This is Sam Macho and you're listening to old fashioned football. Facing football. You make this deal right now, you can't take any motherf*ck. Alright, deal! [MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome, welcome, welcome, wow, technical difficulties and voice difficulties. Welcome to Old Fashion Football. If you're running here, you're listening to this crazy guy who's a voice crack like I was going through puberty there. This is Jay Mark, you can find me on the exit, Jay Mark Football, and you can find us on the exit, Old Fashion FB. But who is this us I'm talking about before we talk about the AFC North? Got to bring in my co-host on the pod and in life you can find her on the exit, the Merk. Merk, how are you doing today? Good, it's been a crazy Monday, the drafts have started in the fishbowl. Yeah, yes. You're kicking off. Have you made only one pick so far or two? One. I'm coming back to me, but... Your selection in the Scott Fishbowl was for the 104. Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes. I had flashbacks to our listenerally drafting the homes, but here's available. That's fair. I went with CJ Stroud at the 106. We're in different divisions, obviously, but that's who was available. And yeah, I took him and then in the second it came back to me already. I took Puka, Puka Nakua. I really wanted a Monra St. Brown, even though he's a dirty lion, but he wasn't right before that, so it is what it is. And shout out to the chat, Whiskey Wanderer saying, "Woo, let's go." Always fresh, never soggy, "What's up, cereal?" Finally can catch a show. I know. He says, "Wish you were talking to NFC North, stocked up with some Rochon rookie cards." Well, those are useless since he's useless. Getting reports that your mic sounds weird. What is going on? I don't know. We definitely... I know what's going on. You're not plugged in. We're professionals over here. Who's job is this? Who's job is a plug in the mic? Have I ever plugged in my own mic? That was mine. What came unplugged there? That was something falling. That was me. That was my fault. I just moved from upstairs. I was downstairs because we had our niece and nephew. They slept in this room, so I did the CFO one downstairs. And yeah, so anyways. Sorry about that, everybody. Now you should be able to hear Miranda. Can someone confirm? Because I don't know if I trust my husband. You've been confirmed. You didn't miss much. She took my homes. She had flashbacks. She had flashbacks to our auction league. Yeah, we... Scott Fishbowl has kicked off drafting and... Yeah. Yeah, I'm about to come up on my second pick. I haven't checked somebody's taking. I'm not going to... It's a slow draft. It is a slow draft. It's been four hours since the last pick. There. I said it. I have somebody the same way, but he did... It's okay. He did a message. Yeah, I was going to say he messaged ahead of time saying he did not have access to his phone for work or during work, but he would try to sneak out and make the picks as it came. This is our seventh, eighth division previews. And we're talking an AFC North. Bangles, Ravens, Steelers, Browns. Yeah, the Browns, the toilet bowl. And we're going to bust through this because we got a CFO... Or I got a CFO game on podcast to hop on to right after this. Yeah, check out me in the Colby Dant on CFO gambling pod. But first, what are we drinking today? Well, before... Well, not before, but what we're drinking, you really confused me. I just plopped in here. Plopped? Plopped? I'd like to... I'd like to say office. Your nickname's going to be plopped. Anyways. I just got in here right as you click going live. Worked a little later than I intended. And you have these glasses stacked on top of our old fashions and I couldn't figure out for the life of me what I was looking at for a minute. It's our tasting glasses. Yeah. But it looked like, do we have some smoked drink here or something? I was like, "Where did you get these lids?" I was really confused. I was just keeping... I was running around. I was keeping these debris free while getting everything set up. I appreciate that. Yeah, that's what it was. Hey, this is old-fashioned football. But, you know, Sportscomming Podcast Network has a ton of shows. And right now, Moon Off the Machine Monge and Chris are getting you ready for the NFL season on the Propcast. They got episodes dedicated to season-long props and the awards market. Plus, check out CJ Sullivan and his road to $10 million on the bottom line bombs. Especially if you want some funny stuff and tune in whenever you get your podcasts or you can do it on the SGPN app. So, yeah, let's get ready to jump right into this and start with the quarterbacks. The most important position in football is what some say. There are rumors that they're going to start a separate cap just for quarterbacks. Now, they already get paid a million to millions of dollars. Yes, more than they need to. But, yeah, we'll see if that happens or not, I guess. All right. Well, let's get... Oh, what? Real quick. Just, I want to say hi to the chat because I'm falling behind. So, Mom and Dad pop in. Dad, hop in. Nick says, "What's up, cereal?" Also, he said hello to us. He spelled my name wrong, but, you know, anyways. And then Hunter making his first live show, "What's going on, Hunter?" Well, hello, welcome. All right, let's jump into these quarterbacks. Let's do. I'm just going to give you the data. Then we're going to talk about them. Let's do it. Let me give you the stats. We've got Joe Burrow for the Bengals. He averaged 15.3 points a game last season with one top five finish. He's currently going at an ADP of QB7 with an AAV of $9. For those of you just hearing us, AAV average auction value, ADP average draft position. Last year, he came in at QB25, but that's missing seven games. Yeah. Then we've got Lamar Jackson in this division who brought in 21.1 points per game. Six top five finishes. He's currently going at an ADP of QB4 with an AAV of $17. And last year, he came in at QB4. He's going exactly where he was. And your Scott Fish Bull draft was he was gone. Was he gone? Yeah. He wasn't mine as well. He was a third pick. He was fourth in mine. CMC went second. So I know we were looking at like who we had picked. And the quarterbacks went in the same order. Josh Allen, Jalen Hertz, Lamar Jackson. Mine just had the Christian McCaffrey thrown in there. But anyways, continue. All right. And then we've got Sean Watson, who averaged 15.1 points a game for fantasy points last season. With one top five finish, his current ADP is QB21 with an AAV of $2. And last year, he came in at QB35, missing 11 games. I mean, he was out pretty much the whole season. Yeah. Then we've also got this is the interesting team here. And I'm interested to see what happens with this team. We've got Russell Wilson, who has been stated to be the QB1 for the Steelers. They've also got Justin Fields, QB2. And I just can't see him being a backup for too long. I saw speaking of him. I saw some posts. Maybe it was on Twitter. I don't know. Shredded. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. He's actually been in the weight. Yes. So Russell Wilson averaged 17.9 points a game last season. And Fields was averaging 18.4. So we want Fields at that productivity level. Right. Even better. I think he has the potential to do better than that starting for these Steelers, in my opinion. But Russell Wilson had one top five finish, Fields had five top five finishes last season. Russell Wilson's going at an ADP of QB28 while Fields is going around QB30, both going for an AV of a dollar. And last year, Wilson was QB14 and Fields came in at QB18 missed five games. Yeah. And Wilson was benched for the last two games of the season. So let's flash back to Burrow, who's coming back from injury. He has been very good, like you mentioned the injury when he's healthy. Right. That's been the biggest issue. I think it is. Is he going to stay healthy? And I think if you're drafting him at his current ADP of QB7, you need him to stay healthy. Right. But that's just a big question. Is he going to be? Yeah. Sorry. Are you staying away from him? What are you doing there? I think I am. I just don't trust his health. I don't right now. Now the $9 is a little more interesting to me than the QB7 because if you get into that $7 or $9 range, I don't mind taking a risk there because I can make value up other places. But taking him as QB7, I just, in the end of this month and going into next, we'll be doing our top 12 lists. He is not that high on my list. I'll just throw that out now. I have to agree. All right. Great. So going back to Lamar Jackson, he didn't get as like, get much as far as upgrades in the passing game. However, I don't know if that matters. You know, he's got that such a high ceiling when it comes to like his rushing floor. And he's never had like a huge, I guess, fantasy output wide receiver and alpha wide receiver, minus is tied in Mark Andrews, who is still there. So yeah, I don't think it matters either. And, but a question I have here, though, is like, they just, they brought in Derek Henry. So is having Derek Henry in the backfield going to lead to more Lamar runs or less? Like, do you think that's going to take away? I either think it's going to hurt Derek Henry's like fantasy value, or it's something there's, I don't know. What do you, what do you see there? You know, I actually think it helps both of them a little bit. Now, one of them is going to have more rushing touchdowns. One of them is going to, and I think that'll be Derek Henry, but with Derek Henry being the beast that he is, even though he is a little older now, I do think that opens it up for Lamar Moore to kind of do your RPOs, where he fakes a hand off to Derek Henry, and then he takes off, or he throws it. And I think it really opens the offense more because nothing against Gus Edwards, JK Dobbins, you know, the revolution or the revolving door. I mean, of running backs they've had, but I think Derek Henry deserves more respect from the defense than those guys have. And so I think it might open that offense up more. If I can get him at QB4, I will. I would have drafted him if he was available in Scott Fishbowl. He wasn't just because that rushing floor. It's so good. The floor is so high. So the chat saying cereal does not trust the health of Joe Burrow. It's risky. Yeah. Agreed. Nick Fortune says Derek Henry, anytime touchdown seems like a lock every game. And cereal also says in Lamar Jackson, we trust. Let's talk about a guy that I don't trust. Deshawn. Yes, let's move to Deshawn. This is not the same Deshawn Watson who played for the Texans. Yeah, not even close. No, he can't perform at the same level after that trade and the suspension and everything going on with him. Much drama. Yeah, I'm not comfortable taking him at. I don't know. So like that's kind of you're looking in if you're in a super flex league. That's your QB2. Right. And I guess that's okay. Yeah, in a super flex. But for me personally, I'm just, I'm avoiding him at all costs. I don't trust Deshawn Watson. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets benched eventually, because I think he's that bad. I think he's fallen that far off from what he was crazy in the Texans. He looked so good. And then the trade happens, the suspension with all the drama and the accusations and everything. And he just doesn't look like the same quarterback anymore, in my opinion. I don't know. It was an interesting thing. We have a guest on Thursday, sports nonsense and whiskey. Those guys are going to be joining us. And I was listening to their take on Deshawn Watson and they're kind of the same thing. Like he was so good. But now you just can't trust him anymore. Now, let's talk about the Steelers situation with the Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. I know that they've said Russell Wilson is like their starter, but how long do you think that's going to last or do you think that Russell Wilson is going to do better on the Steelers than he did for the Broncos. I mean, if you look at everybody's shadow on him last year, and he still finished QB 14 in fantasy football. So he wasn't as bad as it looked. But I mean, Fields kind of has the same skill set, but he's faster and he moves much better. He's more ripped. He's more ripped. Murs got that screen padded. She's been looking at that one. I think Fields ends up being the guy, no matter what. It might not be game one, game two, but eventually like you have to think he's going to take that. Yeah, I think anyway, and maybe I'm just biased as a bear swing. I really had high hopes for Justin Fields. Sure. Yeah. I've said it way too many times. I'm a broken record at this point, but we were not using him to his ability, his rushing ability. We just weren't using him right. And do you think the Steelers are going to use him right? Yes, I do. I think he'll fit better in that offense. I do. I do. I think Mike Tomlin is an excellent coach. I mean, obviously, he's not had a losing season and a decade. And I don't think he's going to now. And I think he's going to be able to get the most out of Justin Fields or Russell Wilson, no matter who is starting, I guess. I'm comfortable drafting both of these guys. I was just going to ask you, what do you do? Like for a dollar in auction drafts? Like, do you just pick them both up for a dollar and then you've got both and whatever happens, you're covered? I think I would be nervous just to take Wilson. Right. Yeah, I think you want both because I do think, like I said, I think Wilson gets replaced eventually. But yeah, they got George Pick. Oh, go ahead. I was going to say, I think I either want both or I just want fields. Yeah. In case he sit him on your bench for a little bit, in my opinion. And then I think eventually he's going to be relevant on that team. Yeah, no, I agree. I mean, they got George Pickens, who's a dog. They got they drafted Roman Wilson. Pat Firemoo, still a very good tight end in my opinion, very reliable. They revamped the offensive line. Najee Harris and Jalen Warner, they're out of the backfield. I mean, I think this offense could surprise people. Now, I also felt that way last year. And I thought Kenny Pickett was going to take a step forward and he made me look like an ass. So maybe that's just wishful thinking. I'm not sure, but real quick. Best quarterback and best value. Best quarterback. Hands down the my Jackson. Agreed. Agreed. He's the best option here. Best value. I think, go ahead. I don't want to talk over you. No, go ahead. Who's your best value? I think for value, getting Wilson and Fields for a dollar is a really good value. But I like not as like your, this is who I'm relying on as my QB one. That makes sense. I'm going to go Joe Burrow at nine. Joe Burrow at nine. Not at QB seven. I'm not talking ADP, but best value. I just don't know if I want to spend. I think he, if he's healthy, he is one of the best quarterbacks. Yeah, I'm a gambler. You know that. Let's talk about something that you did. Yeah, I am going with that. Okay. We released a video today where I said life's a gamble. Do you want to share a thing? Well, sure things having fun time on underdog fantasy.

We haven't talked about Costco for a while. You were there and you brought it home one day for me so, which I'm always thankful for new bourbon. That's for sure. Yeah, I think it's good in the old fashion. No, it's good. You made a good old fashion. Did you make it regularly? Like a regular way? I did. My normal way. Nothing crazy in it. No, nothing crazy.

You've probably heard of those guys and enjoy some of the open bar events. I love an open bar at the greatest sports book in the world, August 22 through the 24th. All right, let's talk about these running backs. Now, I just wanted to, we need to shout out to the circa, of course, which we need to get to the stadium swim, the giant TVs, all the sports. And open bar talk about love. Anyway, I've got nothing for you Justin. I can't. You'd enjoy it as well. This running back division is interesting to me for a couple different reasons. The first one, Zach Moss, who was a cult. Now is a bengal. No more Joe mixing, which is weird to me. It is. But yeah, let's talk about Zach Moss a little bit. Yeah, he brought in 11.2 points per game last season with one top five finish. His current ADP is RB 25 with an AAV of $14. Last year, he came in at RB 29. So he's moved up four spots. But again, last year, like he played most of the season behind Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I mean, Taylor was out the first four weeks and had some injuries here and there, but. He's weird to me. He only went up four spots from where he finished to his AAVP now that he's going to be the starter. Mm hmm. This one is. Yeah. And they, they also, the bengals have their rookie from last year. Yeah, Chase Brown. Chase Brown, who I'm a big fan of. But reports are still saying Moss will be the lead back. But let's just talk about this right now. I think $14 is a good deal. And I like my RB 25. I would draft him higher than that. Thoughts? Yeah, I think his AAV. I really like. Yeah. $14 for a starting running back is a really good deal. I mean, this is a guy he did have a top five finish. His top five finish was actually the first week that Jonathan Taylor was back. So, I mean, this is a guy that can have success even when he is competing with others for carries. So, yeah, that's my thoughts on him. We've also got Derek Henry, who we already briefly talked about, but last season he brought in 13.7 points the game with four top five finishes. He's currently going at an AAVP of RB 10 with an AAV of $36. Last year, he was RB eight. And this is, this is the best offense he's been on. I agree. I mean, the best, yeah, best fit for him for sure because they loved her on the ball. Yes. And yeah, they're definitely the Ravens are definitely a run heavy team. And the only thing is like, I mean, teams are going to have to account for Lamar too. Yeah. Yeah. And that should help Henry. I also think I know it should like his kind of what you said, but I still kind of. You worry about them putting into each other's workload kind of because the Ravens previously, let's just say it. Lamar was there. Yeah. Was there RB one and they're keeping right? Yeah, true. That's true. I just, I think Henry's a better caliber guy than what they've had there. I think, and they paid him a decent amount for an older back that I think they want to use him. And they don't care if they run him to death this year because the deal was two years, I believe, but most of it was front loaded. So that's going to be interesting. And they're a rookie from last year, Keith Mitchell, not going to be ready for training camp. So if he's not ready at the start of the season, Henry really doesn't have a little calm. It'll just be him and Lamar, like you said. What do you feel? I mean, we talked last year, he was at $50 last year, I believe, as an AAV. And we said, this is the last year, he will be $50. And yeah, he's currently going for $36. He's on a better offense. I think there's. Is that too much for you? I'm looking up his age real quick. Yeah, we want to know how old is he? He seems like he's been around forever, but how old is he? Well, well, you're not quick enough for me. Um, and then RB 10. Yeah, that's what I'm not sure on. You're not sure at RB 10. I like my RB 10 personally. It's not me that's not quick. It's my phone. Apparently going a little slow here. He's 30. See, that's pushing it, isn't it? Yeah, for somebody who has been run so hard. Yeah, no, that's a good point, but I still like it. I think he's going to have a really good year. We'll see. No, he's going to have a good year. Like, okay. Top 12. Top 12, but not top. You wouldn't take me down. So he might fall to 11 to 12 in years. But, um, what about the AAV 36? I like it. I do think I like that. Especially in a standard league. This is a guy that in a standard league where you kind of chase touchdowns. I think you go after Derek Henry for sure. I know not a lot of leagues are standard scoring anymore. PPR have PPR is where it's at, but in a standard league, I think Henry for sure is going to do well. Let's talk about Najee Harris. He averaged 10.6 points a game last season. Didn't have any top five finishes. His ADP is what he came in at RB last year, RB 20 with an AAV of $15. This is a, I mean, this offensive line. It's had improvements. Najee is still the lead guy, but they do have Jalen Warren. Yeah. Yeah. No, they, they added some, some big beefy guys on that front line. Like I think Tomlin wants to run the ball, which is also why I think fields fits better. Exactly. That's my thing. Yeah. Um, here's what's tough for me. I have drafted Najee Harris highly. Um, the past two years, and it's bit me in the ass. So it's hard for me to want to draft him again. But RB 20, I like it. I think he finishes better than last year. I think the Steelers in general do better. I think they're going to have more competent quarterback play, no matter who's starting. And, um, yeah. And then for $15, I'm okay taking that risk. And this is another one where the price point is okay for me. Um, seeing him as like your RB two, you're going to have him as your RB two. Yeah. 10.6 points a game. That's, that's decent. It is. I like to see more. But I guess it's. Well, we all do, but if I told, if I had a dollar every time she'd tell me that, um, shout out to the chat, Mike, checking and saying Vikings rule Viking is the only team with purple that will win this year Super Bowl. Skoll. I go hard. Go bears, Mike. No, I'm just kidding. Thanks for checking into the chat. Welcome. And if Najee splits carries, always fresh, never soggy cereal says he might have to sell as Najee rookie cards. So there you go. I want to talk about Jalen Warren here too, because he's not going far off of that RB 20. He's currently going at RB 26. Mm hmm. So Najee Harris brought in that 10 around 10 and a half points a game last season. Jalen Warren was almost 10 points a game. 9.8. And he had a top five finish. We're Najee didn't. True. And his AAV is only $11. I think I'll have to look it up. But I think his top five finish was when Najee Harris was out. So there is that. Okay. But, um, I'm okay getting him to it. If I miss out on Najee Harris, spending a little less money waiting a little longer to draft a running back. I mean, even at a flex piece RB 26 would be a flex in a 12 team league. Um, 9.8 game for a flex piece. I'm okay with that. I think Najee ends up taking it back though. I think he has the bulk of the carries. That's just my opinion this year. And there's a lot more. I just wanted to talk about this again because you've got them where they. They're pretty, they're pretty close there, you know, and you have if. Fields does take that starting position. You've got another runner. Yeah. No, I agreed. Yeah, that's true. Fields could take some of that production from them. For sure. 70 people 71 people watch and make sure you give us a thumbs up share it with your friends like follow all that good stuff. It helps us out. Let's talk about this last running back. Chub chub, which is confusing. Not not that a chub is confusing. But I'm like, where are you going? Yeah, no, just. What he's I mean, I know he got injured last year. Bad injury. Not really been much injury news. It's been weird. It's almost like they're keeping it secret. Yeah, because he had an ACL tear. Yeah, which makes me wonder, you know, this is a second time he's torn that same leg to, I believe. That's awful. Yeah. Will he bounce back and be the same running back? Probably not. But is he still a very talented dude? Yeah. So, I don't know, why don't we go through? I mean, there's not much to say about his last year. He had two games. He tore it in the second game. And I also give you the average because I have a stat with those two games, even though he tore it in that second 10 points points the game. But right now he's going at an ADP of RB 39 with an AV of $13. That tells me he, I mean, they don't think he'll be ready to start the season and drum forward. That tells me people are hesitant about it. It tells me people are like wary of him. Yeah. That doesn't mean, I don't know. Now, in my opinion, he's still pretty young. He's a very talented guy, even if he's on the short term IR and he doesn't play until let's say week five, week six. That's huge value. If he comes back and is still a pretty good runner, not very much affected by. So you're going to draft him for a potential for later. Yeah. As long as they don't play him right away and ruin it for everybody. Yeah. At RB 39, for sure. I've picked him up and it's kind of best ball draft because he's targeting on those. So on those in those drafts, are you targeting Jerome Ford too? No, I haven't. I've just chub up thinking, you know what, when he comes back, he's going to be good. That's kind of been my thought. He's gone so late in best ball draft. So probably go late and then it's got fishbowl draft. So let's watch for that. Yeah. And Jerome Ford, just to bring him up, he's currently going at an ADP of RB 36. There was, I got on Jerome Ford wagon for like a moment and hopped right off. I didn't like the inconsistency from him. So I'm hoping then like that job is healthy. And like you said, maybe the short term IR and then hits the field and is solid. I remember that he was all the rave because they're like, well, Chub went down and he had a hundred and some yards. Well, he had like 13 carries for, I think, I don't know, a hundred and some yards, but 87 yards of that was one run. I know average 2.6. I know it. And so rest of the carries. It looks like impressive. And it was exciting. But without a big play, he just, he wasn't. Yeah, it was nothing. All right, best running back. I'm going to lead if you don't mind. I'm going to say Derek Henry. I don't think you can put anybody else in this. Well, I have like some, you know, I don't know if it's hesitancy. I agree with you. I agree with you. There's no hesitancy over the best. Yeah, running back. Is he the best value? Maybe not. But is he the best running back when you stack him up against these guys? Yes. What about to get a top 12 running back for $36 and you're looking at like spending. I guess about half of that. If you go into the RB2 range. Yeah. I don't know. I'm still doing it. No, I am. I'm debating value here. Yeah. Who's the best value? Who do you see as the best value? Best value. I'm sorry. I thought we had moved on. So I didn't realize. I like Zach Moss. $14 RB 25, but a guy that's going to get a crack at the starting job on a good bangles offense. But you could get currently RB 26 for 11. Right. Warren. I just, I trust Zach Moss to do better than Jalen Warren. And I do think there's too many runners on the sealers team right now. If, if. Can you say Russell Wilson can't run? Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Just one, but yeah. All right. Fair enough. That's fair. Before we talk about wide receivers, I want to let you know about rhythm.

Well, he is getting a little old. I know. I just want to clarify. I was like, oh, I said, no, and that's going to come back to bite me. Somebody's going to. Somebody is. I'll call myself out. That's fair. That's fair. Let's talk about the wide receivers. You want me to start? You want to start? Let's start with Jamar Chase. All right. He averaged 13.3 points a game last season had one top five finish. He's currently going at an ADP of wide receiver three. Last year, he came in at wide receiver 13. And his current AAV is $42. This is a guy that to me, if you don't think Baro can say healthy, you stay away from Chase, right? Yeah, because I feel like his success is dependent on that. He's still one of the top wide receivers in the league. We saw Baro get injured last year and Chase went from being a top five guy to wide receiver 13. Yeah. That's still good. But do you want to spend $42 for that? No. And he's not my wide receiver three either. Is he in the top 10? Yes. But is he's top three? No. Spoiler alert. What about you? I agree with you. Maybe top 12. Not. Not my top three. No, there's too much. There's a lot of risk there. There's going to be risk everywhere. Yeah. In fantasy football, there's is. But we did see. Like we saw his success is tied to Baro's health. Yeah, for sure. And Mr. Fortune checking in saying he wouldn't spend $42 on Chase. That price point is way too high for me. Yeah. Without a sure thing. Yeah. No, I agree. I agree. Let's talk about his counterpart, the guy on the other side. T Higgins. T Higgins, who I thought was going to be not a bangle. He didn't want to sign his franchise tag. Thought about he requested a trade. Now he did say he will play on the tag. But we'll see. Yeah. He averaged 9.7 points a game last season with one top five finish, currently going at that wide receiver 29 spot with an AV of $18. And last year, he missed five games. So because of that, he came at wide receiver 49. And like you said, we kind of thought he was going to hold out. Yeah. Yeah. This is very discounted compared to Chase. Should he be? I mean, you're looking at less than four points a game. So obviously Chase is scoring more, but four points a game. They both had the same amount of top five finishes with having the same, you know, Jake Browning was throwing to them after Burrow went down. I think I'd rather spend the 18 on T Higgins than spend 42 on March, Ace. I think I'd rather take that risk, take him as the second or even third. He's going wide receiver 29. That's your third wide receiver. I feel very comfortable having him as I like that area. Yeah. I, if he's my third wide receiver, I'm, I'm very happy with it. The 18 is a little too high for you. I think. No, I don't think it is. Okay. You seem hesitant at first. I'm just. Yeah. Let's, let's move on to the Ravens. Um, we've got Zayflowers averaging 10.5 points a game with one top five finish. His current ADP right now is wide receiver 25 with an AV of $18. And last year he came in at that wide receiver 29 spot. Um, you know, we, we talked about. Derek Henry, we're, we just, you can't, I don't think you can talk about the Ravens. I thought talking about Derek Henry. No. No, he's going to change your identity a little bit. I mean, this team has improved the run game by adding Derek, which should. In turn, kind of open up the past game. When I think of the Ravens, I don't think of a. I pass happy offense. I don't. They say, Oh, Lamar's going to throw it more. And we're like, no, he's not. And he doesn't. And he doesn't. Yes. So, but Zayflowers, he did have a decent year last year. Yeah. And. It looks like I think it's possible he continues to build on that and get better. Yeah. Going up four spots to wide receiver 25 from where he finished last year. I'm, I'm fine taking him there. That's the, the high end of your wide receiver three. Um, so yeah, I'm definitely fine with that. This, this division is interesting. We got wide receiver for ADP this year, 29, 25, 27 and 26. So we got a lot of mediocre, I guess I would put that wide receivers. People, they think you're going to be mediocre. What do you think about wide receiver 25? Like, do you see him? I'm good with him there. Is that too high for him? I don't think it's too high. I think I would rather spend $18 on T Higgins. Those are the same AAV right now. Right. I think I'm fine drafting. Either of these guys has my third wide receiver, which would be wide receiver 25 and on. But I'm not, I would rather spend $18 on T Higgins and Zayflowers. You're on the fence. I'm on the fence. Yeah. Make a decision right now. I think I'm on the fence. All right. I think if, if Zayflowers really could finish there, I would rather take him. Yeah. That's the better value. Yeah. No, I guess that makes sense. Um, $18 for ADP wide receiver 25 or wide receiver 29. Or this next guy, $18 for ADP of, um, wide receiver 27. George Pickens. George Pickens. To finish around the same, pretty much same average as Zayflowers, 0.1 point less average per game at 10.4. He had two top five finishes, um, finishes wide receiver 26. He's going at an a, a, um, ADP of wide receiver 27 with an AAV of 18. By the way, Nick is on to you. He says you're not giving out your true opinion on T Higgins because you want him on your team. You know what? I don't like people in our league. I know and I don't like it because I being the only female in most of our leagues. In all of our leagues. Yeah. In all of them. We don't do the, you haven't done the fun league in a while. We need to bring the fun league to our college, our college league. Um, you get very good. I don't want them to think I'm a dumb girl. No, what I was going, what? What I was going to say is that I get picked on. Yeah. I get bit up for being a dumb girl. No, I'm just kidding. Oh my God. You're sleeping on the couch. I knew that was coming. I will choose their recliner instead. No. No, no, I don't like to. Yes, because I know, especially I know that he's on listening. Anything I say I want, he's going to go. So I'm going to, I can't give out the wrong advice. I won't do it. So George Pickens, though, I'll for receiver. Mm hmm. He's got Wilson or fields throwing to him, which I think people are a little worried about. But he had Kenny Pickett last year. I mean, it's got to be better than Kenny Pickett. He has an upgrade. Yeah. Either way, it's an upgrade from where he was last year. Right. Um. No, I'm, I'm fine drafting him at wide receiver 27 and also I'd spend the 18 on him. If I had to rank these three. Exactly. Let's do this. Zayflowers, George Pickens and T Higgins. Who are you taking over? Who are taking one, two, and three. Pickens Higgins flowers because I got a wide receiver one and Pickens. I got T Higgins, who I think has a better passing offense than Zayflowers. You've got a then flowers who there are run first offense and he competes with Mark Andrews for targets. So I know Mark Andrews is really. That's the Ravens pass catcher you want. Yeah, it is. Oh, I don't want to agree with you. Don't change it up. I, I'm kind of T Higgins and Zayflowers. I'm kind of in between. Okay. But I think I would take pickens for both. Yeah. There's more potential upside there. Yeah. They also drafted Roman Wilson, who he's going for a dollar that to me is a name to watch. For just a dollar. He take a fire on him. Yeah, because they, they, they're going to have to throw it to more people than just George Pickens. And I think that guy's going to be Roman Wilson. Let's talk about Cleveland, who to Sean Watson, Cooper. Yeah. My pooper. The Browns. Okay. Now we're changing 12 points. Seven points a game with one top five finish. I just can't do this with you. He's going for a current ADP of wide receiver 26. Look at like 25, 26, 27, 29 and another $18. $18. Apparently this is his last on my list. Yeah. Last year though he, he finished as wide receiver 18 last year. And again, this is another wide receiver whose success is dependent on his quarterback. So I think his success is dependent on Watson's. It's interesting to me that he finished wide receiver 18 last year. And now he's going as wide receiver 26. Yeah. That says a lot. Like he went back almost 10 spots. Yeah, I just, I think people are losing faith in the Browns. And it's not because they have Jerry Judy. No, no, I don't think that's why either. I think people are just losing faith in the Browns and they're losing faith into Sean Watson. He can't stay healthy. And when he's on the field, he's not very good. That's what I think it is. Cooper's last my list of $18. So Pickens Higgins flowers Cooper. Pickens flowers Higgins Cooper. Pickens flowers Higgins Cooper for you. She made a decision. Cereal point out that Cooper was Watson's boy. I agree. But I just think that Watson's at a stage where he's so inconsistent that I don't trust his receivers either. So best. Gotta be Jamar Chase. I mean, yeah. Even though like we see that success tied to burrow. It's clear. No, none of these other wide receivers are a top 12. Right. And he's still wide receiver 13 after missing game and having no burrow. So still good. Just not as good as when burrow is there. Remember, they are college teammates or were college teammates of value. Who you like? I mean, it's $18 guys. It's gotta be Pickens. I agree. I agree. Unless I know we didn't talk about Roman Wilson, but him for a dollar. I kind of like that. He's a flyer. That's like, get him for a dollar, but value. Yeah. Where you're starting these guys. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you're gonna talk about these guys. Go ahead and go through the tight ends while I pour this. We're jumping. We're moving along here. All right. We are. You're like, let's pick it up. All right. Tight ends. Mark Andrews got to talk about who I feel is the top here. I'm just gonna say that already bottles on your shelves. They grab the wrong one. Let's make sure we're reviewing the correct one, Justin. You can't have two bills. I thought it was open. Mark Andrews finished as Titan 13 last year, but he missed seven games. He averaged 11 points. Three points a game with three top five finishes for the game. She was here. His current ADP is Titan four with an AV of $26 with Mark Andrews. I mean, they have Isaiah likely, but he is still a top contributor. We just said a little bit ago. He's really like their wide receiver one. Like he's their target. He is Jackson's go to. Yeah. I mean, to me, it speaks volume. The fact that he missed seven games and so was Titan 13. I mean, that's how good he is 11.3 a game. There were only four other tight ends that scored higher than 11.3 a game. I mean, I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to get him to the top. I'm gonna be able to get him to the top. I'm gonna be able to get him to the top. I'm gonna be able to get him to the top. I'm gonna be able to get him to the top. I wouldn't say it's getting crowded at the top. There's still only like four or five top tight ends. And I don't just don't know if he's there because you've got like La Porta. You've got Kelsey. You've got. I still think Hockinson deserves to be up there. Once he's on the field. Yeah, because he is gonna miss the first at least six or seven games. But no, I agree. I mark Andrews is not my Titan four and $26 is too much for him, even though I do think he's very good. I'm in a league that you can keep three players. And I could keep Mark Andrews as my seventh rounder, or I could keep Sam La Porta as my 13th rounder. Guess which one I'm doing. You're keeping La Porta. Keep in La Porta. Good decision. Our D did poke a little, little fun at me for. You're gonna be the first person that keeps two tight ends in our league. And I thought about it because you can sort of tight end in the flex but but I think Mark Andrews even in that seventh round is too high right now. Actually, no, there's six round. That's just too high for me right now. Nick asking if there's any concern about likely. No, I think they're going to continue to run some two tight end sets. I think likely we'll get. But he's not going to finish it. He's not going to be tight in four or five or six. Well, he's not going to eat too much into the world. No, yeah, we're talking about you've got you have to invest in the top. But Mark Andrews is not in your top. Not the top like targets, but. Tier one guys. He's in tier two. Yeah, I think three. Yeah, he's in my tier two. Probably towards the bottom of it. But he's in there. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Nijoku is. Going sorry. David Nijoku. I've moved on. That's all right. He's going. Currently with an ADP of Titan 10 for 17 dollars for the whiskey. And now she's like, I'm just ready to get to the whiskey average 10 points of game last season coming in at Titan six. He had four top five finishes all in weeks, 14 through 17. So he had a strong end of season. He is somebody who is not as affected. When wants when Watson went out, wants and wants and wants and whiskey. Yeah, no, yeah, no, I agree. So he finished Titan six. He had top five finishes in four weeks, all weeks, four. All right, it was all in weeks 14 through 17. So it was all together where he was on this hot streak. But Titan 10 makes me feel like he's maybe a little undervalued and underrated right now. Potentially. I think he's definitely a top 10 tight end because we did see that he was a little bit quarterback proof right no matter who was there. He still did 10 points a game. And I don't, for me, I don't view him as 10th. I don't, I think he's top 10, but I don't put him at 10. I put him a little bit higher. So I think at Titan 10. He's a little undervalued. Normally, do not say good things about David and Joku, or any Browns players. I'm normally out on them. But I think I'm okay drafting them at Titan eight. Nine, Titan nine. Possibly. Now we don't really need it. I don't feel like I really need to bring stats for Ghisicki. Yeah, I agree. Real quick. serial point out those are games with Joe fucking Flacco. They sure were, which I mean, yeah, he made the Titan look good. There you go. They'd no longer not with that together. Yeah. But yeah, that they were when you know that that's really those four weeks are what boosted his Titan ranking. True. Yeah, that had a lot to do with it. He's still averaged 10 a game, but I know he had some really high. Those games make his average go higher. What do you think it averages? Get out of here. I let's move on. Why don't we remove Joe Flacco's and see the relevant to this offense this year. And let's look at his stats that. What do you think it averages and pals? I agree, Mike, Ghisicki's irrelevant. I don't know. Yeah, we don't need to dive into that. But because I mean, you're not drafting firm with his eight. No, I'm currently going a Titan 15 with an AB of $4. I would not be $4 for him. He's a dollar guy, in my opinion. I'd pay a dollar for a backup tight end for Pat Firemouth. I would not want him to be with or be in my top 12 tight ends. No, no, absolutely not. But at Titan 15, I'm okay with it. I would draft him. You know, if I'm looking for a backup tight end and 14 others are off the board, I'm perfectly happy with Pat Firemouth. But yeah, that's, I mean, I don't think we need to dive into him too much. I agree. Just that he's, I think, overvalued in auction, but valued properly and standard. Yes, I think the Titans, you're really looking at here, Mark Andrews and Najoku. Yeah, who I would take Andrews over. I would take Mark Andrews that's top but Najoku is the value. I disagree. Andrews is your value as well. If I have to get Mark Andrews, I'm going to pay money. All right, that's fair. That's fair. Like if, if every, if all my other options are done, I'm paying money. So if the top three guys are gone, you're paying for Andrews. Top four. Top four. TBD on who her top four are. That's, that's it for the fantasy football. Let's talk a little whiskey and then we'll talk some a lock and a dog for this division. Now we're going to do it a little different where I'm going to talk about the whiskey. Yes. So together a history. Yeah, you get to sniffing in a taste and I get to sniff and taste. Yeah. And I'm going to talk about this, a heaven hill bottle and bond, but let's talk about the distillery at first located in downtown Louisville, heaven hills, burnheim distillery is world's largest independent family owned bourbon distillery. They produce 1300 barrels a day and can produce 400,000 barrels annually. And they use the same traditional methods as they did in their very first plant, the heaven hill Springs distillery in Bardstown, Kentucky, which will get to that in a second of why they're not there anymore. But to start with the history of this distillery, we need to jump all the way back to 1935 when the facility was founded by the Shapiro brothers. The original distillery was built on an acreage in Bardstown owned by a man named William heaven Hill. Now, according to Max Shapiro, one of the brothers, the story of how Mr. Heaven Hills. Name was divided into its current form of heaven space hill. It was a typographical error made on the paperwork. They were told it would cost $10 to get it corrected. And remember, this was around the depression and they were like, nah, it's fine. Let's keep it as is. The wood frame distillery used coal to heat their boiler, which cooked its meshes and sent steam through an all copper column still. The first barrels were filled on December 13, 1935, where they remained for four years and were released as old heaven Hill bottles and bond bourbon. Now, at the very beginning, members of the Jim beam bourbon making family oversaw the distillation process. In 1935, Joe and Harry beam brought their knowledge to help get them started. And in 1946, Ed Shapiro decided to sign Earl beam to the job of heaven Hill master distiller. He was there for 29 years, which is something I read about and Fred knows book that I read. And he really helped kind of shape heaven Hill to what it is now. He retired in 1975 and his son Parker beam took over. So the beams very heavily involved in heaven Hill distillery. He spent the next several decades creating other whiskeys we've talked about, such as Elijah Craig and singer about single barrel and long age releases of Evan Williams. If you've listened to us before, you know, I love some Evan Williams bottle and bond. In 1996, though, the distillery faced a huge setback, a cold front raced across central Kentucky, Kentucky early in the morning and brought on big storms. Suddenly, an employee was reporting smoke coming from the warehouse one. Distillery supervisor Charlie Downs and Parker beam over to the warehouse and immediately ordered an evacuation by the time they get everything turned off. There was a river of flaming whiskey spilling everywhere, including over the highway and toward the distillery. That would be a sight to see a river of flaming whiskey. Sad, but it would be something to see. Then all these these winds 70 mile an hour winds picked up and pretty soon some of the Rick houses were on fire firefighters were doing their best to stop the fire, but they could barely keep the ones that weren't on fire they could barely keep them cool. Because just everything was the heat was just so much and then barrels began exploding, which sent flame spreading. And by evening of that day, the distillery and seven Rick houses were destroyed or still on fire to assume that lightning caused this, but it was never confirmed. Nobody saw lightning strike. Nobody saw what caused it, but it did happen during the storm, but it did happen during the storm. That's why that's assumed they ended up losing 92,000 barrels. Interesting. They called all the workers and most of them. They already did the math. They saw the damage. They knew they were getting fired, but they were told nobody would lose their job. And I think that's really cool that they, they, they honored their, their workers. They know that you're really important. We're not going to leave you to hang and dry out, you know, and this is what I love about whiskey. It brings people together. We talk about that all the time over the next few days. Shapiro took calls from competitors who could have just said, Hey, now we don't got to compete with them. But he took calls from competitors asking what they could do to help the distillery stay on its feet, which included helping Heaven help produce its signature mash bill to be aged in their own barrels and Rick houses. And over the next several years, multiple companies would help Heaven Hill distill its spirits. I think that's really cool. Because in a doggy dog world, it would have been very easy to be like, that sucks, you know, but they came together. The other big mishap here or big deal was in order to make the bourbon, they needed their Heaven Hill yeast. The entire supply of yeast was a recipe that had been handed down for generations and fermented the first back in 1935. And guess where it was kept, the distillery, which had just been badly burned, but it was not completely destroyed. So Downs and beam run at a bucket left to see if they could get to the fifth floor yeast refrigerator. And they were able to, and they opened it up and boom. Sure enough, there it was unharmed and even still cold. This is, you know, refrigerators these days would not have done this. They don't build them like they used to people. It was still cold. In 1999, they bought their current distillery in Burnheim from distillers United because they had weighed like, do we rebuild? Do we buy a different distillery? The distillers United one happened to come to sale and they bought it remodeled to fit their needs and they've been growing and growing their output since then. So let's talk about what we're drinking today, which is the Heaven Hill bottle and bottle. Now, Heaven Hill makes a lot of whiskey, including Henry McKenna, Burnheim Original, Rittenhouse Rye, which we've tasted or, I mean, reviewed on the show, Larceny, Old Fitzgerald, Pikesville Rye, Elijah Craig, Evan Williams, Mellow Corn, which I keep hearing a lot about. We need to get that sometime. And Heaven Hill products, such as the bottle and bond, the bottle and bond pay tribute to the earliest days of the distillery history, which back in 1939, they released their first bottle and bond, like we said. And that's why they continue to make this. It's still kind of the same recipe and everything too. And it meets the exact standards set forth in the bottle and bond act in 1897. The only difference is they used to age of four years. Now they age is seven. This did just win double gold at the San Francisco World Sports Competition. Yeah. The bottle and bond. So let's do a little tasting notes. Have you smelled and tasted? Smelled corn. It's interesting because normally like a bourbon. I smell caramel. I know normally I smell caramel-ish stuff, because I said mellow corn. No, this is before. I was trying to, and it doesn't taste sweet to me. I think something's off. I have horrible allergies right now. I've taken. Maybe that's why. I think so. I woke up so stuffy and I've taken allergy medicine today and everything, but I still feel, I don't know, just bothered by it. Bathered by allergies after spending all weekend outside in the heat. We did spend a lot of time in the heat yesterday. I get caramel and vanilla. I don't know. I don't get a lot of corn, but this burned my lips when I first. It's still burning my lips. Are they chapped? I think they're some burn. Okay. I mean, it does have some heat. It does. It packs the heat. I think my tasters are off. I do. I get- It's still relying on me. I think so, because I smell like I just get corn off the smell. Like I smell the corn from the bourbon, and it has a more grainy taste to me. I think my tasters are off. I thought the old fashion was really good, but now maybe it wasn't. Because my tasters are off. Maybe you didn't make it correctly. Thanks. I was complimenting you, but maybe I'm taking it back now. No, I get caramel and it's got to- I get zero caramel. That's why I don't think I'm tasting this correctly. I think my- The texture is spot on. It's not light. It's not too heavy. No, I can tell it has a little on the heavy side. Do you think? It's not watery. No, it's not watery. A little heavier. A little heavier, but not in a bad way. If you swirled around, you can see the legs, which is more of a wine term I know, but you can still see it. No, it's like still running down my glass from earlier. Mm-hmm. So, yeah, it's thick. It's a thick whiskey. Thick. I get caramel vanilla. You're not getting the right stuff. That's okay. I'm not. You'll have to do a review later. Because I'm getting the greens and alcohol. I'm not getting the right taste. It doesn't taste like bourbon to me. It's just why I think something's off with me. It's something definitely off. She said it folks, not me. There is something off with you. No, I think it's really good. I like it. I can see why it wins a lot of awards. Just maybe not when you have allergies. Okay. This is even drinking hotter than 100 proof to me. And I know. I think we talked about this recently. I'm starting to like the higher than 100. Yeah. And the drinks hotter to me than that. Like, I think something's off with me. So please disregard my review. My review is what I'm tasting, but it's not right. You told your cousin that you liked like a 120 proof whiskey and he about losses shit. He did. What? Well, when you taste a lot of different whiskeys, you develop a palette for good stuff. Right. Yeah. I want to answer a couple questions before we get to our lock and dog bets. Serial asking, what are we hearing about Roma Dunes? Are they going to give Caleb a full plate this year? And he might have to swap out his bagent rookies for Caleb. I definitely would do that. I don't think a special agent agent is going to have much effect. I think the Caleb Williams, Roma Dunes a connection is going to be the strongest on the team. I know they're going to have the chemistry and yeah, they're both the young guys in the room. They, I mean, we saw day one before they were even drafted together. They were tweeting at each other and stuff. I mean, I think these are guys that are going to work well together. They're excited to work together. And don't forget Roma Dunes a led the NCAA and 20 plus yard passes. He's a field stretcher. I think he's going to do very well. Men Hunter asking if Eric all from tight end, you Iowa. Barely. He transferred and was barely there, but I'll give you a he was Iowa tight end. Does he have any value this year? I don't think this year, but dynasty wise, I have been picking him up here and there. I think he could be a guy that if he stays healthy, that's been his biggest thing in college was health. So I think if he stays healthy, he could, he could make an impact for sure. Yeah, dynasty. Yeah, dynasty for sure. You got to love a good tight end for Iowa. Well, tight end you. Yeah, for sure. Should we talk about our best bets? Yes, I'm going to give you my lock. All right. And I feel like my lock is one of the easiest bets on the board. Okay. Baltimore, what Ravens to win the AFC North is currently at plus 130. And the Bengals are right behind them, but I don't think the Bengals are as good as I think the Ravens will be and win the division again. I like that. I agree with it too. For me, it goes Ravens, Bengals, Steelers, Browns. That's how I think the division goes. Yeah. And that kind of goes along with my lock. The Browns being at the bottom, people growing. How dare you? Sorry to my Cleveland Brown fan co-workers who we have several or I have several. Oh, yeah, you do too. Live in Cleveland. They like the Browns, but my lock is Cleveland Browns to miss the playoffs. Yes, their defense is good. But I think the offense is in trouble. Watson's declining. Chub may not open the season healthy. And I just think they're a mess. I don't think they do. They do. I wouldn't be surprised. Like I said, if they finish last on their division and if they do that. They don't make the playoffs. You only pay the juice. If you lose, as Cody Z would say, Cleveland Browns to miss the playoffs at minus 185. I know it's juiced, but I feel good about it. Yeah. All right. Dog bets. Yeah. I'm going to give out a little defensive bet for my dog. Defensive player of the year. He's currently the favorite, but still a plus 550 bet. TJ Watts to win defensive player of the year who is a dog. And listen, like he has health concerns, but when he's on the field, he is one of the best headdressers in the league. Yeah. So if the Steelers struggle on offense, their defense will be on the field a lot, which means more opportunities for a lot. Yeah. And if you, I mean, relating that to fantasy football, if you're in an IDP league, you want to have TJ Watt. I, one of our keeper league, or a keeper league that I was in, used to have an IDP spot. Just one of them. And I had TJ Watts, I remember, and he was only healthy for half the year. And he's still finished in like top five for fantasy points, even though he only played half the season. I like that bet. I definitely think if he's healthy, it's his to lose for sure. My dog bet is going to seem a little crazy, but give me the most regular season rushing touchdowns to be Derek Henry. This Ravens team, as we said, likes to run the ball. I think they're going to be better than the Tennessee teams he's played with. And I think they brought him in to just smash the ball at the goal line. He's the second favorite right now, but still at plus 650. Give me Henry to have something right around the 18 rushing touchdowns. He had the most in 2019 was 16 and 2020 was 17. Other recent winners, Jonathan Taylor won it in 2021 with 18. Your guy, Jamal Williams won it in 2022 with 17. And last year it was Rahim Mostert with 18. Jamal Williams definitely isn't getting back there. I don't think Rahim Mostert is. He was exciting for me for that year. But that was it. He's still going to be my guy because he saved me a lot. He was good. Jonathan Taylor, he could have a really good year, but I think Derek Henry is going to have more touchdowns because I think Anthony Richardson will also run a lot. The favorite right now is Christian McCaffrey and I love Christian McCaffrey, but I don't think he's going to lead the league in rushing touchdowns. He's such a dual threat guy that they get him involved. Even from the five yard line, those swing passes and he gets the passing touchdown. So I don't think he's getting 18. I think Derek Henry will lead the league plus 650. Book it. Book it. You heard it. Do you have anything else to add on the AFC North on the whiskey on the bets? No, I, we keep talking about like our rankings, which we're going to bring out, but I really think that a lot can change. I like to do mine. Closer. I also think a lot can change. Closer to my blessings from Miranda. All right. Shut up. What's wrong with you? Don't be dissing me. All right. Anyways, what were you saying? You're sleeping outside on the recliner. You've been demoted from the couch. At least the weather's nice. It's going to rain tonight. Okay. I don't remember what I was saying before that. A lot can change in your line. I really want to, I need to reassess like rankings once we make it through, finish out our division previews and then get a little bit closer, which just preview. I mean, next or Thursday, this Thursday, we have sports nonsense and whiskey joining us to talk about the AFC West. I had to think there. AFC West. Next week, we have Dylan Carney, Distiller from Savage and Cook. I'm very excited. It'll be our first live Distiller interview. I mean, we've had Dylan on the show. He's welcome on our show anytime and we're excited to have him again. He's awesome, dude. Awesome. And he makes him great whiskey. Absolutely. He knows what he's doing. Yeah. So tune in then so you can ask him some questions because he's going to be answering some questions from the chat. Talking about their new offerings that they have, some bottle and bond products. Some great things over there at Savage and Cook. They are very exciting stuff for them. And then the week after that, so that would be like July 24, 25th, we're going to have a special guest talking about IFL bets because the playoffs are coming up. And he knows his IFL and we don't. So he's going to be schooling us on the indoor football league, which I know Kobe Dan was saying football is not meant to be played outdoors. Miranda, do you have anything else you'd like to add? No. My old fashioned is gone going once, going twice. Sold. [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC] [MUSIC]
