0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast. I'm Liz Loza. Seated beside me is Matt Harmon. And just off to the side is producer Brett. And we are back for our first of two shows this week. Last week we premiered our two shows per week, which we will continue to do throughout football season, but no guests.
0:22.8	I know. Now it says back to me and you.
0:24.7	Just us. You know what else is the same? The Antonio Brown talk. We talked about this last
0:29.2	week with Brad Evans, and the drama has continued. Now, it went from, it is a head-to-toe
0:37.2	conversation, right? Or I should say,
0:40.0	tow-to-head, actually. We've got to make the whole rounds here with Antonio Brown's body.
0:45.2	Right. His feet looked shaved, like just shaved, like giant swaths of skin hanging from it.

1:19.5	But maybe the reason he wants the unsafe helmet is because he's been wearing an unsafe helmet.
1:27.6	Yes, because last year the players were allowed to have a grace period where they could still
1:31.6	wear their unsafe helmets.
1:33.2	And they weren't, quote, unsafe.
1:34.4	They were just like they were raided.
1:36.4	They were raided.
1:36.4	Yeah, I mean, it wasn't like he's out there wearing a damn snapback hat.
1:40.2	You know, he's out there wearing a helmet.
1:42.3	Like some Von Dutch hat like it's the early odds.
