| 0:00.0 | This is the All World Receiver T Higgins man and only the real ones know that Mac Kelly is a fantasy guru. |
| 0:08.0 | The Popfather is the best in the cane. |
| 0:12.0 | Who day? Best Ball is great. It's more popular than ever and it's only going to become more popular. |
| 0:33.0 | But it's worth remembering that Best Ball started as something called Draftmaster. |
