Fantasy Football Party Zone Coverage

Mount up! ... It means get on your horses.
 
The Fantasy Football Party-goers unleashed their final episode of the 2018 season on an unsuspecting holiday party in the Beer Hall at JL Beers, dropping knowledge like it was hot and providing a dedicated listener base with all the knowledge necessary to build stacks of cash and take down season-long leagues.
 
Yep. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
 
Sipping his traditional beverage, Bo reveled in his 50/50 win while reflecting on a season filled with Chubb and Smallwood.
 
Danny, I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen; all you have to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking...let things happen...and be...the ball.
 
Magsh twisted all the dials and knobs, rueing that his upcoming showdown with Bo in their shared dynasty league would be for third place and not a big shiny trophy. And he remembered to hit “record” so the news team didn’t have to mess with anything technical above their pay grade.
 
Yeah! The phone in the limo was busted. What is ya, ignorant?
 
Nattily attired in his dress Zubaz, 2V once again leaned heavily on the JL Beers staff—and not just as he staggered out to Santa’s sleigh. They delivered a pair of tasty beverages that were right in 2V’s wheelhouse of a warming, creamy mouthfeel—and well into the double-digits ABV-wise. And it didn’t affect his ability to dispense sage advice coherently. As least that’s what he’ll tell you.
 
Despite all the little problems it's fun isn't it? No. But with every new day there's fresh hope.
 
(Narrator: Bingo!)
 
Thanks for listening, and reading, and following on social media. Hopefully the Party-goers have done more good than harm, and you’ll track us down in 2019 for another fun-filled fantasy football extravaganza..
 
And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further. We say that every week, and it’s more than just a line from “The Shawshank Redemption.” It’s an arduous journey, and we know many of you just aren’t willing to plow through this much prose. But rest assured, the payoff is worth it. What our show sponsors can do for you boggles the mind; check out these deals while you’re listening to the show, and we know you won’t be disappointed.

We really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside)
Two weeks ’til we go away (Baby it's cold outside)
This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in)
So very nice (On Joshua Allen we’ll roll the dice)
 
Our mothers will start to worry (Don’t start Latavious Murray)
Our fathers will be pacing the floor (Need a running back who can score)
(Narrator: So evidently not Frank Gore)
So really you’d better scurry (We’re toast if Packer fans are the jury)
Well maybe just a half a drink more (That JL Beers staff knows what to pour)
 
The listeners might think (Mitch Trubisky’s a Bear)
Order up one more drink? (Clay Matthews has pretty hair)
We wish we knew how (to quit Tre’Quan Smith—yeow!)
To break this spell (First Bo, then 2V… aw, hell! Another zero!)
 
We ought to say no, no, no (For Zubaz use FFPHOHOHO)
At least we’re gonna say that we tried (even if we’re playing for pride)
We really can't stay (Janikowski had gout)
Baby it's cold outside
 
And with that the Fantasy Football Party-goers closed their song books and backed away from the front door of JL Beers, where they’d been caroling and carrying on for the better part of an hour.
 
(Narrator: The fine representatives of the police department had nothing to do with their departure. Mere coincidence.)
 
Yes, the penultimate episode of the FFP podcast is in the books, with all the news and views you need to set your DFS lineups and/or survive and advance in your season-long playoffs during this critical Week 15. You had Magsh running the board with aplomb (and opposable thumbs), Bo offering sage wisdom as the show’s own fuzzy Buddha, and 2V moving up in class to the 15% ABV beer which made him that much more interesting… to himself.
 
Beyond description, this week’s podcast—like each episode before it—must be experienced to be believed. Do so now, if you dare. ‘Cuz baby it’s cold outside.

On the uno dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a Stone Xocoveza from JL Beers.
 
On the dos dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… dos Buffalo receivers kicked to the curb.
 
On the tres dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… tres 50/50 lineups to help fill that gaping hole in your roster left by James Connor’s injury and Kareem Hunt’s stupidity.
 
On the quatro dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… quarto active Ravens running backs, making the backfield a muddy quagmire for fantasy owners.
 
On the cinco dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… cinco Golden Tates.
 
(Narrator: That was too easy. Try harder.)
 
On the seis dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… seis Lamar Jackson fumbles. That’s a lot of el droppos for a running back, even if they’re disguised as a quarterback.
 
(Roberto McKenzie: This is too hard. Let’s skip ahead a couple days.)
 
On the nueve dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… another bebe for Rios de Philipo.
 
On the dies dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a pair of Mitch Trubisky autographed Zubaz for our beloved Bears fan trapped so far from the Windy City.
 
On the once dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… once Ebron receiving touchdowns.
 
(Narrator: Suck it, Magsh!)
 
On the doce dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a head coaching job, merely a formality for Number 12 in Green Bay. We’re not owners, don’t blame us for pink-slipping a husband and father so close to the holidays.
 
(Narrator: Wait, you’re not done? Please kill me now.)
 
On the trece dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… trece players thrown under the bus, one for each of Ben Roethlisberger’s interceptions.
 
On the catorce dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a Week Catorce fantasy playoff win!
 
As Lili von Shtupp so famously sang, “I’m so tired.” Now, what are you waiting for? Press play and let the dulcet tones of Bo, Magsh, and 2V run down your earhole and pump your brain full of fantasy football goodness.
 
And if you've come this far, maybe you're willing to come a little further.

There’s a passage the Fantasy Football Party-goers have memorized. Ezekiel Elliott 25:17. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children.”
 
So we’re thinking: maybe James Connor is the evil man. And Baker Mayfield is the righteous man. And Mr. Jonnu Smith here… he’s the shepherd protecting our righteous asses in the valley of darkness.
 
Or it could mean Frank Gore is the righteous man and Anthony Miller is the shepherd and it’s Ricky Seals-Jones that’s evil and selfish. And we’d like that.
 
But that ain’t the truth. The truth is Wendell Smallwood is weak. And Nick Chubb is the tyranny of evil men. But he’s tryin’, Ringo. He’s tryin’ real hard to be the shepherd.
 
Flip open the suitcase and stare in slack-jawed awe as Bo unleashes his Samuel Jacksons stack on the 50/50. Dig into the bag and pull out a wallet that says “Bad Maggio” on it, then spend the extra DFS cash on Nyheim Hines.
 
You know, 2V’s getting kinda tired. Maybe from giving Alex Collins and Tre’Quan Smith foot massages.
 
If our answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.
 
Yes, it was all there in an out-of-sequence fashion set to great 70s music: the immediate regrets, the game-by-game fantasy-relevant news, the dumpster-diving for budget DFS/season-long roster filler to salvage your season and set you on the path to the playoffs.
 
Plus 2V set a 50/50 lineup that made sewer rat taste like pumpkin pie, Magsh ain’t no country I’ve ever heard of, and…
 
BANG!
 
I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I didn't mean to do that. Please, continue, you were saying something about best intentions. What's the matter? Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort.
 
Bo’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
 
And they will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy our brothers.
 
We happy?
 
(Narrator: Yeah, we happy.)

As we gather around the table to give thanks for a third NFL game on Turkey Day so we don’t have to actually interact with relatives, the Fantasy Football Party-goers also give thanks for you, the listener. And pumpkin pie.
 
Don’t ask us to prioritize.
 
Gathering a night early so that our respective families may enjoy the same juvenile humor you the listener are treated to on a weekly basis, the Party-goers dished out regrets from last week (John Harbaugh and his rotating backfield is banished to the kiddie table), passed the plate around a full slate of Week 12 games, and served up three 50/50 lineups so delicious we can guarantee there will be no leftovers.
 
Before you chow down on turkey, stuffing (not dressing), and sweet potatoes (preferably with marshmallows, no raisins please)—or after, we’re not the kind to judge—give a listen as Bo directed traffic to and around the turkey hole, 2V tested the limits of both his Zubaz waistband and the PC tolerance of nearby tables, and Magsh conducted the FFP’s first annual turkey drop in the JL Beers parking lot.
 
(Narrator: As God is my witness, he thought turkeys could fly.)
 
Of course, you’ll still get plenty of bullet-point material to drop at the dinner table when Crazy Uncle Ned asks how your fantasy team is doing; multiple helpings of players available in plenty of leagues who could pull your proverbial drumstick out of the fire this week; and a steaming pile of Duke Johnson discussion into which we didn’t even bother to insert Chubb or Smallwood.
 
(Narrator: Be thankful this holiday only comes around once a year.)

In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as our names are Lucky Day, Ned Nederlander, and Dusty Bottoms… uh, Anthony Maggio, Bo Mitchell, and John Tuvey, the people of Santa Poco—and anyone anywhere who hears our podcast—can conquer their own personal El Guapo, who also happens to be *the actual* El Guapo!
 
No one was more excited for Mexico to host a real live NFL game than the Spanish-speaking—or at least the Mexican food-loving—hosts of the Fantasy Football Party podcast. We had our Spanish sounders queued up, our guacamole ready to spread… and then the NFL goes and moves the game to the City of Angels because the field looked like a Bea Arthur Brazilian gone horribly awry.
 
Still, we persevered.
 
(Narrator: Way to gut it out, hombres).
 
There were the usual… what’s Spanish for shenanigans? El shenanigans? Los shenanigans? In any event, there were the usual shenanigans, with mucho regrets and bueno information and… okay, burrito is the only other Spanish word I know and it doesn’t really fit here. But it would be filling.
 
But we digress.
 
Highlights of the positively en fuego podcast included Bo reveling in his listener league win and talking about creating a double or even triple entry Pump N Go tournament; Mash reveling in his 50/50 win (again) and vouching for Anthony M’s everywhere; and 2V reveling in the high ABV of his Lift Bridge snifters while bemoaning the fact he was stuck playing in the Wrist Shot nightly.
 
Celebrate the catorce of the month with the vigor the Party-goers clearly did as you enjoy the Week 11 podcast and everything that goes along with it.
