| 0:00.0 | Hey, welcome to episode 426 of the official established the run dot com podcast. My name |
| 0:21.9 | is Adam Levitan. As always joined by Evan Silva. And today we have a very very special |
| 0:27.8 | guest. He's an old friend of the show. He loves the debate. And the fans have told |
| 0:32.6 | us they want more arguments on the podcast. And therefore we have the esteemed Sigmund |
| 0:38.4 | Bloom from our friends at football guys. Sigmund, how's it going? Good. I should have my |
| 0:45.1 | law license up there behind me for this episode. You know, your counselor. No, it's great. |
| 0:50.8 | Debate is important. And I think sometimes because of the flat nature, there's no affect |
| 0:55.7 | when you're typing online, people's feelings can get hurt. But I remember Mike Clay and |
| 0:59.9 | I would go sword and shield back in the day. And I think it's really important to familiarize |
| 1:04.1 | yourself with the cases against your positions, because then you're going to be ready to act |

| 1:22.7 | fumble is usually there to recover the fumble. So this is how we can recover our fumbles. |
| 1:26.4 | To have some vigorous debates. So if we're wrong, we're going to realize it pretty quickly |
| 1:31.3 | and might be able to correct it before other people catch on. |
| 1:34.7 | The original man versus machine was definitely Sigmund Bloom versus Mike Clay on Twitter. |
| 1:41.0 | Death taxes and Mike Clay. That's a saying I just read up a couple of years ago. Death |
| 1:44.8 | taxes and Mike Clay. Exactly. Perfect. Okay. On today's show, as I said, we're going |
| 1:50.2 | to embrace debate. We've identified a bunch of players that Evan and Sig disagree on in |
| 1:54.9 | their rankings. I will preside as your humble judge will let them battle it out. By the |
| 2:01.0 | way, if you have a draft coming up, you are doing yourself a disservice. If you're not |
