| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Beryl's episode number 107. Derek Van Riper here at Enoseres. It is Thursday, June 25th. On this episode, we have a few more details about the 2020 season. A lot of information about how you might handle your fantasy leagues, how the NFBC has handled, leagues that were already drafted over the last several months. In just kind of a overall realization that even as we get more information on the rules and |
| 0:42.3 | protocols and procedures for this season, everything is subject to change. |
| 0:47.1 | There are going to be so many questions that we face in the next five to six months. |
| 0:52.7 | And the answer to many of them, at least right now, is I don't know. |
| 0:56.5 | And I think that's increasingly obvious as team officials are speaking to the media on |
| 1:03.3 | kind of a regular basis now for interviews and for pieces. |
| 1:06.2 | And obviously, there's a lot of questions to be answered about roster construction and |

| 1:31.9 | It's a better feeling, you know, than where we've been before. |
| 1:38.2 | Like, before it was like, I don't know what's going to happen. |
| 1:42.0 | Murder Hornets and COVID and like, you know, some big storm is coming, I'm sure. |
| 1:48.2 | But we had tornadoes. |
| 1:50.8 | This one is like a little bit better because it's like, I don't know what's going to happen. |
| 1:54.8 | It could be really fun. |
| 1:56.1 | Assuming that we make it to the season and through the season safely, it's going to be a lot of fun |
| 2:01.7 | because we've never seen anything like it. |
