Fantasy Football Party

Mount up! ... It means get on your horses.

The Fantasy Football Party-goers unleashed their final episode of the 2018 season on an unsuspecting holiday party in the Beer Hall at JL Beers, dropping knowledge like it was hot and providing a dedicated listener base with all the knowledge necessary to build stacks of cash and take down season-long leagues.

Yep. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sipping his traditional beverage, Bo reveled in his 50/50 win while reflecting on a season filled with Chubb and Smallwood.

Danny, I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen; all you have to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking...let things happen...and be...the ball.

Magsh twisted all the dials and knobs, rueing that his upcoming showdown with Bo in their shared dynasty league would be for third place and not a big shiny trophy. And he remembered to hit "record" so the news team didn't have to mess with anything technical above their pay grade.

Yeah! The phone in the limo was busted. What is ya, ignorant?

Nattily attired in his dress Zubaz, 2V once again leaned heavily on the JL Beers staff—and not just as he staggered out to Santa's sleigh. They delivered a pair of tasty beverages that were right in 2V's wheelhouse of a warming, creamy mouthfeel—and well into the double-digits ABV-wise. And it didn't affect his ability to dispense sage advice coherently. As least that's what he'll tell you.

Despite all the little problems it's fun isn't it? No. But with every new day there's fresh hope.

(Narrator: Bingo!)

Thanks for listening, and reading, and following on social media. Hopefully the Party-goers have done more good than harm, and you'll track us down in 2019 for another fun-filled fantasy football extravaganza..

We really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside)

Two weeks 'til we go away (Baby it's cold outside)

This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in)

So very nice (On Joshua Allen we'll roll the dice)

Our mothers will start to worry (Don't start Latavious Murray)

Our fathers will be pacing the floor (Need a running back who can score)

(Narrator: So evidently not Frank Gore)

Well maybe just a half a drink more (That JL Beers staff knows what to pour)

And with that the Fantasy Football Party-goers closed their song books and backed away from the front door of JL Beers, where they'd been caroling and carrying on for the better part of an hour.

(Narrator: The fine representatives of the police department had nothing to do with their departure. Mere coincidence.)

Yes, the penultimate episode of the FFP podcast is in the books, with all the news and views you need to set your DFS lineups and/or survive and advance in your season-long playoffs during this critical Week 15. You had Magsh running the board with aplomb (and opposable thumbs), Bo offering sage wisdom as the show's own fuzzy Buddha, and 2V moving up in class to the 15% ABV beer which made him that much more interesting… to himself.

Beyond description, this week's podcast—like each episode before it—must be experienced to be believed. Do so now, if you dare. 'Cuz baby it's cold outside.

On the uno dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a Stone Xocoveza from JL Beers.

On the dos dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… dos Buffalo receivers kicked to the curb.

On the tres dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… tres 50/50 lineups to help fill that gaping hole in your roster left by James Connor's injury and Kareem Hunt's stupidity.

On the quatro dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… quarto active Ravens running backs, making the backfield a muddy quagmire for fantasy owners.

On the cinco dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… cinco Golden Tates.

(Narrator: That was too easy. Try harder.)

On the seis dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… seis Lamar Jackson fumbles. That's a lot of el droppos for a running back, even if they're disguised as a quarterback.

(Roberto McKenzie: This is too hard. Let's skip ahead a couple days.)

On the nueve dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… another bebe for Rios de Philipo.

On the dies dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a pair of Mitch Trubisky autographed Zubaz for our beloved Bears fan trapped so far from the Windy City.

On the once dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… once Ebron receiving touchdowns.

(Narrator: Suck it, Magsh!)

On the doce dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a head coaching job, merely a formality for Number 12 in Green Bay. We're not owners, don't blame us for pink-slipping a husband and father so close to the holidays.

(Narrator: Wait, you're not done? Please kill me now.)

On the trece dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… trece players thrown under the bus, one for each of Ben Roethlisberger's interceptions.

On the catorce dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a Week Catorce fantasy playoff win!

As Lili von Shtupp so famously sang, "I'm so tired." Now, what are you waiting for? Press play and let the dulcet tones of Bo, Magsh, and 2V run down your earhole and pump your brain full of fantasy football goodness.

There's a passage the Fantasy Football Party-goers have memorized. Ezekiel Elliott 25:17. "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children."

So we're thinking: maybe James Connor is the evil man. And Baker Mayfield is the righteous man. And Mr. Jonnu Smith here… he's the shepherd protecting our righteous asses in the valley of darkness.

Or it could mean Frank Gore is the righteous man and Anthony Miller is the shepherd and it's Ricky Seals-Jones that's evil and selfish. And we'd like that.

But that ain't the truth. The truth is Wendell Smallwood is weak. And Nick Chubb is the tyranny of evil men. But he's tryin', Ringo. He's tryin' real hard to be the shepherd.

Flip open the suitcase and stare in slack-jawed awe as Bo unleashes his Samuel Jacksons stack on the 50/50. Dig into the bag and pull out a wallet that says "Bad Maggio" on it, then spend the extra DFS cash on Nyheim Hines.

You know, 2V's getting kinda tired. Maybe from giving Alex Collins and Tre'Quan Smith foot massages.

If our answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.

Yes, it was all there in an out-of-sequence fashion set to great 70s music: the immediate regrets, the game-by-game fantasy-relevant news, the dumpster-diving for budget DFS/season-long roster filler to salvage your season and set you on the path to the playoffs.

Plus 2V set a 50/50 lineup that made sewer rat taste like pumpkin pie, Magsh ain't no country I've ever heard of, and…

BANG!

I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort.

Bo's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

And they will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy our brothers.

We happy?

(Narrator: Yeah, we happy.)

As we gather around the table to give thanks for a third NFL game on Turkey Day so we don't have to actually interact with relatives, the Fantasy Football Party-goers also give thanks for you, the listener. And pumpkin pie.

Don't ask us to prioritize.

Gathering a night early so that our respective families may enjoy the same juvenile humor you the listener are treated to on a weekly basis, the Party-goers dished out regrets from last week (John Harbaugh and his rotating backfield is banished to the kiddie table), passed the plate around a full slate of Week 12 games, and served up three 50/50 lineups so delicious we can guarantee there will be no leftovers.

Before you chow down on turkey, stuffing (not dressing), and sweet potatoes (preferably with marshmallows, no raisins please)—or after, we're not the kind to judge—give a listen as Bo directed traffic to and around the turkey hole, 2V tested the limits of both his Zubaz waistband and the PC tolerance of nearby tables, and Magsh conducted the FFP's first annual turkey drop in the JL Beers parking lot.

(Narrator: As God is my witness, he thought turkeys could fly.)

Of course, you'll still get plenty of bullet-point material to drop at the dinner table when Crazy Uncle Ned asks how your fantasy team is doing; multiple helpings of players available in plenty of leagues who could pull your proverbial drumstick out of the fire this week; and a steaming pile of Duke Johnson discussion into which we didn't even bother to insert Chubb or Smallwood.

(Narrator: Be thankful this holiday only comes around once a year.)

In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as our names are Lucky Day, Ned Nederlander, and Dusty Bottoms… uh, Anthony Maggio, Bo Mitchell, and John Tuvey, the people of Santa Poco—and anyone anywhere who hears our podcast—can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!

No one was more excited for Mexico to host a real live NFL game than the Spanish-speaking—or at least the Mexican food-loving—hosts of the Fantasy Football Party podcast. We had our Spanish sounders queued up, our guacamole ready to spread… and then the NFL goes and moves the game to the City of Angels because the field looked like a Bea Arthur Brazilian gone horribly awry.

Still, we persevered.

(Narrator: Way to gut it out, hombres).

There were the usual… what's Spanish for shenanigans? El shenanigans? Los shenanigans? In any event, there were the usual shenanigans, with mucho regrets and bueno information and… okay, burrito is the only other Spanish word I know and it doesn't really fit here. But it would be filling.

But we digress.

Highlights of the positively en fuego podcast included Bo reveling in his listener league win and talking about creating a double or even triple entry Pump N Go tournament; Mash reveling in his 50/50 win (again) and vouching for Anthony M's everywhere; and 2V reveling in the high ABV of his Lift Bridge snifters while bemoaning the fact he was stuck playing in the Wrist Shot nightly.

Celebrate the catorce of the month with the vigor the Party-goers clearly did as you enjoy the Week 11 podcast and everything that goes along with it.

America needs a podcast like the Fantasy Football Party.

Other podcasts are made by people who came here illegally from other planets, beat puppies with wet noodles and metal tubing, and are beholden to the kicker lobbyists for lineup information. We're almost 100 percent sure that's true. And if it's not, who cares?

Health care industry lobbyists injured your players on purpose. They're passing legislation that will prevent you from starting players with pre-existing conditions, even if they're not on the injury report.

And don't even get us started about incompletions without representation.

As the country pulls itself together following the latest round of divisive elections, there's no better time to turn to the Fantasy Football Party to put a turkey hole on every table and a Chubb in every lineup.

Thankfully, the political attack ads are behind us for at least a week or so, allowing us to turn our full attention to the fantasy football homestretch. And along those lines, the Party-goers were pleased to bring their unique brand of wit and wisdom to the Week 10 table. There were the usual suspects: death, taxes, and immediate regrets; a run-through of all the relevant news pertaining to this week's slate of games; and lineups consisting of the dregs of fantasy football—or at least players at least half of you are actively ignoring.

(Narrator: Actively ignoring?)

(Narrator's Intern: Forget it, he's rolling.)

And of course you had Bo swearing off the temptation of the devil's beverage to make a Duke reference so jaw-dropping it warranted a rim shot; Magsh pouring one out for all the Farm Girls he's loved before—bravely, too, with his wife less than a frying pan's length away; and 2V reasserting through actions and words that not only should he never run for public office, but that public officials should actively run from anything resembling his endorsement.

All of this was witnessed, much to her chagrin, by Magsh's wife. The phrase, "outkicked his coverage" doesn't do her justice.

We're the Fantasy Football Party-goers, and we approved this message. Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, your Week 10 edition of the Fantasy Football Party podcast. God bless America.

Bo was checking FantasyLabs late one night

When his eyes beheld an eerie sight

It wasn't 2V gulping down fries

Instead he got a big surprise

He lost to Magsh

He lost 50/50 to Magsh

That bastard Magsh

Part of the FFP menage

Four wins for Magsh

It's a fact we can't dodge

All hail to Magsh

He's the king of the lodge

Yes, your beloved Fantasy Football Party-goers cashed in their trick-or-treating candy early enough to make it to JL Beers in Burnsville to record the Week 9 podcast. The combination of tasty beverages, the sugar high, and a combined century-plus of juvenile humor led to a show that has been recorded for posterity. You'll be party to history just listening to it.

Even with six teams on the bye the Party-goers found plenty to talk about, from a double regret stemming from placing opportunity above talent to half-owned guys you can use to fully own your league to a complete breakdown of all the fantasy-relevant news from this week's games—and plenty of non-relevant detours down a road best marked NC-17.

Plus Magsh showed up as Saved by the Bell's Principal Belding… wait, we're being told he was Hogwarts maintenance engineer Haggard; 2V turned his weekly Zubaz into a poor imitation of the Road Warriors; and Bo took home the costume contest with his lifelike rendition of Richfield society icon Robert Mitchell.

(Narrator: At least he wore pants.)

And of course you had 2V spanning the globe of references from Mike Tyson's Punch Out to DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince—and somehow bringing it all back to at least the neighborhood of fantasy football relevancy; Magsh wondering how the Lions' offensive coordinator might adjust the length of Matthew Stafford's pass attempts in the wake of Golden Tate's departure—if only to be able to say "Cooter" and "dink" in close proximity; and Bo running up a nice 50/50 total while inserting his Chubb into lineup after lineup with blatant disregard for the consequences.

(Narrator: Thank the deity you choose to support this holiday only happens once a year.)

The Fantasy Football Party is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of our office in the beer hall at JL Beers in Burnsville as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here.

Anything? Well, uh, I guess Bo, deep down, is feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you set a 50/50 record and you're supposed to be this entirely different guy. But he doesn't feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for a show meeting, which was lovely. And, uh, Bo happens to look over at a certain point during the meal and see Nick Chubb, and he found himself wondering what color his Under Armour might be. Uh, odds are they are probably basic white, cotton Under Armour. But he sort of thinks, well, maybe they're spandex, maybe it's blaze orange. Maybe it's something really cool that we don't even know about, you know, and uh, he started feeling… what?

Wait, I thought we were in the trust tree in the nest, were we not?

(Narrator: We were not, in fact, in the trust tree.)

Despite Bo's confusion the Party-goers managed to string together enough cognizant thoughts to fill an hour-plus of podcasting. There were the usual suspects, like immediate regrets and news you can use and a brand spanking new batch of ragtag 50/50 lineups chasing Bo's behemoth score. There were the usual Smallwood and Chubb references, along with a gaggle of other juvenile humor sprinkled amongst the actionable fantasy intel.

And then you had Bo knocking over his rare craft-brewed in New Ulm malted beverage, 2V polishing off a fistful of chicken fingers right in your ear, and Magsh desperately trying to keep this spinning vortex of a podcast at least in the same zip code as the rails it veers wildly from.

One more thing: we're going streaking!!!! We're going streaking through the quad and into the gymnasium! Come on everybody!

It's October, which means many things to many people. The leaves are changing colors, the fantasy football season is reaching its midpoint, and Oktoberfest celebrations bring ales of many flavors to great beer halls like the one at JL Beers in Burnsville.

It's also the official "Cancer is Bad" month in the NFL, which is a serious event indeed… though the Fantasy Football Party-goers, in their own inimitable way, managed to find a silly side to Bo's visit to Dr. Jellyfinger.

(Narrator: Well, it is. Bad. Cancer, I mean)

But before things spiraled completely out of control—the show, not the outpatient procedure—the Party-goers managed to break down a slate of games with four teams on the bye, drafted a lineup of players at least half of you apparently hate, and opened up about their immediate regrets. Let's just say Bo's involved the dearth of lubricants in the medical profession and leasing rubber gloves with an option to buy.

(Narrator: Bo doesn't have any. Elephant books.)

Plus there was a raucous crowd knocking back drafts like the tap was stuck on turbo, which led to Bo leading the entire bar in a show-stopping rendition of "Moon River". Then you had 2V making more Brock Osweiler puns (Brock Brock. Who's there? Bears defense. Bears' defense who? I know, right?), Magsh saving a fruit fly from drowning in his beer before crushing it like a Browns' fan's dreams on his show script, and Bo… well, after recovering from his Smallwood/Chubb stack, Bo dropped some sage advice about acquiring all the Alvin Kamaras you can get.

(Narrator: Breathe easy. Ever serve time?)

After all, the best way to avoid cancer is to not get it.

(Narrator: What the hell just happened?)
