Coming off a losing fantasy week, that means you're one week closer to losing your league. That's stressful, which can lead to nighttime teeth grinding. Dentek wants to prevent teeth grinding and has raised the fantasy stakes with a once-in-a-lifetime punishment. Keep an eye out for the ultimate fantasy football punishment reveal at the NFL Pro Bowl. or on Dentek.com slash ultimate punishment.

105.638 - 117.667 Jeremy

If you're still feeling fantasy stress, try a Dentek nighttime dental guard to protect your teeth. Available at all major retailers. Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right?

117.967 - 123.798 Mike Fuentes

Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is won when it hasn't hit triple zero.

124.639 - 135.359 Billy Gill

Always drink your JƤgermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision.

Chapter 3: How does fantasy football impact players' stress levels?

204.648 - 208.392 Stugatz

Cam Newton. No. Barry wears a suit, slicks his hair back, he's good.

0

208.412 - 211.155 Billy Gill

No, he's got like a vest. That's a layered suit that he's got on there.

0

211.175 - 212.256 Chris Cody

That's nothing near Cam Newton.

0

212.276 - 219.004 Billy Gill

He sticks his hand in any body of water, toilet, sink, whatever, just gets his hand wet and slicks it back. Real good.

0

218.984 - 222.57 Stugatz

Put it on the poll. Does Barry Melrose... No, don't. Stop. What?

222.931 - 224.093 Mike Fuentes

He's sick, guys.

224.133 - 224.573 Stugatz

Sick.

225.014 - 227.919 Mike Fuentes

Been over here like, eh, let's stop. No one's taking a cue.

228.12 - 245.492 Stugatz

Sick as f***, baby. He's sick. He still slicks his hair back. My fault. I didn't know that. That has nothing to do with his disease. Adnan Virk is with us now, and he's got a hat on. The bill is a little ragged. He is celebrating the Toronto Blue Jays in a way that is clearly and obviously biased.

Chapter 4: What makes Max Scherzer's performance noteworthy in baseball?

754.461 - 773.888 Adnan Virk

And I say this to you as a longtime, lifelong baseball fan. What's more impressive? Five home runs this postseason or only one strikeout? As you know, Reggie Jackson hit a lot of home runs. He also struck out a ton. That's what you get with power hitters. Not with Vlad. Five homers at only 1K. That is remarkable bat-to-ball skills.

0

774.256 - 785.148 Stugatz

He also has this plate discipline that his father did not have as a great bad ball hitter. He's better than his father, is he not? And that's an impossible thing to say. His father's a Hall of Famer.

0

785.728 - 802.466 Adnan Virk

Yeah, I mean, his father was incredible. As you said, the bad ball hitter had a different body than Vlad. Obviously, he was tall and lean and kind of flailing all over the place. But I think what Vlad Jr. is able to do, the way he punishes this baseball, if you look at exit field on the sport, Virtually no one aside from Aaron Judge hits the ball harder than Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

0

802.567 - 810.375 Adnan Virk

Even if it's not always home runs, it's hard contact every single time. And to have that kind of discipline, it's amazing. Thank God the Jays locked him up for the next 14 years.

0

810.936 - 830.518 Stugatz

You mentioned, though, Canada and Canadian pride and how many people are watching this baseball team. I'm not sure that the audience really understands that Canada doesn't beat America at sports. Like, the Blue Jays are the only thing that beats America at sports, and it was a long-ass time ago. Canada loses. The Raptors.

830.939 - 855.813 Stugatz

Okay, but I'm saying when it comes to generational allegiances and who's the team that my parents are going to pass down, it's going to be the Blue Jays of Cito Gaston because Canada never gets to be better than America at sports. Fine, you chose the outlier, but... The Blue Jays matter to Canada because the Blue Jays have made Canada feel like a winner. No one in hockey's done it.

856.014 - 872.425 Adnan Virk

No, there's no question about that. Canadian team has not won since 1993. The Leafs have not won the Cup since 1967. But Mike and Tony are right to at least mention the Raptors in Kauai. 2019 was a massive moment for the country. We all know the impact that guys like Steve Nash and Vince Carter have had on basketball north of the border. But I would agree with you, Dan.

872.445 - 888.993 Adnan Virk

People have asked me, what's a bigger deal, if the Blue Jays won the World Series or the Raptors winning in 2019? I would say the Blue Jays, because that's a generational thing. You know, again, the Raptors is massive when they won, and basketball is huge. As Amin knows, north of the border. But I do think if the Blue Jays won, I mean, this would really just wrap up the entire country. It's huge.

889.013 - 890.817 Adnan Virk

But it's all dwarfed by the Leafs, right?

Chapter 5: Why are the Blue Jays significant to Canadian sports culture?

2020.643 - 2040.045 Chris Cody

And I said, you got to double down, man, and don't let any of those coaches get injured this year. If they do, you immediately tie it into too many minutes during a meaningless game. And then afterward, he said, Jalen Brown asked everyone, does anyone want to do media? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I said, when he says that, you say, let's do it. Because we're not like these little Gen Z sniveling whining.

0

2040.065 - 2060.67 Chris Cody

He's like, oh, I had a bad day and now I have to talk to the media. It's part of your job. Man up. How many points did you have scored? Me? Yeah. You know what I would have done? I would have locked up Joe Mazzulla. Wow. You would have said, I'm not even scoring tonight. You're not scoring. You're not scoring. And by the way, if he gets by me, I'm throwing something dirty. Chicken wing.

0

2060.811 - 2067.398 Chris Cody

Chicken wing. I'll let him know. We're not here. You know what? We're here to compete. We're not just here like, oh my God, you guys are so good.

0

2068.178 - 2070.301 Stugatz

No easy ones. Get out of here. Matthew Barry's here.

0

2070.881 - 2071.121 Chris Cody

Hey!

2071.322 - 2086.003 Stugatz

Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. It ended quicker than I thought it was going to. There you go. Got to get the timing down.

2088.937 - 2106.821 Billy Gill

Go ahead. Oh, all right, here we go. In every game this season but one, the Detroit Lions have allowed multiple touchdown passes, and among their issues, deep pass attempts. Their bottom five in the NFL in both yards and touchdowns allowed on deep passes. Who do they play this week? Baker Mayfield, who, by the way, only one quarterback in the NFL has more deep pass attempts than Baker Mayfield.

2107.061 - 2120.539 Billy Gill

Start Baker. I don't care who his wide receivers are. By the way, other side of the ball, last week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have allowed at least 340 passing yards to an opposing quarterback in two straight weeks. Those quarterbacks Mac Jones and Sam Darnold. Don't get cute, you're starting Jared Goff.

2120.899 - 2138.702 Billy Gill

By the way, in the two games since Braylon Allen went on IR, Brees Hall has gotten 82% of the Jets' running back touches. I know you're like, ugh, the Jets are awful, but get this. Three of the last four running backs to get at least 15 touches against the Carolina Panthers have scored at least 16 fantasy points. They've also given up two receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs.
