Fantasy Throwdown Podcast: Recent Episodes
Dwayne Callender
Sports and fantasy sports collide as one man tries to cover everything under the sun or fall asleep trying.
We break down the day's events as Messi and Argentina tried to repeat as champions against the ongoing juggernaut that has been Spain's defense the entire tournament
Another World Cup, another England disaster to bounce out of the tournament. Maybe Tuchel was watching the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for inspiration? Regardless of what drove him to triple down on his same flawed approach we break down what happened.
A masterclass performance from Spain and a puzzling showing to say the least from France who seemed to be as confused as we were about their tactics.
Today we recap what happened with the remaining World Cup quarterfinals and how VAR factored into the proceedings...or not if you are a Norway supporter. Sørloth however remains on fraud watch.
Stacked show today as Bam Adebayo goes off on Tyler Herro literally, summary of the major moves in NBA free agency thus far, World Cup quarterfinals preview as well as my UFC 329 picks
Words do not do justice as to how woeful the performance was against Belgium but we discuss further
Germany gets knocked out by Paraguay as everyone forgets basic fundamentals and the laws of physics along the way
Looking back at the series again it is even more evident how slanted this entire series was than at first glance.
The New York Knicks are your NBA champions ending a 53 year drought and exposing so many problems with the current NBA that we are going to need multiple episodes to cover it all but for now my lack of voice will have to suffice this early morning.
We are covering the upcoming 2026 World Cup and all the upcoming changes to the format (most of which are bad) and where I believe most of these teams stack up in the grand scheme of things.
This 5 am update reexamines that mind boggling breakdown by the Spurs and how the Knicks and the Garden crowed walked them down.
Slanted officiating? Check. Wemby being allowed to do whatever he wanted in the 1st half? Double check. The Spurs having a ridiculous shooting streak in the 1st half? Triple check... And it still didn't matter as OG Anunoby goes down in NY Sports lore for immortality.
I give my thoughts ahead of this NBA Finals rematch between the Knicks and the Spurs over 25 years later
A father son watchalong for Arsenal being back in a Champions League final? What could possibly go wong?
Words fail to do justice to the crimes this Celtics basketball team committed during this NBA playoffs but I will do my best
I give my initial thoughts on the overall bracket with how some of these misseedings occurred and places across the regions where we can take advantage of certain spots. I also give my advice for developing a bracket strategy as well as survivor pool thoughts.
We have a further update on the "controversy" surrounding Bam Adebayo scoring 83 points as the national media misses the bigger picture. Meanwhile, I take the time to examine the NBA's proposals to resolve in-season tanking and why most of them do not pass the smell test.
You know it was a crazy night in sports when someone scoring 83 points in an NBA game is not the lead story for sports coverage on the networks.
I give my thoughts on why the US national media has been overall dismissive of the tournament, while Angel discusses how impactful this has been to baseball fans throughout the world.
The Ravens got us off to a wild start to NFL free agency with their trade for Maxx Crosby but we discuss the rationale and more pending moves ahead for NFL teams this offseason.
I recap the Olympics stories thus far, including the fall of the Quad God and how ridiculously it was covered. Plus, my reminder to you that NBA All Star Weekend is here and why you probably already forgot about it.
We recap as dominant of a performance on one side of the football you will see by a defense and how the Patriots were lucky to not get blown out by more.
My thoughts on how the game is likely to play out and the best pathways to victory for both teams. Also, I discuss the DFS options folks should be looking at more closely.
After my rant on the current state of NFL journalism, I review some of the prop bets available that casual fans can enjoy over the course of the game.
I give my thoughts on the headliner fights for UFC 325 as well as Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson at MSG tonight
Had to start throwing out ideas behind the disastrous decision to exclude Bill Belichick as a first ballot NFL Hall of Fame member which will be lambasted for years to come.
Today we discuss the aftermath of another Bills playoff blunder plus explore the bizarre conclusion to the Africa Cup of Nations finale.
What a terrible Sunday of games ahead. My strongest recommendation to avoid any heavy action if you can help it.
I talk about the Jake Paul Debacle from Friday night before diving into an ugly Sunday slate of NFL games

Today we cover the NHL and Premier League since I didn't get to touch on those subjects yesterday with my remainder of the season outlook.

My thoughts on the DFS slate how we should approach the roster construction on Draftkings and Fanduel
I give my thoughts ahead of the big game while my father and I debate what to expect out of the Chiefs and Eagles.
First I recap the 48 hour fiasco of Canelo breaking off and creating multiple matches before making up his mind on his next round of boxing matches. Next, I give my thoughts on the remaining moves of a tumultuous NBA trade deadline with the winners and losers of the Western Conference. I cap off the hour with my predictions for the UFC 312 PPV tonight.
There are so many layers to this Luka Doncic trade to the Lakers that nobody is talking about that I decided to give my thoughts on the likely real reason why this move was made and the fact that it was concentrated around the Lakers and nowhere else in the league.
Late night as my father and I break down the conference title games and our biggest takeaways.
I give my thoughts on the impending Bills Chiefs rematch as well as I why I believe the Commanders have a better chance than folks are giving them credit for heading into this 3rd meeting with the Eagles.

I give my thoughts on the 2 game slate as well as the showdown matchup slate on Draftkings between Argentina and Croatia.

I had to record this episode as I field way too many questions about what this means for the team and the answer is absolutely nothing. The whole motto of the Yankees offseason has been maintaining status quo even though they were drummed out of the playoffs when they had a ceiling year and beyond from Aaron Judge. I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the situation is far more depressing than most fans realize.

A shorter than usual slate today due to the Thanksgiving games but a number of starters being out has led to tremendous value at running back which is leading to a number of similar builds along with chalk Garrett Wilson. I try to give my thoughts on what we can target as I see a number of lopsided matchups on the horizon today.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I give my thoughts on all three games today and not a ton of surprises but I do differ from some on how these teams get there. I wish the Giants were not missing three starting offensive linemen otherwise I might be a bit more positive today. I fully expect to see a Zeke Elliott TD celebration on my screen at least once today... probably twice.

I will be blunt here if the Chargers get blown out tonight Staley is gone and the Chargers scramble to get Sean Payton to save their season because the AFC looks to be a tough grind to make the playoffs the way things are shaping up in the standings. That is not necessarily how I see things panning out tonight and I give my thoughts on a matchup where almost everyone is playing CMC.

Yankees fans do not get upset with me for being honest about the prospects of this matchup in Houston as I think it will be close but the team is fighting an uphill battle tonight. Meanwhile, we have the Saints one of the worst teams in the NFL traveling to play the Cardinals who are probably the most underwhelming team in the league. Will the returning DeAndre Hopkins finally wake up Kyler Murray from his Call of Duty induced slumber this year or will it be more of the same meandering offense?

My thoughts on the upcoming Premier League season which should see some pretty stiff competition for the top 4 spots with some contenders on the outside looking in and a pretty steep drop-off from there despite the EPL being far and away the strongest league for soccer this year. Plus I dive into some of the props I would be looking at closer for the remainder of the season.
My thoughts on the actual Premier League season will be in a subsequent episode but today I will be explaining the basics of the fantasy game based around the Premier League and how it differs from most convential formats you are accustomed to in fantasy sports.
My thoughts on the winners and losers of the MLB trade deadline and the importance it holds for the rest of the season. Pretty telling indictment of the league that over half of these teams are not even trying despite two wildcard spots in both leagues.
We are across the pond for the 4th major of the year so you know that means a late night for tee times and checking the weather before the slate locks. I give my final thoughts on what I believe are worthwhile bets to consider as well as the route I will be pursuing in terms of lineup construction on Draftkings.
My thoughts on the UFC PPV this evening and where I am leaning towards these fights tonight as we definitely should see some explosive finishes on the card.
I give my thoughts ahead of this year's US Open and where I think the public and oddsmakers are leaning towards for this event. Overall I find the backdrop of the suspended golfers who played on the LIV Tour playing at the US Open this year to be the most interesting storyline throughout the next few days of the tournament.
My overall thoughts ahead of the series opener tonight. I feel very confident in my betting lean on this matchup and how I will build lineups throughout the series.
My thoughts on the developments in the NBA and NHL playoffs thus far and how I am looking to approach the Milly Maker contest on Draftkings for Game 1 of the NBA Finals
I give my quick thoughts on the only NHL series to hit a Game 7 in the 2nd round between the Rangers and Hurricanes in what has been a home-ice dominant series. DFS and betting picks to follow in what should be a low-scoring game.
My thoughts on the Game 7 tonight between the Celtics and the Heat with plenty of question marks on the Miami side heading into this one.
My thoughts on the conference final matchups in the East and West and where I think you should be concentrating your wagers on in this round.
I give my quick thoughts on both Game 7s today between the Bucks/Celtics and Mavs/Suns.
Folks we have 5 Game 7s in the NHL this weekend. Five. While I wish the Rangers had already advanced by now I will give my thoughts on the matchups and who should move on to the next round.
My thoughts on Game 3 for both the Celtics/Bucks series as well as Memphis/Golden State.
My thoughts on the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs which remains my favorite sport to watch during the playoffs despite having probably the dumbest seeding format in recorded history for almost a decade now. My individual series picks as well as Cup predictions to follow.
We have reached the 2nd round of the NBA Playoffs and plenty of questions left to be answered as the top seeds held form through the 1st round.
My thoughts on what was a wild night in the NFL for Round 1 of the draft where we saw a number of questionable trades involving notable players around the league. Somehow the Packers did not move Jordan Love nor draft a WR and still did not make the list for the top 5 most questionable moves of the night. Sometimes you have to love the logic of this league.
We will recap the Nets debacle last night as well as preview the games on tap today for how I would approach the slate from a betting and dfs perspective.
My quick thoughts on the Saturday 4-game slate and where I think the series matchups will go today. Plenty of injury news to monitor that can have major implications in particular with the Doncic availability.
I give my thoughts on the tournament this year and while the vast majority want to be sentimental about Tiger Woods returning we also need to be a bit realistic with expectations. If the ownership is going to be as high as projected the full fade makes the most sense from a roster construction standpoint even on Fanduel imo. There are other ways to get ownership through showdown contests if he gets off to a good start but you have to take stands somewhere and this is an obvious example.
We are finally approaching the delayed start to opening day in MLB and I have to ask how we came up with some of these win/loss projections as there are some clear outliers that make little sense if you were following closely last year. I give my perspective on worthwhile season-long bets you can place in the futures market.
At the start of the season, people were all over the bandwagons of the Nets and Lakers and now we are watching the Lakers come to a slow embarrassing end as the Nets are at best a play-in tournament team. I give my thoughts on potential teams to back in the betting market as the playoffs are right around the corner this week.
My strategy thoughts on how to approach the East region where Kentucky is becoming an increasingly chalky selection in brackets.
My thoughts on the South Region and where we can try to find some edge in pools by thinking through how the public will be looking to construct their brackets.
More free agency news in the NFL and MLB as I give my thoughts on the West region for brackets.
So in less than 24 hours, we have another terrible salary dump by the Cinncinati Reds that somehow the Yankees were unaware of that upgraded the Mariners roster more than what the Yankees received for giving up two MLB caliber position players. And people wonder why fans complain about Brian Cashman having as much of a lease as he has been given for decades. Plus I give my thoughts on the recent moves the Chargers have made in the ultra-competitive AFC.
I was going to dedicate the episode solely to bracket talk but then Brady decided to drop the bombshell announcement and of course the Yankees had shenanigans to unveil as well.
I give my thoughts on the big tournament tomorrow along with my dfs picks and bets that I would be looking to wager.
My explanation of the Calvin Ridley suspension and why the league had to come down on him as hard as they did.
I go over my thoughts on this PPV card as the betting and dfs approach will differ and I want to outline why you need to be aware of the changes that happened on this card.
My final thoughts on the game and how to prepare for dfs purposes as the sites are different in structure but my lean will remain heavy on the Rams across my builds.
My thoughts on the game and where you should be looking to place your bets if you plan on taking any action on this contest. There are a number of props that we should be able to take advantage of regardless of the overall outcome.
I talk about the background behind the Flores lawsuit before discussing the situation further with my dad. Plus we give our takes on the Bengals Rams matchup and why people often overhype the QB matchup as more often than not you do not have that many standout performances over the decades.
Yes, this is covering the Pro Bowl as too many people mess up their lineup construction even with the variance involved in a glorified pickup game. Sadly no 2 game slates this year extending into the SB so we don't have dead money in contests that loaded up on players in the Pro Bowl.
I give my thoughts on the Bengals/Chiefs and Niners/Rams matchups today as well as my overall bets and DFS roster construction. Since I will be watching the games I also give my thoughts in terms of roster builds for both NFL showdown contests.
I give my quick thoughts on Tom Brady before getting into the latest news on the mobile gambling market in New York while touching on the latest developments between the Knicks and Giants.
We move on to Day 2 of the Divisional Round where we have big injury concerns for the defending champs today.
I give my thoughts on the main events of the UFC PPV tonight before diving into the 4 playoff games in the NFL this weekend. I know the focus is on the Bills/Chiefs matchup but there is plenty to consider before we even get to that contest.
We get a playoff game for MNF as the wildcard round comes to a close. I am not a fan of how either team finished the regular season which makes me think this game will be on the choppy side.
I take a look through the Sunday games and give my thoughts on how to approach the dfs slate as well as any bets I have an interest in today.
My thoughts on this NFL wildcard weekend schedule of games as the favorites have a reasonable case but we may get an upset or two over the course of the weekend.
My quick thoughts on the Giants finally firing Joe Judge (a day later than they should have but the correct decision nonetheless).
Quite a bit of hyperbole on both sides over in the Twittersphere concerning the game last night so I thought I would try to explain what happened to cause Brandon Staley to call timeout on that 3rd and 4 play. The decision and result probably saved millions for the sportsbooks on the hook if the game ended in a tie but there was logic behind it as flawed as it may have been.
My dad and I talk about the wild Week 18 we had today in the NFL before I give my thoughts on the SNF matchup between the Chargers and Raiders.
This is a true test of crossing off games as there are a number of low totals throughout the slate. There are some games and players we should be willing to get exposure on with some, not as highly owned pivots plus I have my own thoughts on ways to make your stacks different.
An ugly doubleheader slate as these teams should be pulling starters well ahead of the end of the game, especially between the Eagles and Cowboys.
It is a new day for the state of New York on Saturday morning as mobile betting is set to go live at 4 vendors, meanwhile, the Giants continue to spiral as an organization with Joe Judge as the face of the current clown show.
One more game to close out Week 17 and its the MNF finale with the Steelers and Browns in what is Big Ben's last home game. I am not going to crazy with builds as this should be a sloppy game but we should have an idea of who is getting the bulk of the work tonight.
We have a lopsided matchup tonight with no Cousins for the Vikings but we'll try to find a way to be different for this slate.
Busy 14 game slate as we are near the end of the regular season so hopefully we can nail a few more winners on the road to the playoffs.
We have an ugly MNF game on our hands here with just a 37 point total according to Vegas so the defenses and kickers are at a premium in this game in my opinion.
I have to reverse course here as the Cowboys already clinched the division setting up an all-time classic letdown spot against the WFT here even though this squad is the definition of mediocre. Dallas should smash here objectively but I would not be the least bit shocked they get pulled into a close game that no one expects.
Plenty of value on this slate and not much reason to go to crazy with pivots as this is one of the more unbalanced slates with the bulk of the action taking place in the 1pm window in terms of popular spots.
My thoughts on this doubleheader on Christmas Day where no one seems to believe that Baker Mayfield moves the needle in this early game much at all (that would be the correct answer).
My quick thoughts on how you can maneuver around this slate today and the games I would be focusing on.
My thoughts ahead of what should be an interesting matchup given what each team prefers to do on offense. The focus should be on the key playmakers so I am going to condense my captain selections tonight.
Two more lopsided matchups to close out Week 15 in the NFL this week. I expect the Rams and Eagles to roll in these spots given the issues Seattle and Washington are dealing with at the moment.
I give my thoughts on the two-game slate as well as how I would approach both showdown contests today. Note this was recorded Sunday night so make any roster adjustments accordingly if we get any injury updates regarding players in protocol or Thielen possibly being active tonight.
My thoughts ahead of this SNF matchup where we should see Tampa roll but then again the Lions beat the Cardinals today so who knows.
A number of lopsided matchups are littered throughout a jumbled Week 15 slate marred by injuries and COVID delays but we still have a few different options to attack the slate.
My father and I talk about the utterly preposterous decision-making throughout the game tonight and where things stand in the AFC West.
I give my thoughts ahead of this big showdown with major playoff implications for the AFC
My thoughts ahead of the slate and to start I break down the nonsense behind the conclusion to the F1 season.
We have ugly weather in Buffalo tonight with high winds so expect low scores. I would not go too crazy over this game because we can definitely have some weird plays.
My dad and I talk over some of the ridiculous results thus far in Week 13 before we discuss the SNF game tonight and how we think the game is likely to play out tonight.
For better or for worse most of my builds will have Gardner Minshew but I give my thoughts on an interesting slate of games and where I feel we can best take advantage of certain spots.
My thoughts on this AFC North matchup with big playoff implications on the line for both squads.
My final thoughts heading into what is a watered-down slate due to the Thanksgiving games earlier in the week.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I give my thoughts on the games tomorrow and where I believe you should be looking at in terms of these matchups. Also do not forget about the $1 single entry contest on Yahoo with the $100K grand prize.
My thoughts ahead of yet another Giants primetime game. Hopefully, they show up ready to play as my slate strategy calls for a closer than expected contest tonight.
Not the most interesting game as the Pats should roll so I am not planning on getting too cute with this matchup.
Not a ton of time but I am leaning more on Rams passing attack with the 49ers using dumpoffs mixed in with Eli Mitchell.
Another Sunday full of head-scratching results but we have one more game tonight featuring the top of the AFC West since the Chargers fumbled away another game this year. I give my thoughts on how you should approach this divisional matchup and where your builds should be going.
Week 10 is here as this season keeps zipping right along. I have my thoughts on the slate and the games I want to attack heavily this week.
My thoughts ahead of this Sunday slate of games and how to approach things from a lineup standpoint along with my preferred bets.
I give my thoughts on a night loaded with fights between a stacked UFC PPV and Canelo Alvarez vs. Caleb Plant matchup boxing fans will love. There will be plenty of fireworks and I cannot wait to see how it all unfolds.
Are the Giants going to get smoked tonight? Probably. Do we need multiple Giants to ship the slate? Almost certainly.
No fancy retrospective on the show as we have more football on tap. I give my thoughts on a not so appealing slate of games as I try to figure out who we are going to play in some of these matchups.

There is no shortcut around international rules spending for Cashman to abuse this time and he has not had an original idea in years. Yankees fans you should be afraid about the future right now.

We will try to find a way to win this slate that seems heavily dependent on Christian McCaffrey which will force us to come up with a credible script to get a bit different.
I give my thoughts on Week 2 Sunday games along with where I am leaning with my DFS thoughts as the optimal play seems to be focusing on the late slate but I may be stubborn enough to try to zig on this slate. Also, I give my thoughts on the wildcard races in baseball as the Yankees and Padres seem to be in freefall.
I give my thoughts on the matchup between the Bears and Rams and how you should think about constructing lineups for DFS purposes.
My thoughts on the most recent transfer deadline and how it will impact the league. I break down the upcoming slate of games as well as my thoughts on the immediate decisions that fantasy managers will face moving forward.

I give my thoughts on the end of the Premier League campaign along with my thoughts on how each team performed and where things go from here.
I give my thoughts on how the opening round of the NFL Draft should play out Thursday night despite the lack of franchise QBs (imo) that keep being projected at the top of the board. Plus I give some thoughts on the EPL clubs that did the abrupt about face in pulling out of the European Super League.
This was a long time coming but the battle between the super clubs of soccer vs. everyone else has now begun with the announcement of 12 of the largest teams in Europe (Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Tottenham Hotspur) opting to form their own league and withdraw from UEFA competition.

A quick update on the current status of Kansas and Virginia meanwhile Georgia Tech will be shorthanded for a tough opening-round matchup.
I give my thoughts on the two regions where I expect the most variance in terms of predicted winners vs. actual results. The Midwest region should still be the one to look out for in terms of how brackets are decided this year.
I break down the East region and my doubts over Michigan and their ability to defend without Isaiah Livers. This region seems ripe for a Cinderella type of story but I outline the possibility of that coming true.
I give my thoughts on the West region and if anyone can knock off Gonzaga. Also, I give my thoughts on the teams and players you should be focusing on for your brackets.
I talk about some of the recent moves in the NFL and the reason why teams have opted for this roster bonus conversion maneuver in light of the salary cap decrease. Plus I give my initial thoughts on the 2021 edition of March Madness.

I give my thoughts on handling the Daytona 500 from a lineup construction standpoint given the high variance associated with this race.
Who knew Eric Fisher would cast that large of a shadow over the Big Game? I break down the championship victory for the Buccaneers over the Chiefs with my dad and how many ways it all went horribly wrong for the defending champs.
I provide my final thoughts on the game tonight with the active list published. This should be a good one to watch and do not forget to check out the 2nd half contests as there should be opportunities available to pivot on strategy.
I give my thoughts on some of the more useful prop bets to target for the Chiefs Buccaneers matchup.
I give my quick thoughts on the big game next week as well as the Arenado to the Cardinals trade before diving into the Matthew Stafford Jared Goff exchange. Very interesting if only because of how underwhelmed both fanbases are with their starting QBs and what prospects they hold moving forward.
After Matt Lafleur's inexplicable coaching blunder we now have our Superbowl matchup set between Brady vs. Mahomes. I look back at both conference title games as there were a number of head-scratchingly bad decisions by the coaches on the losing side. Aaron Rodgers has to be wondering how things could have been different with a Tee Higgins or Chase Claypool drafted in the 1st round instead of Jordan Love.
My general thoughts on the slate of games today and where we should be focusing our attention on the DFS targets
I talk about the aftermath of UFC 257 and where does Conor McGregor goes from here. Three words: Diaz McGregor Trilogy.
Plenty to talk about what transpired earlier today as the Chiefs suffer multiple setbacks to Mahomes in their win against the Browns and Drew Brees gifts Tom Brady and the Buccaneers a trip to the NFC Championship game. I discuss further with my father and what to expect moving forward.
I look back on the action yesterday and where we should focus our attention for the Sunday slate of games.
I give my thoughts on the slate and the potential pitfalls of some of the matchups but there is value in playing the Browns this week for DFS value when looking at everything objectively.
We have made it to the NFL playoffs and I give my thoughts on the matchups as well as roster construction thoughts for both Draftkings and Fanduel. There is usually a surprise or two on this weekend and with 6 games this year as opposed to the normal 4 games we are bound to see an upset or two by the end of Sunday night.
Only in a joke of a division that was the NFC East in 2020 could we have an NFL coach decide in the middle of a game that the 3rd string QB needed to get some snaps was part of the gameplan. Tanking has been part of the NFL for years and I explain why it is nothing new and the handwringing over this needs to stop. Plus I take a look at the upcoming Wild Card playoffs next week.
It is Week 17 and we have an absolute mess of a slate. I try to make sense of it but this is not for the faint of heart.
Condolences to anyone going up against Alvin Kamara in the championship of their fantasy league this week but at least we have other games to focus on as I break down the Sunday games and my takeaways for how to approach contests.
Today should be focused on the rest of the NBA kickstarting the season and the James Harden/Rockets situation has upended everything. We have a possible postponement on the way over outbreak concerns. This is a fluid situation and obvious mess and still does not cover the nonsense that is James Harden's plan to get himself traded.
I take a look back on the prior football slate and some of the lessons learned as we head into Week 16 and some of the players to keep an eye on for waiver wire.
It is the special edition of the podcast where I cover various deals across Black Friday and this year I pay particular focus to improve WFH setups as well as electronics deals covering cellphones, laptops, TVs and more.
I break down the latest Cowboys debacle with my dad and Cam as Dallas completely implodes at home against Washington as Zeke and the Cowboys offensive line failed spectacularly as discussed earlier today as a possibility.
This slate was already bad with the Steelers-Ravens postponement but now with Swift being out just after this episode recorded only highlights the need to fade Zeke if only to avoid copying every other lineup out there today. The same goes for Showdown today. Have fun and if you get beat so be it today. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
We have finally arrived at the point in the season where the chalk converges on a play that makes too much sense but I have to explain why Taysom Hill works from a DFS perspective but not necessarily as a season-long fantasy play today. Plus I go over the spread and game picks today.
I finally get around to talking about the NBA Draft and free agency news although to be fair I am not getting some of the buzz being generated at the moment. The Bucks pretty much confirmed Giannis' departure with the botched sign and trade deal with the Kings unless a miracle happens.
My thoughts on the Masters tournament and the DFS slate this year. It figures to be a 3 studs build type of tournament this year as I believe there is a pack of players that will separate themselves from the rest of the group. Should be an entertaining tournament regardless even without fans present.
My thoughts on the upcoming slate and where I think there are some value plays and bets.
The time for excuses is over at this point. We are 20+ games into the Daniel Jones era with 36 turnovers with the vast majority of which are simply inexcusable. Tampa Bay had a complete letdown game looking ahead to the Saints on SNF and the Giants should have won by double digits with even an average QB. The Giants are not nearly as inept as some teams in the league but the QB position is without question the area that has to be addressed in the upcoming draft.
After recording last night, news broke that not only did Justin Turner tested positive for COVID-19 but was on the field celebrating violating every protocol under the sun. While the media is covering that aspect I am going to take a different approach and look at the situation MLB was under during the game last night and the results are not pretty. This is certainly a rabbit hole of a hot take but shenanigans certainly took place last night the extent of which should be investigated further.
Listen the Dodgers were the better team no one is disputing this but this will go down in history as one of the worst managerial decisions in MLB postseason history to pull Blake Snell prematurely. This one is irrefutably a colossal brain cramp on multiple levels by Kevin Cash that cost this World Series going 7 games.
I go through my initial thoughts on the World Series and why my take on Kershaw (Episode 183) has been validated yet again. Plus we dive into a two-game slate for MNF with the Chiefs/Bills and Cardinals/Cowboys.
While we still mourn the loss of having Bill O'Brien to make fun of regularly we do need to acknowledge that Adam Gase is still employed as an NFL head coach as we target the Jets for DFS and prognosticating purposes.
Recording this one in the aftermath of Sunday Night Football and the Vikings' imploding on national TV and all but ending their season already. I go behind the decision-making process and why it was flawed from the outset. Plus I take my loss with the Lakers inevitable title win in the NBA bubble.
Today I talk about the Yankees struggles in the postseason yet again and what they should be doing vs. what they will likely do instead. I also give a brief preview of the upcoming NFL slate but it does not look pretty.
My thoughts on the Yankees Rays Game 5 as well as the Heat trying to hang in the NBA Finals against the Lakers
I give my thoughts on the NBA Finals and where I see things lining up for the Showdown slate tonight.

Today I break down the final slate of games in the Premier League this season and what the scenarios are for the relegation battle and the "race" for Champions League that no of these teams seem to be genuinely interested in given their recent performances.
Today I discuss the new rules that will be part of the shortened baseball season, bring up my updated baseball rankings and cover a few more items listeners have brought up with my father.
Today I discuss what went down with UFC 251 last night as well as bring up the very bleak yet realistic outlook from SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey on the possibility of College Football returning in the fall.
If the opening few minutes are uncomfortable to sit through they should be as this is not a comfortable topic to discuss but I do feel that it is necessary.
Today I discuss what the proposed plans are across the major sports in the US and bring up the elephant in the room when it comes to any plan to bring college football back in the Fall.
End to end coverage of the NFL draft discussing what happened with every team including the Packers calling it a day on the Aaron Rodgers era but still asking him to sell some more merchandise in the immediate future.
Today is a more subdued reflection on the show thus far given the current pandemic but thankful to have made it this far with help from the listeners.
Publishing some of the rankings that I had in the can for the upcoming baseball season. Obviously, with the coronavirus concerns, the full rankings will not be for some time due to the postponement of the season for now but use this for reference as needed.
Publishing some of the rankings that I had in the can for the upcoming baseball season. Obviously, with the coronavirus concerns, the full rankings will not be for some time due to the postponement of the season for now but use this for reference as needed.

Part 2 of my breakdown includes my prop bets to target for this game as well as the final DFS picks for this NFL season.
Today I go over my initial thoughts heading into the big game (much like Marshawn Lynch I'm trying not to get fined) with the strengths and very few weaknesses of both teams.
Today I talk about UFC 246 before I dive into the AFC and NFC title games as well as DFS picks. Bill O'Brien gets spared my wrath but we have time to talk about the ineptitude of the Texans leading up to the Superbowl.
My reactions to the games yesterday and final thoughts on how to approach Texans/Chiefs and Seahawks/Packers matchups from a betting and DFS perspective.
My thoughts on the slate in general with my against the spread picks and DFS recommendations (play Kittle and Kelce together).
Does anyone know if Joe Judge is a good coach? Nope. Did the Giants horribly bungle the hiring process and absolutely butcher the PR spin? Yep. My dad and I discuss the debacle and debunk the myth that working for Bill Belichick translates into success at the NFL level.
The Vikings thwart the Saints yet again and plenty more to discuss about the fallout from the Patriots loss on Saturday.
Today I go over the ongoing love affair between Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and his soon to be fired coach Jason Garrett plus discussion on teams who are actually in the playoffs.
I give my thoughts on this week's slate of games and there are a ton of question marks from a DFS perspective.
Today I go over the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day debacle while outlining the ever increasing complications behind why coaches get to keep their jobs well past their expiration date. Also I give some recommendations on television sets to buy during this holiday season.
Tonight Cam and I give our immediate reactions to the Nationals winning their first World Series and all the ways the Astros managed to shoot themselves in the foot.
My overview of the Eastern Conference this season and to be honest the bottom may be even worse than last year.
More discussion on the Dodgers crashing out of the postseason last night the continued defense of Clayton Kershaw by the organization. Plus we discuss the NBA's growing problem of talking out of both sides of their mouth in the pursuit of money with a certain country I will not name directly.
The Dodgers biggest liability reared his head yet again in the postseason as the Dodgers get eliminated in not so shocking fashion by the Nationals if you have followed Clayton Kershaw's career. I talk about the loss and more importantly where the Dodgers should go from here in my initial take.
This morning I react to the news of Andrew Luck's retirement and I try to prepare Cam for his upcoming draft later this afternoon with my thoughts on how Colts players should be ranked moving forward. Obvious bump up in value for Duke Johnson in light of Lamar Miller's injury but he may still be ranked too low depending on certain formats.
Today I go over the players who are most likely to end up as busts based on where they are being drafted in leagues (Todd Gurley alert is very much in effect today). Also I give my thoughts on the sleeper picks you should be stashing on the back end of your drafts.
Today I go over the fantasy drafts I have seen thus far and point out the players I believe have been overlooked by the general public.
Tonight I discuss the ridiculous lengths US Soccer is going to avoid having to give a pay increase to the US Womens National Team (while pocketing as much advertising money off of them in the process) as well as the multiple sagas involving Antonio Brown that Hard Knocks hasn't even had time to cover yet.
On today's show I give my thoughts on the upcoming Premier League season and where every team should finish from last place all the way to who will win the title this year.
Is Kawhi Leonard the NBA equivalent of Keyser Soze or the beneficiary of an instant gratification media driven society? I have no idea but its 3AM on the East Coast and I need to get some sleep. The Clippers have landed Kawhi Leonard by pulling off a monster trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder to acquire Paul George in exchange for FIVE 1st round picks (OKC will look like geniuses if Sam Presti stays around long enough to use all these picks), Danilo Galinari, and Shai Gilgeous Alexander. Win-win trade on both sides. This is as almost as massive a defeat imaginable for the Lakers and its not even close because the shoe has yet to drop if Anthony Davis has second thoughts at some point this season.
As #KawhiWatch extends into the holiday we are still no closer to finding out where the balance of power will be in the upcoming NBA season. I give my thoughts on the situation and how little we truly know about Kawhi if some of these rumors about his meetings with the Lakers, Clippers, and Raptors are true. Also in today's show somehow the Knicks found yet another way into the current news cycle with a new story that epitomizes the ineptitude of the organization (shocker I know).
I have returned from injury only to find even more dysfunction with the Knicks than when I left. I go over what happened and why you should not be surprised it went as poorly as it did. Also Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to all the Mets fans.
I come back off the disabled list to give a breakdown of my 2019 NFL Mock Draft. There will be many terrible decisions made on Night 1 of the Draft. You have been warned and pray for any poor souls that are stuck with Daniel Jones as their QB of the future after Thursday night.
I go over the South region and make the case for Virginia finally making it to the Final Four (once I talk myself into the argument that is).
I go over the Midwest region and give my thoughts on if we are destined to see a North Carolina Kentucky Elite 8 matchup.
I go over the West region and give my thoughts on if Gonzaga has what it takes to get to the Final Four.
I go through my review of the East region as the Zion Williamson show gets underway in a few days
Today I go through my full breakdown of the Rams and Patriots and give my final thoughts on the game and spread pick. I also chat with my dad to get his thoughts on the game, the NFL completely ignoring the Saints, and the ongoing joke that is the New York Knicks franchise. Finally I give my thoughts on the DFS slate for the big game and whom you should keep a close eye on throughout the game.
Today I work my way through the nonsense of the no-call in the NFC Championship game and what the NFL needs to do instead of sticking its head in the sand. Plus I give my thoughts on the Waste Management Open in golf on one of the most popular destinations on the PGA Tour (yes I am absolutely serious about that).
I break down the debacle that was the UFC debut on ESPN last night with the star attraction (TJ Dillashaw now known as Dillasalt) getting his rear end handed to him in under a minute and complains that it was a complete screwjob while threatening the referee. Total class act that somehow overshadowed the sideshow that is Greg Hardy. Plus I go over my predictions for the NFC and AFC title games and how I believe it is inevitable that we see Tom Brady in the Superbowl yet again.
My mind struggles to comprehend what in the world the Chargers could have been thinking in the meeting room this week to ever think that strategy would ever work against New England. Plus I look back on what could have been the biggest blunder in Sean Payton's career in his failed attempt to get his players motivated to play against the Eagles.
I go over the action yesterday including another laughable performance from the Texans plus a preview of the Sunday matchups and DFS picks
Today I briefly talk about James Harden taking over the NBA MVP race before diving into the NFL playoff games this weekend. Spread picks and DFS lineups are all in play for today.
Tonight I go over the latest fallout between Antonio Brown and the Steelers, plus I cover the first golf tournament of the year with my DFS picks.
We conclude 2018 with a review of the coaches fired at the conclusion of the NFL season. My dad and I discuss where some teams had missteps and which teams were off the mark completely. Plus we look ahead to some of the playoff matchups and I explain how I managed to cost myself over $50,000 yesterday. No this is not a feel good story but it happens as you can be incredibly right and still make one wrong move to burn you in roster construction.
Today is precisely why you do not play regular season fantasy leagues into Week 17. An absolute mess of a slate that I try to sort out with no Davante Adams, no Zeke, no Golladay, no Kamara nor any other relevant offensive players for the Saints. Plus we still have no clue if Antonio Brown is going to play today. Tread carefully with your selections as today will be a bumpy ride but I try to make sense out of everything that could go down.
Today I cover a wide range of sports from the utterly bizarre interview Dallas Stars CEO Jim Lites had with the Athletic ripping his own star players and torching any bridges he may have had with glee to the Premier League title race and the College Football Playoff. Plus I breakdown the main events for UFC 232 and go through my against the spread picks for Week 17 of the NFL season.
Merry Christmas everyone! Today I go over the 5 game slate of NBA games with my thoughts on the matchups and the key plays for DFS lineups today.
Today I discuss the fallout from the NFL games this weekend and how the refs gave the shaft to the Steelers in the most brutal way possible. I give my thoughts on the breaking news that Clemson star DT Dexter Lawrence was cited with a positive drug test ahead of their matchup with Notre Dame on Saturday. Plus I breakdown the MNF finale between Denver and Oakland for the showdown slates on Draftkings and Fanduel.
It is championship week for those of you still in season long leagues but there is still quite a bit of football left from a DFS perspective. I give my thoughts on the Saturday slate and the Sunday games on whom I would consider for your rosters and which potential disasters to avoid.
As I struggle with my battle against the common cold I go over my predictions for the Saturday slate of NFL and college bowl games. I also explain the bizarre circumstances of this developing story of the failed Phoenix-Washington-Memphis trade involving Trevor Ariza.
I talk about the Heisman Award Ceremony last night before diving into this NFL Sunday slate with spread picks and DFS lineups.
I provide my insight as to how you should look at waiver wires heading into the playoffs this week. Plus with Mark Sanchez embarrassing himself on Monday Night Football people are clamoring for Colin Kaepernick and I will tell you why that's not going to happen anytime soon.
Today I comment on Tyson Fury possibly crossing over into the mainstream media last night after his controversial split decision draw against Deontay Wilder, (22:30) NFL against the spread picks and my insight into the DFS landscape for Week 13. This should be a very interesting slate of games for both DFS and regular fantasy heading into the playoffs.
This is a special edition of the show where I go through my advice for navigating Black Friday and how you should be shopping for electronics around the holiday season. I give you my opinions on cell phones, the tablet/laptop debate as well as the roundup of all the TVs you should be considering this season. This episode is dedicated to the people you know who need to hear this but probably won't since they are outside waiting on a doorbuster deal.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Today I go over the three NFL games today along with the players to include in your DFS lineups.
Today I go over my against the spread picks and my top DFS plays for the day. Feed Zeke and in Saquon we trust.
Tonight I talk about Le'Veon Bell holding out the entire 2018 NFL season and how both he and the Steelers horribly overplayed their hands, NFL players you need to bench or drop from your fantasy team today, and the end of the bromance between Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.
Tonight I discuss the debacle over the Cowboys dropping a home game to the Titans where Ezekiel Elliott gets ignored for the entire second half. Plus I go over who you should target (any defense playing against Nathan Peterman at QB).
I go through the NFL schedule and make my picks against the spread. Feel free to feast upon the return of the Peterman by playing the Bears defense in DFS and taking the Bears even at -17.5. You can thank me later.
Today I cover the running joke that is the Cleveland Browns. John Gruden continues his con job on the city of Oakland and why Magic Johnson is using Luke Walton as his whipping boy.
I give my predictions for the contest tonight and advice on the lineups I would use for the showdown contests.
I talk about how Dave Roberts hand delivered the World Series to the Red Sox and my picks for DFS lineups today.
I give my insight ahead of Game 4 of the World Series tonight after the marathon that was Game 3. I also cover the current line spreads of the NFL games tomorrow that start bright and early at 9:30 with the London contest between the Eagles and Jaguars.
Of course I cover the longest World Series game ever live. Crazy finish to a wild game with a Max Muncy walk off bomb to the opposite field in LF to win it for the Dodgers. A 7+ hour game finishing at 3:30 should give you an idea of how ridiculous this was but exhilarating at the same time. No one knows who will start game 4 Saturday night (i.e. tonight) for the Red Sox at this point. I'm not even sure I covered whatever the hell Ian Kinsler was doing in the field tonight but I am going to bed.
Tonight I cover game 2 of the World Series, news and notes around the NFL and look ahead to the Thursday Night Football contest between perennial pretenders Houston Texans as they host an injury ravaged Miami Dolphins squad.
Today I go over the Giants meltdown in Atlanta and discuss why Pat Shurmur went for two and why he should get fired anyway. Plus more coverage from around the league and which supposedly elite QB I am most concerned about moving forward.
Cam and I go over the SNF matchup between the Chiefs and Bengals as he tries to get over the Cowboys loss
UPDATE: Melvin Gordon is out today for the 9:30 AM game. Update lineups accordingly. I go through my weekly picks and provide insight for lineups on Draftkings and Fanduel. Plus I discuss Game 7 between the Dodgers and Brewers and the Rondo and Chris Paul fight.
Today I look back on the ALCS and NLCS games last night and look ahead to Game 5 between the Red Sox and Astros. Plus I preview the Thursday Night Football contest between the Broncos and Cardinals.
I recap the NFL action yesterday and the terrific SNF contest between the Chiefs and Patriots and why New England should be concerned even after winning the game. Emmanuel Sanders escaped my wrath this episode but he will be put on blast in a future episode for his bizarre explanation postgame.
As I expected the Giants were terrible again on Thursday night against the Eagles but why the media seems so shocked is what annoys me the most. I go over this debacle with my dad and spotlight numerous areas that are in complete disarray with this franchise.
A miserable Monday morning talking about the Giants debacle, terrible play all across the NFL, a recap of the UFC 229 debacle, and my concerns about the Yankees
I break down the slate of NFL games this week and give my thoughts on the overall options you should consider for DFS purposes. Hint: The Jets and Giants will not be among my recommendations for Draftkings and Fanduel
Today I discuss the MLB Divisional matchups thus far before shifting the conversation over to the ongoing saga of Jose Mourinho at Manchester United (10:00), College football games to watch (22:30), and my breakdown of UFC 229 (28:45) between Khabib Nurmagomedov and the Notorious Conor McGregor for the Lightweight belt.
I go over the MLB Divisional matchups, TNF with the Pats and Colts, a defense of Eli Manning and call out Nick Saban for being obnoxious in general.
I go over the plays to consider on Draftkings and Fanduel today for both cash games and tournaments.
Today I go over the results of the Premier League thus far with my dad and we talk about the slate of NFL games tomorrow. Among the topics include why I think Mitchell Trubisky is showing more warning signs of a bust than the Bears want to admit and the continued mishandling of young NFL QBs by teams.
As I expected the US continues to struggle in the Ryder Cup this morning with terrible pairings. I go over their struggles and outline my DFS selections for Premier League on Draftkings and FanDuel.
I go over the results of the afternoon games especially the debacle in Minnesota today. Also included are my picks for the Sunday Showdown on Draftkings.
Today I go over the spread picks for Week 3 and give my thoughts on the DFS slate as to where owners should gravitate.
We go over the waiver wire pickups for Week 3 in the NFL and yes FitzMagic is a definite start against the Steelers defense.
Cam and I go over the NFL games this afternoon and its gonna be a long season Bills and Cardinals fans. A long, long season.
Today I give my thoughts on the picks against the spread and my picks for DFS lineups for both DraftKings and Fanduel.
Tonight I go round by round for Canelo vs. GGG 2 with my thoughts after each round on this instant classic.
Recommendations on how to address the injuries to Doug Baldwin, Greg Olsen and Delanie Walker. Also players to target after a chaotic Week 1.
My dad and I discuss the 4th quarter meltdown by the Bears and incredible recovery/comeback by Aaron Rodgers. Brutal coaching job by Mike McCarthy and an even worse job by Matt Nagy in his first game with a big lead (felt like John Fox was still coaching the team didn't it Bears fans?).
My pick selections for Draftkings and Fanduel for Week 1 of the NFL season (expect the unexpected folks with the exception of Nathan Peterman actually being anywhere close to productive).
I go over the picks against the spread with my dad (HINT: Take the Ravens against the Peterman and the Bills) plus we go over the Le'Veon Bell situation with the Steelers.
Ok so you know your spot in the draft but what many owners end up doing is simply looking at the average rankings on ESPN. Today's episode goes over the importance of how simple changes such as standard, half PPR and full PPR can completely alter how the 1st round plays out. In addition I talk about the strategies you should consider given your draft position as depending on draft order you may be better off going by value based drafting instead of focusing on a particular player.
Someone is inevitably going to draft a few busts at your drafts this year. Try to avoid being that guy by the listening to the players that have the highest likelihood of not panning out based on where they are currently being drafted.
I run down the list of sleepers you should keep an eye out for this upcoming NFL season although there are some lost causes that had no redeemable fantasy value.
This episode is completely dedicated to the fantasy Premier League and how to navigate setting up your roster as well as player suggestions. If you are a novice this is as a good as an introduction as you will find to get yourself ready for the upcoming season.
On today's show I talk about how the Elam ending as showcased in The Basketball Tournament on ESPN can be good for basketball down the road. Also I discuss the AL MVP race in baseball and unveil my top 10 things to do before your fantasy football draft.
Finally baseball is back from the all-star break and the Mets have more injury woes. Cam and I discuss the divisional and wildcard races along with the Machado and Familia trades.

I also discuss the World Cup final with my dad and what FIFA needs to do to make the 3rd place game somewhat relevant in the future.
Today's show is stacked with World Cup discussion including the surprising exit by Brazil and the matchups of England/Sweden and Croatia/Russia. Is the Cup coming home?

Plus my dad and I go over the disintegration of the women's draw at Wimbledon, NBA free agency news and ridiculousness of the Kawhi Leonard debacle at this point.
The Warriors once again take advantage of everyone in the NBA being asleep at the wheel. No one understands the Lakers roster moves and I cannot blame them plus World Cup coverage and a belated Happy Bobby Bonilla Day.
I break down the individual matchups and odds in the World Cup Knockout Stage from the stacked left side of the draw versus Spain and everyone else on the right side.
I give analysis on the NBA Draft with quick takes on the picks without sucking up to the players as much as ESPN is doing on the broadcast. Does Adam Silver have a no negativity rule for the TV broadcast? He does realize that good TV does require at least some measure of drama right?

Later on (20:10) Cam and I go over some of the notable results in MLB this week as well as the fantasy performers on Sunday.

Tonight I get into the ramifications of the Supreme Court ruling in favor of the state of New Jersey for sports gambling and in turn striking down the provisions of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992. What does this mean for the individual sports leagues and consumers as a whole? I do not have answers for everything but the way in which you access sports may very well change in the near future. Cam also joins me for discussion on this ruling and its potential impact on sports in the US as a whole.
More coverage of the NBA playoffs as the Raptors roll over and dig their own grave for LeBron and the Cavs, the Capitals finally get one over on the Penguins and I go over the list of fantasy baseball injuries with the notable exception of Yadier Molina because some things are better left unsaid.

Well that was certainly an interesting night for the NFL. Cleveland once again manages to play a different game than every other NFL team and I do not mean that as a compliment. The Pats once again take advantage of the rest of the league without having to do anything in a 1st round filled with head scratchers. My Dad and I go through the picks and lay out what we liked and took umbrage with during the first night of the draft.
I talk about the NBA and NHL games last night and provide my picks for the Draftkings Lowball Contest for MLB tonight.

Today I complain about Arsenal and their lack of foresight of easily recognizable problems and Isiah Thomas' inability to stop talking before I dive into the remaining 50 players on the top 100 rankings. Who are some of the sleepers? What do you do about aging veterans? Which starters should you target in the early rounds? Who could help win your league or completely implode your roster? All valid questions that I try to answer with more to come in the next few weeks as we go through Spring Training.
