0:00.0	Welcome to the Ringer Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Hype. Today I'm joined by Danny, and Craig Rolbeck, and we are going over all the players. You should add entering week 15, but first, we are going to have to talk about a genuine fantasy football catastrophe that was the Eagles Chargers Monday Day football game. Danny Kelly, I think, is angrier than I have ever seen him for anything ever in the regular season that did not involve
0:39.2	his own team. DeK how are you?
0:41.0	I think this game by Jalen Hertz goes in the, it goes on Mount Rushmore of like the most
0:47.3	frustrating maddening infuriating games of all time for fantasy.
0:52.2	Like right up there in my mind with Alvin Camara scoring six touchdowns.
0:56.2	Was it on Christmas Day that he used that? Yes, it was. Yeah. Christmas miracle six touchdown game to boot my
1:02.0	like really good team out of the playoffs. Jalen Hertz just taking a giant steaming dump on all of us.
1:08.9	Why? What did he like throw a pick
1:10.9	and fumble the ball in the same play somehow? He's the first player ever to have two turnovers in one play. The freaking guy, he had five turnovers, four picks. This guy had four picks. He doesn't, he refuses to throw a pick the rest of the fucking season. And then he throws four picks and fumbles in this game.
1:28.3	Yeah.

1:28.3	Yeah.

So first of all, he didn't get zero. He got 0.4. Okay. So I did not have to shotgun because as you guys know in my league, shotgunning is if you get a zero or less.
1:47.7	Yeah. He got 0.4. Okay. So I did not have to shotgun because as you guys know in my league, shotguning is if you get a zero or less.
1:47.7	Yeah.
1:48.7	However, I was sweating this game down to the very last second because not only was a shotgun at play, we have this thing called the snake bag where if you, like if you're the last person to shotgun in any given season, you have to pay,
2:03.4	I forget what it is.
2:04.3	Like, it was, it came out to like $100.
2:06.3	It was basically, I think, $5 for every shotgun that happened over the whole season.
2:09.9	So I was like, not only going to have to shotgun a beer, I was going to have to pay someone,
