Trades trades trades! What a doozy of week. If you aren't making moves, you aren't moving makes baby! Shray joins the pod and joins the hottest of seats. Jake has some spicy power rankings takes that we know FOR A FACT will have Schraff questioning everything - even his elite Brett Rypien trade.
Top dog Schraff (let's not get used to that title) joins the pod to absolutely thrash Johns' existence. Can you say new rivalry??? C'mon sound it out: noo rye-vul-ree. The league parity is at an all-time high - it truly feels like anyone can win this year. Except for Shawn. There's a better chance Steve actually drops Larry Rountree III than crowning Shawny boy.
Holy cowabunga - we are already a freaking quarter of the way into the season. I've so relished these first four weeks. I've also mustarded and ketchuped them. More fantastic football action coming our way. The league is wide, wide open right now. Will's team is faltering from root magic called upon by I root for injuries. The HATers finds themselves in unfamiliar territory but our very own Baltimore Ravens is breathing down his neck - a 1-2 matchup this week will prove which team is really really good and which team is Schraffs.
Get on up, it's draft szn!!
The matchups are set!!! Svec clinches the feared six seed and thus the championship - great season everyone. Shray seeks to rewrite the narrative and upset No. 6 Svec while underwhelming Schraff faces underwhelming Chris to round out the playoff bracket. Will and the commish rest easy knowing they're safe...for now.
Andy Dalton, you son of a gun, you finally made Nick Schraffenpants a happy man. Will this be the first time a Noah Fant chant is successfully executed? No, no it won't be because Jason Dobs hits the hay at 9:05pm.
Move moves moves!!! Buyers, sellers, stallers, sitters. Tune in for top-grade analysis of the trades that will reshape the league, forever.
The playoff picture is shaping up and Jason Dobkin has his eyes on the 1 seed. Look out world, injuries on top!
WE'RE BAAAAAAACK.
The league is hot!!! Shray is not!!! Just fantasy-wise cause man oh man he's scorchin' otherwise. Grant's team falters in a big way while RJ crossing the 100-point threshold is spoiled by a 60-point thrashing courtesy of ze commish. This pod features Jason Dobkin, our beloved voice of reason, and quite frankly if you don't enjoy each and every one of the 6,300 seconds of this episode than we don't want your ad revenue anyways!
Contenders contend and rebuilders do not. Schraff joins the set to discuss the state of the Mad HATters - a team devoid of running backs but yallah Justin Jefferson. This week featured no upsets as the top dogs found some pretty pavement and pastel fingie-dusters down in Lawrence Kansas for that Jayhawk rock chalk.
Who else is just loving Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays now? Oh and also Thursdays because hot content is droppin!! The pod is back with a guest who just can't seem to win despite consistently being heralded as an elite team. Poor management, injuries, underperforming - Shray, the storm is a brewin; what are you going to do to right the ship?
Football was hot out of the gate - with five (FIVE!) teams scoring over 156 points, led by the Commish himself, Mr. Yard Goat. Shray nabs the sole hockey point as he was victimized by Jakey's full-bodied, well-balanced attack, Schraff calls out sick to work on Tuesday after just a disgusting performance and Jason does what Jason does best: lose. What a week.
What else do you need to know? FOOTBALL IS BACK! The fellas are all tied for first and last place, and the league is abuzz with anticipation. Who else is planning to veg out on the couch all day Sunday (and Thursday + Monday nights of course)?!
Jason sells the farm but steals the draft. RJ finally gets Rapunzel and Svec strikes a deal with reigning champ. But not to bury the lede: PIPELINE FANTASY POD IS BACK AND FOOTBALL SEASON IS LIKE A MORPHED MUSHROOM: IT'S AMUNGUS (a fungus? I tried)
Ohhhh baby, Kincer and Will explode to cruise to the semis where they'll face off against well-rested big dawgs Gaines and Grant!!!
The brackets are set. (4) Will vs. (5) Steve and (3) Chris vs. (6) Kincer. (1) Commish and (2) Grant are waiting in the wings. Who ya got???
Will's back on the pod to talk his super sophisticated Word doc playoff scenario model. The penultimate regular season week cleared up nothing for the playoff seeding; it call comes down to Week 13.
TRADE DEADLINE SZN!!!!
New bits? You bet!
