Hey everyone, welcome back to the Finns and Fruits football podcast. I'm Bobby Sylvester with Mike Tagliere as always and today we have two guests, first Matt camp of the Bleach Report and serious XM, then former NFL player Ross Tucker of NBC.

0:30.0

I'm gonna send a serious XM NFL radio to Axis going to be fun man. It is going to be a good day. It's already started as a good day man.

0:37.0

On yesterday's show we had Brandon. I told you talked about John Ross and the fact that Brandon LaFell should be cut and I wake up this morning.

0:45.0

I get down to my computer and all of a sudden I see a tweet that goes out that says Brandon LaFell's agent has announced that he's been released.

0:51.0

John Ross is released. Well John Ross was not released. He is free to be a good fantasy football player.

0:57.0

He's released upon the fantasy world. That's what I meant. I'm sorry. That's all good. We will talk about that a little bit here in a couple of other news items.

1:04.0

Then we're going to talk about positional battles later in the show with Ross Tucker. But first we wanted to cover common draft mistakes to avoid with Matt camp.

1:11.0

Matt can be found on Twitter at the Matt camp. I'm at Bobby fantasy pro in Tags is at Mike Tagliere and Fell. Matt, thanks for coming to the show. Happy football season.

1:20.0

Good to be back with you guys and yes, Mike and I were talking about off the show. You can only talk about last year so much before we need new information and new things to happen.

1:31.0

Not injuries were good with those. I know it's we're all going to be biting our nails for the next month, especially if you're doing early drafts, but be good to actually sink our teeth into things happening in 2018.

1:41.0

Yeah, so I want to talk to you about John Ross, but first I understand Matt the you host a podcast about Japanese wrestling American style. We're going to need to know more about this man.

1:51.0

I am a big pro wrestling fan. I do work in the pro wrestling industry during the off season and during the regular season. Well, I call a play by play guy for House of Hardcore for all the CW fans that Tom. It's Tommy Dreamers promotion. So I'm a play by play guy there, but I have followed wrestling my entire life and kind of has a fun thing.

2:10.0

I host the foreign ACEs podcast, a couple of friends of mine wrestling in Japan is on usually like a 14 hour time difference. So for the big shows I am up at three four five in the morning watching the shows.

2:24.0

Because I you know as I tell me wife well, it's all wrestling and I do some right wrestling radio on serious. So it's work. It's okay. It's work. It's okay for me to get up at four o'clock in the morning because it's work. So and I sold a couple t shirts. So she's okay with it, which is I just got to keep that straight up guys.

2:42.0

There is no reason to ever be awake at four o'clock in the morning. Do you agree with me tags? No, I don't agree with you actually. I mean me personally. I'm typically up by 530 and most of the like the latest.

2:53.0

I don't know if I tell myself I want to sleep in and I'm going to take like night pool or something like that. The latest I think I've slept in the like the last five years is like seven o'clock. That sucks. I can't get up later than that. So I'm I'm with Matt on this one. It's like the whole sleep when you die. I just feel like there's never enough time in a day to get done what I want to get done. So get up. Get after it.

3:12.0

I also go to sleep at like six p.m. So that doesn't count. Oh stop it. I do not I go to bed at 10 p.m. I am not shy about that. I am I'm not someone who stays up late. I just get crabby and I'm tired. I just want to lay in bed put on a movie and falsely.

3:25.0

I'm the complete opposite. I go to bed at like two thirty three o'clock in the morning every single day and during the season it goes even later. I feel like that's what I do like all my work. I don't know why but that's you know. Oh it's five o'clock. No, I can't do work. Now it's too early, huh?

3:38.0

Wait, so everyone in the world goes to bed and then I'll work. So Matt I wanted to ask you about John Ross. Obviously we brainless fellow being cut. There's a better chance that John Ross is going to start.

3:49.0

I expect his 80 p average draft position to soar through the roof right now he's being drafted at the very end of drafts undrafted in a lot of leagues. Matt, just how high do you think John Ross is going to start being drafted at this point?

4:02.0

I don't think it'll rise too much just because last year was so disappointing and this may get into our discussion on draft mistakes but you know those those those kind of years leave that awful taste in people's mouths and that's it. They'll put him out of their heads forever and maybe part of it is also because it's the Cincinnati Bengals and it's still Andy Dalton.

4:21.0

I mean I even have trepidation about AJ green because I don't want to rely on Andy Dalton so I can imagine what people think of someone like John Ross and I you know I kind of wish to was a new regime there. It looked like we might get one and Marvin Lewis is back once again and unfortunately I know he's not the offensive guy.
