This is an IHeart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

Hey, everybody.

It's Thursday, January 8th, 2026.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy football podcast where we're available to consult on coaching hires. So me, your man, M.G. Mark is joined by Michael F. Florio and Laquan Jones. Peep behind the curtain. A lot of these intros are just stuff that's like on my mind, usually when we start the show. And part of this is because I have, against my will, been in long text chains about what the Raiders should do with their head coaching hire.

At the beginning, I kind of care.

So I'll say this, right?

You guys know I am a 49ers fan.

But, you know, the Raiders were in Oakland when I was a kid, and they moved back to Oakland at some point.

So, like, they're still kind of the Bay Area's team.

And so while I'm a Niner fan, I do have a soft spot in my heart for the Raiders,

and I would like to see them figure it out on some level and be competitive again.

But, like, after, like, you know, 16 or 17 texts about like what they should do with a head coach and a draft pick.

I mean, it got to like, we need to trade Max Crosby and just blow the whole thing up and start a rebuild.

Like it got to that point.

I was kind of like, all right, well, I'm going to I'm going to go play chess on my phone.

Why do you guys figure this out? That's where we are right now. I kind of wish you were a Raiders fan, man. That would have been awesome. I think you... Why, you want me to be sad on this show every week? I don't know, man. It might be a different universe with you as a Raiders fan. Like, I don't know. Maybe we'll get more long on the pod.

I mean, look, one of us is willing to say nice things about the other person's team.

It's you that.

I like your players.

I just don't like the team or the fan base.

That's been very clear for how long we didn't do in this pod.
