| 0:00.0 | Rap back where you at? |
| 0:13.8 | Yo, what's going on? |
| 0:16.0 | It's Wednesday, August 27th. |
| 0:17.9 | I'm Jeff. |
| 0:18.5 | This is the rant. |
| 0:19.7 | And yes. |
| 0:23.6 | We got our answer. We didn't have to wait until September 30th. I'm Jeff. This is the rant. And yes, we got our answer. We didn't have to wait until September 30th. We got our answer here today on August 27th regarding Rashi Rice's suspension. |
| 0:29.8 | So I want to break it down all the different angles. How do we handle Rashi Rice in remaining drafts? |
| 0:34.7 | How do we handle him if we already drafted him? What are we doing with Mahomes, with Kelsey, with Worthy, with Hollywood Brown? Maybe even him. We'll get into all of that here so you know exactly what to do. Of course, before I talk about that, I got to tell you, I'm at FtnFantasy.com. Fortunately, I didn't hit published before this news came out, |
| 0:55.0 | but updated rankings, cheat sheets, everything across the board is fully set, and it's going to |
| 1:00.3 | continue to be fully set as we go through Labor Day weekend. I know how important it is. I know |
| 1:05.0 | that's all the final fantasy football drafts out there. I know you need the information. You're going to |
| 1:09.4 | have the information at FtnFantasy.com. We have a draft kit subscription for those who just want draft information. It's a lower price point. But it cuts off when the season starts. I mean, some people only want that. Some people only want rankings. We have a subscription for that. But if you want the whole shebang, if you're a serious fantasy football player, I recommend NFL |
| 1:28.6 | Pro. Not only do you get all the stuff in draft kit, all the ranking stuff in season, you get |
| 1:33.4 | access to all the tools, the waiver wire tool, all the statistics. You get access to Discord |
| 1:39.3 | where you can talk directly to me. You get access to all the premium article content. The list goes on and on and on. So if you're serious about fantasy football, the NFL pro subscription is what I recommend. Ftnfantasy.com. Go get it. All right, let's dive into this. So I thought he was going to, I thought there was a hearing on September 3rd. I can't tell you how often. Of course, if you listen to this podcast, you knew that wasn't necessarily going to be the case because when that news came out, I immediately did a podcast where I said, hey, that's the headline. But the NFL and Rice, they could reach an agreement before then and then the suspension was started at the beginning of the season. That is exactly what happened. So, I mean, there's a cautionary tale here first and foremost, and the cautionary tale is simple. Don't just read the headlines. You know, if you're reading the headline or you're only reading the first sentence of the rhodo world blurb or whatever it is, you are not getting the whole story. And unfortunately, I know this is symptomatic of the society we live in right now where people are just quickly looking, scanning Twitter for information and then thinking, you know, the whole story. It was there all along. The story was clear. Yes, that was a hearing if they could not reach an agreement. Because ultimately, here's what I suspect was happening behind the scenes. The NFL was saying |
| 2:52.3 | maybe they said 10 games at first, but at least eight games, right? And Rice's camp was saying, |
| 2:57.1 | no, two games, you know, something along those lines. Classic negotiations. But Rice, his case here |
| 3:04.7 | was helped by the fact that the legal ramifications weren't as significant as we |
| 3:09.8 | initially thought. I mean, it looked pretty bad. There were a lot of felony counts there and it ended up |
| 3:13.8 | not being that bad. I mean, yes, he does have a very brief jail sentence. It's a 30-day |
| 3:19.6 | sentence and that can be completed anytime over five years. So it's not really that bad. So I'm sure |
