Welcome into the fantasy footballers podcast. Monday, August thirty first, September nearly here, kickoff nearly here. And uh weekend. Two weekends in a row where we have one, a ton of fantasy drafts taking place, and two, a ton of fantasy news that can entirely disrupt the drafts. Yeah,
but that's what we're here for. You know what's a shame is that the good news isn't ever the news that like really rocks your draft. You don't ever go into like, oh my gosh, guys, this guy's good. We found out. Yeah, I
mean, t technically speaking, if you were in an IDP league this weekend did contain that news. Oh, I guess that's true. I guess that's actually true. Because Aaron Donald decided to say, I'm back. That just that doesn't happen.
Dude.
Doesn't happen on the offensive side.
Twenty million dollars up to thirty million. Um how does that how do they do that right before kickoff? I d I like
the comment that you said, which is like I w hopefully this gives you that magical, amazing, best defensive line ever, but they almost like never the super team never works out. But um
I think I saw something where the last twenty teams that were favored by this wide of a margin, like they're they're the clear favorites for the Super Bowl. The last twenty times this has happened, they've gone 0 20. Not that that's shocking, 'cause the field will usually have it if you're betting on thirty one out of thirty two teams, but it doesn't ever uh like I I genuinely I mean I'm a I'm a Cardinals fan, kind of, but they're not a serious organization, so I'm not. I'm I'm like rooting for them to wreck the league. I just want I sorry everybody else, but I love the idea of those two guys just l literally shutting out every team. And it won it won't happen. It just the the NFL there's too much parody.
Well injuries. Well injuries. I mean it I
mean
it

Aaron Donald Donald and then Miles Garrett, and you know, one of those guys goes down, it changes it. But um it does this count as positive news? Uh Zach Ertz reunion with the Eagles is on the table, Jason. Oh man, that is not quite where you Not quite where you
not Arab Donald levels. No. That is nasty. That is oh my gosh, is that nasty? You you even like uh Dallas Goddard. That would be Right.
