A home World Cup only happens once in a lifetime, and we are not missing a second. I'm Castle 1021. On the 1021 Podcast, me and the crew break down every match like it's personal. The drama, the upsets, the debates you'll be having all day. Soccer, culture, and chaos in one place. Pick a side? We already did. Listen to the 1021 Podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, and welcome into Fantasy Pros live on the Twitch channel at twitch.tv slash Fantasy Pros. That's the place to be. It's Thursday, July 16th, one day prior to when all NFL rookies will start to begin showing up to training camp. And with it beginning to be that time of year again, we've got another Fancy Football Q&A coming your way right here answering your burning questions. I'm your host, Seth Wilcock, back in the swing of things with a man who I'll get to see his big, beautiful bald head in the next week. Love him or hate him, he's going to keep it 100. He's Derek Brown. D-Bro, pleasure to be chopping up with you today. What are the vibes like on your end as we prepare for just this onslaught of reports coming out of camp in the next few weeks?
Ready for it, because we need actual news. I'm tired of all this fluff and filler and BS, kind of like, ugh, franchise tag day. What will or will not George Pickens do? Except we know exactly what he's going to do, because he's been saying what he's going to do, and he did what he's going to do. So, no, I'm ready for it, man. I love this time of year because, you know, the ebbs and flows of the offseason, and we're getting that much closer to finding out if all the things we think could happen in 2026 actually happen, Seth. It's great.
I know all the speculation will soon be put to bed. I think we're only about maybe 50 or so days out from the actual kickoff of the regular season. So coming downhill at a very high speed and go ahead folks and drop your fantasy football questions below. We'll try to get to them in roughly the next 60 or so minutes. And a quick reminder, please make sure you follow and subscribe if you're already.
What opening topics and show format do Seth and Derek introduce?
And also don't forget to check out all the video on demand content on the fantasy pros YouTube account, as well as the audio content. After this live stream, we'd really appreciate you doing that to get yourself ready for draft day. And before we dive in there, I need your help and I need the audience help to help me settle. Kind of an internal debate I've been having. I put it out on social media. No one wanted to weigh in, so I'm going to bring my dilemma here. If we can go ahead and bring that up, Sal. I want the people back at home to let me know what Steelers jersey should I be buying this season? What's the top? We got two options right now. This is easy. Okay, so you have former Navy man, an absolute stallion out there on the field for the midshipman, now returning to his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Eli Heinenreich.
Or you have Drew Aller. I am a Penn State fan. Keep that in mind. 6'5", 230. Guy's got an absolute cannon drafted in the third round. What do you think here, Derek? What direction should I go? Should I go with, you know, the man who put his life on the line for our country or the man who put his life on the line for my country?
school of choice uh i think i'm with tcb when it's all said and done i think three option three save your money um but come on there is no way in hell i will put actual monetary means behind buying anything drew our i know you really want like to like have that's almost kind of like one of those remember when remember this player kind of tweets It's no, there's not going to be a good era. There is not going to be a drew our era of Pittsburgh football. It's just not going to happen, dude. So no, Eli Heidenreich, who a player that we both really, really enjoy in the pre-draft process, love his fit with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hopefully we get him on the field. I think they should still transition him to slot wide receiver.
