Just Two Zeros

Adam rejoins the show as the first seller of the 2025 SEKL Fantasy after giving Gibbs to Boz. We go through a number of Week 4 NFL takeaways from Tyreek Hills injury, The Ravens Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry struggles, Puka's pace, NY Jets player quotes, Panthers officially cooked, More 'Remove Turf' calls, Cowboys/Packers Tie, The Bears actually win?, and Chris Olave.

Then Tyler rants about Disney Movies before we jump into some Sports Trivia questions!

Dud of the week: Jordan Mason vs Cleveland.

The Vikings will be without starting left guard Donovan Jackson, starting center Ryan Kelly, and starting right tackle Brian O'Neill against the #1 run D in Cleveland. Any one of Darius Slayton, Jameson Williams, or even Chris Olave will do better than Mason's 15 carries for 48 yards.

Boz & Travis join the show to discuss a wide range of topics from Baseballs to the face & Caitlyn Clarks fine, to whether he'd sit on a cake or eat it for Bijan and what 'His Piss Was Hot' means.

Through Week 3, we don't have any particularly obvious sellers but Boz & Travis go through who is in 'buyer' territory vs 'seller' territory in the Spread Eagles Keeper League.

Then we wrap up with a quick minute on each SEKL team with a 'top 5' vs 'bottom 5' designation.

Enjoy!

Bruce joins the zeros to discuss everything from Burial Beers to NFL Over Unders. First we dive into the Sports Mount Rushmore and what qualifies someone to be on the mountain whether thats all sports, individual sports, or individual teams. Can Scotty ever be a Rushmore guy over Tiger?

Then its all about the Steelers where we recap Bruce's 2025 projections he made back in 2024 - track record looks pretty good - before we dive into various NFL Futures & Over/Under discussions including whether the Commanders will take a step back, Which 10+ over/under teams WONT hit the over, and Overhyped vs Underhyped Teams going into 2025.
