League of Extra Ordinary Dudes: Recent Episodes
Daniel Malone
An explanation for the 300 scores this year. Are there going to be more? Covid and the IR rules this year are effecting the waiver wire.
Get Pumped Up! For the first time in the history of the League of Extra Ordinary Dudes the 300 barrier has been broken. We start the podcast off strong, then Seth joins as guest host and... Unicorns. That pretty much sums it up. This podcast will serve as a tribute to "Livin on Helaire" throughout the ages. Or at least until next week.
We look way too far forward to Trade Deadline and Playoff spots and essentially over analyze everything the way we always do... enjoy.
Predictions, projections, reactions galore. Abusement Park is the bane of our existence. Benchwarmers wastes no time revamping his team wheeling and Dealing. Vacas misses the playoffs? Playoffs? Lastly, we wish we had a better message for WaiverWireWarrior...
Brees-in' 2 da what??? I'm Not Finishing Last OWNS Brees-in’2daPlayoffs! All of my wins this year have come against Seth. One more win against Seth and I am assured that I won't be wearing the pajamas. Meanwhile, I'M NFL , as he has come to be called in the chat lines, is not causing Benchwarmers to worry this week as he looks ahead to Vacas in week 13. Everyone 'slow clap' for Benchwarmers as he makes the playoffs for the first time... ever. Like... ever. There is no evidence to be found that Benchwarmers has ever played in a fantasy football playoff game. Tubesox surprises everybody on the podcast and knocks the Commish off his throne, literally and metaphorically as he makes his 2019 run for the championship by essentially locking up the first round playoff Bye with a big win over OfficeLinebacker.
The Chiefs lose in ridiculous fashion... I'm leaking green funk out of my lungs... I'm 1-9... Our pet's heads are falling off... I haven't done a "He That Is Righteous is Favored of God" podcast in so long that ministry are calling me on the phone to light a fire under me.
Insert a dramatic pause He that is righteous is favored of God...
take a moment for deep self reflection of priorities interesting...
Ponder the insignificance of fantasy football... Maybe God is trying to tell me something. It's the only logical explanation for my being 1-9. It would take an act of God for me to be this bad...
Light Bulb Moment ...I have a great new theory for the League Podcast tonight!
God Sighs and Shakes Head ...and I end the Podcast with a fitting quote from "The Waterboy"...
Some serious trading going on at the deadline. Abusement Park gives up and sells everything. Next years draft picks are discussed and The Commish vents a little about tanking. The winning scenarios are discussed both for the only playoff clinching team so far Vacas (the only playoff clinching team so far) and Benchwarmers as well as for the guys at the bottom. The intrigue is enthralling as the Pajama Bowl scenarios begin to take shape.
Which of these scores is not like the others? For the first time this year I'mNotFinishingLast is more than 1 week out of the playoffs. After a demoralizing loss to Abusement Park by less than 4 points it seems the end of the season is catching up with his record. Some Rules are discussed as well as some gratuitous trade lobbying in which two vastly different views are shared regarding the value of a 1st round pick in regards to the current Keeper Rules.
Maybe I'm an idiot. I'mNotFinishingLast thought it would be easier to not finish last and yet he's still only one game out of the playoffs. This week we celebrate with the winners as Abusement Park gets the big W handing Vacas his first loss of the season. Street Sweeper picks up a huge win in the most comical of stick it to the other guy ways by playing the backup as Dude Where's My Team plays the starter who no shows. We discuss trades and the value of draft picks and we share our polar opposite opinions on the etiquette of voting down trades. Next week the guys at the top play each other and the guys at the bottom play each other so some separation in the standings is likely. Don't be an idiot set your lineups and hit the waiver wire. Only an idiot would stop listening before the end of this podcast.
Next week The Commish is going to owe I'mNotFinishingLast a 12-pack of Diet Mountain Dew after he takes down Tubesox. Another called shot was by Abusement Park as he stated he would hand Vacas his first loss of the season in week 7. But all of that is just a distraction from the matchup of the week between the two juggernauts of the league, in what may be the matchup of the year... Street Sweeper vs. Dude Where's My Team. Two men enter one man leaves... wearing pajamas.
The theme of this episode is "Losers". The Commish and The Producer both took an "L" in week 5. The potential loser's bracket competitors are discussed based on current trends. What's more the top 5 ranked teams play the bottom 5 ranked teams this week, so the gap should only get bigger. It doesn't look good for DudeWheresMyTeam as his only win so far this year is against I'mNotFinishingLast, who currently sits in last place. In honor of the baseball playoffs we end the podcast with some classic trash talk.
The week of the RB. Whether it was a trade or an 80 yard TD run, the Runningbacks had a big part to play this week. Where is all the WR scoring? The weekly matchups are discussed including the battle for last place. 1 plays 2 in both the AFC and the NFC. A special segment from Vacas called "Best waiver wire pickups of the week" And an incredibly long winded interview with The New Kid on the Block, who shall be called "The Brother of 0-4". Sunday night football watch party at the Producers house after church Sunday all are invited. (unless the Rams do poorly on Thursday Night Football)
Special Guest Host Benchwarmers and Special Guest Abusement Park take over the airwaves and marinate for a while. Meanwhile the Producer is happy to finally experience the win column and points out the simple fact that he is tied for sixth place, the last available transfer position for the playoffs, but no one listens. Enjoy week 3 recaps and week 4 predictions all untainted by the overbearing, Bling wearing Commish who was kind enough to give our ears a break from his impetuous, narcissistic diatribes for one week. Stay tuned after the podcast for our first League of Extra Ordinary Dudes podcast "Listener Voice Message" left by one of our top listeners.

The Commish brings his ring to the podcast a' la Rick Saban. Vacas is Victorioso handing I'mNotFinishingLast a tough loss. Benchwarmers calls his shot and makes a bold prediction and also proclaims that he is ready to sell low on Aaron Rogers. DA shares a spreadsheet with Cody outlining the value of waiver wire pickups. Looking ahead to week 3, there are two 2-0 matchups that will automatically make two teams 3-0 and the other matchups leave us with the potential for three teams to be 0-3 by the end of next week. The chaff and the grain are going to separate quickly.
The Commish taps his ring on the table and starts the season strong with a big win in week one. Meanwhile The Producer predicts he will be in last place after week two. Surprises everywhere around the league as outstanding performers abound and lots of points left on the bench this week. Get your Waiver Wire selections in now that we have all seen the targets and who is going to be getting the ball.
