World Class Weekly

On this episode, David and Cody are joined by World Class Rookie manager Shane Moore (current team name: What Can Brown Do For You?)

Cody takes a moment to run some more victory laps over his historic championship season in the first (and only?) year of World Class Rookies Dynasty League.

The trio discuss the current unknown status of the league. Is it cooked for good? Will it continue in another form? Several options are discussed.

JUST IN CASE there is more dynasty fantasy football to come, the hosts hold a mock draft on air to showcase the first round offerings and what each team could expect to land with a first pick.

Shane offers up some data on Team Power Rankings for Dynasty, and the episode closes with Cody learning how little David really knows about Cody's family.

As always, thanks for listening! Please share your thoughts, comments, suggestions, and questions!

Surprise, Rookies! David and Cody are BACK and bringing you a post-season wrap up episode!

David kicks off the show by welcoming the NEWEST (and some are saying GREATEST) champion to the table of World Class Rookies champion, CODY STAUFFER HIMSELF.

Cody, David, and special guest Jake Cederwall do a little catching up, and then discuss some of the reasons why Cody had such a dominating season. The trio also discuss the surprising fourth place finish of the Catfishers, who were the pre-season favorites to win it all.

Commissioner CeeDee shares some of the important upcoming dates, and all three give some tips on how to handle the offseason, and what to expect at the first Rookie draft of the Dynasty format.

As usual, please share your thoughts on the episode, and give us your take on the 2024 season that is now officially in the books. Feel free to comment on the historic domination by Cody and The Fighting Amish as well!

Thanks for listening!

This week's epsiode is GROUNDBREAKING! David and Cody host none other than Tahj Bomar, AKA The Catfishers, AKA "I'm 1-2 in the Hamburger Helper Bowl."

Since this is the week of the PREMIER rivalry in the World Class Rookies, of course Tahj is on, and of course Cody and Tahj rehash a little Hamburger Helper Bowl history.

Tahj first offers up some biographical information-- including what his middle name is! -- before Cody pulls out a TWIST!

Normally, Cody hosts a trivia face-off between David and the guest; but on this episode Cody points out that, while he and Tahj have the best rivalry in the league with The Hamburger Helper Bowl, it feels as though David and Tahj have a bitter rivalry, one in need of some resolution.

It's here that Cody reveals A SECOND SPECIAL GUEST, one with a background in relationship counseling and conflict resolution. Using his lazer-like insight, the guest soon has David and Tahj reconnecting. Wounds, healed. Bridges, repaired. Relationship, restored.

This episode definitely deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.

Oh, and of course Tahj and Cody go head-to-head in a weekly pick 'em, where Cody remains undefeated.

Make sure you share your thoughts on the episode in the text thread, on Polo, or here in the comments.

As always, thanks for listening!

On this week's episode, the fellas are joined by league member Tyson Tucker! Cody kicks off the episode with a quick discussion about Halloween candy, followed by a quick introduciton and bio from Tyson.

David and Tyson go head to head in a trivia showdown, featuring questions about space, sci-fi movies, and Tennessee vs. Oregon history. Keep track of how many you get right to find out if you would have topped this week's winner!

Then Cody and Tyson face-off in a little league pick 'em action, before the episode wraps up with Tyson and David trading some SEC vs. PAC barbs (all in good fun, of course!)

Let us know what you think in the text thread, through comments on the podcast page, or over on Marco Polo. Cody wants to know if YOU'VE tried the Ghost Toast KitKat, his selection for Halloween Candy of the Year.

As always, thanks for listening!

On this week's episode of WCW David and Cody are joined by special guest, Annie Layton, aka Sneaky Petes. Annie gives a little biography, talks about her experience with fantasy football and how she's liking dynasty football so far, plus registers her complaint about the Matchup against the Median format.

Annie gets put to the test on her Taylor Swift knowledge in a head-to-head matchup against David in a Swiftie Trivia contest. And while the final result might not surprise you, perhaps how CLOSE of a contest it was might!

David wraps up the episode by pitting Cody and Annie against each in a pick 'em battle and a Hard Pass, Full Glass contest (Cody remains undefeated until David finally tabulates the results from previous weeks).

Please let us know what you think about the episode in our text thread, on Polo, OR by leaving a comment on the episode page. Yes, you CAN do that, as Tahj knows-- we FINALLY approved his comments for public display TWO MONTHS after he made them because we didn't realize we had to approve them first! But we have that figured out so please leave those comments!

And, as always, thanks for listening!

On this week's episode, David and Cody talk a bit about the previous week's matchups, diving into the Weekly Report that Sleeper generates. David defends his statements about Tahj and his luck, which turns into a conversation about just how much luck really is involved in fantasy sports.

The two take a look at the state of the league at roughly the halfway point of the season, weighing in on who has a shot at capturing the three at large playoff berths, discussing which division has the best chance at sending more than one team to the postseason (spoiler alert: it's Can't Lose, obviously).

Cody and David issue an open invitation for Annie, Mike, and Tyson SPECIFICALLY to join them on the podcast, and a more general invitation to everyone.

Share your thoughts on the episode in the text thread or on Marco Polo, and as always, thanks for listening!

First things first-- WE'VE HIT 30 EPISODES! Hurray to us!

On to business-- this week we are joined by a special guest Jake Loden, aka The Townie, aka Your Go To Man For PNW Real Estate needs, aka The People's Champ BILLY RIGGINS.

Jake talks shop about the landscape changing trade between his team and the Fighting Amish-- what was happening behind the scenes and the thought process involved, and all three discuss some ramifications for the league.

Next they tackle some head-to-head quick picks, discuss some specifics on each matchup, and David and Cody wrap it all up by talking a little bit about what next year's draft class could look like, which leads to the creation of a future segment of the show where we discuss some upcoming rookies in future years.

Please let us know YOUR picks for the week, any thoughts you have the game changing trades that happened lately, AND remember: the elephant vanishes!

As always, thanks for listening.

Folks! This episode is about a week late. Oops! -- it was recorded last week before several big trades, and before any of the week's real life football action took place. But we're going to post it ANYWAY because it's interesting to hear some of the predictions for matchup results AND the trade advice Cody and David offer up with the ability to look BACK with what we know now.

David and Cody do indeed talk trade advice, make predictions for the matchups, AND give one important college game day predition as well!

Also, I (Cody) know that none of you read this part anyway. So what does it matter what I put in the description of the episode? Tell you what, I'll make you a deal-- if you read this, post in the WCR text thread this exact phrase: the elephant vanishes.

If you are the VERY FIRST person to do so (minus myself, of course, or David), I will Venmo you $5.

In addition, if you read this and are the first person to SAY the secret phrase (the elephant vanishes) in our league Marco Polo, you will get an additional $5.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to week four! In this episode, David and Cody briefly recap the action from week three, discussing who at the top is and legit contender, and who is a legit PRETENDER.

The two turn their attention to the slate of games for week four, making some predictions about wins and how some key players will perform.

Our hosts also discuss the need to NOT give up just yet on the year, but some teams MIGHT want to start giving up on some players. They also suggest a few trade ideas and close the episode by making a few predictions about the college games on tap for the week.

Make sure you offer your own predicitions in the text thread or over on the polo stream, and as always, thanks for listening!

Don't look now but it's A THIRD EPISODE IN A ROW Y'ALL! This week our intrepid hosts David and Cody take a look back at the week 2 action in a SURPRISING week of upsets in real football. They discuss what surprises them so far in the fantasy season and how injuries and waiver wire pickups are already drastically shaping the season.

The two turn to the week ahead, examing each and every matchup for the week. David brings back an old classion, asking Cody to make some predicitions. Cody picks each and every matchup AND chooses a Hard Pass or a Full Glass for a key player on each team.

We encourage you to make your OWN predictions and submit them on the Polo thread OR the text string. As always, thank you so much for listening!
