Got some good stuff in episode six. Did some serious trade tracking, took questions from the fans, and of course did some ma ma ma ma matchups preview.
Got a quick one. I do a quick rundown of each team, then preview the matchups.
I'll catch up on tracking trades and add some other fun stuff next week.
Went 5-1 on matchups last week, i get angry, discuss the trades, and more! Stay for the end when I go off the rails a little bit.
I lost Chubb, it’s sad. But we still gotta review last week and make excuses me for being 4-8 on predictions (2-4 each week). Then, I will completely ignore my terrible predictions performance and get back to acting like I know anything about fantasy football.
Listen in as i review last week’s happenings, declare the All-Loser team, the All-Bench team, subtle hints at how kickers are dumb and more! Special guest: our reigning champ. I could’ve edited a few parts out, but opted to leave them in for comedic value. Enjoy!
Who’s pumped about the LogPod this season!!!!! Episode 1, right here. Contents include: power rankings and muh-muh-muh matchups. Wanna know where you rank? You gotta listen….
Champ champ week ya’ll. I’m in Arizona, about to watch the TCU-Michigan game in the semi finals of the college football playoffs. But that didn’t stop be from some hard-hitting analysis for the championship game. Listen in as I discuss the players Nick and McCann are playing for, give an in-depth look, position-by-position of the Dad’s and Rayford’s teams in the playoffs, and more! Go Frogs, and good luck to those still playing for something.
We are in the Semis! Dad’s coming in hot, Smitty had 4 guys forget to show up on Thursday. Fantasy Football Expert has a revamped lineup that’s Purdy. Rayford had 185 points last week that no one cares about. Consolation Bracket is soon to see Amanda vs. Nick as the 2 hot teams continue to perform too late, when it just doesn’t matter. Oh, and Jordan vs. Urban for the sacko! Should be a fun week of football. Merry Christmas everyone!
The week before the playoffs is always my favorite. Everyone needing to win and other things happen always makes for great drama. In this week, I’ll rehash what happened last week in the review section, then I’ll talk about the WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU PLAYED AGAINST OTHER PEOPLE’S SCHEDULE analysis, discuss how we could make schedules better, M-M-M-M-Matchups, and Vick’s official, unbias, research-driven playoff predictions.
Final week to get into the playoffs. Points matter, Wins matter, it all matters! Special guest at the beginning. Enjoy the episode because when I don’t make the playoffs, I plan on putting way less effort in to this. Here’s the links to the analysis portions of today’s podcast.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
In Episode 11, we’ll take a look at how close Jordan was to beating The Fantasy Football Expert, talk about how my season is over and discuss what each team needs to do in these final 4 games to make the playoffs and then make a run.
Questions that we address this week:
Who’s going to be this week’s lock of the week? By how much is Smitty gonna beat me by this week? Is anyone going to beat Rayford? Why did Christopher hand The Fantasy Football Expert a top 10 QB?
Trackin’ trades, talkin’ with my Dad and pickin’ games. That’s all that’s happening here in Episode 10.
Here’s the link to the Trade Tracker.
Here’s the link to the Uncle Julio’s Menu
The league is clustered within 2 wins of each other - except for Rayford’s 6-2 where he’s played against, by-far the least amount of points. Also, by my count, there are 17-18 starting worthy starting RBs this week for 24 slots. There’s some mexican music, a lock of the week, points vs. ranks comparison and more. 37 minutes of me rambling, predicting, and acting like I know things about fantasy football.

Episode 8 has 2 special guests! There’s a lot of laughs, we predict the top 2 teams each, and things go off the rails a bit. We learn a lot about Russell Wilson in this episode: He does high-knees on the plane, hosts a bible study, hates Jerry Jew-D and might go by Russell Allen. Other things we learn in this episode: Christopher has a thing for small-handed QBs, Amanda thinks Smitty’s team is top-notch, and Greg Dulcich is the next Garner Minshew. Fun episode people, enjoy!
Review, Previews and a look at how we do against the Projections. HERE. Some teams get compliments - LaRoche, Fantasy Football Expert and Nick. Some teams are hurting: Dad, Me, Amanda. And some teams are trying to make it through the bye week. Enjoy this Friday rendition of the LogPod. Go Frogs tomorrow, beat the Wildcats. Oh, and I almost forgot: there’s a bunch of people that need to make some choices. Amanda, start that Swift guy, Jordan, You have Jonathan Taylor, play him. And McCann going with no one at Tight End this week apparently.
Awesome victory from the TCU Frogs yesterday over a solid OK State team. I have no voice from yelling at the game, but here comes Episode 6 anyway. Between the Review and Preview, I get in to things I’ve noticed this year. Season 3, Episode 6 - in your podcast feed.
Episode 5, comin atcha. Urban had the high score and had such a high score hangover that he forgot how to answer text messages. Some people’s team names suck - check out where I ranked your team name. And note to league: my Dad’s got an extra QB. (Special treat at the end of the podcast because I saw the clip there as I plugged in the outro music)
Stayed up late last night celebrating TCU’s great win over Zero-U. Getting this out a little later than usual. But, hey, it’s here! So stop complaining. In this episode, we have a return of the All-Bench team, a disagreement with the Yahoo projections, and more! Enjoy!
Week 3 has arrived. 3 teams remain undefeated: Smitty, me and Dad. This week, we spend some time bashing Jordan’s team for having the low score last week, look at how teams have performed against the projections, and think about the plight of rookie receivers. Plus it looks like the host (me), has some trade offers to throw out there.
Here's the link to the Comparison vs. the Projections

Championship Week! Let’s see who I pick for the Consolation Bracket Champ, 3rd/4th place game and the official championship! Amanda or Fantasy Football Expert?
Oh, and we got some great input from my dad!
Week 1 of the playoffs have concluded. 1 close game, Dad’s score 20 points lower than any other score this entire year and all of Urban’s wide receivers ended up on the All-Loser Team. Oh, and let’s listen to what Amanda has to say. Merry Christmas everyone!
Welcome to the playoffs! In Episode 15, Addi and I discuss gender rights, how Nick lucked in to the 3 seed, participation trophies, and make some solid predictions.
Abbreviated episode here, outlining the current playoff climate and some predictions. Special guest on the show: Addi, my daughter - because it’s my show and I do what I want.
Episode 13 brings you some sweet reminiscin’ from when I successfully predicted players that other managers should’ve started. I spend a good 8-10 minutes outlining everyone’s hopes of making the playoff. I mention the current leaders in waiver transactions (Spoiler alert: It’s Smitty).. Oh, and Christopher’s gone done made me mad - listen to find out why.
Listen in to Episode 12 for the Loser QBs placed on a full roster. Other fun things exposed: such as Zac Wilson returning to Smitty’s team, Rondale Moore coming back to Christopher’s team, Urban takes a full week to get a full team rostered, there are no good running backs that aren’t already on starting rosters, and the Fantasy Football Expert was last week’s big time loser of the week. Enjoy!
Wanna see some links?
Here's the Trade Tracker.
Here's the Top 6/Bottom 6 tracking Sheet
Last week, we all had low scores, but none lower than Smitty’s 80. Things should be better this week though. Except for McCann, he doesn’t have a QB at all to play. Other things I noticed: Fantasy Football Expert doesn’t have a decent RB on his roster, Nick keeps trading for players that will go out for the season, Urban’s is running some sort of weird hospital ward for injured RBs, and right now, Chrisotpher isn’t going to play defense against his wife. Episode 10, coming atcha.
Let’s start off by remembering those we have lost. And then get into the normal Matchup Reviews, All-Bench Team, All-Loser Team, Dumb Luck Award, Tough Luck Award, Big Time loser, Trade Tracker, and Matchup previews. Oh, and Daniel LaRoche had the lowest high score ever and told us about it.
We’re all bafoons! Rayford predicted 300, but ended up as the big time loser of the week. And 3 matchups this week are in the position of my Dad thinking the projected differential is sufficient in determining a likely winner. Good luck to everyone this week except Smitty and Pat Friermuth. Is the Muth Looth? I hope not.
It’s Bye-pocalypse! So many people on bye, so many injuries! Low projections, crapshoot running backs, and a hodge podge of positions starting in the superflex spot. Oh, and Rayford’s gonna score 300 this week. Enjoy Episode 7 everyone!
This Podcast is slowly turning into a personal therapy session for me to reflect on how badly my team sucks. Made up a new thing: The All-Loser team, where I identify the worst players that people started. Thought it would be a nice contrast to the all-bench team. The Fantasy Football Expert discussed life after Russell Wilson too. Episode 6, coming at you….Forgot to do some Smitty bashing this week. Dang.
Episode 5: Recording on my daughter's pink, stickered-up HP chromebook, I’ve had a few, I’m in a place with crappy internet, Nick didn’t give a victory speech, Some great DFS advice. Best one yet.
Smitty’s 0-3. Amanda has had a top 6 score every week and only 1 win to show for it. Christopher talks for a minute. Rayford’s team finally scores something. So much is going on in the League of Gentlemen plus 1 woman league. Oh, and check out the Peripheral Scoring Spreadsheet RIGHT HERE!
Tough Luck Award, Dumb Luck Award, Big Time Loser of the Week, Smitty Bashing, and McCann with a full minute of nonsense while being “Hooked on a Theilen.” Oh, and I take a moment in memory of Christian McCaffrey. Episode 3 of 2021 is the best LogPod Episode yet.
Enjoy!
Episode 2, back in the swing of things. Listen to Thaddaeus bash other teams and other people. Did you have a guy on the all-bench team? McCann got the hard luck award. And I complain about a bunch of stuff: Fitsmagic being injured, Saquon sucking, having to trade Laviska, getting Chark wrong and so much more.
Oh, and Smitty gets bashed like 4 times.
Enjoy!
LogPog is back for more. In this episode, we’ve got some draft analysis, preseason ranks, Smitty bashing and M-m-m-m-matchups!
