Join us as we, alongside our ever-entertaining buddy Scott the Functional Alcoholic, navigate through our upcoming draft, discuss potential roster changes, and plan a fun-filled weekend at The Grand Cedar Resort in Reno, Nevada. We unwrap the thrilling new change to our draft date - now on a Friday, freeing up our Saturday for a whole day at the resort’s pool!
We don’t just talk about football and fun, though. We also share some personal stories – from my adventures in teaching to a minor scuffle in the parking lot that resulted in a lost tooth! We also get serious as we take a hard look at the Napa Prime team. Analyzing strengths and weaknesses, we dissect players from Aaron Rodgers to Deshaun Watson, highlighting gems like Cortland Sullivan and Cam Makers.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Slinging Sammy's Fantasy Football Podcast. I'm Chris and I'm here with. Well, will you introduce yourself a friend?
Speaker 2:I am apparently Scott the functional alcoholic, and I'm doing great. And what's your name?
Speaker 1:again, I'm Chris the old, the old or old, which means old is old and so quick Scottish term is old.
Speaker 2:Does old equal? Old Is like old, like enzyme, does that?
Speaker 1:work Does that come from?
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:Exactly what?
Speaker 2:it is.
Speaker 1:It's how to be old, and I'm good at that.
Speaker 2:It's a completely different language. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1:It is. It does mean old, and that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2:Okay, so you're old. That means old, so sad, so sad, but you're so young and hard.
Speaker 1:I'm glad to be able to pass on this knowledge to my younger co-heart here. Actually you're older, but that's okay. Younger at heart. I'm going to bring the time when you used to make fun of me when I was like, still 20 and you were well over 21 at the time and now I get to make fun of you for the rest of my life because you are the older jib.
Speaker 2:You're trying to take the piss out of me, are you? Yeah, that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:So, scott, you said that there's also we might have a special guest appearance today. Do you know who that is?
Speaker 2:by I don't know. I don't know. We'll see if we have a special guest appearance. I think the guest appearance may come when we're going through the people's rosters. I think that's probably going to be the appropriate time. Oh okay, we'll see if the weasel comes out of the hole.
Speaker 1:No, scott, you are doing a. What six week challenge?
Speaker 2:Yeah, doing a six week challenge through my gym it's called results transformation here in Sparks, nevada. Basically, if I lose 10 pounds, go to least 20 workouts and do 20 social media posts within six weeks, then I'm eligible for fabulous prizes and some value. I don't know what it is. It's not really about the prizes, it's really about just the challenge and trying to do stuff. So I'm in week five of that Right around 10 pounds down right now. I hope they really kick it into gear and get another few pounds so I don't have to worry and fret when I step on the official scale. But so far, so good.
Speaker 1:So we are actually having our fantasy football draft next week. What are your words of wisdom for those that are trying to lose weight during fantasy football weekend?
Speaker 2:Oh fuck it, Don't even try. Maybe try some of that dip and see if it maybe causes you to. Maybe that's a tip. Drink a lot and throw up.
Speaker 1:Or drink a lot, go to Johnny Rockets, and then it's a natural projection.
Speaker 2:That's like fire coming out of your throat. Johnny Rockets, the triple cheeseburger oh my God. A chocolate shake, oh, that goes well with like 18 whiskies.
Speaker 1:It's good for the reference. We're talking about Dave Drawling right now.
Speaker 2:You were all bad that one night we went there. That was a bad decision. Thankfully, we've upgraded our places to go eat. Right Now we're going to sushi or we're getting the rim done.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the trim or rim. So we'll be much better. Actually, we haven't decided on the food stuff, but we'll go to David's Grill at the golf place on Thursday. For those that don't know, we have a weekend plan, GS Lovely Grand Cedar Resort here in Reno, Nevada. We're going to do some golf on Thursday. Some of us will be going out there. We'll probably have David's Grill, which is out there. Nice place, nice bar. There's probably some swanky music going on On Thursday or Friday. We'll be hitting some breweries around town, some distilleries, places like that, and we'll actually be moved in a monumental change. Those of you fans who will be out there you know changing your draft date is like in the draft time it's almost the same every year, by clock or even if it's for a long time. We actually were able to move heaven and earth and move our draft to Friday night. Isn't that incredible, Chris?
Speaker 1:Oh, it's absolutely incredible. And what was the driving force behind us doing that?
Speaker 2:The driving force was a couple things, A couple things. It was going to be tough on Travis' schedule, it was going to be tough on a few, but the biggest thing was the fact that we loved hanging out at the pool and we loved to push the draft at time on Saturday because we're having a little too much fun at the pool and so this year we get to be pool all day Saturday and it's going to be epic and fun and I hope nobody throws up for peeping the pool yeah and I'm really surprised because, like the whole region, I even threw it out there was for Travis to, you know, to satisfy Travis, but on a selfish purpose of like being able to have that Saturday at the pool.
Speaker 1:But you know, like, for those that are going to be at the draft, that's not really that big of a deal in some senses, other than tradition and just getting away from the norm. It was for those of you that couldn't make the draft, that's going to be a little more difficult for, and my biggest concern was Mikey. But Mikey was on board and I'm like sweet Brett was on board, he actually said it was better, and Travis, of course, was the one we're doing it for. So it worked out really well and all of a sudden all the stars aligned and we were able to pull it off.
Speaker 2:I'm so happy you were able to satisfy Travis. Good job we did satisfy him.
Speaker 1:We usually get the presidential suite for us. I mean, there is that little thing that we're going to have to downgrade this year a little bit on is our suite. Is just what a normal suite, or is it like? What do you call it? Not the presidential?
Speaker 2:but, yeah, junior suite or something like the one with the joining rooms in the middle, yeah, so, yeah, I forget.
Speaker 1:Well, plenty of room, but we just want to have that big joining room. We might have to shuffle around how we get everybody plugged in. We need to bring a couple extension power cords even. Oh, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2:Good, good idea. Mental note We'll see if I remember it in a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm going to do it. But yeah, yeah, shout out to Travis. You've done so much great things for us the last several years Getting the great place for us to be playing some awesome music, making sure we get a good speaker in there, you know, stocking the thing with alcohol, so, and then obviously helping us get in the cabana, and just you know.
Speaker 1:Well, I think, if he all honest, you know, if Travis isn't showing up, he should at least be, for, you know, during Saturday, don't you think so?
Speaker 2:Oh, absolutely, yeah, yeah, and we just put it on the the, the Woodard's tab.
Speaker 1:Right, you put it on his tab.
Speaker 2:Who knows guy. He said it was okay, just you know, put it on his tab, put it on his tab.
Speaker 1:He don't care, here's his number.
Speaker 2:Gonna stick sandwich and a stick sandwich and just put it on the Woodard's tab. Yeah, so that would be key and crucial. So, but otherwise, big news for you First day of school, first day back in the old, the old teaching, the old teaching game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so as a first day back kids, they all had the deer in the headlights, look on their faces, and you know the first three days are usually so simple because the most of them are too fearful to even, like, speak up. I asked like, is there any questions that you guys have? And you could just see dead silence. You can hear a pen drop at that moment. Give it a week and then they'll be back in Roar and back to their Rembuck just ways, and that's when the real teaching starts. But it was a good first day, so it's good to be back in the classroom. A lot, of, a lot of crazy stuff happening in our school this year. Class size reductions caused us to lose teachers, which now they're going to try to get some teachers teach 120%, which is just a lack of better terms, just not a very good situation right now. But we'll get it all worked out.
Speaker 2:So I'm really shocked that there's no questions, nobody's, nobody's, nobody. Like pointed out the the tooth, like where's your tooth?
Speaker 1:Yes, the tooth is missing and the tooth will be replaced actually in a couple weeks, which I'm possibly on the outside chance. I have it ready for the draft and those of you know I got my tooth knocked out and I've got an implant in, at least in terms of I have to wait for it to heal before they can screw the actual tooth in.
Speaker 2:And who knocked that tooth out? What human being or I was?
Speaker 1:defending a woman in the parking lot who?
Speaker 2:was oh, no, no, no, no, no, no no no so.
Speaker 1:I had to protect the person and the guy was hitting her. He turned around to hit me with a crowbar.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I was lucky to get him off and throw him near to the side and take care of him when the police came, but I lost my tooth in the process.
Speaker 2:What genus of the nut family was the one that actually broke your tooth?
Speaker 1:An almond, but it was the almond that was thrown at me.
Speaker 2:I was thrown at you, Perfectly hit your tooth and like, oh my, I can't believe an almond would knock it out. Well, you know, it's a super almond.
Speaker 1:So you know I'm into the crowbar. Those are the two problems.
Speaker 2:It is a power food or whatever, like that or whatever.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's not a pleasant thing. However, when you do see me in public, I do actually wear a uh with a retainer that has a fake tooth in there for now.
Speaker 1:So ah okay, okay, that's what I teach with that. The only problem with a retainer it makes me a little bit if I start speaking up and that makes it really tough. So that's why you always have to see me without it, because otherwise they'll be on this podcast. A little bit of a lift and it makes it hard for me to talk like that, you know. Suffering stuck a patch. Yeah, anyways, I think we digress on a lot of different unimportant, useless information for people listening to us. Where do we have them? Sure for us today?
Speaker 2:on the actual meat of our content, Well, I think we're going to talk about just an important deadline, just to everybody's reminded of what's going on, and then we're going to talk about, uh, resume, completing the, looking at the keepers, and then we'll see what we have left from there. So do a little last cleaning, but something to start. We have some important dates coming up, and what are these important dates? These important dates are keepers. So in our league you're allowed to keep three players. Uh, well, as long as they're eligible. So after you can keep a player for up to three years, after that you have to let them go. But, uh, but if they're you only have for a year or two, you can keep them again. Their salary goes up $3 plus 10% of their salary. So, um, yeah, so by Wednesday, wednesday evening, 1130 pm Pacific time, or whatever, whatever I said 11 pm Pacific time, you need to have your keepers in. So keepers are in. You don't have them, you're screwed, you're getting zero, you're getting zilch, you're getting not screwed.
Speaker 1:Maybe you're starting to scratch.
Speaker 2:You start from? Yeah, exactly, you start, which in some cases is a good thing.
Speaker 1:So, uh, and so, as we looked at some of the teams last week, it might be a good thing, exactly.
Speaker 2:So that's the first thing, and then, of course, the draft has been as we said. It's been moved to Friday, 6 pm Pacific Pacific time, 7 pm Mountain Standard Time. For Mikey there in Salt Lake City Actually, sarah took a springs so 6 pm Pacific time. So be there or be dead.
Speaker 1:Right on your own, All right.
Speaker 2:So I thought you were going what are you? Real quick, we were able to ask what are you drinking?
Speaker 1:I am drinking a double IPA through Heretic Brewery in Fairfield, california. It is called the Evil Cousin, one of my favorites. It's a very good IPA, which so one of my favorites Also on my tap, so that's the reason why I like it.
Speaker 2:Okay, okay, okay, nice, and I'm drinking a shit Cabernet.
Speaker 1:So and that's part of your challenges to not drink what I'm drinking, but to drink what you're drinking.
Speaker 2:Yes, I've only had two. I've only had, as I mentioned last week, I had a couple years of beer and that was only the second beers I had since I've been on the challenge so and I don't plan to have another beer until the end.
Speaker 1:I did have an earlier beer at the golf course, with meeting with my coaches and we had Hen House, which is have you had an Hen House before?
Speaker 2:I've had one or two of the beers. They do sell them up here in a couple of places.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and there it's a Newbury right across street, basically Longanese and Petaluma. But I actually like Hen House a lot more than Longanese beers.
Speaker 2:Okay, I still haven't been there, so I still, but it was the time we did go there. There was another place there across the street north of something about 101 North or something like that, or I forget what it was called.
Speaker 1:Yes, I think it was called. I remember it. Yeah yeah, no, the Hen House is well. Longanese is obviously a much better. It's a really cool place to hang out if you want to listen to music. It's got a bigger venue. It's outside. It's more of a kind of just a relaxed kind of like a beer garden, essentially where Hen House is more of a brewery style, just like you're inside a big warehouse. But I just feel like there are beers a lot better than Longanese beer overall.
Speaker 2:You know my favorite brewery in the world, right.
Speaker 1:Revision.
Speaker 2:No, my favorite brewery that I've been to is Longanese in Chicago.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:That's my favorite brewery that I've ever visited. I mean, again, I'm a mile fan. I'm like I don't love them, I don't hate them. I'm like kind of in the middle, like I love them much more this year in Nevada, yeah, but yeah, the one in Chicago is epic, so it's just.
Speaker 1:Was it epic because of the ambience, or was it epic?
Speaker 2:for the beer More of the ambience, more of the ambience.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and that's the one here in Petaluma would be. The ambience is a lot better than Hen House, but if I just look at the beer straight up, I can't have it better.
Speaker 2:I will say Longanese is my favorite micro brewery.
Speaker 1:Sorry, it's my favorite.
Speaker 2:of the micro breweries that are big, it's my favorite.
Speaker 1:No, that makes sense and I can understand that and I agree with that too.
Speaker 2:I like them. I mean, still I like a lot too, but I'm okay. Firehouse, firestone Walker, which I got to visit too, was pretty good too, and I'm just not a big steering Nevada guy anymore, so it's just yeah. Anyways, breweries drafts. So 6pm on Friday, keepers in by Wednesday and 11 o'clock Pacific time, and those are the big announcements.
Speaker 1:Sweet. Well, thank you for those announcements. Let's digress to fantasy football information. We looked at I believe and correct me if I'm wrong we looked at the Northfell Wine'singers last week. We looked at Santa Rosa Shakers. We skipped over the Mustang Rangers for today and we looked over Alabama's Slammars and Philly Fasatac. Does that seem right on your agenda?
Speaker 2:That seems that's exactly it so.
Speaker 1:And that leads us to start off with the Napa Prime. So give me some information about the Napa Prime. What do you see here, who are players that they have, and what information can you divulge to me at this moment?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean you have some star players on their team. I mean you look at Aaron Rodgers, christian McCaffrey, nick Chubb. You got Mike Evans. You know stud player, you know, maybe some of those their time is past. You got Travis Kelsey. So a lot of really good players, so good backups, really You're stocked. The quarterback, deshott, watson, tua and Rodgers, as mentioned. You got three solid running backs from McCaffrey, chubb and Acres, really good, looking good. And as far as wide receivers, yeah, mike Evans, Kirk solid. Don't have a ton on the bench, I would say, besides the quarterbacks, although Cortland Sullivan actually what we should talk about. He looks like he's been impressed in camp and you know there's a whole new lease on life as far as Denver is concerned, because it's concerned. So a good balance. Ropher roster you know number one tight end, you know solid supporting cast, especially at running back. So it's a really good team that that did win the championship last year. When you look at the roster, it's kind of easy to see why.
Speaker 1:Oh, definitely, he's got a great roster. As you speak, he was always running on the top scores, him and Dale, I think were the two probably top squares. But I can remember correctly and I do like his team, Like he says, definitely stacked it. Sorry, quarterback, Definitely target running back At least top two. Camp makers you can make an argument for didn't do much for him, but at the same time you know well. Let me ask this question Do you think camp makers last year was just recovering or do you was an anomaly year? Do you see upside this year compared to what he did last year or do you see him? He's already peaked, unfortunately because of injuries?
Speaker 2:But first off, I forgot that I was talking about Brett Steven. Sorry about that. I just saw the nap and I flashed to you.
Speaker 1:So first again.
Speaker 2:But no, I think, I think. I think camp makers can still do well. The problem with game makers, I think, is they. They ran some of a horrible offensive line. They have an aging quarterback who you don't know if it's going to be able to sustain, you know, 16 games at all, but he's going to be the guy. I don't. They don't really have anybody challenging him, so I don't see any reason why he can't continue to do well again.
Speaker 1:I like it. Yeah, I can see that and he was very talented, I would say like it was running backs. One of the biggest situations that gets under value, I guess, is that that is that offensive line. I mean you could take a undrafted free agent running back and look like an amazing running back because he's got a great offensive line. You can take someone camp anchors, who's got a ton of talent, with no line and he's going to be dropped to the backbill before he can even get started. You know a lot of running backs. They run downhill Like they need a little bit of momentum to get going before they can break some tackles in space, because if you're getting stopped in the backbill you have no momentum. You know you're not going anywhere.
Speaker 2:Right, absolutely, absolutely so. So I think it's it's. It's. I mean I see him kind of middle of the road. I mean he's a starter, so that's good. I mean you want that he could be probably potentially the bell cow there. You know where does that term come from? That's, you know, I think he's, I mean 20 is 20 ish probably ranked. I don't know what the rankings are, but I'd probably put him somewhere around there 2025, something like that.
Speaker 1:That's fair. I would have to kind of look over my my. You know I would see us to the rankings, but that I mean that seems legitimate, what you would use, and I'm trying to look over the ESPN website where they have him ranked at this point. But I say it's not going very well.
Speaker 2:The fans of football index has them at 17 for what it's worth, 17 if you want to help?
Speaker 1:Yeah, thank you. So that seems about right, you know, and so like it's a worthy keep if that's what you're looking for. Having said that, looking at his roster, I kind of know who he's keeping. He kind of told me but who do you think he's going to keep, or who would you keep?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so yeah, I think just start with the money right. So you look at Christian McCaffrey $63. Now Christian McCaffrey is potentially the number one running back. You know, would you keep him that? I mean I could see McCaffrey going for $63, but I think it's hard to keep a player at that price. You just got to throw him back in and see and see what happens.
Speaker 2:Nick Chubb a 36 is still also not a bad deal, but you know, I don't know. I mean that's actually could be a really good year for Nick Chubb. He doesn't have a hunt in Vulture anymore. And like another high price player, just Travis Kelsey $37. You know he's still the number one tied in. Probably would still will be, but that still seems pretty high. Probably want to jump back into the water. So, at least for me. So I put campmakers in there. I strongly consider Nick Chubb, even at $36. I think that's still probably a pretty good price. And then you got to look at, you know, the other players around there. Do you like any of the quarterbacks? I don't know. I think I like those two guys. I'm intrigued by Cortland Sutton, you know, just because he's gotten good, a good report right now. But what do you think, and maybe I'm way up. I feel like I'm probably way up base.
Speaker 1:Well, I don't think you're going to be wrong. I mean, what place I would push back on what you were saying is I would maybe push back on Travis Kelsey right now $37. I think he's going to go in the sixties at this point because Travis Kelsey, if you look at his numbers and what he's projected to be, I think at him being the top maybe, and this is being very we thought just very how was word? Basically Some people have ranked in the top three In all fantasy football. You know, top 10.
Speaker 1:Saying he's in the top 10 I think is a very conservative as well, trying to work for it and all I could come with the term. But it looks like a very conservative approach if I say he's gonna be a top 10 player and that's just without considering the fact that he's at a tight end position. He's just gonna be a top 10 player period and of course there's a lot of assumption that he's gonna see healthy the ages and catch up to him. I don't think any of those things will do that to Travis Kelsey. This year he has taken a lot of balls and a lot of hits. He's, you know, caught a lot of balls.
Speaker 1:So there there could be some regression or definitely say a little bit, but 37 dollars I would say in the drafts he could probably go into the 60s thinking you got a top 10 player and Then at the tight end position of all places that puts a premium and puts them on almost like a step above those top 10 players because he's at a premium position that you're just not gonna find that kind of quality them and so like what I think of 37 dollars as much as I hate to say it because I want him to throw him back in the polls, I can, I can draft him. I Think it's an amazing deal.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I, I'm worried. I mean it's it's not a valid word necessarily, but I'm just worried about his age. He's 34 years old. You know, I mean you can't necessarily go forever, although kind of seems one of those positions, like you tend to go a little bit long. We're surprised because you got a block and catch and get hit. It's kind of surprising that some of the some players you know Tony Gonzalez, last at a long time and Antonio Gates, last at a long time, you know some of the big studs there, but I mean, eventually your body's got to break down a little bit right it's. I mean it's got a got to hit a point. But of course we didn't necessarily see the last year we saw the number one tied in by a pretty wide margin. So but I think, I mean I think guys like Hawkinson Andrews, I think they're starting to creep up a little bit more on him. So I Least. For me it's too rich, I would not, I would not go that high on him.
Speaker 1:That's her. That's totally fair. Now would I agree with you, christian McCaffrey, about 63. There is a risk of throwing them back but, like your, risk is about a five dollar change. I mean, I don't see anyone going near $70 from Christian McCaffrey, although he could be the number one player on the board literally in terms of at the end of the year and it can win you a fantasy football league.
Speaker 1:But if you're, if you're drafting them at $70, you're taking a huge risk that Christian McCaffrey is not going to get hurt and playing all 16 games, which I think is a big assumption. You got two factors going against him. One you know he's been injured from before being on the Niners to being on the Niners. Running backs seem to get hurt and quarterbacks seem to get hurt on the 49ers. And At $63, I think you that's about value of what you get for him if you throw him back in Not saying you will, because you never know how these things go, but you're not gonna pay too much more and it might be worse to risk to throw him back.
Speaker 2:However, I have a feeling that Brett might keep it well, one of the interesting things that I that I wonder if people are realizing slowly but surely is that Of course, past catching backs have their have, their, have their time. But now you start looking at guys like is Christian McCaffrey more valuable than Justin Jefferson or Tyree kill or Jamar Chase? There are our wide receivers now starting just like in the real game. Are they starting to get a little bit more respect? And Are those the guys they're gonna start going for higher value versus the running backs and that I don't know? I mean I I don't know for there yet, but I could see maybe running backs starting to slip a little bit just because wide receivers are coming, more important because of PPR.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with you, but they're also on. The counter argument was that there are more receivers in general to be able to pick from versus running backs.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but there's only so many elite ones, right? You know three I mentioned, or their elite thoroughly, and there's probably, like you know, he's, one or two guys, more guys you could add to that list. But the thing about gravity too, I know, I don't. I don't Dislate buying of the, the injury thing. I mean the fact that you got injured before doesn't mean this is like an again injured again, and he'd stayed healthy last year, so that's a tough one as well too. We'll get her not gonna. I don't think he's necessarily injury prone.
Speaker 1:Very enough and so like a couple things to look at and what we kind of got, move on to another team because we're Would you keep Christian McCaffrey, yes or no?
Speaker 2:no.
Speaker 1:Nick Chum yes, cam makers yes, corten Sutton Maybe Christian Christian Travis Kelsey no, okay, very no, all right, so let's move on. Who?
Speaker 2:would you keep where we were? If you kept any players, who would you keep? I'm definitely keeping Travis Kelsey, okay, and I'd probably keep Nick Chubb, and that might be it okay, I'm on the fence with acres too, so I got I just we're not helping Brett at all, but I could go either way there, so yeah and that's that's.
Speaker 1:I mean, well, that's kind of name. The game of the pen is football. Cam makers looks like a risk right now, but that might be the perfect time to keep, to keep them because that might be a low risk to be able to do. It's a little risky for my taste, but again, it's $10. I don't starting running back $10. That's gonna be the bell cow. I mean you can't go wrong with that, so maybe I'm in on that.
Speaker 2:But maybe last question we don't keep cam makers. I know we're way over him. You got three quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers at $13 to $4 and Sean Watson at $3, which you consider keeping one of them.
Speaker 1:If I did shoot, that's tough. Wow, I'm gonna face that problem because I can see Aaron Rodgers putting up some good numbers this year. But Aaron Rodgers, aaron Rodgers, he's a cool. He's like one of the best Football quarterbacks there ever was. When you look at fantasy football numbers, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:He's always put good numbers up, but not great right, and so that would throw me off Um, I you know my gut right at this moment by just looking at his roster as a time. I mean to Sean Watson, because but that's like a super Swing-in-the-miss kind of kind of a call, even though it's only three dollars, to Sean Watson could be a complete dud this year and probably practical purposes might be Um, but if he displays the talent in Texas, yeah, that could be a massive steal there through the harsh.
Speaker 2:I personally, I would go to and just pray. He was the eighth, eighth Best quarterback and points per game last year. Of course he gets, he got hurt a lot, but I would, I would, I would pick him based on that and just and pray he stays healthy.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't blame you at all and that you know it would be on my decision list as well, absolutely so. Now let's go to another team that actually to me even as complexing as poor Brett's team as to who he's gonna pick for his keepers, I think this team has even more complex, maybe the most complex of anyone in our league, that's us hand-hovered Boilermakers. And, as I go bold, I mean we got Dalvin Cook who just signed with the Jets. So I mean, looking at Dalvin Cook's numbers in terms of salary, not worth keeping at $58 and you can kind of read a discreet in a minute Reese Holly stills on the he has on his list at $26, which would have been a bargain if Cook didn't sign. But on top of that we look at some players that are me. Josh Allen you can't keep, which is good for us, bad for him, but I don't think he would, even at this rate. He's got Jalen Waddle at $14 worth is a worthy keeper there. I mean Brian Robinson Jr at $12 is worthy, but he'd probably be on the bottom of the list of, like the people that he has, almanra and Sape Brown at $19. I would definitely consider keeping him Cooper Cup at $25, which is a great deal too.
Speaker 1:Garrett Wilson at $4. Chris Alavi at $10. Kenneth Walker, the third, at $12. I mean, and there are some, actually some other value players in there too, like Traylon Burch, I don't know, he just got heard. Deontay Foreman might have a role in Pittsburgh. Kyle Pitts is like an amazing tight end, possibly. Well, I wouldn't keep him, but he's got $4. Never mind that. Jalen Warren at $13. I mean, there's some value there, but you know, again, you can keep three. He's going to let go of a lot of talent on his roster.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I mean I look at his roster, I see nine guys that are worthy of keeping and that's almost it. I mean they're all. All those nine guys are under $26. That's just, that's just insane. I mean, just, dill had the perfect draft last year. I've never, I don't think we'll, I don't know if we'll receive that perfect of a draft ever again. I mean it was, it was flawless, perfect, I know. By the way, also, josh Yannis is starting quarterback. That helped him a lot as well too, but he's got to let Josh go.
Speaker 2:So the question, I think, with him is do you go with the guy that are maybe the? The people consider the cream of the crop, which I think if you're looking at the wide receiver rankings, you go okay, jim Marches, cooper Cup, or the guys that are usually you know their consensus kind of top five guys as far as wide receivers, and then you take either Kenneth Walker of Rees Hall or or you decide to just go hey, I can go cheap and spend up somewhere else and maybe keep. I mean, if you're thinking that way, then you like, I'm keeping Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave. That's $14 right there and, by the way, it's just throwing Kenneth Walker and that's $26 and you got three. Like if this is a snake draft, that's run in my head right now. These are guys that are all gonna go in the first three rounds of a snake draft.
Speaker 1:So and yeah, and that would. There is really I mean you state a good argument. There's really no wrong answer here. It's just like you're rolling the dice as to which one you want to go with. I mean, if I had to pick three, I have a really hard time passing up Jim Marches, even though at $22 and that's an incredible bargain for maybe one of the someone can make an argument that Jim Marches might be the number one player next year on the draft board and I wouldn't argue with that Cooper Cup.
Speaker 1:There's some scare moments. If that guy stays healthy. You're talking about another number one possible player in the league. If he stays healthy, garrett Wilson I mean that to me is a no brainer. That's someone you got to keep. That's the guy who looks at all practical purposes, looks like could explode this year and he haven't got $4. But then if you, if you keep those three, you're gonna lose Brown. You're gonna lose a lot of a Walker, the people that you're talking about. I might take a pass on Walker only because Charbonnet been picked up by the Seattle and it could be more of a committee there. But enough of a scare that I'd be willing to drop Kenneth Walker. But regardless, if I were him, I'd be going with Chase, coupe and Wilson. But then now we're getting rid of Almond on the St Brown, you're getting rid of Chris Alavi and that's a tough and Jane Waladdle that's tough to swallow.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think I'm looking at that. Fans will say Alavi at 25. I think that's way too low. Like you have something like Jake London in front of him. Like I have no idea why. I think Alavi is a flat-out stud. I personally, I think, would, I think I mean I would. I'm not uncomfortable with Walker, you know. So I think I think Charbonnet oh, come on, he's easily guy, those backs usually there's a lot, except for a separate restart Jones, I think it was the only. It seemed like he's good, usually running back. That's ever, that's ever been. I think I would definitely go. I think I might just go through my receivers and get you. There's no wrong answer.
Speaker 1:I'd probably go to Marjays, alavi and Wilson and again, I wouldn't, I wouldn't argue that that pack whatsoever.
Speaker 2:I'm not afraid of the re-sol thing either, like I'm not afraid of the, the, the, the, the Calvin Cook re-sol. I think. I think that Jets they want to kind of like it's kind of an insurance for the first part of the season and I think as the year goes on, you know Cook has had a proclivity for getting hurt himself. I think you know freeze all down the stretch, especially for talking to fans in football playoffs. He could be huge, he could be like a monster during this. That's my only pause with him that he could be huge, as the saw. Just to say I'm not scared about keeping, keeping him well, I wouldn't be either.
Speaker 1:I mean, I would keep my could, I will, you know, pretty tall, not on top of that. But like you're looking at bigger picture next year, do I think his number support is value? Maybe not. I do believe quick will be more the bell help, bell cal. Then breeze hall will be but I could be wrong over that. But I do believe down cooks only gonna be there for a year and I think he's gonna be on another team the year after and it's gonna be the breeze Hall show. So like, if you drop him, well he's gonna go back into the draft and someone gonna keep him for three years and you're gonna miss out on. So you know that argument. What you're stating isn't unbalanced. I would agree with you. But then again, if you go with breeze hall, you gotta drop someone, and who you gonna drop exactly, exactly it's.
Speaker 1:It's a hard decision and I know Dale, with all his football acumen, is gonna make a great choice yes, and he is the one of the most curious to see who's on the board, who we keep and who he releases, because we're all salivating the fact that we cannot get some of those players. I mean even some of the like you look at some of those low bench players. For him, most are value. Jaylin Warren there's value. The on tape foreman there's arguments to say that those guys are worth keeping by themselves yeah until I those are anyone I would consider right now for the your top three.
Speaker 1:But you can argue that those are values that he has right there and and some team they might actually keep those guys yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:Oh. Good job Dale. All right, I think we've. We've masturbated over Dale's roster enough roster me this alright.
Speaker 1:So it's going to be an ink on the second self-nation. We got a quarterback to that press $8. He spent a lot on, say, clown Mark Lee. My all standard comes in at $21. We got marquee's brown at 21, aj Brown at 41, mark Andrews at 23. We got 20 Pollard at 21. Right now you can eat on the. Zardy Madison at 6, gibson at 9, waller can keep and I Damian Pierce down there at 12. You know that's not a bad list to pick from either.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and it ain't gonna suck itself. He's always got a solid roster. I mean always. We don't remember when we talked about as keepers like that or they were being given the season. He's always in the mix, you know, as far as who he's got, like you said, he's got a nice roster. He's got to let go of digs, let go of a waller, that's fine, but he's definitely got a lot of options to pick from. I think when I was kind of circling around his roster, I was looking at AJ Brown and Iuke as possibilities of wide receiver. I was looking at Madison and Pollard and Damian Pierce and running back and looking at and I forget to say sorry, aj Brown as well too, sorry wide receiver and also Mark Andrews. You know, mark Andrews, we talked about Travis Kelsey at $37, you know. The question is would you keep Mark Andrews at $23, who's arguably the second best tight end in football?
Speaker 1:That's a good point, and I you know, from one perspective, $23 is about and worthy of keeping. Looking at his roster, I don't know if that's what picked, though If he did I wouldn't blame him and say that's a good pick. But man, he's got some tough choices to make as well. I kind of like the Miles Sanders situation that he could become the bowtale over there, where he wasn't the filly At $21, even though it's a little steep. So but there's one possibility there. Like you said, aj Brown is one of the top receivers at $41,. That's a deal. I'm definitely going with 20 Pollard here, though at $21, even though it's a little high. They're gonna run the ball a lot and I think 20 Pollard is gonna be the show. Alexander Madison, I think, is also someone I would have to keep at $6. Guy's gonna be the bell teller, I do believe. So those two and then it becomes. Maybe I just go all three running backs, even with Damian Pierce. I don't know if I go there. I probably go.
Speaker 2:I'm right there with you. I'm not big on Sanders, I just I think Carolina's a horrible offensive line. I'm not a big fan there, but I definitely am on board with Pollard and Madison and Pierce. I think that would only tie you up 27, the $39, and you got your running backs basically taking care of.
Speaker 1:And that's one of the harder positions to take care of, honestly. But then you're looking at throwing back a bunch of good receivers. It's gonna be really tough. You'd be throwing back Andrews. You'd be throwing back IU Kevan One can argue that maybe that's okay. But you're also throwing about AJ Brown, which is not, and of course, steph on Dick, but he's not with Choice in that one. But he's throwing away a bunch of good receivers and he's gonna have to go heavy back almost to get that value.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, absolutely yeah. $41,. Aj Brown I think he's really good. I don't think he's the top five, so I think I'm okay, let them. Let them go and, like you said, it's gonna be tough anyways, and it's gonna be tough letting Andrews go as well too. But for me, I like the three, like you know, like the three running backs.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that's the probably way I would go, and then just go heavy on receivers, quarterbacks, whatever you can get. All right, we good with that.
Speaker 1:We good, we good, all right, moving on to the Taitown Brawlers, taitown's got Justin Fields, I think. Looking at his roster earlier, I'm just gonna center a couple things. He's got two of the best quarterbacks in the league and Justin Fields. And well, you got Geno Smith. One could not say that's the top one, but he still was in the top 10 last year. But he's also got Geno and Hirsch. Would you be willing to keep both quarterbacks in this kind of scenario? Or, looking at the rest of his roster, is he got too much talent to be able to even justify that?
Speaker 2:Well, what I wanna know is is it my give-o? Yes on the Superflex, because I mean he would have been in perfect position for the Superflex role to go in effect? I mean he would have been by far the best team in that scenario, just with those two young quarterbacks. So it's tough. You know it's especially tough, chris. I drafted Fields for a dollar last year and you traded him and then I dropped him.
Speaker 1:Oh, dropped him when he picked the ball.
Speaker 2:I dropped him when nothing was going on in the first. I got, you know, skittish or like that, and you know I mean I like to keep grabbing wide receivers and running backs, but I had it for a buck. I probably would have kept him for you know, whatever four bucks was there, I still think. You know, if you were doing the Superflex you gotta keep them, but we're not, and you gotta decide on which one you think is better, which I think is clearly Jalen Hirsch.
Speaker 1:So I'm gonna put back on that Like. I don't disagree with you that Jalen Hirsch is the better quarterback overall, but fantasy football I might go. Justin Fields is better.
Speaker 2:I'm with it. So I got, I got, I got, feeling like I just I'd actually put a wager on that. Okay, you can put a wager. Fancy Vivaldi index has a Hertz, is number two and has fields probably too low at 13, to be honest with you. But I think they're factoring in injury. You know, he's still a young guy, he's still making mistakes. I think that's why they probably haven't rate a little bit low.
Speaker 1:Sure, but I'm just telling you my perspective. I'd actually rather keep Fields. I think he's a bit of a more of a home run strike out kind of candidate in the situation. But if I was picking it, I'd pick Fields over Hearst. Okay, Both for value and I think he's actually gonna be better.
Speaker 2:For my point of view, a quarterback, it's Mahomes, allen and Hertz, and those are by far the top three and they're interchangeable.
Speaker 1:I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just telling you how I feel.
Speaker 2:Oh, tell me how you feel. Tell me how you feel. Tell me how you feel Otherwise, the rest of my roster.
Speaker 1:I'm not getting really excited about. Yeah, so who is there anybody outside of those top two quarterbacks that you would see worthy of keeping?
Speaker 2:I think Jerry Judy is a possibility to $18. Maybe he's rejuvenated by, you know, the new coach, sean Payton, devonta Smith at $15. But I think he's solid. You know, good number two. I don't think he's necessarily given the wild territory as far as the number two, but I think he's good in the never-ingram at $10. But you know it's unfortunately he doesn't have anybody super cheap and it's kind of what you're going for sometimes with these. But if I was, you know I think well, everything in Grim, I think, is really good at $10. We just talked about, you know, kelsey and then Andrews. We keep kind of going down a little bit. I think every Grim Grim has a great chance to be top five as far as the tight ends. So would you want to invest $10 in that? I personally would not. So I would probably look at just keeping Jalen Hertz and Devonta Smith.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I wouldn't argue that I might be really tempted to keep Jared Judy. I do believe Denver is going to be a lot better this year and he's going to be a number one receiver. I might go with him as my third.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I would say I think about too. He just seems like a heartbreak player. I don't know why you know, he just he is just flashes of brilliance and then you don't see him again for like three games and it's like. But he has the potential and I think Mikey believes in that. I could see him keeping Jared Judy for sure. But on the side I really like him, the idea of him keeping Hertz and Devonta Smith just a screw up, just a, just a kind of toy with a Dougie.
Speaker 1:Throw him up for trade bait and say, oh, I want twice what he's worth.
Speaker 2:Exactly.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:Maybe he keeps fields. Maybe he keeps fields and he's like, okay, I got fields, I'm going to trade Hertz, but you're in a bad position there. I think so Awesome.
Speaker 1:Now let's go to the league winner. I don't respect.
Speaker 2:I don't respect. I think we should do mine next. And they had the league winner last year. Do you agree?
Speaker 1:Okay, that's fair. Okay, I like it. We'll go to your team, who we punted earlier and now we're going to come back to, and you have a very interesting choices here. I mean, realistically, you have some of the some of the better players on this list that I would say they're intriguing. The issue with your team, I would say, as I look at your intriguing team, is there's a lot of question marks to all of them.
Speaker 1:The one, the two that I don't see a question mark behind are the two Joe Burrow $11. I think that's a great deal and I'd probably keep him. That's not really much of a question. Travis Etienne even he has a little bit of a question, but I'd probably keep him. Joe Bixon no, I'm throwing him back because, only because he's $59. Pachinko at 14, that's whatever value. Dk Metcalf is $25. I wouldn't argue that either. Now, nothing to argue there. Dj Moore is a great player, a little high on the $34, so I probably wouldn't keep him. Hawkinson would definitely be worthy at $11. Najee Harris no, only because he's $57. Pickens I would definitely be interested in $7. Williams I'd be interested if he wasn't being suspended. Jameson Williams at $4. Christian Watson as you know, caught on fire at $3. You got Calvin Ridley, which I think could be a stud pick for you, at $3. Even Zameer White might be starting if Josh Jacobs doesn't show up, at $7. You got Duff, duff, romeo, dubs, duff's there, sorry at $4. You have interesting choices here. It's all like you have nobody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it's the difference between I have a little like. Dale Smith except Dale's is like they're already proven and these guys look like they're gonna be superstars. Mine is like potentially superstars.
Speaker 2:And so it's second class. So I am a little worried about Barona's injury right now. So I don't know how serious it is. There's actually talking might miss at least the first game or two as a potential. So I'm a little worried about that. Etienne, just I don't know. I don't know if Phil Delphi is Phil Delphi but Jacksonville is doing, I think, of Peterson. I don't know what they're doing with him. Like he looked like the perfect pass catcher and then they I think they threw like kind of like 10 catches. I was like some stupid number. And so I'm like a little worried about Etienne and Bolfero, which looked like no brainer keepers. And so now I'm starting to fade a little bit towards it. Go towards the Hawkinson who just caught fire when he went to the Vikings. He just he was awesome and he has the potential. I don't think he this is a little bit of a thing he has the potential to unseat Kelsey. He has the potential, it's there. Whether that happens it's probably a long shot.
Speaker 1:And you know there's going to be opportunity there, cause who? Who does the Viking have to throw the ball? I mean, who the catch the ball? Jefferson, who's obviously amazing, but who else do they have to catch the ball?
Speaker 2:Yeah, not well, yeah, the nut. Well, they got the new guy, addison, they got the new the rookie, but he's a rookie, so you don't know, until you know, till it happens. So so I think he's gonna get a huge, huge share. He wasn't a big as bigger factor in the red zone, but that could always change. So you talk about Metcalfe $25 is a decent price, but I mean he only, he was only like 20th, you know. So I could see Pickens, watson, ridley, all be within the top 20, potentially, potentially. So why not go for the guys that are cheaper? So for me, I'm looking at, looking at Hawkinson, I'm looking at Watson is probably my, my consensus right now, the guy that I'm gonna keep so I'm looking at Watson, hawkinson and Ridley as well too is my three potential keepers. Now, if, if Jacobs is going to hold out and it looks like it's going to extend that I'll probably take a mirror white instead.
Speaker 1:That's good choices, only one, I mean. I would not argue with anything you just said. Joe Burrow, I might replace was the one, but I'm not sure who really would not be sure who have replaced that with. But then again, $11, joe Burrow, would you get a cheaper? Definitely not. Would you get more expensive? Yes, but I don't know how much more expensive he would be.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and he's not. He's not top three, but he's. He's probably top five or six, if I can read right right around there. So he's not, he's not dog me, but I'm just a little injury and and I could change my mind before between now, next Wednesday.
Speaker 1:So oh yeah, definitely. And again, you have choices, which is good, and. But you do have some of those swing and miss kind of candidates and they could be superstars or they can be duds, and each of them have like at least a little bit of a question mark. And I agree with the DK Metcalf. I mean, he's probably the most consistent in there of being solid and knowing what you're going to get. About $25, is that worth that value which DK math, math, math, math cap is going to bring to you, especially now that they got that rookie receiver coming in. Of course we got lock into court, you know. So going the ball, is there any regression? I don't believe you for dropping DK Metcalf. You know $25. I probably would do the same and go with some of the other guys that cheaper absolutely so should be excited to see what we keep.
Speaker 2:Yes the next the champion. The champion is the last team to review the San Francisco fourth and nine or so. I'll take it off for us. I'll do the the intro, so I don't know the steam one Now.
Speaker 1:I think we got, he's got he's got.
Speaker 2:He's got. I mean the consensus number, I mean the game we taught top three guys with Patrick, I was still number one as far as, as far as a quarterback position. You guys that were kind of undervalued, the guys he actually kept the year before game counter for net and they did a. Both of them did a good job. Yes, really were banged up occasionally, but they did. You know they were, they were getting them points that were doing well.
Speaker 2:Well, williams, who started here and there, also had a ton of touchdowns. So that worked out nicely for you. And then you know, you had Justin Jefferson and the number one, my receiver, potentially the fantasy MVP of last year. He was, he was a stud. So you kind of wrote a lot of that. You got pop primary, actually kind of quietly, actually had a pretty decent season for tight end. And then, of course, you got a lot of other decent players out there Michael Carter, james Robinson oh, you got a trade with James Robinson JK Don. Jk Don is gave Davis Odell Beckham, junior Khalia Herbert so, and Deandre Hopkins as well to Drake London. I didn't mention him. So and I forgot to mention Tyler. I do it too. So you had bits and pieces, and somehow you got those bits and pieces that get you the championship. So kudos to you. Now it's time to decide who we're going to keep.
Speaker 1:Well, I won't tell you one thing. That one thing that actually got me the championship wasn't having a great team, but I had the right situations, like Jamal Williams, like when do want to switch what out? You know he was a stud and I put him in that week and he would do really, really well. You know. You know clear, clear, harvard, same thing when that we get the starter out, he'd be the bell cow for the game and I would have a good game out of them. But really, to be honest with you, what really got me the championship had to be with two players with my homes and Justin Jefferson, and I'm so grateful that Justin Jefferson is only on your two for me so I get to keep him next year.
Speaker 2:No, that's no easy, easy, easy. He's off your roster. $70. $70. You can grab. You can grab Jefferson to give us $70 and Travis Kelser $70, and there's your hundred forty right there.
Speaker 1:Anyways, keeping a look at my even as I look at it, I see really only one player. Well, I'm going to tell you, I'm definitely keeping two, maybe three, but even at those two that I'm thinking about are marginal players, and I think you already know who they are. But the only one for sure I'm keeping is Patrick Maltz.
Speaker 2:We just joke, by the way. So just just imagine the sincerity there Jefferson for $70, you get Kelser for $70, you get my homies for $21, getting like $161. That's not, it's a, it's a, it's a winner. Die roster right there. But you know that's a starter. That would be too bad. I would be proud of you if I did that. I'd be pretty incredible now that I think about it.
Speaker 2:But I look at your roster. I think you know the under Hopkins, I mean, lands in an OK situation. He's obviously getting a little bit lower. But oh, he's only. Hopkins is necessarily passes prime. He's a little injury prone.
Speaker 2:You know, I think, you know, I think ten years of service, local quarterbacks. I think you have to be concerned. In him there Jamal Williams of course kind of takes on the lead role with, with Kamara being at the first three weeks. So just that $4 spend just for those first three weeks. You could see some value in. Although where he goes in the draft we don't, we wouldn't know. I don't welcome this intriguing at $7. You know so.
Speaker 2:But how much? How much does he? Again, he's not an old guy but he's kind of had this injury history and things like that kind of material sort of guy. So what is he going to do? And then James Conner still kind of is kind of the in question running back still in Arizona, although it's kind of a shaky team with the, you know, without Murray for the first at least several weeks. So I mean, as you said, Patrick Holmes is a no brainer. I mean, you got to, you got to keep phones for $21 to me, that's, that's done. Now it's a matter of deciding if you want to get Conner, Hopkins, Williams, Beckham or just kind of go, you know what. I'm going to save my money and use that $70 on Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1:And that could be a possibility and I'm more leading. I'm pretty strong and probably keeping the Andre Hopkins because it's only six dollar value. I can't really go too much wrong with, you know, six bucks right there. The one that's really kind of more in question for me is, I do a keep, james Conner 14. He is like the least sexy pick, but he is a starting running back with no one behind him and, as you know, that is the mid. That may not be a sexy pick but it's got a value to have a starter period, you know, and he catches five balls in the backfield and run for 50 yards. You know I just had a good game from him overall. But, like you very much eloquently stated, arizona is going to be in the running for the number one draft pick next year and James Conner also has an injury prone history and those two don't bold well for having productive fantasy football season.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I totally, totally with it there and there's. We did mention we got some of another intriguing play, like Jacob Domes I had mentioned, I mean, and Gabe Davis do. Guys are intriguing, and Khalil Herbert as well too, also intriguing as well too, but the dollar value is probably what's probably preventing you from keeping any. The same thing with Drake London as well, to probably prevent you from keeping the Johnson, another guy probably preventing you from keeping those guys.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, and if any of those guys were a little bit better value, they definitely be in the running for keeping, but at this point I don't think I will. And the problem with Jamal Williams, even though he's been a description of the first week, like you said, will be in a good spot. I heard they might sign cream hunt on the Viking or, sorry, in the Saints. And so it could be all bad for Jamal Williams and any value of keeping him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but every team is good. Every team has got it on cream and it seems like the last, the last two weeks, that's true? Who?
Speaker 1:knows.
Speaker 2:Who knows?
Speaker 1:I got to Wednesday to figure it out.
Speaker 2:Got to Wednesday, so so but yeah, I mean, even if you like you bad for going home, that's still good. I mean, I mean you're still getting the number one. I get arguably number one, you know, fantasy player in football.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah, don't just hear that. Cool. I think that kind of wraps it up. Or our look at the rosters as we go into fantasy football. A giraffe week.
Speaker 1:Next week we have one of the best players out there to be able to do some fun stuff with some good people, and 30 years running. I would say there's a couple negatives I was to. Being away from home was always hard, but for me it's always the difficulty of leaving my classroom on the first full week of school Never ideal, but always worth it after seeing you guys and having a great time. I don't think there's ever been a weekend I've gone up there and not had a great time, and so everybody out there. I'm so grateful to be able to see you guys this week. Can't wait to have the draft and have a wonderful weekend.
Speaker 2:Absolutely yeah. So yeah, going to be great and going to be wonderful drafts and hope everybody makes great keeper choices or back keeper choices those, those good guys back in the pool, that'd be great. I'd be happy for that.
Speaker 1:Me too, and that's why I look forward to seeing who keeps who and what we have to let the pool from. I'm just glad that I'm only on year two and Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 2:So, anyways, all right, buddy, great, great preseason work as always, and hopefully we can get to the podcast still going into the season, and the end of what was obviously the next one will be a draft recap, so hopefully people will look forward to that.
Speaker 1:Definitely. That's been a lot of fun and we're getting long and hours here and we're going to sign off. Anyways, Scott, sign us off.
Speaker 2:I'm getting a little tired.
Speaker 1:And that was our special guest Good night.
