| 0:15.1 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:15.8 | It's Monday, October 6, 2025. |
| 0:18.3 | Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show where some of us are still in denial. It's me and your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Laquan Jones. Bells, how was the weekend? Anything, anything interesting happening over the weekend? My favorite team lost. Do you see the cockiness and arrogance of this guy? I get shot at in the intro. Um, what? |
| 0:38.5 | I just, I, I, did I, I, I know what you're doing. |

| 1:32.8 | thoughts about what happened on Thursday night. |
| 1:36.5 | And off the top, I just want to say, Lequan, that I didn't do this to you. |
| 1:42.1 | You did this to you. |
| 1:44.4 | And this is going to hurt you a hell of a lot more than it hurts me. |
