Hey, everybody.

It's Wednesday, July 10th, 2024.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy football podcast where we're ready to compete for a starting job.

Me, your man, M.G. Mark, is joined by Michael F. Florio and Laquan Jones. And happy Wednesday, gentlemen.

We're twice a week. Are we ready? It's not two a days. It's like two weeks. Are we ready for two weeks yet?

It's about that time. It's almost a redraft season. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's about, it's time to start. I like the slow ramp up. So we do this in July and then August we get even more. And then September, it's full cent. Then it's like full same. Full send. We're burnt out by week eight. So I don't know about you guys. Like I have always sort of separated the season into like thirds where like the first like six weeks or so. I'm like it's new and it's fun and we're excited and we're learning new things. And then like, you know, weeks like seven through 12 or 13, you're kind of like, all right, here we are. We're in the middle of it.

We're just grinding.

Like we're just, you know, whatever.

And it's like week 13, 14. It's like, oh my God, like make this be over, please. It's just like, because you're just, you're running out of gas. It's not that you hate it, but you're just running out of gas. and you can see the light at the end of the tunnel

and you see that the fantasy playoffs are coming

and you're just,'re just trying to swim to the other shore

that's exactly what it is like I gain so much like I gain so much weight week seven

to 13 if we want to break it down like that because it's like I'm stressed and I'm watching

football on the couch.

I'm not really being active. I'm not dis-golfing. I'm not doing the things I love to do on the weekend because I'm grinding. I'm just grinding because like I will probably, you know, I usually start. I usually start the season right around a buck 85 or so and I'm fine until you hit Thanksgiving. it from Thanksgiving to New Year's.

Like, if I can get out of New Year's, like, below 200 pounds, then that's a win. That's a win. That's a win. That is a win. On top of it all, that's the period of the point of the season where, like, the wacky stuff, like all of a sudden, Case Keenum is going to throw for $3.50 or something like that in a random game.

And we're supposed to know that.

Right.

Yeah, that's exactly what.

Because, you know, the teams are beat up.
