What are the hosts most excited about for the start of the 2026‑27 NFL season?
Welcome to the Ring of Fantasy Football Show. My name is Danny Heifetz and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Rollbeck. And today it is power hour, where every Wednesday we power rank something. And this Wednesday, we are power ranking things we are excited for this NFL season because the season is starting, Danny Kelly. We're actually here.
It's crazy. I cannot believe we're starting we have a Wednesday game. Maybe is this the first time ever that we're starting on a Wednesday? I can't remember. No.
Is that right? There's been another Wednesday kickoff? Like thirteen, fourteen years ago, the Democratic National Convention was like on a Thursday, so they did it like the twenty twelve season.
Politics always getting in the way.
Uh, but I'm excited about that. You Seahawks gonna kick the Patriots butts. We're gonna have a preview for you guys of week one. We're also gonna be going, we're gonna have like a Patriots uh Seahawks uh conversation after that game for you this week. We're gonna have a Niners Rams conversation after the Australia game. No one knows when it is. Kyle Shanahan doesn't know what time that game is. Nobody knows when Niners Rams will be. But whenever that game happens, uh, we're going to have a reaction to it that'll be up on the feed this week. And then we're in our in-season schedule, right, Craig? We got Sunday recaps, Monday wave. and power hours on Wednesdays and we're gonna have uh previews for each week on Friday.
So we're here, we're in the in season. Don't touch that dial. Yeah. Look, go look at that dial and leave it alone. We are going to get to listener purges. We did the take purge earlier this week. It's the most fun we probably do all year. And then all the listeners send in purges, including the Discord channel. Join the Discord if you like Discord. That'll be really popping with the uh the games happening and actual threads. But so the we have emails and also take purges from listeners. Fantasy Court is back. Emails fantasy court. We're gonna settle your disputes because we are actual lawyers. And so e it settle your fantasy court disputes with us, emails. those and we'll talk about the ringer fantasy football league.
We're gonna get it all that. But first, we're gonna take a quick break. This episode is presented by Verizon.
How will Mike McDaniel’s new offense impact the Chargers this year?
Let me tell you all about Verizon's new simplicity plan. You get one plan, one price, just $30 a line per month, even for a single line. So while everyone is running four trade analyzers before offering a backup tight end, Verizon said, one plan, one price. Sometimes the simplest move is the best one. Like the simplicity plan. Head to Verizon.com today. For new customers who switch to Verizon, $30 per line includes auto pay and switch discount. Additional taxes, fees, and terms apply. All right. It's time for power hour. Week one power hour, week zero, never know what to call it, but we're gonna go with week one. Uh for those who don't know, we power rank every every Wednesday. We're gonna power rank. stuff and this week we're power ranking things we're actually excited to see because the season's here and we talk about all this stuff in circles and now it's actually just arriving.
It's like this thing in theory and then suddenly it's like no longer on the horizon. You just get out of the car and you're here. So we're gonna go through and just things we are earnestly, unironically just happy to see on our televisions this week.
Yeah, excited to see, curious about, and I will say that Power Hour is gonna sound a little bit different this year because look, we're on Netflix now, okay? And Netflix, we can't just play TomTom Club on Netflix. We'd have to pay TomTom Club a lot of money. And we can't do that. So Tom Tom Club, if you wanna help us out, hit us up. If you're listening, that'd be great. Either the Toms. Either the Tom or Tom, or if there's somebody in club, maybe. Um, please hit us up. But but But uh in its place, we're gonna be testing out new sound drops today. We have three that we're gonna run through and we're gonna play them kind of in order, back to back over and over.
