When you think about that for a second, Hasselbeck had watched all the film. He knew the game plan. He was touching the ball on every offensive play. He could audible at any moment. Matt Hasselbeck had as much control over a fantasy football game as any fantasy manager in the history of the game. And still got it wrong. Matt told me that story and I said, I love that story.

I don't know that any one specific play. I mean, there's definitely been like, you know, nutty plays over the years. I don't know if there's any one specific play that I can think of that is like, you know, had to get the most points. I mean, that was sort of crazy, right, is that Josh Allen becomes, I think, like only the third player in history. Hold on a second.

I will say, though, you mentioned that Brian Westbrook play. I wrote about this one in my book, which is there's a big league of casino owners where the buy-in, this was whatever, this is like 20 years ago, but the buy-in in that league, at least for that year, the Brian Westbrook year, was $100,000.

what was your reaction? And he was like down five and he had Westbrook and it was his last player. So if Westbrook scores the touchdown, he wins his semifinal matchup. And he just turns to me and goes, yeah, that knee cost me $600,000. I later met Ryan Westbrook and I told him that story and he just laughed. He says, that guy should have called me.
