Brian and Matt preview the last week of the season, discuss the possible outcomes, and whether teams are being affected by sit-outs and NFL playoff scenarios.  Then they spend some time talking about the best and worst picks at each position.  Finally, they wrap it up with a discussion about how dumb Mark's end of season trades were.

Matt is joined by a very unique and special guest to talk about the impressions an 11 year old has of fantasy football and the Sunday Funday Football League.

Brian and Matt recap the unforgettable 2024 SCA Christmas Concert, discuss the standings and playoff scenarios as we head into the last three weeks (everyone is still alive), break down the boom or bust QB draft picks this year, then settle into the Merv Griffin Show set to see if someone stops by... and someone did!

Feeling guilty about the lack of recent pods and finding some time to do it, Brian and Matt get together having done ZERO research, planning, or pre-podcast discussion to ramble for an hour about fantasy and non-fantasy.  Enjoy!

The boys are joined by Gorlock the Destroyer to find out what has gone wrong with his 0-5 squad.  They get his side of the story on the two pre-keeper trades he made, why he kept who he kept, and whether he had any strategy heading into the draft.  And why would it be Jordan Love?  Later the guys look at BomBers surplus at QB and whether he should really be looking to trade one of them, discuss which team is scariest right now, talk parity, and go over a wild waiver wire Wednesday.  After the fantasy talk dies down, Gorlock Destroys something, and the guys give their picks for what they are watching on TV and Movies.  Enjoy.

Matt and Brian add some pepper to the meal and talk about Pat's early season results, his 10 keepers, how that affected his draft strategy, and whether his planned strategy came to be.  Then the boys talk about Mark Andrews, Paw's early season dominance, injuries, today's adds/drops, and a check in on each team.

Week 1 is in the books.  Brian and Matt overreact and discuss week 1 takeaways, surprises, disappointments, and more.  Then we all find out why Matt spent that much money on J.K. Dobbins - or listen to him try and convince himself.

We discuss where things stand - Playoff scenarios, end of season schedules, points against, good picks, bad picks, favorite Christmas movies... and maybe a special guest.
