I don't run across ESPN videos a lot on YT but this was a pleasant surprise and I spent an hour on it and subscribed. I like the kind-hearted attitude especially sounds like Stephania lives that way 😊 Plus I didn't catch most games and it was a good recap.

Never forget Yates had Richardson ahead of Lamar preseason

I was telling people all off season that drafting AR that high was too risky. He was being drafted over Kyler and I couldn't understand it. I told people that Kyler's ceiling was just as high as AR's but his floor was significantly higher. We've seen Kyler's ceiling already. We've been disappointed with Kyler so far this season and yet not surprisingly, he is still a top flight fantasy QB

Had 40 pt lead and lost to ceedee and Aubrey dealing with a 4 game losing streak 4-4. Why do I play this game lol

The "Brotherly Shove" looks the way it does because the Eagles are missing lineman, but it's still working

Posted this Tillman post elsewhere last week. Nailed a 42-1 parlay because of it and missed a 90-1 parlay if the Ravens had just won the game. Here's the post, Have a good week! "Opportunity knocks for Cedric Tillman Jr. Dismissing his value with the current state of affairs in Cleveland is JUST SILLY. The Browns offensive dysfunction was legendary up until this point. Contrary to some of the takes floating around fantasyland, the Browns, likely to be trailing most of the season, cannot target Njoku 20 times a game (as he draws a ton of defensive attention) without someone benefiting downfield. They will manufacture touches for Tillman as well. As soon as Cooper left town, Tillman was HIGHLY involved with bozo Watson and DTR at QB last week. Let's not forget, Breshad Perriman, of all people, was a stud with Winston down the stretch the last time Winston had a starting NFL gig. Perriman had THREE TDs in a fantasy playoff game vs. Detroit that year, (started Perriman that game and eventually won my league that year so I wouldn't forget it ha). You should be licking your chops to grab Tillman. Stefanski's offense can put up fantasy points through the air as long as Watson is out of the picture. Tillman had a great pre-season last year (2023) as well and has been quietly gaining the trust of the coaching staff. The swiss cheese Ravens secondary is up next. Humphrey is likely out for the Ravens w/ his new knee injury as well. As long as Winston is healthy, and on the field, Tillman will put up stats. 8 for 81 last week on 12 targets. Two endzone shots. One resulted in PI. Rewatch his University of Tennessee tape as well. He can play. Thanks for the video!"

Is this show no longer posting new episodes on Apple Podcasts? Nothing from this week has been posted on Apple.

Am I the only one yelling slide at Tua when he did that scramble? I imagined everyone watching was yelling or thinking it.
