Transcript
You are listening to dynasty logics. Talk about
BOBBY:playoffs are you kidding me? playoffs? I deserve we can win a
BOBBY:game.
BOBBY:That's right folks. It's playoff time and welcome back to the
BOBBY:playoff edition of dynasty logics. That's me It's Bobby and
BOBBY:on the other side what's going on Tom? Yeah baby play
Tommy D.:pataka we're talking playoff some people are in some
Tommy D.:people are out. But as Jim Mora says
BOBBY:20 years ago today, not today. But more into the
BOBBY:playoffs
Tommy D.:were those epic coach coaching rants, that we were
Tommy D.:talking about, like a little bit off air and go, it goes, you
Tommy D.:know, goes back with the, you know, what, the hermit which
Tommy D.:ones, Danny, Danny green ones. They are who they thought we
Tommy D.:were they are who they thought we were.
BOBBY:Corps light actually did a great advertisement segment
BOBBY:for all of those, like, weird coaches that went off the rails.
BOBBY:And they put basically like five guys who were at a party trying
BOBBY:to go to that press conference. And they they dubbed it and it's
BOBBY:it's genius. So we might have to throw those back onto the
BOBBY:dynasty logic, right?
Tommy D.:I love those old school rants. You just don't see
Tommy D.:him anymore because he was lured by and like no goddamn reason
Tommy D.:like just snaps over questions. It's like, you know, nowadays
Tommy D.:you get the you get the Bill Belichick. He asked me a stupid
Tommy D.:question. He's like, come on. Text.
BOBBY:You know, the best part about that, though, Tom, like
BOBBY:after having a one in 13 season, you think I'd be more debt? You
BOBBY:know, I'd be more angry about the playoffs. Well, I'm still
BOBBY:the furthest thing from happy about it. But I know what my
BOBBY:team is. I know it's young. I know. It's rebuilding. And I
BOBBY:know it's dynasty. I know where my holes are. And I'm not as big
BOBBY:as they look to be by record standpoints. So
Tommy D.:no, and you're right and in, unfortunately, but a
Tommy D.:bonus. And in the leagues that I run. You're playing this week,
Tommy D.:right? Because I run a playoffs draft picking. Right so the
Tommy D.:playoff teams who are eliminated from the playoffs starting this
Tommy D.:week, will play for draft picks selection like most people like
Tommy D.:it, I get variances from year to year, pharmacy Long story short,
Tommy D.:when it does stop you from tanking. Want the guy who sits
Tommy D.:at one of your dynasty League and just takes the old Brownback
Tommy D.:Barnum back running back three, three years in a row voice
Tommy D.:tracking, he doesn't get better. Like this is actually by the
Tommy D.:third fourth year, I think we ran this. And I saw nothing but
Tommy D.:progression from that. It helps that fringe team, you know who's
Tommy D.:trying he just not good enough. And you know what, it stops that
Tommy D.:guy from just packing in and just get the number one pick.
Tommy D.:Some people don't care, you want the number one the number four.
Tommy D.:That's fine. But you know, what, gives everyone something to play
Tommy D.:for. And I got two leagues as a commissioner, that's important
Tommy D.:to me. Alright, so that's important to keep everyone as
Tommy D.:active as humanly possible. i That's why, you know, we pay out
Tommy D.:high scores every week. You know, that's why everyone plays
Tommy D.:in our league, except for the two top teams this week, and
Tommy D.:everyone plays next week. And then champions play by
Tommy D.:themselves week 17 It adds that dynamic you know, plus we don't
Tommy D.:have a trade deadline so trades are active trades Mark Jeremy. I
Tommy D.:mean, I pulled the trade last week that's fine. This is and
Tommy D.:this is the time you look at those trades. I mean, which is
Tommy D.:funny because I made a trade you know I trade it for a maximum
Tommy D.:championship. You don't contender right so I traded for
Tommy D.:Renfro and I traded away Logan Thomas to a rebuilding team and
Tommy D.:should not the funniest part about that deal. I'll tell you
Tommy D.:right now should not is one of those guys that I would buy
Tommy D.:right now in dynasty. He was a guy I had to sell because I
Tommy D.:needed to start read. I'm fine with that too. But if I'm a
Tommy D.:dynasty team, I'm looking this time of year for a lot of things
Tommy D.:in December and we love December because you can See a lot of
Tommy D.:stuff and you can look a little bit ahead but guy election
Tommy D.:alters the guy I'm buying right now. Like that team is shit
Tommy D.:show, right? That coach is the worst I've ever seen right? Can
Tommy D.:it shouldn't get better? Yeah and I'm banking on it because
Tommy D.:you can get you know half the price he would have cost you in
Tommy D.:August and I'll take that buy for a guy who's a talented
Tommy D.:upside receiver right that's the guy I'm looking to buy at this
Tommy D.:time of year where I'm looking to buy like that. And again the
Tommy D.:owner I sold to was smart like his Renfrow like on fire right
Tommy D.:now. Yeah, he's up. But where did he get he got Logan Thomas
Tommy D.:for next year guy and I are perfect by any get a GET UP side
Tommy D.:project in sure not with talent across the board. If they get
Tommy D.:rid of their coach, we'll be fine. Those are the kind of
Tommy D.:those the kind of moves that I'm looking to make. Even if as a
Tommy D.:contender, but if you rebuild and like kick the tires and
Tommy D.:someone you know sitting on someone's bench, he's just stick
Tommy D.:around like, Go kick the tires and those guys and look ahead.
BOBBY:I don't think he was necessarily sick of Renfro. But
BOBBY:I see where you're going with that. I mean, he took he
BOBBY:definitely from so I'm going to speak for myself for a moment. I
BOBBY:have
Tommy D.:no he definitely wasn't sick. He was sick of if I
Tommy D.:had a prior moto Renfrow. But in general, I was sick of Shut up
Tommy D.:while I was younger.
BOBBY:That's that's fair. So you know that that's, that's a
BOBBY:good buy all the same? Because one, you know, what have we
BOBBY:talked about owners who are getting antsy with players? Who,
BOBBY:you know, you know, sometimes you just knock on the door or
BOBBY:opportunity shows up and and you take advantage of it.
Tommy D.:Yeah, cuz that deal doesn't work. If he's in the
Tommy D.:playoff fund. That deal doesn't work. But he's out. Right. So
Tommy D.:perfect, right? He's rebuilding money in the bank, those are the
Tommy D.:ones who are capitalizing right now.
BOBBY:So three different teams, three different scenarios. One
BOBBY:was awful. And has a lot of young, rebuilding pieces that
BOBBY:we'll get there. But that one's going to take time. So that
BOBBY:one's that one's going to take just patience. And proper, you
BOBBY:know, the proper nutrients. It's like I'm growing a plant from a
BOBBY:fucking seed up. But I have another team that was on the
BOBBY:cusp of the playoffs. I knew it still needed some rebuilding
BOBBY:components. And unfortunately, it didn't get into the playoffs
BOBBY:this year. But it gave you a good run. Because you were the
BOBBY:one who made sure I didn't get there because you knocked me
BOBBY:out. So thank you, by the way, there's a compliment. There's
BOBBY:another compliment coming in there too. Then I have one more,
BOBBY:who actually has a good good possibility that least slaying
BOBBY:you in the next round. But first I gotta go through because it's
BOBBY:in the playoffs with another young team. I'm in a good spot
BOBBY:there because at least I'm fighting, right. These are all
BOBBY:teams that I've taken in the past two and a half years and
BOBBY:really committed to rebuilding process all three of them. Then
BOBBY:you always got to
Tommy D.:avoid where you get to me right to summarize Bobby's
Tommy D.:three days he teams he has three different aspects of a rebuilt,
Tommy D.:right. He's got a bottom floor rebuild, right. He's got a
Tommy D.:bottom floor. That's like just starting to rebuild. Right. So
Tommy D.:that's years away. He's got one that just missed the playoffs,
Tommy D.:right with a solid core, right solid core couple. He decorated
Tommy D.:his draft, he should be in the playoffs. Right. And then he has
Tommy D.:a rebuild playoff team that just made the playoffs. lipworth MD
Tommy D.:is in a good spot with a winning record. Why and that team is is
Tommy D.:is again, is one or two pieces away from being a championship
Tommy D.:contender. So he's got one a base floor. He's got one that's
Tommy D.:almost a playoff team guaranteed next year, and then one that's a
Tommy D.:playoff team. That's championship contender next
Tommy D.:year, right? That's the position you have you actually have it's
Tommy D.:kind of fun to watch, because you have those three different
Tommy D.:variances and how the progression has has come across.
Tommy D.:Yeah, so that mean that's perfect, and that's what you
Tommy D.:want to be at and yes, me knock you out of the playoffs. The
Tommy D.:Thank you, but I'm not gonna go to the graphic. So there you go.
BOBBY:100%. And I'll be I'll be the first one to, to thank you
BOBBY:not only not only for that, but you know as as we've talked and,
BOBBY:you know, we've really, you know, have gone through not all
BOBBY:of my moves and moves that you would make, but that's not
BOBBY:necessarily Bad thing some of the players I've picked, may not
BOBBY:have been the guy that you would take. But you could see why I've
BOBBY:taken some of those higher risk players with the hopes of
BOBBY:jumpstart my team a little bit quicker.
Tommy D.:Well, we 100 agree with that. Because you have to
Tommy D.:like, there's different guys, you have to require when you're
Tommy D.:moving along to a bill, like you have to get those guys. I'm in a
Tommy D.:position I don't have to but get that's how you get to that
Tommy D.:rebuild. Absolutely.
BOBBY:And that's where that's where we fast forward all the
BOBBY:way to where you're at, with three division ones. Three
BOBBY:highest scoring, you know, league wide points overall, I,
BOBBY:it just goes to show you that we are showing you both sides of
BOBBY:the dynasty build at the same time. And we're probably one of
BOBBY:the few that are actually showing you all all sides of the
BOBBY:coin. And it's why I love doing the show with you. So, you know,
BOBBY:congratulations on on another year of winning. But as you can
BOBBY:see, I'm already knocking on the door
Tommy D.:that you know what you are and it wasn't easier. I had
Tommy D.:a great comment today because somebody else realized that same
Tommy D.:thing. And the comment was, that's impressive. With the way
Tommy D.:the fear went down in the go, it is I go it is. But it's also one
Tommy D.:of those things that I haven't missed the playoffs in a long
Tommy D.:time. And it's consistency right. Again, this is a year
Tommy D.:where DEP comes in right this is the year where a talented up and
Tommy D.:down roster comes in right? Do I have a lot of entries yet. But
Tommy D.:they also have guys who make up for it I have enough on my head
Tommy D.:is to make up for by means you can get away with if your team
Tommy D.:is that good. And you're in your head of people then he you know
Tommy D.:what you should have enough to roll up like even if you have to
Tommy D.:start back running backs. You don't have running backs and
Tommy D.:wide receivers and tight ends of character line quarterbacks in
Tommy D.:care of me in this time of year. It's one of those things where
Tommy D.:you look at the whole body of work, and you go, Okay, I got
Tommy D.:this position that I wanted to get into. And those accolades
Tommy D.:look great. Like I said, a lot of records division they get by.
Tommy D.:That's great. That's audible. Now it's time for me to make the
Tommy D.:run and finish it right. And this is the time of year where
Tommy D.:I'm a team. I'm looking to backup everyone I can the way
Tommy D.:this year is going. I'm backing up everyone I can realistically
Tommy D.:like realistically like I got lucky pick up Guyton last week,
Tommy D.:because I don't keep down. So that's a good swap. And again,
Tommy D.:if you drafted well enough, this is a time where that depth has
Tommy D.:helped right that that those rookies that we talked about
Tommy D.:that haven't really been producing a start starting to
Tommy D.:produce right, the Mummy Returns and they got my blood boil on
Tommy D.:Ross terriers, Saint brown areas coming out, right? I needed a
Tommy D.:receiver my team. Boom, plug him in plan. He's getting nine to 10
Tommy D.:targets a game. Okay, now he's now he's playable Ernest Jones.
Tommy D.:linebacker of rams wasn't playable all season. Now he's
Tommy D.:playable. This is the time where a lot of those guys he sat on.
Tommy D.:He sat on his rookies. Now we've learned now I started to show up
Tommy D.:a little bit a little bit more Nikko accounts. Davis mills.
Tommy D.:Yeah. I mean, playable.
BOBBY:You you. So what the the overarching part of that all of
BOBBY:it really is, you know that that depth and the that consistency
BOBBY:to keep going back into your waiver wire to figure out know
BOBBY:what the storylines are not necessarily, you know, not the
BOBBY:injury storylines, but who's, who's taking the who's coming up
BOBBY:in the in, whether it's from a practice squad perspective, or
BOBBY:who's coming up, you know, from third, third string, who's taken
BOBBY:the second spot on the depth chart, all of those have really
BOBBY:started to add up. And I can tell you, that my team is
BOBBY:littered with a bunch of twos and threes. And it's one of the
BOBBY:main reasons why it stayed competitive throughout the whole
BOBBY:season. So I'm pretty confident if I get a couple of more, you
BOBBY:know, top end guys, it will balance out and you know, going
BOBBY:into the into the playoffs you get something to play for I have
BOBBY:something to play for. Okay with all of my teams going into these
BOBBY:next couple of weeks, because I have the depth that's going to
BOBBY:at least Keep me competitive. So hopefully I get, you know, one
BOBBY:of those one, two or three spots in the, in the draft this year.
BOBBY:So, you know, it may not be a championship, but it's going to
BOBBY:be my championship as I go for by rebuilding process.
Tommy D.:And that's what it is like, it never stops me. And you
Tommy D.:talk about that. And I did the same thing. Like, I'm looking to
Tommy D.:make moves. So quiet guy for the future, like, I'm still, you
Tommy D.:know, trying to win now with that trade, you know, but I
Tommy D.:also, you know, put in like a graphics swap, and I'm looking
Tommy D.:to sell off some pieces to some contenders to get draft picks.
Tommy D.:Right, at least I'll tell you this about what the draft
Tommy D.:because, you know, as you've heard, and I have heard about
Tommy D.:this draft class, I guess every a great draft class, this draft
Tommy D.:class, it's not so good running backs and what not quarterbacks.
Tommy D.:And these are the years when people against draft class isn't
Tommy D.:that special. And at first glance, it's like so so this is
Tommy D.:the year, I'm trying to buy volume. Because when you hear a
Tommy D.:draft class that doesn't have like, there's no block first
Tommy D.:round pick, right? You can tell me ticket probably gets trapped
Tommy D.:in the first round the quarterback, but like there's no
Tommy D.:longer there's no lock solid guy up top. I'm sorry, there really
Tommy D.:isn't. Those are the years where I usually end up buying more
Tommy D.:draft picks. Because people read and they see this stuff. And
Tommy D.:they try to sell out for the year afterwards. Right? Do I
Tommy D.:want like a high pick? No, I said I want volume. Because you
Tommy D.:know what? I want to take three throws at a guy right? I want to
Tommy D.:take two throws at a quarterback not just take one like this.
Tommy D.:This is what and I haven't done too deep into it. But from what
Tommy D.:I know when you hear it's a bad rap class. I'm buying rap pics
Tommy D.:because I hope other owners hear that they do. And they know
Tommy D.:about and they will sell amusia and that's when you can you can
Tommy D.:score gem you can you can try to take more shots, right and yeah,
Tommy D.:and I'm looking for, you know, up and coming, rookies on you
Tommy D.:know, on practice squads and taxi squads and you're also
Tommy D.:looking you know to what's what's that word we always use
Tommy D.:it's solid.
BOBBY:Consolidation is
Tommy D.:dealing with audacious stories like I mean I had a guy
Tommy D.:called up I had him offseason. racemic math, like no, the guy
Tommy D.:was a good black rhino longshot racemic mask and activated a
Tommy D.:plate. But one catch nothing special. This kid was an unknown
Tommy D.:nobody knew who he was. I honestly didn't even think he
Tommy D.:was ever going to play in the game this year. I really didn't.
Tommy D.:I was actually shocked they pulled him up and he was playing
Tommy D.:I was like okay, and again mean you talk about how that's like
Tommy D.:important to us like okay, well they saw something so maybe I
Tommy D.:saw something so are maybe to me that Is he is he playable and
Tommy D.:I'm not telling you that is he a buy if he's available in your
Tommy D.:dynasty gays the guy go pick up, but uh, my roster I'm like,
Tommy D.:okay, good. He's the guy that he's gonna stay on my roster on
Tommy D.:the offseason because he showed he showed glimpses perfect. But
Tommy D.:as I'm trying to build for a championship in front of win
Tommy D.:this year, I'll tell you my biggest advantage and what I've
Tommy D.:done in dynasty that most people haven't had the ability to do is
Tommy D.:I've won a lot of titles right and I made the playoffs 1516
Tommy D.:straight years I've never sold out to win a championship right
Tommy D.:I've never cleared the decks for my future to win a title because
Tommy D.:when you do that and I'm not telling people don't because if
Tommy D.:you can clear the decks that when one title Absolutely I
Tommy D.:understand it's worth it because it's dynasty its legacy. You
Tommy D.:know, absolutely your names there. It's there forever. But
Tommy D.:if you can win a title and not sell off your future and back
Tommy D.:pile that bench, you won't fall off right and I think that's a
Tommy D.:bigger mistake that people do and that's what you should take
Tommy D.:advantage of. So I'm telling like almost like Bobby I said I
Tommy D.:get it you never sniffed it and now you're that close?
Tommy D.:Absolutely I understand it sell out take advantage of that right
Tommy D.:people come to me with those kinds of trades I don't sell
Tommy D.:I'll do a cheaper a smaller trade but you know again, my
Tommy D.:future is important to me because this is how I stayed up
Tommy D.:top like how I stayed is not selling off all my use and not
Tommy D.:filling up all my pics to stay up there. But on the flip side
Tommy D.:because it doesn't did nothing against it if you try to win the
Tommy D.:title go ahead because you know what people don't get there
Tommy D.:often. You know especially when you get good teams who are just
Tommy D.:hard to up and coming but like this is the fun time of year
Tommy D.:this is the this is the time of year in December where if you're
Tommy D.:rebuild if you're you know if you're a championship Junior if
Tommy D.:you're me, Bobby, you should be looking to do something right
Tommy D.:looking to make it clear roster, scaly WAVE wireless, I'm looking
Tommy D.:for potential starters and two weeks right I'm looking for guys
Tommy D.:that I can play in two weeks. You know Bobby on the other hand
Tommy D.:he's looking for he's looking at his watch list right who are
Tommy D.:these guys? Look he's a young guys I liked in August and maybe
Tommy D.:on someone's you know maybe your team's practice squad right?
Tommy D.:Maybe now that guy you are watching right now you go pick
Tommy D.:them up right now. You'll pick them up now before because he
Tommy D.:might play these teams are going to start to get out of the
Tommy D.:playoff picture and they're going to Call up some of these
Tommy D.:young kids and they're going to play and you want to be ahead of
Tommy D.:that game, right? Yeah, and you don't need to have a 30 year old
Tommy D.:you know? You don't need to have Sammy Watkins on your rebuilding
Tommy D.:roster. You don't mean fine someone's going to pick them up
Tommy D.:good luck Tom but I'd rather have a project who busts out
Tommy D.:that Sammy Watkins on a rebuilt team that I'm just not going to
Tommy D.:do anything for me
BOBBY:no and I agree and it's actually you know that's funny
BOBBY:that you bring up Sammy Watkins because he is sitting on my my
BOBBY:roster right now just for depth purposes but I did notice for
BOBBY:quite some time we weren't actually bringing up names it
BOBBY:was a reason for it obviously get the rosters is a big one but
BOBBY:we were talking you know more of the whys you should start to
BOBBY:peel back the layers of what you were moving away from and some
BOBBY:of the some of the guys that you can go pick up now and to your
BOBBY:point I am going away from my veteran guys you know I think I
BOBBY:picked up a Josh Gordon not too long ago or with the hopes that
BOBBY:he was gonna go to Kansas City and do something but he didn't
BOBBY:so he's off the he's off my roster now
Tommy D.:yeah, it you know on the flip side I'm still picking
Tommy D.:up young guys like I picked up divine Diablo last week we play
Tommy D.:well right depending on what site is we use MFL so he's a
Tommy D.:safety some sites he is a linebacker again that's a guy I
Tommy D.:had we had our watch list that's a guy was tracking I read
Tommy D.:stories linebackers route, he played really well the week
Tommy D.:before I'm going to pick them up. I actually started this week
Tommy D.:coming like Club points. That's perfect. But those are the guys
Tommy D.:I'm looking at who's the top of my watch list from last year
Tommy D.:that is still in a roster and like MFL does a great job. But
Tommy D.:they don't show guys who are on the team. You know practice
Tommy D.:squad. Like sometimes it'll say NA or sometimes it'll have the
Tommy D.:team name so
BOBBY:we might show up as free agent do exactly so
Tommy D.:I mean dig deeper and go get those guys you know like
Tommy D.:Bobby just told you examples like he's gonna cut that dead
Tommy D.:way all those older receivers that you thought we banned his
Tommy D.:artist down and helping you rebuild next year? No, you're
Tommy D.:not going to get draft capital for I'm like, no one's gonna pay
Tommy D.:you for those guys
BOBBY:know those those band aids, if anything if they were
BOBBY:starting to get warm at the at the end of the season. And I
BOBBY:mean, injuries have been aplenty all over the place this year. So
BOBBY:my my my hope was maybe I could shift a couple of guys off for
BOBBY:literally back in volume type, seventh round picks or whatever,
BOBBY:because to your point, I am now changed my approach as to kind
BOBBY:of I want to go after next year. And I'm already looking at it.
BOBBY:So that watch list, you know, yeah, I am already picking up
BOBBY:some guys that I've I've had eyes on. Daz Newsom was one if
BOBBY:he if he ends up going on to the beers next year, but you know,
BOBBY:speculative ads,
Tommy D.:yeah, and then you can track you can track other ads. I
Tommy D.:mean, you can see what we're talking about what guys like
Tommy D.:like Brevin Jordan last week, right. He had a great game and
Tommy D.:finally, you know, they finally just unleashed him. Perfect. We
Tommy D.:saw Seattle has been using Escott Eskridge right a little
Tommy D.:bit more now right? You see these guys who basically you
Tommy D.:thought were bus like this is dynasty right? Again those are
Tommy D.:the guys that you know maybe I'm trying to buy a Brevin Jordan
Tommy D.:right maybe the owner thought that was like one game flash in
Tommy D.:the pants he's not good. Go kick the tires I got like that right?
Tommy D.:So even the way we were like anyone flashes any right you
Tommy D.:know we we don't talk a lot of you know, specific players we
Tommy D.:mentioned you know names here and there. But you know, we
Tommy D.:always preach the same thing you know, be a week ahead so if I'm
Tommy D.:looking for running back and you know the backups taken, I'm
Tommy D.:looking for the third running back and every roster right
Tommy D.:don't waste your time because almost every backup in the
Tommy D.:league is taken right? Go get that third guy right get the
Tommy D.:young kid who who don't know. But I'll give you this right the
Tommy D.:guys you don't want a Vernon back some bad teams, right?
Tommy D.:People ask me what happened with the lions last week? I don't
Tommy D.:know. I don't care. I don't want the front and back on bad teams
Tommy D.:like Robinson right. Robinson is another one who will have
Tommy D.:Robinson Robinson is great. But that team's a shit show. They
Tommy D.:just ruin people, right? Houston's the same thing.
Tommy D.:Honestly, you know, I had to start Rexburg kid last weekend
Tommy D.:finding me 10 points. And I have David Johnson. If I had to stop
Tommy D.:them, I would but I don't want anyone on that team. I'm not
Tommy D.:expecting anyone in the team to get me one. Eight to 12 once
Tommy D.:like, you're not going to go on a bad team. You're not gonna so
Tommy D.:I'm looking at like good teams and I'm looking at that You
Tommy D.:know, their backlog as we, as we, as we've seen, in some of
Tommy D.:these teams, you know, you look at a team like San Fran, who
Tommy D.:runs the ball a lot, right? He sees shit, right? So, Wilson,
Tommy D.:and we so so so I'm tracking what they're gonna do, right?
Tommy D.:You can see the progression on some of these teams were like,
Tommy D.:okay, it was going for, you know, this guy and that guy when
Tommy D.:it when zigs, you should zag. And that's, you know, what
Tommy D.:you're looking for the waiver. Why this time of year. Again,
Tommy D.:this is where the fun to watch list and the payoff comes in
Tommy D.:about. You either own a guy that is finally kicking up or you're
Tommy D.:buying gas for next year, you you're cleaning the house,
Tommy D.:you're just trying to go get anything you can to get an
Tommy D.:advantage. And that's a fun time. I've talked to owners who,
Tommy D.:you know, are in bad shape and had a lot of injuries, but
Tommy D.:they're excited, because they're going to get all that back next
Tommy D.:year. And they're like looking forward to it. It's awesome,
Tommy D.:right? And this is the also deal of time as a commissioner, and
Tommy D.:as owners in any league, right? Look at weird rules, right? Look
Tommy D.:at weird scenarios that maybe you bring up the equation and be
Tommy D.:like, Hey, listen, I saw this. What do you think about this?
Tommy D.:Alright, cool. Remind me, I'm gonna post that right after the
Tommy D.:season's over. Stuff like that. Like that's the fun part of a
Tommy D.:dynasty. It never stops. The guy like Bobby who's gonna rebuild
Tommy D.:is a newer guy. Actually, actually, Bobby probably has
Tommy D.:more fun than I do. Because I don't have the free rein to just
Tommy D.:kind of go get guys and thought the depth to kind of like, have
Tommy D.:to play that hat. Oh, no, I don't because I may
BOBBY:tend to have more activity in the offseason. And
BOBBY:then I maintain during the regular season, but that's not
BOBBY:to say that, you know, I just I do I have a lot of fun. This is
BOBBY:my favorite time of the year for dynasty starts in December.
Tommy D.:But we both agree. Number one rule in trading is
Tommy D.:never stop trading.
BOBBY:Yeah. What's the second rule?
Tommy D.:Never stopped trading.
BOBBY:Alright, well, if you think you've made a bad trade,
Tommy D.:make three other ones just doubled up. I mean,
Tommy D.:sometimes it works out when we joke league because I made a
Tommy D.:blockbuster trade like a couple months ago, and I got absolutely
Tommy D.:nothing out of that trade. Like I literally croak in the strict
Tommy D.:team actually has been playing back right. So it didn't really
Tommy D.:hurt me at all to make that really bad grades. Like it
Tommy D.:didn't really hurt me at all. And
BOBBY:it didn't hurt you upfront but what did you lose on
BOBBY:the other side? You lost I
Tommy D.:lost I lost him that but I definitely I lost death.
Tommy D.:But again, like I'm deep enough to know that I have enough to
Tommy D.:get by, you know, and I have you know, again, when I'm dealing up
Tommy D.:depths, it's you know, we play two tight ends. I have four
Tommy D.:starters so I can deal off my third one right I have the
Tommy D.:luxury you know, playing for wide receivers. You know, I have
Tommy D.:six I can I can deal to six one. Well, pardon me too bad. Yeah.
Tommy D.:Do you want to make those moves but not sometimes you can make a
Tommy D.:bad trade and it's and it's fine. Like it helps the league
Tommy D.:it helps everyone else but like, yeah, absolutely. This is the
Tommy D.:time of year to you know, always look to make trades the future
Tommy D.:now remember, and know your league. We talked about that. I
Tommy D.:mean, I trade a trade with, you know, a league mate the other
Tommy D.:day, and he's very specific. But he's a guy where you talk to him
Tommy D.:about a trade, you know, he doesn't count on the side. He's
Tommy D.:not going to go back and forth. He has a call text message
Tommy D.:conversation. This is the trade Okay, that's it. Other owners
Tommy D.:are different. You can go back and forth with counters for days
Tommy D.:and weeks. Someone is right and know your leaks. Pay attention
Tommy D.:that stuff going. You know who's desperate. Hey, this guy's never
Tommy D.:made the playoffs before I get you He's itching to win. Let me
Tommy D.:sell him to such try to help him win, even though I know he's
Tommy D.:probably gonna lose the time anyways. But he doesn't know
Tommy D.:that.
BOBBY:Well, speaking of winning, you want to win
BOBBY:obviously, this week unless you're you and then you get take
BOBBY:the week off. But for those of you who are playing this week,
BOBBY:not only do you have a Thursday night game, but you also have
BOBBY:two games on Saturday. This 16 games and it goes across four
BOBBY:days. That's a lot of football.
Tommy D.:Yeah, in football, and you also have the NFL now
Tommy D.:putting people on COVID like an hour before game time. Like you
Tommy D.:gotta back to stuff up. I mean, you gotta you gotta back it up.
Tommy D.:I mean, I know you're tight on a Monday who got you know, that
Tommy D.:came out like Sunday night. I know. I wasn't starting David
Tommy D.:Johnson. I was on the fence. But I think it was like 1145 and he
Tommy D.:was calling the COVID list. I was like, okay, that's kind of
Tommy D.:short wanting to fill his roster spot. But you know, that's what
Tommy D.:you got to be aware of right now in the NFL. Like you have to
Tommy D.:have a backup plan for every one of your starters like if you're
Tommy D.:if you're you're I am and that's what I have. I look at my
Tommy D.:roster. I'm like, okay, July and I don't carry like we play full
Tommy D.:IDP, right we play 2d tackles to DNS for linebackers, two
Tommy D.:corners, two safeties. Alright, and I usually carry not many
Tommy D.:backups to everything supplies backwards if you look at my
Tommy D.:rosters now I actually have a backup corner, I have a backup
Tommy D.:safety. I have a backup dn because I'm tracking this stuff
Tommy D.:and I don't want to get caught in a jam that come four o'clock
Tommy D.:on you know by my guys on the COVID list and he's not gonna
Tommy D.:play on Sunday night now backup plan for my so just be aware and
Tommy D.:try to backup as many positions and like I said you can cut that
Tommy D.:dead weight that you're not going to play. And you know is
Tommy D.:garbage in fringe because you know what you read the backups
Tommy D.:from defensive positions that you're going to need to play.
Tommy D.:Quarterback so you got Kyler Murray you shouldn't be have you
Tommy D.:see that McCoy if you got Lamar Jackson, you should have Who was
Tommy D.:the guy where the trade was wasn't McSorely last week, which
Tommy D.:was McSorely was the other one came in film on Jackson wasn't
Tommy D.:McSorely
BOBBY:and that's great question. My head My head My
BOBBY:head's gonna scratch. I want to say I'm sorry three but that was
BOBBY:three years ago. So that doesn't help us.
Tommy D.:No, no, it doesn't. But like that's the point. I
Tommy D.:mean, do I want to backup every quarterback in the league? No, I
Tommy D.:don't want to backup every it was Huntley. Sorry, it was
Tommy D.:humbly but like, again, you know, that's the guy kicking the
Tommy D.:tires on have them on your roster. You know, just in case,
Tommy D.:guy, you know popsicle, but it's something to throw in a no one
Tommy D.:wants to lose a game because you didn't have you didn't have a
Tommy D.:starter because the guy bought COVID Especially in the playoff
Tommy D.:run. So, you know, try to get those backups on the way of wire
Tommy D.:clear up some of that dead weight and backups in those
Tommy D.:positions to cover your ass. And I don't usually do that, except
Tommy D.:this time here this time of year I will especially the rate that
Tommy D.:guys have been, you know, getting injured, and you on the
Tommy D.:IR back and forth. I did learn an IR rule today. I did not know
Tommy D.:this because it hasn't come up. I did not know that a guy can
Tommy D.:not go on the IR twice and come back both times.
BOBBY:So are you trying to tell me that a guy who is IR to
BOBBY:return can also go on COVID? No,
Tommy D.:I didn't say COVID I said IR IR so you can't be
Tommy D.:designated returns my IR twice. Beside pass it on some I learned
Tommy D.:that I was like, kind of makes sense, I guess.
BOBBY:Start playing the game I guess
Tommy D.:when you season's over, which you know, some of
Tommy D.:these players might be in some might be coming back right? I
Tommy D.:mean another guy that we like to buy, I'll give you Michael
Tommy D.:Carter the white card or right now why he should be back this
Tommy D.:week. I'm gonna have to see in practice. But again, you know,
Tommy D.:if I'm making a run, I'm buying them for next week if I need you
Tommy D.:know, maybe the owner Rasm is like I'm out I don't think the
Tommy D.:students gonna play and the Jets suck. Alright, maybe you can get
Tommy D.:them at cost. Perfect right? Those are the guys that kind of
Tommy D.:go on and get like, you know, look at that, you know, maybe
Tommy D.:you buy like a Robert was cheaper, right? He's the guy I
Tommy D.:kicked the tires on. I kind of want too much on him. But, you
Tommy D.:know, I'm still trying to buy debt for the future buyer. I
Tommy D.:look at teams, IRS bots and be like, okay, you know, who does
Tommy D.:he got that I can get them started for this spot. The one
Tommy D.:thing you're not going to be buying is a goddamn running
Tommy D.:back. You can try to buy some of your backups. It's a good time
Tommy D.:to swap backups finding out who has won your backup view of what
Tommy D.:it is. It's a good time to look for that stuff. Because you know
