What is up?

Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Live podcast.

This man, meet your man, M.G. Marcus Grant alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer, Michael Fabiano, and the next-gen-stats guru, Graham Barfield. Happy July, fellas. Dude, where did the first, like, six months of this year go? Yeah. We're like halfway, more than halfway to Christmas. Wow. It's insane. It goes fast every year, every year just faster and faster and faster. I mean, it's funny because, you know, since I've been working here for a number of years, I talk to people, I tell them what I do. And they always say, so what do you do in the off season? And I just laugh. Like, what is this off season you talk about? There's still stuff to do. I have no idea what you're talking about. Yeah. So, like I said, NFL summer is like six weeks long. It's like from June 1st to about July 15th. So we got a couple weeks left because then training camp opens. And NFL summer is over. And yeah, that's it, man. I'm trying to get, like, all my social events sort of like, hey, I got to play golf with these people before, you know, we get rolling, got to hang out with these people, got to see these people. Because once we get to the end of this month, like, it's all over for the social life. What Labor what Labor Day is to most of America,

July 4th is to like to the NFL media.

It's so funny when I explain that to my friends too.

It's just like, yeah, I'm on summer now. It's just like, dude, it's barely summer. It's like, well, for me, I have to go back to work. It's pretty much over. Yeah, exactly. It's pretty out, Joe.

I got plenty to talk about.

We'll do another round of hype train or smoke screen.

There's some stories that hit the news recently.

We'll talk to Joe P. We'll do another round of hype train or smoke screen.

There's some stories that hit the news recently.

We'll talk to Joe P. Sapia, who is the author of the fantasy black book friend of the program as well.

Get his thoughts on some of the issues in fantasy football right now.

We'll have another fantasy draft of things just in time for the big holiday, which, by the way,

is why we are coming to you a little bit earlier this week. In fact, this is a good time to remind you. We will be off next week. They will be doing some renovations here in the studio. So we felt like between that and the fact that training camp's about to start, felt like that was a good time for us to kind of go dark for a week.

You don't want to come in here with a hard hat?

No, not really.

Banging away.

I mean, I feel like if I show up here, they may hand me like a hammer or a wrench and tell me to do something.

Yeah, there's a dude who like, you know, sits outside of our door sort of ominously.
