0:54.8

week one, how are your teams looking so far? For the most part, good. You know, it took a couple

1:01.3

of L's, had a couple of good performances by my team. A few leagues that I played the highest

1:06.9

score. And it's not fun at all, especially when you're watching your opponent's score, just go up and up and up. But I'm telling myself, it's one week. If your team still did good and the opponent just outscored you, don't overreact at all. I think that's, there's definitely positives to that, right? You scored a lot of points. You just ran into a buzzsaw. It's frustrating, but it happens and hopefully you get it out of the way early. I've got more winners than losers. I really have adopted the whole thing of not watching scores during the games. And usually at night or the next morning, I'll go check and see how things are going. Because I just, I can't tilt over every play. It's just not a healthy way for me to live. But if you want to change that. Yeah, see, I'm telling you. Get on board. It's a thing that I learned it from the great Scott Fish. I think he tweeted that out on Sunday morning. I quote tweeted it and said, this is probably a better way to go about things. And, you know, it takes time. Don't get me wrong, but it's definitely a good

2:02.4

thing to do. If you want to tweet and tilt over every play, you certainly can do that.

2:22.5

wire picks and all kind of good stuff. But let's start with those fantasy headlines.

2:26.8

The first one, Jerry Judy, the Denver Broncos receiver, was carted off the field on Sunday

2:32.9

with an ankle injury. Now, at the time, it looked pretty gruesome, but the reports came back that it was not as serious as it looked. They're saying it's a high ankle sprain. Judy went on Instagram on Monday morning and said, I'll be back soon. So Florida, that is definitely good news because I think

2:52.2

everybody who saw it really looked like, really felt like this could be a very serious injury.

2:57.8

High ankle sprain, still not a lot of fun. But in the short term, who do you look at as sort of

3:02.8

the next man up in that Broncos receiving group? Yeah, Marcus, I was in my fields a little bit yesterday when

3:08.2

Jerry Judy got hurt. You know, I've been all over him and he looked phenomenal before he got
