Welcome to the fantasy throw down podcast bringing you the latest in sports news fantasy analysis and opinions don't forget the hot takes can have a sports show without hot takes these days.

What about hot cakes though? I want some hot cakes these days. What about hot cakes though? Mm, I want some hot cakes. Now here's your host, ready to jump into the thick of things. Duane calendar.

Hello and welcome to the show everybody. It's been an extended break not

exactly planned on my part. I've been unfortunately going through some medical issues.

So, you know, long story short, I had to get knee surgery.

So I got a big old knee brace, can't bend my knee at the the moment which makes recording and podcasts quite a bit of an ordeal

but I am a man of the people and the people have asked for my commentary on certain things that have happened since I've been away so we're going to get into that but because of everything that's been going on I've been having to record things and

bits and pieces so

here's how this is gonna go

today's episode is gonna focus on the NFL draft just because that's coming up

uh... on thursday night so parts of this episode just because that's coming up on Thursday night.

So parts of this episode are going to be recorded a couple of days

before, but this is going to be kind of my mock projections.

Some of the other stuff that's been going on with the NBA

NHL talking about what happened in some of these

playoff series which have been absolutely crazy.

We're gonna get to it.

It'll probably be released later on the week, so bear with me. I'm doing the best I can, folks.

But, you know, without much further ado, we're going to talk NFL draft here and I will say this as a preface for the

NFL draft.

This is where you see the halves and have-nots fully expand because this is where you know the dynamics of

sports and politics kind of intertwine and the reason why I say politics, I don't mean actual political politics, I mean office politics.
