That's what we're talking about today on stealing bananas.

I'm Ben Gretch.

com with me as always is Sean Siegel. You can find all of his great work over at Rotaviz. First off, apology for our inconsistent recording schedule. We've had a lot going on this spring. Both Sean and I, I think, Sean, you mentioned, I don't want to give away too much of your stuff, but I think you mentioned on the show that you're moving right now. I've been working a ton on trying to get back in shape, finishing up a pretty rigorous three-month workout program that's been a success and starting to coach my daughter and softball. And so anyway, we have a bunch of stuff going on in our personal lives that has been taking a little bit of precedent. We're excited about that.

I know you guys are for us.

Secondly, the intro that I or the title I just said for this topic, I'm sure a lot of people are like, well, this isn't a betting show. What are we talking about here? we have said for a lot of years on the show that we think the team success stuff is probably not discussed as much as it should be

1:11.4

as people hyper focus on players and like player profiles.

1:16.0

This is something we've done for the last few years in the off season,

in ADP and in the fantasy football marketplace.

1:40.7

So don't get it wrong.

1:41.7

This is very much a fantasy football discussion as we

1:45.7

both something Sean and I have talked about a ton, both on the show and off the show, agree is a really

1:53.4

key part of our process in terms of figuring out what we think are the situations that we want to

1:58.5

target, where there might be value, et cetera. It's really hard to find value in the situations that just kind of suck where like the coaches or the team or everything is just not going well. That's a huge story for football in general as a sport. And in terms of how you play fantasy. So for us, I just want to be clear there's going to be no like strong betting

advice on this show. We are looking at these lines for the first time. I just typed him into a

2:22.3

document like 10 minutes ago. We did a whole Sean and I catching up talk for like an hour plus

2:28.0

two, almost two hours just now and didn't talk about this at all until literally 10 minutes ago.

2:33.8

Just typed over the odds. We're looking through it. We're making some quick first notes. Sean, you had the great idea that we will do a kind of a first look show here, give our first ideas.
