Hello and welcome to PFF Fancy Football Podcast. I'm your host Ian Hartz and today we continue

our fancy final series with a look at Austin Eccler. People I've been chastised on social

media a few times over the years. I'm used to it. It's okay. Worse part about the job.

I got to deal with some mean things from people I'm never going to see. That's okay.

When I do live by the idea that you shouldn't take criticism from people, you wouldn't take

advice from. So not a big deal, but this is how it usually goes. PFF pulls out a quote from

I don't know. I understand people, you know, my Twitter avatar has Johnny Depp playing

Hunter S. Thompson. I am nowhere near, not good looking. I never will be. But what does

constitute a fancy analyst face that you would take an opinion from? Whatever, I'll see

I figured out if my take is bad though, people just shit on it because it's bad. And really

none of these these don't ever really bring me off in a great light. And with that said,
