At Any Rate

Back to your regularly scheduled broadcast…sorta…

Stephen returns to his co-hosting duties this week…while roadtripping to the Redwoods! He and Sam welcome back guest co-host Tyler, aka Tim, aka “VT the Notorious IBD”, aka “MVP: Most Viscous Person” and we review our respective team performances from this past weekend (4:00). Then we get into this week’s Scuttlebutt (17:38) where Sam explains a few commissioners moves made this week and doles out this week’s trivia question (20:50). Finally, we get into our review last weekend’s fantasy match-ups (29:04).

Putting out a call for any good trivia questions I can bank for future use in case we need one.

Another short one for y'all!

This week on At Any Rate, Sam welcomes guest co-host Danielle as they recap the Jets & Eagles wins from last Sunday (6:32). Then they get into the Scuttlebutt where Sam explains (poorly) a commissioner's move that was made on Sunday (10:49), as well as this week's trivia winner...guess who (14:31). Lastly, they get into this past weekend's league matchups where Danielle gets to gloat...again (19:15).

Unfortunately, no new trivia question in the episode, so keep a lookout for an email with a trivia question for this week.

We’re running on fumes this week, but we’re here to give the people what they want!

Sam and Steve are going after the guest-a-thon in last week’s episode, but the good news is, this is our shortest episode yet! We announce last week’s trivia answer/winner (6:45) and ask this week’s trivia question (10:55). Then we cover last weekend’s matchups (15:10) and quickly finish up with a review of Waivers (29:18).

Remember to text/email your trivia guesses.

Our worst episode yet…

This week Sam and Steve are coming to you live from Hershey, PA and we welcome a menagerie of guests. We start by bringing in Danielle Kaplan to discuss the Jets (1st and only) win against the Eagles and an epic game of Pictionary (14:10). Then we get into the StaJolly Scuttlebutt (20:00) where we discuss Jessie’s new team name (21:20), update Steve’s power rankings (23:42), announce last week’s trivia winner (26:16), and ask this week’s trivia question (28:25). Then we said goodbye to Dani and welcomed in our parade of guests: Lisa Kaplan (34:28), Jessica Oliver (47:43), Margie Oliver (1:06:02), Mari Gomez (1:25:16), Tyler Simowitz (aka VT the Notorious IBD) (1:39:06), and finally Stuart(?) Oliver (2:08:38).

By far our longest and least structured episode! I highly encourage using the time codes if you want to skip around to the good parts.

Somehow, it’s our best and worst episode yet!

This week we welcome our most anticipated guest yet, Tyler, aka “Tim” and start with a short preview of this week’s huge familial grudge match, Jets vs. Eagles (6:35). Then we get to the Scuttlebutt (12:46) and discuss the new team names of the week and update Stephen’s official power rankings (20:57) (plus a light scolding of Tyler for his “own goal”).  Next, we announce the winner of last week’s trivia question (24:40) and eventually get around to asking the question for this week (29:58). Then we review this past week’s matchups (35:25), get into a short strategery session (49:53), and wrap things up with our waiver wire picks of the week (1:00:06).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN!!!

This week Sam and Steve briefly recap the Jets and Eagles games (the Jets came oh so close). Then we get into the StaJolly Scuttlebutt (10:40) and discuss the first couple of trades made by yours truly. Then we review the newest team names (13:43) and Stephen redoes his power rankings accordingly. We announce this week's trivia winner (22:45) and ask next week's trivia question (24:17). I also have a homework assignment for everyone! (28:35). After that, we welcome this week's special guest, Paul, for an interview to find out how his first fantasy season is going so far (31:00). Then we review this week's matchups (51:03) and finish up with some waiver wire talk (59:05).

Somehow, we got longer...

This week, Sam and Steve welcome the stud Jeremy to the pod to talk a little bit about our beloved Birds and cover all this week's action. We start with this week's StaJolly Scuttlebutt (8:52), announce the winner of last week's trivia question (13:40), and ask this week's trivia question (22:00). Then we review the newest team names (25:25) and Stephen gives his team name power rankings (31:02). It took us long enough, but we finally got around to reviewing this past week's match-ups (37:16), a little strategery session about trading (48:00), and wrap up with some waiver wire talk (1:00:10).

Email me if you have any good segment ideas or trivia questions!

This week Sam and Stephen welcome (the infamous) Danielle Kaplan to At Any Rate to discuss this weeks fantasy action. We also provide a strategy session for the inexperience players as well as this week's top waiver wire targets. Finally, WE HAVE TRIVIA! First person to email/text me the answer(s) get's a prize (TBD...trust me, it won't be worth it)!

Somehow this episode ended up longer than the last. I promise we'll make the shorter....at some point.

Sam and Steve discuss the misery of Jets fans and StaJolly league updates. Then they evaluate the results from this past weekend's match-ups and, finally, look at some key waiver wire additions.

New episodes every Tuesday evening during the season!
