| 0:00.0 | Mr. Dave Richard, hello. And a pleasant, good morning to you, Fred. How are things? I tell you, I did the best I've ever done in fantasy, but it wasn't enough to get me in the playoffs. That's terrible. I'm bummed to hear that. I know you were having a good year and you still couldn't get in the playoffs. Even Mike Lockhart said that I got screwed. And he's the president of the league. |
| 0:22.6 | I've heard of commissioners of the leagues. |
| 0:24.4 | I didn't know. |
| 0:25.0 | Oh, he's the press, baby. He's the president. He says something. You do it. It's almost biblical. It's almost biblical. We were having a discussion off the air, Dave Richard, yesterday about, like, there's some that penalize people, or there's a limit to the amount of moves that you can make during a season. |
| 0:42.1 | What do you think should be the limit of moves that someone should make during a regular |
| 0:45.8 | season? |
| 0:46.4 | I think if it's laid out in advance, then you can set a limit of, say, 30 transactions, not |
| 0:53.5 | including trades over the course of the season. That's about two per, more than two per week for the regular season. But I don't think that's necessarily fair. I don't think that's the right thing to do. I think that, you know, fantasy football is supposed to be fun, and this is a free country that we live in. So you should be able to make as many moves as you want. Yeah, who cares? No, because it takes away the importance of the draft. |
| 1:16.9 | Well, no, because those players are gone. |
| 1:18.9 | No, you're talking about Wiferwire guys. |
| 1:20.5 | I mean, yeah, but if you take, but if you, it cheapens the draft. |
| 1:24.7 | If you don't draft well, you can compensate for it via making moves. |
| 1:29.9 | Two a week is insane. |
| 1:32.2 | I mean, that's enough. |
| 1:33.6 | But there are guys in this league running out of these moves, |
| 1:36.9 | lickety split, bitching at the press about, you know, |
| 1:41.4 | saying I ain't changing the rules. |
| 1:43.6 | Come on, Dave. Oh, no, I disagree with you the rules. Come on, Dave. |
| 1:45.0 | Oh, no, I disagree with you on this one. |
| 1:46.9 | Well, Dave, it was nice talking to you. |
| 1:49.8 | But the draft is important, but I think that transactions and using the waiver |
| 1:55.2 | wire is a huge key to winning in fantasy football. Maybe the problem here, Fred, |
