Fantasy Football Party

Once upon a time… not so long ago…

Tuvey used to work on the docks, Magsh has been on strike, Bo's down on his luck… it's tough, so tough.

Ajayi won't be able to play, Clement is Bo's man but for Smallwood Magsh pays… for love, for love.

We say you've got to listen to have a shot, it doesn't make a difference if it's redraft or not. We've got DFS and that's a lot to love. So you should give it a thought.

Woah, we're half way there!

Woah, with info to share!

Download this pod, you'll love it we swear!

Woah, Trubisky's a Bear.

Wait… what?

This episode of The Fantasy Football Party podcast marks the halfway point in our season of shows, so excuse us if we're calling on Jon Bon Jovi to help us celebrate. After all, we had Big Ten volleyball on the TVs at JL Beers, a City Lights Coconut Porter to die for, and Bo claimed his first 50/50 win of the season thanks in no small part to his unflagging faith in Ryan Succop and the Smallwood/Chubb total package.

The Party-goers also discussed whether Russell Wilson and David Johnson would be there for you this season, whether Alex Smith gives fantasy quarterbacks a bad name, and how you should never say goodbye to Eric Ebron—especially with Jack Doyle out another week. Plus Bo tabled the turns on a sneaky Michael Scott reference, Magsh staunchly refused to mix audio drops into the show, and 2V broke character to deliver a poignant take on the passing of his college football coach and honoring his high school coach for going into the school's Hall of Fame.

Bet you didn't see that coming. Yep, it was that kind of show. Don't be a little runaway, hit play and let the dulcet tones of the Party-goers soothe your senses and bulk up your fantasy knowledge.

You knew it was going to be one of those nights when Bo grabbed Smallwood, then talked up the need for giving Chubb more touches.

Yes, the Fantasy Football Party-goers have the collective juvenile mindset of prepubescent teenage boys, but at least they refrained from making a Curtis Enis joke.

(Narrator: They didn't.)

But double-entendres aside, the FFP podcast is chock full of everything you could possibly need to school your fantasy league and fill your DFS coffers with lots and lots of do-re-mi. In this episode alone you had our personal regrets from Week 5, all the news that matters to your fantasy-addled brain, and 50/50 teams that allow the Party-goers some friendly competition while cluing you in on players who might be available to adequately fill a bye-week hole or otherwise fix a busted lineup.

And then there was Magsh bearing down in the face of a Cubs collapse and a Bears bye; 2V pontificating on the proliferation of points and how it should (or—spoiler alert—shouldn't) affect your future plans; and Bo battling through the fit of giggles and a bevy of stiff drinks to go hard after his Smallwood/Chubb stack while packaging a bunch of junk together to combat the lightning rod of… well, you know where this is going and it will only end poorly.

As Anthony Weiner once said, "I'll text it to you."

The FF Party hosts are nothing if not able to take a misheard report and run amok with it. They can also take a nothing day and make it all seem worthwhile, but that's a theme for another set of show notes. This week it was John Brown practicing without pants (Pants? You mean "pads"? Forget it, he's rolling) that captivated the crew, who themselves dropped Zubaz-themed trou in syncronicity with the Ravens receiver, accuracy be damned.

But that's a visual cue; you'll be listening to the audio portion of the program, so get that image of Bo in his boxers, Magsh in his tightie whities, and 2V in something unusual you may not have even heard of right out of your mind; we've got a show to pitch.

As per usual, the boys unleashed a flurry of regrets from Week 3 before breaking down the key fantasy facets of every game on the Week 4 slate and standing back while each Party-goer unrolled their 50/50 squad. Plus, Bo stuck by his beloved Corey Clement while refusing to grab Smallwood, Magsh lamented the lack of a cure for the rash of Cat Scratch Fever that claimed Mike Nugent's wang dang sweet season, and 2V bemoaned the performance of Latavious Murray and the local squad, which left a state-wide stench resembling a used diaper filled with expired Indian food.

Can we get a collective "huh"? Yep, it's the Week 4 edition of the Fantasy Football Party podcast, and it must be heard to be believed. Just press play!

Maybe it was the temporary new location (JL Beers, of course, but this one in Nordeast Minneapolis). Maybe it was the raucous crowd or the lack of a Beer Hall for recording purposes. Or maybe it was Bo's bushy mane of chest hair bursting forth from his half-zipped Zubaz track jacket, only partially hidden by DeSean Jackson's jewelry—which, apparently, doubles as a hood ornament for a gold-plated semi.

Bo's chest jungle aside, the Week 3 edition of the Fantasy Football Party was once again jam-packed with all the news you give a (potty word) about, as well as regrets that made our Week 2 just a little south of perfect and 50/50 lineups that help you identify spot-start season-long targets as well as shoehorn all the big boppers into your DFS lineups.

Plus, Bo flushed the latrine and hopped off the Browns bandwagon—and right into the awkward embrace of Corey Clement; Magsh shook off the fog of Seattle—where pot is legal and DFS isn't—to work the board like Zedd (trust me, your kids will get the reference); and 2V was finally—finally!—able to down his dinner before it cooled well below room temperature during yet another marathon gabfest of an FF Party. Amazing what actually using silverware can do.

So pour a tall beverage, gimme somethin' to write on (man), and prepare yourself for all the fantasy football wisdom and smart-assery that is the Week 3 edition of the Fantasy Football Party.

For a moment, it felt as if the 2018 season of the Fantasy Football Party podcast was over. Magsh lay supine on the floor, as close to the afterworld as one could possibly be without crossing over. Was this it? Would he ever walk again? Would we have to turn to Deshone Kizer to cohost the show the rest of the way?

Nah. Magsh isn't a spineless drama princess. He got up, dusted himself off, and the show went on.

That means these gritty, gutty troopers brought you news on every game being played this weekend, shared their fantasy-football related regrets, and broke down the who's and why's of another round of 50/50 teams. Plus, 2V once again salivated over a tasty burger while trying to make it through the show without chewing into the microphone; Magsh scraped himself up off the Lambeau Field tundra, frozen only as much as Kyle Fuller's hands and the hearts of Packer co-owners, to once again seamlessly helm the show; and Bo... well, Bo drafted Corey Clement and the Browns. Again. And again.

It's a show for the ages, or at least for Week 2. Enjoy in moderation.

Bo was walking down a one way street

Just a lookin' for a team he could beat

One Browns fan who was looking for a win

Now he's hopin' (hopin') that the feeling is right

And we're wonderin' (wonderin') if he's been plagued with blight

It's a party (Bo don't want to be lonely baby please help him)

He's drafted Nick Chubb all over

Do you believe in Browns

Do you believe they're true

Do you believe in Browns

Is Bo making you believe it too?

Now the feeling is beginning to grow

And the meaning is something we only know

If you believe it take the Party's advice to heart

Come on

We've got sponsors (sponsors) who support our show

Like Zubaz (Zubaz) you can wear head to toe

And JL Beers (we don't want to be lonely baby please show up)

And join our Survivor Challenge

Do you believe in Magsh?

(Do you believe he's true)

Do you believe in Magsh?

We are starting to believe him too

(sax solo)

We used to have a fantasy podcast

Is that about tochange?

No, now you've found us and it's going to last

Do you believe in us?

Do you believe we're true?

We're so glad! We're so glad!

Do you believe in us

Are we making you believe it too

Good!

Wee-ooo ooo-ooh ooo-ooh

Do you believe in us?

Wee-ooo ooo-ooh wee-ooh

Do you believe we're true?

Wee-ooo ooo-ooh ooo-ooh

Do you believe in us?

Wee-ooo ooo-ooh wee-ooh

We believe in us too!

Oh, hi, didn't see you there listening. The whole Huey Lewis bit started last year when Magsh booted up our show and accidentally queued up a Huey tune instead. So we've beaten that bad boy into the ground--much like Bo's love for the Cleveland Browns, which is spelled out ad nausem in this episode. Plus, we kick off the regular season with our 50/50 teams, run through all the important news from every game, and regret the mistakes we've made this preseason. As an added bonus, media supernova Dave Bergren sat in with the show and pondered to trade or not trade Le'Veon Bell. No worries, 2V showed up as well; he's just recovering from the JLpeno sandwich that set his mouth on fire. It's all that and more, wrapped up in our longest podcast of the year--just in time to set your course for Week 1 of the 2018 fantasy season!

The final FF Party preseason podcast was predictably prescient--and if you're anything like 2V you're probably pronouncing that poorly. Bo amazed the audience with all his awesome alliteration, Magsh bounced back and forth between bits of breaking news and bashing the 'Boys' bad receivers, and 2V trashed a trendy quarterback while touting a terrific tiny pass-catcher and tossing back two tasty beverages.

Plus, the Party-goers presented parting thoughts, posted pretty yet pertinent pictures, and polished off plenty of libations while parting ways with the NFL preseason. Hop off the bus, Gus; it ain't rhymin' Simon but the boys are too hip to be square. Make no sense at all? Who cares? The regular season is almost here, and everything you need to treat your league like Mychal Kendricks treats a stock tip can be found by simply pressing "play".

Longtime friend of the Fantasy Football Party Huey Lewis once sang he finally found a home, and the FFP crew did the same as Episode 3 of the podcast landed, for the entirety of the 2018 season, at JL Beers in Burnsville.

Comfortably ensconced in the friendly confines of the Beer Hall, our suds-soaked warriors sampled JL Beers' 48 taps and their outstanding array of delicacies; in between sips, discussion centered around players we love more than perhaps is socially acceptable, offensive lines porous enough to make Sponge Bob envious, and all the news you need to know to treat your league like Bryce Mitchell treats the family jewels.

Plus, Bo dropped some inside statistical knowledge, Magsh tried to digest a jalapeño without benefit of chewing, and 2V mixed the Faribault Moon Boots with the Grain Belt Blu to create the tastiest PB&J you'll ever drink. And as an added bonus, Zone Coverage's Ben Remington joined the show to explain what exactly a lower body injury entails.

It was raw, it was risky... dare we say it was both raw AND risky! Your draft and/or auction is almost upon you, so set yourself up for success by drinking in the hop-encrusted knowledge provided by this week's Fantasy Football Party podcast!

Sundays are for football, and with the Fantasy Football Party 2018 slate starting a little later than anticipated our trio of heroes took full advantage with a very special edition of the show. There was, of course, all the news you need to know, as well as discussion of the fantasy prospects -- both dynasty and redraft -- for rookie quarterbacks and tight ends. Then the lads broke down auction strategy for both newbies and veterans alike, wrapping up the show with an elite-level breakdown of the league's top offensive lines and how you can spin that information to assist your fantasy preparations. Plus Bo did this, Magsh did that, and 2V did the other thing -- because, why wouldn't they? Are you still reading the show notes? What the heck for? Plug in your podcast machine and kick off your week with the unexpected aural treat provided by this very special edition of the Fantasy Football Party.

Oh yeah, Party people, here we go!

It's a new host—thanks, Zone Coverage!—and a venue to be determined, but the Fantasy Football Party podcast is back in all its raging glory. In our first show of 2018 we covered all the news you need to care about, broke down the first round of a typical redraft, highlighted the fantasy prospects of rookie running backs and wide receivers, and gave you a peek behind the curtain into our draft strategy as you prepare for your own upcoming player dispersal event. Plus, Magsh worked his new equipment, Bo kept the show from veering wildly off course, and 2V took full advantage of the stretchiness of the Zubaz waistband by putting away a full pound of Potato Olés. If, like Baxter, you don't speak Spanish… how about some French, as we went oui oui with Ballage-e-trois; yes, the FFP innuendo game was in midseason form—and that includes backs with benefits and handcuffs, both fuzzy and otherwise. We're happy you made an effort to follow the FF Party as we break new ground (and some wind as well).

Now… please return your seats and tray tables to their locked and upright position, and strap yourself in for the ride. Party people, rock the house!
