 5: but we have a cycle of going through different mental
Speaker 5: shifts and we have a zamboni, we have a latte,
Speaker 5: we have Margarita.
Speaker 4: And we just name them different things.
Speaker 2: It's very good.
Speaker 1: So from the eleventh spot, we'll kick things off with
Speaker 1: what you did in the first round. Now, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: preface this, Farrell. This might surprise you. I don't maybe
Speaker 1: it won't surprise you at all. I have been off
Speaker 1: and I've been kind of saying, like my first round
Speaker 1: boss was Trey McBride. I didn't like McBride this year.
Speaker 1: I didn't like how high he was going. I looked
Speaker 1: at how historic the passing numbers were for Arizona last year,
Speaker 1: I looked at how this guy over the course of
Speaker 1: his career. Last year was really the first year he
Speaker 1: consistently got in the end zone. And then I think
Speaker 1: about the Carson Beck effect, that could be Beck throwing.
Speaker 2: At these guys late in the season.
Speaker 1: So Caleb Alcorn was on the Tuesday Night's Road of
Speaker 1: his High Stakes Lowdown with me and I asked we
Speaker 1: were talking about McBride, and he said, one guy he's
Speaker 1: trying to get everywhere is Trey McBride. And I kind
Speaker 1: of brought up these aspects that the misgivings I have
Speaker 1: about McBride this year, and he kind of shot him
Speaker 1: down one by one. He's kind of like, you know,
Speaker 1: defense still isn't great. They still have to play that
Speaker 1: the Niner, Seahawks and Rams six times. I mean, those
Speaker 1: should be games where they're throwing to be in the game.
Speaker 1: And McBride's awesome, obviously. And then I brought up Carson
Speaker 1: Beck and he's like, look at what happened in Cleveland
Speaker 1: last year with Sugar Sanders and Harold Fannon was still
Speaker 1: much more than just relevant. He was a fantasy asset,
Speaker 1: and so norm now I'm kind of rethinking I was
Speaker 1: ready just to go butt heads with you tonight on
Speaker 1: trade McBride, And now I'm kind of like you know what,
Speaker 1: I think McBride is a pretty good pick at the
Speaker 1: end of the first round, early second round in the
Speaker 1: big Gorilla, And clearly the misgivings and the concerns I had,
Speaker 1: you didn't have them because you were more than happy
Speaker 1: to start off with McBride at the one eleven.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I honestly the McBride and brock Bauer is value in
Speaker 5: the first round, especially on this side of the draft board.
Speaker 5: It's too high in a premium play like we have,
Speaker 5: And honestly, I didn't think anything else would be a
Speaker 5: differentiator beyond those two. Obviously, if Bowers was there of
Speaker 5: been a huge gift. But I'll take McBride at eleven
Speaker 5: every time. Not to try and telegraph anything I'm gonna
Speaker 5: be doing elsewhere if anyone's listening, but I validly think
Speaker 5: that McBride at that point, for the premium and scoring
Speaker 5: is the best pick to make.
Speaker 1: If Bowers and McBride were both available, would you have
Speaker 1: taken Bowers over McBride.
Speaker 2: North Yes, Okay, all right, And.
Speaker 5: I'm not even worried about the schedule, and I know
Speaker 5: your Carson beckete is real and documented, but I'm not
Speaker 5: even worried about it, because no matter who's throwing the ball,
Speaker 5: they're going to need an outlet, and he's very.
Speaker 4: Good at what he does.
Speaker 5: Trey McBride is, so I'm not even I mean, beck
Speaker 5: hasn't even signed yet, so I'm more concerned from if
Speaker 5: I had a reset owner, I'd be more worried about
Speaker 5: Gardner Minshew, who's always Gardner minshewing things.
Speaker 4: But I'm still not worried about Trey McBride.
Speaker 2: You know, guys, it's any quarterback that's going to try
Speaker 2: to make a run holding a professional job in the
Speaker 2: National Football League with a player likely Bride on his team,
Speaker 2: and that's where he's going to lean. So Balky, I'm
Speaker 2: glad you got some religion on that matter. I wasn't
Speaker 2: going to point it out to you because in my
Speaker 2: thought process it was he was so evident that I
Speaker 2: thought any conversation would be remedia in nature, and I
Speaker 2: was not going to have that with you.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't mind picking a bone with both of you
Speaker 5: guys about the Colston Loveland discussion you had last week
Speaker 5: on the draft that's not someone I'm interested in until
Speaker 5: the third round. I wouldn't pair him with anyone Brock
Speaker 5: Bauers or Train McBride, but I would consider it just
Speaker 5: for the uniqueness of it from the overall competition. But
Speaker 5: I'm not interested in Colson Loveland until the third round
Speaker 5: because of the love and hype train that is Luther
Speaker 5: Burden and Romo Dunes.
Speaker 4: I know Colson Lovelan's good.
Speaker 5: I'm excited for him where I've got him, but I'm
Speaker 5: not looking at him in the first and second round.
Speaker 5: It's a far cry when you look at projections and
Speaker 5: production from.
Speaker 2: Where going Balkan.
Speaker 1: So right now, over the last five days in the
Speaker 1: Big Gorilla, we have Colston Lovelin sitting at the two
Speaker 1: ten as tight end obviously tight end three behind Bowers
Speaker 1: and McBride in Norm. I don't want to put words
Speaker 1: in your mouth here, but in regards to Loveland, is
Speaker 1: the reason that you are not as high as some
Speaker 1: other FFPC drafters on Loveland because you feel like that
Speaker 1: target split is going to not necessarily be weighted in
Speaker 1: favor of Loveland, or perhaps Loveland and Burden, that o'doonsa
Speaker 1: is going to be a pretty significant target share owner
Speaker 1: of a significant target shair that Bears passing pie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: I don't think that the DJ Brown or DJ more
Speaker 5: volume is going to go automatically to Loveland, and I
Speaker 5: don't see it being the quintessential. Again, I'm not disparaging
Speaker 5: Hammer's pick either, because that's a solid play that he
Speaker 5: made with the Loveland and Tyler Warren, and I'm still
Speaker 5: pissed they took Tyler Warren there because.
Speaker 4: That was going to do that.
Speaker 5: But I'm not looking at Colson Loveland anywhere in the
Speaker 5: second round. Wouldn't you and touch him until the third?
Speaker 2: You know, the quarterback is maturing nicely at twenty four
Speaker 2: years old. Now he's got receivers that are maturing with
Speaker 2: him as well. I think with an improved offensive line play,
Speaker 2: and that's that's taking a lot to heart with this team.
Speaker 2: But with improved offensive line play and the new coaching
Speaker 2: that's there. You know, the Bears they flirted with four
Speaker 2: thousand yards passing last year. I think maybe he gets
Speaker 2: up into the forty three forty four hunderdyard passing this year,
Speaker 2: and if he does, it elevates everybody and love them,
Speaker 2: love them will be there. I just if you want
Speaker 2: this player on some of your teams, you you probably
Speaker 2: won't get that third round luxury. I agree with you, boy,
Speaker 2: That's that's where I would love to take him.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand where you're coming from there, but you
Speaker 2: know you're not going to get wars and McBride all
Speaker 2: the time. So if you want to elite tight end,
Speaker 2: I think this player is certainly elite.
Speaker 5: You know, I agree, And I'm not putting down on Loveland.
Speaker 5: He's a great player, but I don't I would prefer.
Speaker 2: To not you know, Balkey would. I also think Norm
Speaker 2: is an elite name. I notice you're expelled it all.
Speaker 2: If I was named Norm, I will go out and
Speaker 2: find some friends like Coach and Woody. Yeah, but you
Speaker 2: know Dutch, Cliff, Cliff, all these guys.
Speaker 4: Do you have these uh not with those names.
Speaker 2: No, but we've got these guys playing in Kentucky and
Speaker 2: I will assign them to you as friends when you
Speaker 2: get here where you can have them. So we really
Speaker 2: need you to come to Kentucky. And there's something you know,
Speaker 2: Balky will be appearing in Kentucky this year and you
Speaker 2: could join him sort of as a as a as
Speaker 2: a co ad and maybe produce some sort of you know,
Speaker 2: kind of content for the thing. But if you really
Speaker 2: love your Kentucky experience, after we go to Las Vegas,
Speaker 2: you could come back to Kentucky. Because now I've taken
Speaker 2: the show full circle and you, guys, on September seventeenth,
Speaker 2: if you would come to Kentucky and see me, I'll
Speaker 2: host you while we attend Louder than Live the concert
Speaker 2: here in Louisville and actually see Biscuit. You know, the
Speaker 2: Louisville thing is calling out to you. Norm You got
Speaker 2: your friends that you've been waiting for your whole life,
Speaker 2: and you've got Bulky and you got the Biscuit. If
Speaker 2: you can stand all that, you should come.
Speaker 4: I'm open to the invite, Ferrel, and I appreciate it.
Speaker 4: I will consider it.
Speaker 5: I'll have to commune with the Balki to see if
Speaker 5: we can giant schedules. My focus right now is only
Speaker 5: on Vegas, though, I'm super excited for this year coming up.
Speaker 2: And well, if you want to win in Vegas, you
Speaker 2: come here and take some practice, yop.
Speaker 4: I've heard that that is the level just below.
Speaker 2: Not knocks, guys. I'm just noticing this too. Lymp Biscuits
Speaker 2: actually playing at Rockfest and condat Wisconsin this today tonight.
Speaker 2: Well you missed that one, I point out to you. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not out there. It's very here there. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, olymp Biscuit, Iron Maiden, my Chemical Romance Tool, and
Speaker 1: many more. Uh September seventeenth to the twentieth at the
Speaker 1: Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, Kentucky. I'm telling you I
Speaker 1: may have to go Vegas, Louisville and then back to Appleton.
Speaker 1: We are talking FFPC Big Gorilla here tonight. Norm Baron's
Speaker 1: drafted eleventh in our live stream last week. If you
Speaker 1: want to draft in the Big Grill, you can do
Speaker 1: so at midnight tonight. Actually three un and fifty bucks
Speaker 1: is the entry million dollar grand prize seven Bananas. Promo
Speaker 1: is still going strong and give out a lot of
Speaker 1: free bestball teams over the course of the last week
Speaker 1: or two a couple of main event teams as well.
Speaker 1: So check that out. My FFPC dot com is where
Speaker 1: to go to play for a million dollars in the
Speaker 1: Big Gorilla this year. I want to go to your
Speaker 1: third round pick. It came back to you obviously. It
Speaker 1: sounds normal that that your plan was to go McBride,
Speaker 1: Chase Brown and then Tyler Warren. Dan Flamholtz, who was
Speaker 1: on the stream last week, ends up taking Warren at
Speaker 1: the three ten. You pivot to Josh Jacobs, and you said,
Speaker 1: like you might be paying for that pick. I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: it certainly seems like another you know, each and every
Speaker 1: day that goes by that there's no legal things coming
Speaker 1: up with Jacobs seems more and more likely to play
Speaker 1: and norma, I'll just say this real quick too. Bill Huber,
Speaker 1: who covers the Packers for Sports Illustrated, was asked like
Speaker 1: a week or two ago about.
Speaker 2: The Jacobs thing.
Speaker 1: This is after the Terry and Arnold news came out
Speaker 1: with the Lions, and you know, the Lions just cut
Speaker 1: him right away, even though they originally sided with him
Speaker 1: when he spoke with the Lions. And then it comes
Speaker 1: out that, you know, million dollar bail or whatever it is,
Speaker 1: they bait with him, Bill Huber said, regarding Jacobs, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of days after he was arrested
Speaker 1: and then released, the Packers let him play in mini
Speaker 1: camp like he was practicing out there, and he is
Speaker 1: of the opinion like if they were really worried about
Speaker 1: Jacobs and this being a significant thing, they probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: let him back on the practice field. But they did
Speaker 1: almost immediately, And here we are now July seventeenth, still
Speaker 1: no word on Jacobs. Nor am I feel like you
Speaker 1: might have gotten a little bit of a steal here
Speaker 1: at the three eleven.
Speaker 5: Well, definitely, And this is where I looking at the
Speaker 5: queue on that Friday. I know I had Tyler Warren
Speaker 5: and then Jacob's right in order. I wanted to do
Speaker 5: a tight end, tight and high up at least one
Speaker 5: of these three fifties, just because it's fun to have
Speaker 5: that uniqueness. And Jacobs is definitely value. Is just questionable
Speaker 5: about what his situation is going to be for the season.
Speaker 5: Even if he misses some time, he's still going to
Speaker 5: be valuable. But it depends on if he finishes this season,
Speaker 5: because he could be playing for the Penal League potentially.
Speaker 5: But I agree with you and I'm hoping that that's
Speaker 5: the case, and I'm hoping, by me speaking positively kind
Speaker 5: of would that I am not charmatically screwing myself, So.
Speaker 4: I know it.
Speaker 2: Guys, I think all drafters when they get to planet
Speaker 2: Hollywood should do. One thing is disconnect from all social
Speaker 2: media and uh, you know, just just disconnect from you know,
Speaker 2: it's impossible to ask.
Speaker 4: There's too many people that are wired for sound all
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 2: Remember a few years ago when we were at it
Speaker 2: there and it planted Hollywood and people were talking about
Speaker 2: the fact that Jamar Chase was dropping balls in practice.
Speaker 2: That was the funniest standpoint.
Speaker 5: I remember going way back in high stakes when I
Speaker 5: forget what year it was, but it was Eddie George
Speaker 5: was still in the league and they had a delayed
Speaker 5: game because of a hurricane and was going while we
Speaker 5: were drafting, and that was the age.
Speaker 4: This is I'm dating myself with blue blueberries, blackberries.
Speaker 5: I am old, old, but I remember people just panicking
Speaker 5: because they either weren't getting service or they were running
Speaker 5: out power and juice on their device at the time,
Speaker 5: which wasn't like it is now. And again, the more
Speaker 5: I talk to them more I feel like I'm older.
Speaker 2: You're your your your youthful, your youthful Biscuit fanser the Hey,
Speaker 2: I got a ten point pop up bones question for
Speaker 2: you that Yeah, what's the last Bears quarterback to throw
Speaker 2: for four thousand as well. I know this, I know this.
Speaker 4: Can I say you have them?
Speaker 2: I don't believe it has ever happened. Farrell yep, never
Speaker 2: never trick question his story history. Coming in to Chicago bears,
Speaker 2: He's gonna go over four thousand yards.
Speaker 4: Bank it, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing too, Like you cannot like Loveland,
Speaker 1: and you can like Burden or not like Burden, and
Speaker 1: like Loveland or not like either one and like odoonsay.
Speaker 1: But you know what all those ben diagrams come together.
Speaker 1: Cayleb Williams is the guy that's thrown all of them.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot start logging that quarterback the The
Speaker 1: The next thing I want to bring up is is
Speaker 1: something near and dear to Farrell's heart. And I'm gonna
Speaker 1: let you defend yourself on the stream here tonight. Norm
Speaker 1: So we go to the eighth round of your big
Speaker 1: Gorilla draft, and in the eighth round, you already have
Speaker 1: three running backs on your roster. You have two tight
Speaker 1: ends on your roster. You add Fannin to McBride, but
Speaker 1: you only had two receivers at that point, and you
Speaker 1: decide to go to the region of the country where
Speaker 1: three rivers come together.
Speaker 2: Where Perogi's flow like wine, and you end up getting
Speaker 2: Dk Metcalf over Michael Pittman, which was just a knife
Speaker 2: in Feral's heart. You're a receiver, you go to Pittsburgh,
Speaker 2: you take Metcalf, not Pittman. Pittman ends up going out
Speaker 2: of Sean Green at the eight to oh wait later
Speaker 2: that round.
Speaker 1: But I'll let you defend the pick here because I
Speaker 1: know you like Pittman, but this was a Metcalf draft
Speaker 1: for you.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 5: And again this is situational to the position I'm in
Speaker 5: between Hammer and Kevin Harris because they clearly had the
Speaker 5: vibe of what I was targeting. I was looking at
Speaker 5: Chris Godwin there and I got taken right in front
Speaker 5: of me.
Speaker 4: I needed a wide receiver. I feel like two rounds earlier.
Speaker 5: I overreached by a lot on Courtland Sutton, who I
Speaker 5: still like, but it's way too early for him. And
Speaker 5: I thought, Okay, if I did a reach on Sutton,
Speaker 5: I hope it pans out. But I needed to be
Speaker 5: confident about the adp of what my next pick is
Speaker 5: in the eighth round, and I'm tossing a coin between
Speaker 5: Pittman and Metcalf. I kind of feel like they're one A,
Speaker 5: one B, even though Ferrell doesn't and he disagrees loudly.
Speaker 5: I needed to get a quality receiver that was going
Speaker 5: to carry some third wide receiver strength on my team,
Speaker 5: especially after that reach on Courtland Sutton, so I went
Speaker 5: with against my normalcy. I went against that to take
Speaker 5: Metcalf at the ADP because if you looked at the
Speaker 5: ADP on Friday, Metcalf was ahead of Pittman. So again
Speaker 5: coin flip, I didn't like any of other wide receivers
Speaker 5: there after that.
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 5: I'm not overly excited about it, but I also just
Speaker 5: like it because it was of value at the time.
Speaker 5: So I'm not gonna sparkle and rainbows here on DK Metcalf.
Speaker 5: But I chose that specifically for what I had already
Speaker 5: drafted and what I needed to get.
Speaker 2: I do all that, and I don't see the bigger
Speaker 2: gap between those players. I don't either any production I
Speaker 2: probably think. I probably think Pittman is naturally the more
Speaker 2: intriguing play for me, but I couldn't. I don't feel
Speaker 2: that the Metcalf pick is is far away from that.
Speaker 2: In fantasy productions, you're being kind.
Speaker 1: The the other thing I will point out on Wednesday
Speaker 1: on Wednesday Show, Parah, you did say that you felt
Speaker 1: both Pittman and Metcalf were being drafted too late in
Speaker 1: the Big Gorilla.
Speaker 2: They have ADP in the Big Gorilla.
Speaker 1: Right now at the seven to twelve like both of
Speaker 1: them as seven identical seven twelve wide receiver thirty seven
Speaker 1: wide receiver thirty eight.
Speaker 2: So technically both these guys were of.
Speaker 1: Value in the in the Big Gorilla draft. And by
Speaker 1: the way, the Big Gorilla is not the only Gorilla
Speaker 1: we have at the FFPC. We also introduced the Baby
Speaker 1: Gorilla this year, just one hundred and twenty five bucks
Speaker 1: to enter one hundred thousand dollars grand prize. It's the
Speaker 1: exact same format as the Big Gorilla. Managed teams, waiver,
Speaker 1: wire lineup submissions, everything like that. So if you always
Speaker 1: want to play high stakes and you never have before,
Speaker 1: this is the perfect entry into doing that. I look
Speaker 1: at the Baby Gorilla ADP there, they're going even later
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman at oh two DK Metcalf in the eight
Speaker 1: oh three there. So maybe if you if you like
Speaker 1: your if you like yourself, some Steelers receivers the baby Gorilla.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great, and if you drave them a
Speaker 2: league neighbors, you better draft them back to back come.
Speaker 1: Exactly norm As I look at this at the remainder
Speaker 1: of this draft, you have a few players that I've
Speaker 1: been getting in my drafts this year. Josh Downs is
Speaker 1: one of them. Jalen Hurts is another one. I've been
Speaker 1: getting Marshaun Lloyd and Brian Robinson late as well. When
Speaker 1: you look at this whole draft, if I was to
Speaker 1: ask you who your favorite pick was or one of
Speaker 1: your favorite picks in this draft, who would that be?
Speaker 1: And then conversely, is there a pick that you know,
Speaker 1: I know you said you weren't, you know, trumpeting the
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf pick, But is there another pick here too
Speaker 1: that you're like, kind of God, I wish I could
Speaker 1: have that one back, or I really didn't like this one.
Speaker 1: When all said and done, do you have opposite ends
Speaker 1: of the spectrum when you look at this team that
Speaker 1: you built from the eleven spot?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I do. The value for me was I was
Speaker 4: excited about Jalen Hurts in the tenth round.
Speaker 5: His ADP was obviously the midpoint was earlier than that,
Speaker 5: and I felt like that's a steal, and I felt
Speaker 5: confident that I wouldn't even need to get a backup
Speaker 5: because he's going to be the starter and he's got
Speaker 5: a favorable schedule. In my opinion, I was only mad
Speaker 5: when I realized I couldn't really get my head on
Speaker 5: any stackables until I picked up Dantavian Wicks in the
Speaker 5: nineteenth round, who I've been leaning on a little bit,
Speaker 5: but Jalen Hurts of the tenth was probably my proudest steal,
Speaker 5: not steel value pick at the moment, based on who
Speaker 5: was drafting around me. I think I already bashed the
Speaker 5: hell out of Courtland Sutton. I don't like my reach
Speaker 5: in round six for him. That was way too early,
Speaker 5: but I was a little concerned about what else was there.
Speaker 5: I'm not going to take a this is where I'm
Speaker 5: going to make Farrell angry again, but I'm not going
Speaker 5: to take a Brian Thomas or Marvin Harrison. I probably
Speaker 5: should have instead of Sutton, but who knows. Sutton's got
Speaker 5: a lot of good positional situations where Waddall's going to
Speaker 5: take coverage away from him and it might open him
Speaker 5: up to someone on one that he didn't have as
Speaker 5: much of who knows what Sean Payton's going to play
Speaker 5: a plan for him? But I like that pick. But
Speaker 5: I don't like that pick. Other than that, it's the
Speaker 5: question marks, the Josh Jacob's unknown, the known unknowns, the
Speaker 5: Harald Fannins. I took a lot more risks in this draft,
Speaker 5: I feel like than I normally do. But again, it
Speaker 5: was because of the talent of the people that are
Speaker 5: drafting around me. I'm not just blowing smoke.
Speaker 2: Do you do you normally?
Speaker 1: Because obviously you took Marshawn Lloyd in this draft as well.
Speaker 1: I oftentimes like to grab other people's injury away running
Speaker 1: backs rather than my own. If Jacobs didn't have this
Speaker 1: legal stuff going on, would you have still taken Lloyd?
Speaker 4: That was a complete coverage.
Speaker 5: I expect him to be probably my first waveable, only
Speaker 5: because if it truly comes to pass that Jacobs is cleared,
Speaker 5: I don't really need that, and I'm not even confident
Speaker 5: he is going to be the starter. But I wanted
Speaker 5: to make sure I had something for the value that
Speaker 5: I invested in the third round.
Speaker 4: Running back that's potentially got legal issues.
Speaker 2: You got Wix in the nineteenth rim yep, Yeah, what
Speaker 2: do you think you get catch twise out of him?
Speaker 2: Because I think you get sixty out.
Speaker 5: Of That's That's about where I'm at as well, And
Speaker 5: it depends on who who stays healthy. I'm really interested
Speaker 5: in what Godrt's gonna be able to do from a
Speaker 5: health perspective, because he obviously should high tide raises all boats.
Speaker 5: He should get more. But that rookie is also going
Speaker 5: to steal from him. But Wicks is such a value
Speaker 5: pick there at nineteenth. It's free, like we all talk about,
Speaker 5: and I really think with Jalen Hurts, I needed to
Speaker 5: have that stackable commodity.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll say this about Wicks too, there are
Speaker 1: you know Goddard his his fantasy value last year was
Speaker 1: so dependent upon touchdowns, and maybe that happens again. I
Speaker 1: don't know, it's it's entirely possible. But if you do
Speaker 1: not believe in Makay Lemon, you know who's been dealing
Speaker 1: with these hamstring injuries, and you know he's probably gonna
Speaker 1: be fine for training camp, but he's already off to
Speaker 1: a bad start as far as getting on the field
Speaker 1: in Philly. And I know there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: who didn't like the Lemon pick, you know for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: If you don't like Lemon and you think Goddard's washed,
Speaker 1: isn't Wicks kind of a must in your big gorilla
Speaker 1: draft in the nineteenth round? I mean, especially when you
Speaker 1: have Jalen Hurts, it makes perfect sense. Which I'll just
Speaker 1: say this too, guys, in regards to the Jalen Hurts pick,
Speaker 1: one of my favorite quarterbacks the draft this year as well.
Speaker 1: If we look at the super Flex Best Ball Tournament
Speaker 1: with the FFPC, where obviously quarterbacks get pushed up, Hurts
Speaker 1: is going as quarterback six. He's a second round pick
Speaker 1: there obviously different format, so we don't want to like
Speaker 1: equate the two. But I'm telling you, like when you
Speaker 1: have a player who had his worst season as a
Speaker 1: throw in Philadelphia a last year with Hurts, a guy
Speaker 1: who just did not run last year, a historic low
Speaker 1: in his rushing yards and rushing touchdowns last year, and
Speaker 1: now you can get him in the tenth round or
Speaker 1: the second round of the FFPC Super Flex Bestball Tournament
Speaker 1: thirty five bucks to enter one hundred thousand dollars grand prize.
Speaker 1: There live and slow drafts filling up where you could
Speaker 1: draft Jalen Hurts at the two to zero four, only
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks going ahead of him. I feel like this
Speaker 1: is the perfect opportunity Norm to buy a proven asset
Speaker 1: coming off a bad year, which is what we're always
Speaker 1: trying to do. That's how values created in fantasy football.
Speaker 1: And Norm, you're such a believer in him. He was
Speaker 1: your only quarterback you drafted in that draft, and well
Speaker 1: you got him in a double digit rown.
Speaker 5: That's just the redraft fabable moment where I know that
Speaker 5: I can probably if he's not gonna be the solution,
Speaker 5: then there's no one else after him that's going to
Speaker 5: be better. I'm not gonna not start anyone but him
Speaker 5: until he, you know, his treads wear off. But I'm
Speaker 5: still shocked at he was there at ten. In fact,
Speaker 5: I was still trying to recover from my Holy cow,
Speaker 5: my wide receivers are bad, where I didn't want to
Speaker 5: look at quarterbacks until I saw him bubbling up and
Speaker 5: I said, I've got to pull this.
Speaker 4: This is too much value in the tenth round.
Speaker 2: I was embarrassingly wrong about Goddard last year because I
Speaker 2: thought not that he was washed a bad word bulge
Speaker 2: to use and the NFL players, but I thought that
Speaker 2: his physically, he just wasn't quite able to do it.
Speaker 2: And you know, I still don't see him as a
Speaker 2: downfield threat as a tight end, but I don't think
Speaker 2: a player coming off of eleven touchdown season and he's
Speaker 2: a celebrated tight end for fantasy football for all these years.
Speaker 4: He caught more.
Speaker 2: Passes last year than he's ever called before. His sixty
Speaker 2: was a top receiving that he's ever had, and I
Speaker 2: don't Yeah, Balky is he never called touchdowns like that before,
Speaker 2: but a lot of people could say it would be
Speaker 2: because of the the unique tush push running plays as
Speaker 2: a way that they end or anyway just has me thinking.
Speaker 2: And so you know, I've I made a mistake on
Speaker 2: god Ard last year. I'm not sure I want you
Speaker 2: guys to do that this year. You could be trending
Speaker 2: towards a mistake. And I believe it's because you haven't
Speaker 2: been talking to guys like Norm. You've been hanging out
Speaker 2: with some of those pros. You know, we can't We've
Speaker 2: got Wednesday and we've got Friday with you, and we
Speaker 2: can't help what you do when we're not with you.
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, Thursday is when I kind of
Speaker 1: like that's my rum springer.
Speaker 2: Where I just yeah, you know, you're drinking at the
Speaker 2: wrong bar the end and you're likely to get into trouble,
Speaker 2: but it's you know, I just yeah.
Speaker 1: What Wednesday is when when I'm when I'm dialed in.
Speaker 1: Thursday is my night where I go off the rails,
Speaker 1: and Friday is when I'm all hungover and I pay
Speaker 1: for it.
Speaker 2: We bring you back in.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Goddard, by the way, uh, he turns thirty two
Speaker 1: this season. Is yards per catch last year was the
Speaker 1: lowest of his career. Yeah, yards per game was the
Speaker 1: second lowest of his career, next to his rookie year.
Speaker 1: I'll read off this. This is receiving touchdowns by year
Speaker 1: for Goddard in his NFL career four five three four
Speaker 1: three three two eleven. He had eleven times outs last year,
Speaker 1: more than twice as much as he's had in his
Speaker 1: best year before that. Touchdowns not always the stickiest of stats,
Speaker 1: as I like to say, but that and you know.
Speaker 2: That's exactly the cadence of when I'm shooting craps in Vegas.
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, very good, Well, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, so Philly is gonna be one that
Speaker 1: you got to get right this year. Obviously with Lemon
Speaker 1: and Stours and and Man in the the the X
Speaker 1: factors that are there this year that weren't there last year.
Speaker 2: No A. J.
Speaker 1: Brown as well, another another pepper in the gumbo that
Speaker 1: we have to figure out. Norm As we wrap up
Speaker 1: the discussion specifically on this draft, how did you feel
Speaker 1: like if you were going to give yourself a letter grade?
Speaker 1: I know you were down on your receivers in this,
Speaker 1: but you do have some difference makers up at the top.
Speaker 1: You didn't get that, uh you know the the top
Speaker 1: four tight ends. You know, two of the top four
Speaker 1: tight ends on your team, but you got two of
Speaker 1: the top six in McBride and Fan and I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot to like about this team. What letter
Speaker 1: grade would you give this particular squad?
Speaker 5: This This is always a question to answer and I
Speaker 5: always when people ask me about my dress, you know,
Speaker 5: how do you do? I'm more a realistic pessimist than
Speaker 5: I am an optimist. I know you guys are very
Speaker 5: much about the positivity and celebrating what's there, but I'm
Speaker 5: looking at it critically all the time to try and
Speaker 5: improve for other leagues.
Speaker 4: I'd give this a solid B minus. And I'm being honest.
Speaker 5: I still think that the wide receiver holes are enough
Speaker 5: to concern me. I mean, the Stefan Diggs is still
Speaker 5: a question mark. I don't know what's going to happen
Speaker 5: with him. I'm hoping it comes out favorable, where he
Speaker 5: signs like Washington or somewhere else the Raiders and he
Speaker 5: becomes a productive member like he did with New England.
Speaker 5: I like our depth as far as running back. Some
Speaker 5: wides deeper in the draft the free zone. But they
Speaker 5: have to produce and there has to be some special
Speaker 5: things that happened because of their production, so that may
Speaker 5: or may.
Speaker 4: Not affect other people.
Speaker 5: So again I'm being pessimistic but realistic and B minus
Speaker 5: B ish. I wouldn't go B plus. I'm too critical
Speaker 5: for that.
Speaker 4: But thanks for giving me the opportunity to grade myself.
Speaker 4: It always sucks.
Speaker 1: There's There's listen, I knew you were going to bring
Speaker 1: the real and you weren't. You know, there's some people
Speaker 1: that will Tom and Allen d I think when they
Speaker 1: were when they were on I asked him to There's
Speaker 1: and Tommy was.
Speaker 2: Like, oh a plus for sure, which is a kid
Speaker 2: in the hat, right right?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Well I had to go back after watching that and
Speaker 5: look at their draft tonight. I'm not going to say,
Speaker 5: but I was just like, you.
Speaker 1: Well, put it this, put it this way, norm you
Speaker 1: would not have given that draft an A plus, right,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
Speaker 5: I wouldn't grade it because it's it's not polite to
Speaker 5: talk bad of other people. And I'm not talking bad.
Speaker 5: I'm just saying I'm more self critical. I want to
Speaker 5: look at my team and say, how can I have
Speaker 5: done better? And I look at the people that drafted
Speaker 5: around me and who they took. I'm still stinging from
Speaker 5: the Tyler Warren pick. I even don't like the Dallas
Speaker 5: God pick, but I couldn't take him because I already
Speaker 5: had to some of the wides. I really wanted Jamison Williams,
Speaker 5: but it happened right before after my pick, and I'm
Speaker 5: kicking myself in some parts, but I'm also like, that's
Speaker 5: that's what this game is about.
Speaker 4: You have to make the picks that you need of
Speaker 4: who you want when you have the chance.
Speaker 2: Fanin was your five to eleven pick.
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams went at the six to soho one right
Speaker 1: right before you took sudd. So, I mean that's how
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. Sometimes that's the game. That is
Speaker 1: the game. And if you want to have more fun
Speaker 1: with games, check out FFPC player Wants, something we introduced
Speaker 1: this year. You versus eleven smart FFPCCPU squads. You can
Speaker 1: draft in in minutes. There's three different speeds you can
Speaker 1: draft at, slow, medium, and fast.
Speaker 2: Five got bucks is.
Speaker 1: Where it starts off, which I would encourage everybody to
Speaker 1: do it just for five bucks to try it out.
Speaker 1: You can draft all the way up to three hun
Speaker 1: and fifty dollars entry feet. You don't have to wait
Speaker 1: for the league to fill up. Once you register, you
Speaker 1: are drafting right away. FFPC player one available now my
Speaker 1: f fpc dot com. Norm I should ask you to
Speaker 1: I know we're focusing a lot on this draft, but
Speaker 1: you've been drafting throughout the summer. Has anything as far
Speaker 1: like trends or anything that you've noticed this year that
Speaker 1: perhaps you haven't noticed in previous years. One of the
Speaker 1: things that I always say is standing out to me
Speaker 1: this year is how deep quarterbacks are going, where you
Speaker 1: can wait and wait and wait and still get a
Speaker 1: pretty good quarterback, not only for your number one, but
Speaker 1: if you wait on that, you can get a really
Speaker 1: solid number two. I mean, obviously Jalen Hurts you took
Speaker 1: in the tenth round here you get them as QB eight.
Speaker 1: You feel pretty good about that. I would too, I'd
Speaker 1: love that value. Is there anything else that's standing out?
Speaker 1: Maybe the rise of running backs this year too.
Speaker 5: I'm still mired in Best Ball because we've been drafting
Speaker 5: since January and I've only done Best Ball. This was
Speaker 5: my first redraft and so I was glad to break
Speaker 5: the seal on it and get into the stuff.
Speaker 4: That matters to me.
Speaker 5: I'm a fan of Best Ball, but not as much
Speaker 5: as reed draft because you can fix mistakes and redraft
Speaker 5: you can fix issues whereas Best Ball.
Speaker 4: As we all know a set and forget it.
Speaker 5: But I too, have noticed the qbs are really being
Speaker 5: pushed down, and there's obvious reason for it. There's no
Speaker 5: real Once you get past Josh Allen, once you get
Speaker 5: past even the top tiers, Lamar Herbert, Trevor Lawrence, all
Speaker 5: those guys, those are going to be lumped and they're
Speaker 5: all being pushed down because of other positions being acquired
Speaker 5: first running backs is definitely the thing that I think
Speaker 5: everyone's focusing on.
Speaker 4: Again.
Speaker 5: I love that zero running back is kind of deceased
Speaker 5: now because I never liked zero running back as a format.
Speaker 4: But people are still trying to do it. I'm even
Speaker 4: trying to do it, but I don't feel comfortable. But
Speaker 4: that's again, that's best ball. I'm really eager to get
Speaker 4: more into redraft.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna probably partake as some of the baby guerrillas,
Speaker 5: although I can only manage so many teams. I'm wary
Speaker 5: of that because that really is a lot of time
Speaker 5: to dedicate to managing teams week over week when you
Speaker 5: have as many as we usually have.
Speaker 1: So I will say this too, if you are like Norman,
Speaker 1: you're more in the set and forget it. Allow me
Speaker 1: to introduce the FFPC Bestball Tournament one hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: five extenter four hundred thousand dollars grand prize.
Speaker 2: There. That's one hundred k more than.
Speaker 1: What we did last year, and the runner up is
Speaker 1: still getting one hundred thousand dollars. You can play live
Speaker 1: slow at my f alve and slow drafts my FFPC
Speaker 1: dot com and those norms. You know, I mean, you've
Speaker 1: been drafting Best Ball a summer. You know, there's no waivers,
Speaker 1: there's no lineup setting. It's it's perfect. You know, you
Speaker 1: get your drafting in UH and you still have a
Speaker 1: chance to win some serious money.
Speaker 2: It makes perfect sense.
Speaker 5: We're in a lower right now and drafting some of
Speaker 5: those just because we're waiting for training cap to kickoff.
Speaker 5: But we've been obviously doing it all along and looking
Speaker 5: at values moving up and down in the ADP, and
Speaker 5: it's it's always fun to look at that and then
Speaker 5: look back at what you've already drafted and say, oh, look,
Speaker 5: yes I lucked into that that it wasn't as valuable then,
Speaker 5: but is valuable now.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, so farrel.
Speaker 1: I want to I want to go to We'll just
Speaker 1: have time for one email tonight, but I want to.
Speaker 1: I want to throw it to you first. This is
Speaker 1: from UH. I got to bring it up on my
Speaker 1: screen here. I apologize guys from Larry and Houston, okay
Speaker 1: and normal, I'll have you attack this. After Farrell does,
Speaker 1: he writes how likely is Daniel Jones to resume his
Speaker 1: stellar performance before he went down with injury last season
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 2: Thank you?
Speaker 1: That is Larry in Houston. Now, if you remember, Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones had that Colts offense a hummin right, they make
Speaker 1: that trade for Sauce Gardner last year because it really
Speaker 1: seemed like they were going to make a deep run.
Speaker 1: They had one of the best offenses in the NFL,
Speaker 1: they had the best record in the NFL, and then
Speaker 1: it got so bad that they had to lure poor
Speaker 1: old Philip Rivers out of his retirement home to play
Speaker 1: quarterback for him to try to salvage a season spoiler.
Speaker 2: It did not work, and they did not make the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But and Jones obviously tour his achilles and that's why
Speaker 1: that's when sort of the offense really went down the tubes. Farrell,
Speaker 1: do you and I know Jones? It sounds like he's
Speaker 1: gonna be ready for Week one. You feel like this
Speaker 1: Colts offense, I mean, no Pittman, so maybe I'm asking
Speaker 1: the wrong guy. You feel like this Colts offense gets
Speaker 1: back to where they were, at least close to where
Speaker 1: they were, with playmakers like Taylor and and Alec Pierce
Speaker 1: who may or not be ready for Week one, and
Speaker 1: Josh Downs. What do you make of Daniel Jones and
Speaker 1: this Colts offense this year.
Speaker 2: Well, well, you were right. I was trying to pull
Speaker 2: up some per game stats for him last year because
Speaker 2: one of the things I noticed is is he has
Speaker 2: some peaks in some valleys. He can run a little bit,
Speaker 2: but not much. Uh. He had some really great highlight
Speaker 2: games Dolphins, Titans, Steelers, those were big games for him.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna follow the money on this one, and that
Speaker 2: is that contract extension was a beautiful contract for him.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna follow the money on this. I'm going to
Speaker 2: congratulate the Colts for finding their quarterback and and let's
Speaker 2: go forward with it. So I'm not with dynasty teams.
Speaker 2: He's a key. Yeah, I think he's a relatively bargain
Speaker 2: in redraft. I don't see any reason not to be
Speaker 2: in business with this player, and I don't see any
Speaker 2: reason not to have confidence at the other position players
Speaker 2: with the Colts. Will I try to target him, and
Speaker 2: will I try to go get him maybe a little more. Now,
Speaker 2: just as Norm was saying, I drafted a lot this spring,
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of him, maybe I will. I
Speaker 2: will redirect that now.
Speaker 1: I will say this, out of his first ten games,
Speaker 1: seven of them he had at least twenty.
Speaker 2: Points or more PC.
Speaker 1: Nine of them he had at least eighteen points or more.
Speaker 1: He had that clunker against the Rams in Week four,
Speaker 1: which I think you can forgive them, but then I
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, eighteen point sixty five, eighteen point
Speaker 1: one five, and then he had the two point four.
Speaker 1: I think it was Theo Greminger who brought this to
Speaker 1: my attention. This is much earlier in the offseason. That said,
Speaker 1: you know, if I know, a small sample, but if
Speaker 1: you look at those last two games, you can kind
Speaker 1: of squint and see, you know, maybe this is now
Speaker 1: the Daniel Jones that was crushing it at the first
Speaker 1: part of the season. Maybe this is Daniel Jones, you know,
Speaker 1: what we've been accustomed to over the course of his career.
Speaker 2: So there is something to be said for that as well.
Speaker 1: But normal I'll throw it to I mean, you drafted
Speaker 1: Josh Downs in this draft, and I know that's not
Speaker 1: necessarily a comment on Daniel Jones, but in some respects,
Speaker 1: maybe it is.
Speaker 5: The utilities there on Downs only because of Pittman's removal.
Speaker 5: And that's the thing that concerns me a little bit
Speaker 5: of Daniel Jones is that he lost to cog in
Speaker 5: what he had as an office. Ashton Dulan is not
Speaker 5: going to step up and replace Pittman. Tyler Warren is
Speaker 5: obviously going to be an asset forever now going forward.
Speaker 5: I don't want to man love on him, but he's
Speaker 5: definitely going to be the tight end of that team
Speaker 5: for a while of producing tight end, and Daniel Jones
Speaker 5: has familiarity with it now, even though he's been injured.
Speaker 5: Pierson downs are going to be one A, one B.
Speaker 5: I feel there's no one else really there to throw
Speaker 5: it to because Pittman's removal. So I am concerned about
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones. I have to fully admit on my entire
Speaker 5: spectrum of ownership, he is our number one QB.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 5: But now again, don't get that excited. That's usually where
Speaker 5: we're targeting him as our third QB.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we got And I like the way you've got
Speaker 2: piercing downs selected. And I think you know one A
Speaker 2: and you said one B, which means you kind of
Speaker 2: have them in a similar basket. And I think Pierce
Speaker 2: for fantasy's perspective now, perhaps later in the season and earlier,
Speaker 2: but I think Pierce is a league winner for you.
Speaker 2: I think that's his numbers are going to dwarf those
Speaker 2: of Downs one.
Speaker 5: The only thing that concerns me is the early off
Speaker 5: season where he had that injury or that that surgery
Speaker 5: to was his ankle, is his knee, I don't know,
Speaker 5: but it was enough to cause pause for me, because
Speaker 5: that always seems to be the the pinnacle part of
Speaker 5: drafting those receivers when I feel like they're equally valued.
Speaker 5: I agree with you, Pharaoh, though Pierce is the one A,
Speaker 5: Downs is the one B, but there's no one else
Speaker 5: there to replace the vacancy that is Pittman and likely
Speaker 5: will largely go to Tyler Warren. If they all can
Speaker 5: stay healthy, that should be good. But Daniel Jones should
Speaker 5: be a productive QB this year enough to warrant Larry's
Speaker 5: comfort with drafting him as a secondary or a third
Speaker 5: QB on his roster. To start with him would be
Speaker 5: would be scary.
Speaker 2: Hey, if he throws those numbers up that Balky was
Speaker 2: talking about, at least you've kept somebody else from having him.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's that's true as well. Guys, let me
Speaker 1: throw this at you. I just I just thought this up,
Speaker 1: and maybe this is way too out there. But Alec
Speaker 1: Pierce dealing with this ankle thing. He maybe he's not
Speaker 1: ready for training camp, maybe he starts off slow this season.
Speaker 1: Norm can you tell yourself a story where Josh Downs
Speaker 1: ends up being the Michael Pittman of this offense this
Speaker 1: year and Alec Pierce sort of goes back to his
Speaker 1: field flipper stretch role at least for the majority of
Speaker 1: the season. And then towards the end, when Pierce is
Speaker 1: back up and running full, you know, no problems with
Speaker 1: the ankle or whatever, and he's jumped aboard this moving
Speaker 1: train and he's ready, then we start to see the
Speaker 1: switch for Pierce, but it doesn't come till the end
Speaker 1: of the season. Can we can we tell ourselves a
Speaker 1: story where that happens, where actually Downs looks like this
Speaker 1: great value in drafts right now and Pierce just does
Speaker 1: what he did last year, which was pretty awesome, just
Speaker 1: wasn't not probably not the volume you're looking for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I would buy into that storyline. And they've
Speaker 5: got supportive people there. Like I said, Ashton Doolan is
Speaker 5: it can be a field stretcher. And I think even
Speaker 5: what Westbrook gy caen, he's player it came from Miami obviously,
Speaker 5: and he knows downfield. I'm actually more excited if if
Speaker 5: Alec Pearce is banged up in subpar that to what
Speaker 5: Tyler I really sound like. I'm a Tyler Warren fan,
Speaker 5: but I think.
Speaker 4: Well, I didn't get him, and it makes me mad.
Speaker 5: But Hammer's got so I guess I gotta just live
Speaker 5: with it and compete against it. But I think that's
Speaker 5: where that likely will go. And who knows, maybe even
Speaker 5: Taylor will start receiving some more love from out of
Speaker 5: the backfield to try and compliment the offense. But the
Speaker 5: only worry on Daniel Jones is is it is it
Speaker 5: Achilles going to be successful like it was for Aaron
Speaker 5: Rodgers or is it going to be for someone else
Speaker 5: who I don't even know all the people who have
Speaker 5: had Achilles tears, but there's a bunch out there that
Speaker 5: didn't come back.
Speaker 1: I think that the Colts offense in general, I mean,
Speaker 1: we just rattled pretty much everybody off.
Speaker 2: Taylor, Warren, Doolan, Westbrook, a Kine, Uh.
Speaker 1: Pierce Downs, all these guys are interesting when you consider
Speaker 1: what they mean in chop leagues too, which is something
Speaker 1: we introduced this year.
Speaker 2: Starting at thirty five bucks. They go up from there.
Speaker 1: Just don't be the last scoring team, lowest scoring team
Speaker 1: in your league on any given week, and then you'll
Speaker 1: win your league essentially. And by the way, you could
Speaker 1: register for those at my ffpc dot com. If you
Speaker 1: are eliminated, all those colts that you have on your team,
Speaker 1: they go back into the playerpool and anybody can bid
Speaker 1: on them. But norm I think this is interesting too
Speaker 1: when you when you consider this Colts offense, you don't
Speaker 1: want to suck in chop leagues at all. If you're
Speaker 1: fine with being a mediocre team, but you don't want
Speaker 1: to suck. And this Colts offense, we got to get
Speaker 1: it right and it's going to be interesting to see
Speaker 1: how it goes this year. To your point, might hinge
Speaker 1: on on how fast Jones bounces back from this torn achilles.
Speaker 5: Well, and from a chop perspective, I'd be worried because
Speaker 5: to start off the season at home against Baltimore and
Speaker 5: then at Kansas City on Sunday night and then at
Speaker 5: home against Houston, those three defenses are not slouty. So
Speaker 5: if there's any question about it, and you're doing it
Speaker 5: for depth only, because the end of the season is favorable.
Speaker 5: They have Tennessee, Cincinnati, Cleveland. I'd be okay with that
Speaker 5: if he survives, the Achilles survives and everyone is healthy.
Speaker 5: I actually think that's favorable for the higher stakes collapse
Speaker 5: and compete. It doesn't help you in week thirteen because
Speaker 5: that's their bye. But again, I like their schedule at
Speaker 5: the end season. I do not like indianapoles schedule in
Speaker 5: the beginning of season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes it tough getting out of the box,
Speaker 2: you know. And when you talk talk to me about drafting,
Speaker 2: Josh Downs, you know what I'm gonna talk to you
Speaker 2: about one Dale Robinson Robinson and you know, I really
Speaker 2: did like your grade to be minus. You know, my
Speaker 2: grades mostly are a gentleman's see. It's just like college.
Speaker 2: It's just you know, gentlemen's see. That's what I'm checking in.
Speaker 5: Well, and I'm go ahead, pair. I'm sorry I interrupted. No,
Speaker 5: I was gonna say. I wanted to ask you guys
Speaker 5: before the show ended, as how long is it going
Speaker 5: to be before where we see a feral GPT out
Speaker 5: there where players are drafting off hythm that's provided by
Speaker 5: Farrell that they when they come on this show to.
Speaker 4: Talk about why they pick what they picked. Well, that's
Speaker 4: what feral GPT said.
Speaker 5: I don't have any other substantial reasoning other than the
Speaker 5: fact that feral Gpt said this.
Speaker 2: I got a few, uh quality, I've got a few followers.
Speaker 2: Most of them are compensated royally for you know, uh,
Speaker 2: for sticking with my cheat sheets. So we'll we'll see. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that's awesome.
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward.
Speaker 2: And you know this Hammer, you know, Hammers obviously frustrated
Speaker 2: you a little bit in this draft. I will remind
Speaker 2: you if you want to get even with him and
Speaker 2: come on down here in Kentucky and sit next to so.
Speaker 4: Just again, I listen to you guys on Friday. That's
Speaker 4: what I was. I was logging that is, maybe I
Speaker 4: need to get down.
Speaker 2: To tell you you can give the Hammer a run
Speaker 2: for it.
Speaker 4: Mix it up.
Speaker 1: Uh, this this was so much fun. Norm at Amity
Speaker 1: hooks on the X is where to connect with you.
Speaker 1: You are transitioning from best ball into managed leagues here
Speaker 1: going forward. So we're very excited to see that. We're
Speaker 1: very excited to see I think, are you signed up
Speaker 1: for the August Rotoviz?
Speaker 5: I did, Yeah, I did, Okay, so always I don't
Speaker 5: always like to have my draft reviewed by you guys
Speaker 5: because it's not always positive. But I find it fun
Speaker 5: to get experts looking at what we did and give
Speaker 5: validity or at least thought provoking questions to what we're drafting.
Speaker 5: So I value what you guys provide, and that's why
Speaker 5: I always look for those drafts to try and get
Speaker 5: into them.
Speaker 1: Well, but I will say this, so basically, it is
Speaker 1: the first time when we do that show that is
Speaker 1: going to be I think August eleventh is that is
Speaker 1: that and it's a ten PM start. Mike Kuzma, who
Speaker 1: won the twenty sixteen Football Guys Players Championship. I asked
Speaker 1: him to be on the Roado his high stakes Lowdown
Speaker 1: on the eleventh, and he said, I'd love to, but
Speaker 1: can I can I critique a live draft? And I said, well,
Speaker 1: we've never done it on the lowdown before, but why
Speaker 1: the hell not.
Speaker 2: Let's do it.
Speaker 1: So because of Mike, I'm like, I'll put that out there,
Speaker 1: we'll get that filled up. Norm you're a part of it.
Speaker 1: So the two commentators you'll get that night will be
Speaker 1: me who cares, and then Mike Kuzma, a guy who
Speaker 1: won two hundred and fifty grand back in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: by winning the football And I remember too, not that
Speaker 1: anybody cares about this, but when Dave and I interviewed
Speaker 1: him after he won on the High Stakes Fantasy Football Hour,
Speaker 1: I was violently ill that night, so Dave basically had
Speaker 1: to carry the interview while I was in the bathroom
Speaker 1: throwing up, and so yeah, it was awful, and so
Speaker 1: Dave basically interviewed Mike and I had to go back
Speaker 1: and listen back to it. Even though I did the
Speaker 1: you know, ire prepped the whole show and everything, I couldn't.
Speaker 1: I couldn't stand up long enough to do the show.
Speaker 1: So Dave ended up interviewing Mike. But Mike's been on
Speaker 1: the show since then. He's an awesome guy. Very excited
Speaker 1: to have him on and and I'll send out the
Speaker 1: link too to that maybe we can have you pop
Speaker 1: on and make a pick live on the air.
Speaker 4: That'd be cool. Yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 5: I wanted to throw out there to you because I
Speaker 5: was I'm still a little back in twenty twenty one,
Speaker 5: I was on one of your HSFF videos on YouTube
Speaker 5: and won the league, and I always thought, wouldn't it
Speaker 5: be cool to have a reprisal somewhere after the season's
Speaker 5: kicked off or whatever, where you can start to say, Okay,
Speaker 5: we're not quite at the end, but let's let's have
Speaker 5: a review of what we reviewed and see who was
Speaker 5: right who is not.
Speaker 4: Necessarily who's right who's wrong.
Speaker 5: It's not that, it's just a matter of where were
Speaker 5: we all collectively right and where were we all collectively wrong?
Speaker 4: And yeah, who was ahead of the curve.
Speaker 5: I know it's tough for FFBC to do the historical
Speaker 5: look back, but I really think that would add value to.
Speaker 4: Some of what the fans the players would like to see.
Speaker 2: Is okay, I would love to see that, because we'll
Speaker 2: have some guys coming on with a one in ten
Speaker 2: and two nine team telling you how good their team is. Right, right, That's.
Speaker 5: Where I'm accepting of your gentleman's see because that's more
Speaker 5: than likely the reality. But I also know that that
Speaker 5: that's the stage where if I do better than that,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna look good.
Speaker 2: No, I was ra teams. I think your team's an
Speaker 2: A plus you can't get away with.
Speaker 5: But again, I'll I'll re say it that having a
Speaker 5: reprisal or having a redo of of that is rewarding,
Speaker 5: but it's also informational because then you've got as far
Speaker 5: as other than my own, uh, you know, either licking
Speaker 5: my wounds or celebrating for myself on the loan. It
Speaker 5: would be nice to have that other ability to say,
Speaker 5: this is where we were all right, this is where
Speaker 5: we are wrong.
Speaker 2: Get off my memory lane. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: That's something we all well, I'm gonna have to look
Speaker 1: at here and get that going. We can talk more
Speaker 1: about this, uh in Las Vegas this year when I
Speaker 1: see you at Planet Hollywood, and then obviously maybe maybe
Speaker 1: we'll get some we'll get some dates down and and
Speaker 1: book you back on the show to talk about this.
Speaker 1: When we are partying to Limp Biscuit in Louisville and
Speaker 1: September seventeen, we.
Speaker 2: Could go live from the from the Island Fair.
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm gonna tell you this right now. If the
Speaker 1: three of us show up to that concert together, there
Speaker 1: is no way that we don't make it on the
Speaker 1: big concert video video feed.
Speaker 2: Like the beard will lead, The beards will lead.
Speaker 5: You know, we have some great beerd I don't know
Speaker 5: that I carry that kind of social stature, but definitely.
Speaker 1: No, I'm telling you, it's the common it's the it's
Speaker 1: not any one of us, it's the combination of all
Speaker 1: three of us that would make it's like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we got to get these guys up there.
Speaker 2: This this would be fantastic. It takes all three of us.
Speaker 2: Two of us, doesn't legging the dream work.
Speaker 1: We're making the dream work, and and we'll make it happen.
Speaker 2: And I've never been to louder in life. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, most of my music concert choices revolve around
Speaker 2: Americana girls who have bruises on their legs from playing
Speaker 2: the tambourine. You know, I just you know, I just
Speaker 2: you know. Well, with you guys, I'm in good shape. Yes,
Speaker 2: olymp biscuit has breused. They have bruises on their legs
Speaker 2: for different reasons. Yeah, Mike, Mike, chemical romance is there.
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan Gerard Way, that's that's that's great stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, I would put up with nickelback if
Speaker 1: they tools, the tool will be there. That'll be cool
Speaker 1: out to that that that'd be great. Well, listen, we
Speaker 1: got plenty of time to prep for this, norm. I
Speaker 1: know you're prepping for more drafts and your drafts in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Thanks so much for being a part of
