0:00.0	Hello and welcome to episode 1031 of the sleeper and the boss.
0:21.5	It is Wednesday, March 23rd on your host, Paul Spore, and I am flying solo for the first
0:26.2	time in quite a while. I don't even remember the last one to be honest, but I'm doing the
0:31.5	Reliever Preview. It's the last of our position previews to make sure that you all are equipped
0:36.3	for the first of probably the two biggest draft weekends of the year. I just wanted to make
0:44.1	sure this got out. I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow just and I believe left today. We just
0:52.2	wanted to be honest with ourselves. We don't really think we're going to make time to record in
0:56.7	Vegas, right? We're going to be there with a bunch of people from the fantasy community for the
1:01.5	NFBC main event and a lot of other drafts and setting aside time to do a full pod. Just putting

1:41.1	things, you know, the winter drafts are primarily what are called draft and hold or draft champions
1:47.0	leaks. Now these are over at the NFBC. There's also like best ball leagues and basically just those.
1:54.3	I think best ball and draft champions are the main thrust of leagues that you're going to find
1:59.2	in the winter. So for the draft and hold, you draft all 50 of your guys at the draft and that's
2:03.7	it. There are no pickups. You got to go with what you got all year. So you can't scrounge for
2:08.1	saves. At the end of the year in the waiver pool, there will be some legit closures in there at
2:13.1	times because they didn't they didn't get drafted and they came out of nowhere. So you got to
2:16.9	get all your saves. You throw in the lockout and it created this situation where the uncertainty
