This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me tonight. It's my buddy Nate. Tice Nate. How are you? Doing great. I hope you had a great Christmas. Hopefully you got everything you wanted besides an easy fantasy championship win. I definitely did not get that. I have been going since Friday and I will be going into tomorrow night. It has been an excruciating weekend of fantasy

football. I'm sure everyone wants to hear about. I did have a very nice Christmas. That was very nice to see my family. I hope you enjoyed it as well. I did. I did. Got a couple of nice gifts. You know, it is funny. It is a meme at this point where you say you get the new socks and you're happy about it, but it is true.

Absolutely.

I knew a couple button downs, get the new socks and you're happy about it, but it is true.

Absolutely. I knew a couple button downs, new couple pairs socks and like a couple board games for me. And I'm set. That's like, that's all. I'm 31 years old. I am set. You, so you were tweeting about this this weekend. It is a side of you that I'm excited for people to learn about as we do the show more often. You are like an epic board game weirdo. You play very strange esoteric board games that no one

has ever heard about. And it is a part of your life that I do not understand, but I fully

appreciate. I'm just, I'm early on the trend. I, you know, like it's, I think more people are going to appreciate like kind of these modern board games, but it's a way for me to like, as I become more of a home body, and also just be competitive, like put my brain to work like because my brain's, 100% firing, 100 or hovering different directions. And it's a way to be competitive. And it turns out my wife is a lot more competitive than I realized.

So we started playing these board games.

And I was like, oh, okay.

Yeah, I'm with the right one because she-

Yeah, you've opened up the Pandora's box here. You're going down a road that might be a little bit dangerous for you at some point. I keep poking the bear, though. So week 16, not only is the fantasy championship weekend, it is a massive weekend for playoff implications.

We're going to be getting into a lot of that.

We had some shocking results. week 16 not only is the fantasy championship weekend it is a massive weekend for

playoff implications we're going to be getting into a lot of that we had some shocking

results that are going to set some dominoes into motion for who's going to make the playoffs

and who's not we're going to talk about the steelers beating the colts in a massive comeback that

was probably the game of the week we're going to get to the cardinals laying an egg a

ridiculous finish between the dolphins and the Raiders,

a five-minute stretch that I still don't fully understand.
