Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, and this is a weird episode to do. I'm not going to lie. If you read the title, you know this is a big one. It is very different than our usual shows, that's for sure. And that is because after 12 years, I've decided to bring an end to my time at the score. And I'm doing that with a lot of happiness and a lot of gratitude towards the company.

I mean, they've been so good to me for so long. It's been such a wild ride, especially the past eight seasons when I became the lead fantasy analyst, when I started doing this show. And I just, I couldn't be more grateful to the score for giving me all the opportunities that they have. It's been such an amazing run. and, you know, a decision to change things up and to go in a different direction like this,

it doesn't come over. opportunities that they have. It's been such an amazing run and, you know, a decision to change

things up and to go in a different direction like this, it doesn't come overnight. And I think

if you've been following my content, you probably know how much thought and consideration I put

into things. But the bottom line is I just recognized it's time for a new challenge. So this is

my last show with the score. i don't have anything to announce

yet in terms of where you're going to find my content in the future those decisions are for another

day but you can follow me on social media of course if you're not already on x on blue sky at

justin boone and when i do have news about my next step i will be sure to let you know and i want to say

don't worry because i promise i will be back before the season gets underway. I will be pumping out content as usual. So when the time comes, you will have my rankings and my trade value charts and all that good stuff to help you win your leagues. And I'm really excited about getting to work on those things this summer and to get back into regular season mode when the time comes. But I just wanted to jump on here and make sure that you knew this was my last show. I didn't just want to disappear out of nowhere. And I really appreciate the score for giving me the opportunity to say some goodbyes, to fire off a few thank yous, because there's a lot of people who helped play a part in the success of this show and the success that I've had during my time with the company. And the first thank you has to go out to all of you, everybody who listened to the show, everyone who followed and supported my content at the score, who asked questions in the mailbags, who asked questions during the Twitter takeovers. I mean, watching the numbers grow over the years, I've said this before, but it constantly blew me away. And a lot of the opportunities that I've been given, they don't happen without all of you supporting my work. So thank you for being there season after season. Thank you for all the kind words that you've sent me over the years. I hope you know how much I appreciate that. I really do. And I look forward to continuing to build, continue to get better and

to keep that bar very, very high wherever I end up. Now, I also have to thank the guests that we've

had on the show. So many of them that became regulars to, which was phenomenal. And I shouldn't highlight

anybody specific because inevitably, I'm probably going to forget someone important to me, but

some of the ones that came on every year like J.J. Zacharison and Ian Hartetz and Jamie Eisenberg, Derek Brown, my guy Dibro, Dwayne McFarlane, Sigmund, Sigmund, Chris Allen, Ben Gretsch. I knew I shouldn't have started naming people because now I'm going to try to name everybody and I definitely don't have time for that. But a few more here like Rich Rebar, John Paulson, Tara Roberts, Pat Fitzmorest, Edwin Porras.

I mean, of course, our late friend Mike Taglier, who at the time that Tags passed,

he had the record for most guest appearances on the show.

And I'm pretty confident he would probably still hold that record if he were here

with us today. But I've just been so lucky to make all these great connections, to make so many

friends in the industry. And I've been fortunate that they make time every year, sometimes

multiple times a year to join me on this show. So thank you to all the people that I named
