“Dude, crazy election.
Kind of surprising. But it's not super surprising, because people will think the country is not being run well. So then they go to the opposite party.
You know, it goes like, like since 2012, 2012 Democrat, 2016 Republican, 2020 Democrat, 2024 Republican. It kind of can go back and forth like that, because then people will be displeased with the state of the country. And then they say, how can we make this better?
That's just my two cents. So pretty surprising though, that I can't believe Trump is going to be the president. But then also, I think, Americans, they like a rich, independent, criminal guy who got shot in the face.
That's like 10% of America right there. But so then, I think he gets like more credit for surviving that stuff, I think. But anyway, it's insane.

307 walks, 362 strikeouts, 342 on base.
Good for 76 points higher than his BA.
OPS 708, OPS Plus subscribers out there. Only 89 below average. 991 total bases.

“This is the podcast from a cozy, cozy bed.
It's 30 degrees out there.
Russell Wilson, Dangerous, The Asterisk, Mr. Unlimited, Robot Russell, 5'11, 206, with the Steelers, November 29th, 1988, Cincinnati, born, Wisconsin, North Carolina State, Wolfpack, yeah. Went to high school in Virginia. Third round pick, 75th overall, by the Seahawks.
What a great draft pick.
2012 draft, nine-time Pro Bowler, one-time Super Bowl champ, 2020 Walter Payton Award. Where's slash war number three? One game this season, two touchdown passes, 264 yards, 189 games, 179 average value, 64.7% completion, 43,917 yards, 336 touchdown passes.
He's just way up there on the rankings. Can't believe I have never done a episode on Russell.
He's definitely a Hall of Famer.
Russell Wilson should be a Hall of Famer. Played his first 10 seasons with the Seahawks, then 2022 to the Broncos for two seasons, now with the Steelers. 116.72 and won his record.
Amazing win-loss record there. Let's see, 106 interceptions. So that's a really good...
That's more than three touchdowns for every interception. Only 1.9% interception, 13 the most in a season in 2020. But only five seasons of his 12 has he thrown double[…]”

“Thirty-one degrees out there. I learned my lesson yesterday. All right.
I was sitting in the cold, wet grass. The breeze was blowing. I was doing the podcast yesterday.
And that says, I'm gonna do it in bed. From now on, that's what I do during the winter, dude. I love doing the pod outside, but when it's 30 degrees, I crank the heat up, because it gets chilly in here.
And I do the podcast. I haven't even gotten out of bed yet. Eight for 12 on the field, five for seven from three point, 15 minutes, 22 points, and five rebounds for Buddy Heeled yesterday in his Warriors debut.
He's the leading scorer for the Warriors in his first game with them. So they crushed the Blazers, 139 to 104.
Why is, well, let's just run through a couple, some of the other scorers. Pacers over Pistons, Hawks beat the Nets, Magic crushed the Heats, Bucks took care of the Sixers, Cavs crushed the Raptors, Hornets got by the Rockets, Pelicans beat the Bulls, but Dejante Murray, what did he, he got like a, broke his hand or something. He'll be out for a while.
It's unfortunate[…]”

“Gonna be going to the December 30th Cougs game. That is at Spokane Arena.
That's a Monday, 6.30, West Coast. It'll be on ESPN Plus. Perhaps you can see it somewhere else, but that's kind of random.
They play Loyola, Marimount, LMU, out of LA. There we go. We typically will go to that game.
We went last year. They played Boise State. Cougs got a big victory.
It was their best basketball season since 08, since pre-Clay Thompson. All right, let's do it, baby. Speaking of basketball, Patty Mills, Patty Cakes, Pat Stacks, 6'2, 180.
He's with the Utah Jazz now. August 11th, 1988, 36. Out of Canberra, Australia.
Patrick Sammy Mills, 15 years experience. Another, we're doing the old guys, the veterans of the NBA. War number 8, now 88.
892 games, 8.8. Lots of 8 points per game. 1.6 boards, 2.2 assists.
January 4th, 2010, debuted. Second round, 25th pick in that round, 55th overall, 09 NBA draft. Drafted by the Blazers of Portland.
Shout out, beautiful Pacific Northwest. PNW, they should call them the PNW Blazers until they bring back the Sonics. Sounds like, I mean, the Sonics very well may be coming back within[…]”

Viking Man puts up the huge points to fly by PPE and even his record led by a balanced attack.
Sam’s Town gains his third win in a Hawkeyes crushing with Jalen Hurts as the QB1 for the league this week. Goathouse Squad gets strong TE and special teams play to move above .500 as he narrowly skates past Tenacious D in the matchup of the week. B Team is the fifth team to score 100+ and solidifies her .500 record and four game win streak with solid RB play as she just edges out a red-hot Pink Panthers. Trophy Wife is second place in the standings after CeeDee Lamb goes HAM and she outscores Spokane Retrievers. Finally, in the Pooper Bowl of the Week, Whammy gets a great Bo Nix showing (three words: Bo dang Nix) and is lucky enough to play the lowest scoring team (MT Moose) as he is the second-lowest but a dub is a W.
Hawkeyes grabs his first fiver of the season with a wonderful week of pool pickin.
Good luck to all in week 9 - this playoff race is getting interesting!
Goathouse Squad gets big RB play from Conner and Gibbs (of the Cardinals and Lions, not of the 80s buddy cop show) and hands Whammy his first loss in a drubbing.
MT Moose also rides a solid run game to a huge victory over Spokane Retrievers. Viking Man has the best rushing attack of all three teams - he rides the three-headed monster of Josh Jacobs, Aaron Jones and Bijan Robinson to a crushing of Trophy Wife. Pink Panthers is scorching hot as she marches to a five game win streak with the help of her RBs as Kareem Hunt and Alexander Mattison had nice scores and she gets by Hawkeyes (shout-out Will Reichard who hit three long field goals). The second hottest team in the AFFL is B Team as she notches a three game win streak with a huge Lamar Jackson game to sneak past Sam’s Town. In the closest matchup of the week (which was still only a 6 point game - we typically see much closer games than this week), PPE outscores Tenacious D with a balanced attack.
Sam’s Town gets just enough in the picks to get by Pink Panthers and grab this week’s Lincoln note.
Good luck to all in week 8 - with half the regular season remaining and only three games separating second and last place, everyone is still in this playoff race!
Five teams score at least 112 as Pink Panthers leads the way with a balanced attack to run past MT Moose.
PPE finds the win column with a solid kicking game from Bates Motel to fly by Hawkeyes. In the matchup of the day, Tenacious D gets just enough from his Tampa guys to outscore a rowdy Spokane Retrievers squad. Cole Kmet is kman for Whammy as he holds off Viking Man to stay unbeaten. David Montgomery signed a two year extension and put up a 20 spot for Trophy Wife as she crushes Sam’s Town. Romeo, oh Romeo, where art thou fantasy production? Doubs scores a pair of TDs for B Team as she wanders past Goathouse Squad for her second W.
Spokane Retrievers takes home the fiver again as the trend of the top teams winning the weekly $ continues - the top two pool pickers have won three of the six weeks (PPE and SPO).
Good luck to all in week 7 - let the good points roll!
Spokane Retrievers posts 127 with all five of their RB/WR scoring at least 12 as they fly past Hawkeyes.
Pink Panthers also goes large with a huge showing from late 90s boy band Joey B to skate by Sam’s Town. Viking Man gets solid points from his TE/K/D to crush MT Moose. Goathouse Squad is the fourth team to score triple digits as he gets a good QB/K game to hand Trophy Wife her first loss. Lamar and Ja’Marr score most of the points for B Team as she drubs Tenacious D to get in the win column. Finally, in the only somewhat close matchup of the week, Whammy stays undefeated and PPE remains defeated as Whammy gets just enough from a balanced attack.
In good news for PPE, he remains at the top of pool picks and takes this week’s fiver with a low high score of 73.
Good luck to all this week - keep your eyes on that bobblehead prize!
Pink Panthers is the only triple digit scorer this week with a solid showing from her trio of wideouts to move past Goathouse Squad.
Viking Man gets his first victory with a huge kicking game from Koo as he crushes Spokane Retrievers. Trophy Wife remains unbeaten as she holds off Tenacious D with a balanced attack led by another big Daniels game. Whammy also stays undefeated with a monster D-Henry statline Sunday night on NBC as he gets just enough to get by a scuffling B Team who is still in search of her first dub. Sam’s Town has a good game led by Nico Collins to fly by PPE who is also trying to find the win column. In the matchup of the week, Hawkeyes barely outscores MT Moose despite a Monday night performance for the ages by Kenny Walker III who had three touchdowns but ultimately just not enough yardage (Hawkeyes’ Tony Pollard had 88 rushing yards in the other Monday night game to Walker’s 80).
Spokane Retrievers snatches the Lincoln note as he is the only triple digit picker this week - also solidifying his second place position in those standings behind B Team. Speaking of B Team, she unfortunately got the boot from Survivor this week as the Steelers fell in Indy and Pat McAfee leapt in joy.
Good luck to our teams this week - we are still all in this playoff race!
