I mean, losing to the Cardinals at home. At home. We're ten point favorites, nine and a half point favorites to start the game. And we lose by what almost fifteen points. Like Jeremy Spencer: Yeah it's Chuck Atkinson: that's that's Charger land for you. Like the best looking Jeremy Spencer: There's the Chuck Atkinson: jerseys in football. The biggest letdowns on the field though. Jeremy Spencer: Well, yeah. You can't have it all. You can have nice Chuck Atkinson: No, no, it's no. Jeremy Spencer: jerseys or you can have winning football. Chuck Atkinson: Right, you can have a great quarterback, some nice jerseys, but you can't have a great defense. No, that's right. no, so Jeremy Spencer: it's the first week. Nobody can't overreact yet. It's week one. Chuck Atkinson: we exactly week one overreactions, unless you're a charger fan, in which case it's a reality for you for 18 weeks. Sorry. but no, Jeremy Spencer: Well we'll see we've got Chuck Atkinson: let's get on to better news. so today, guys, we're gonna talk about what's going on in the world of sports, what's up with Kawhi. Raptor again. the Blue Jays still hanging in the thick of things there with two weeks to go and ball. hockey. We got some action on the hockey front with the Habs. They're making some news. Jeremy Spencer: yeah. Chuck Atkinson: And what else do we have on the go today, Jerry? Anything else? what's going on that anything? Am I miss am I missing anything? Jeremy Spencer: I think I think you're you're covering the pretty much the lowdown. you know, NFL week one NFL week one Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. All right. And and yeah. NFL week one. Yeah, we're gonna Jeremy Spencer: is just pretty much finishing up or watching the the the the Broncos and the Chiefs right now, the the Kansas Chuck Atkinson: The Chiefs, the Chiefs and the Broncos. Yep. Jeremy Spencer: City Chefs to to draw. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, J Jar's hole hoping Jar's hoping for a big game from Walker tonight. He needs at least fifteen points to go two Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, I need a big game for Walker. Well, not a huge game, but Chuck Atkinson: and two and in his Riverview team. So best of luck there. And yeah, that's what Jeremy Spencer: That's two no. If if Walker can get a certain amount of points, which we'll leave undisclosed at the moment, 'cause I just don't want to have any bad luck. Chuck Atkinson: He needs fifteen folks. Jeremy Spencer: I don't need anybody rooting against how many points I need to win this game. Chuck Atkinson: Well, I need at least sixty five from Rashiv Rice tonight, so hard pressed on that, but Jeremy Spencer: Well we that's not happening. Chuck Atkinson: one and one. We're gonna leave one in one this weekend, the X Factor. So Jeremy Spencer: I need a reasonable number out of Walker the Third. Chuck Atkinson: Well, fifteen is reasonable. He's already at last Jeremy Spencer: That Chuck Atkinson: I checked, twelve, ten, twelve points, so another half to go. Barring any injuries, Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: he's he's a cakewalk to get you in our two or three points. So you're solid. Absolutely. Jeremy Spencer: Rollin' along. Rolling right along. Chuck Atkinson: So we're gonna talk football, of course, and fantasy football. We're gonna give our power rankings. Jared and I, we're just gonna give our twelve team rankings for our our league leading into the season. Pre-draft week one, the post draft week one. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, for anybody that cares. there might be twelve of us. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Did I not say Jeremy Spencer: Is Chuck Atkinson: twelve? Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, there's twelve. I was just saying those Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, yeah. Jeremy Spencer: might be the only people to care where we're ranked. Chuck Atkinson: Right, I get ya. Well, you know what? They're gonna learn about our teams throughout the year. Maybe a few of our fans out in the podcast world, YouTube Jeremy Spencer: That's right. Maybe Chuck Atkinson: world will latch on to some of our other teammates there and that's right. Jeremy Spencer: there's there's a lot of fantasy football fans around. More there's a lot more idiots just like us. Chuck Atkinson: You know what? They should all be doing something like this. Not all of you, 'cause we don't want your competition. Anyways. We're gonna give you our rankings from one to twelve in our fantasy league. just for shits and giggles. Hope you guys enjoy it. And so we're gonna jump right in, talking football, NFL. yeah, like I said, my Chargers, Jared, they suck, bud. They do. They really suck. What can Jeremy Spencer: I know, you're not you don't have a lot of confidence in them, but they're not they're not the the professionals don't think they're gonna be that terrible. Chuck Atkinson: I have eight I I I have seventeen, seventeen more weeks of pain and suffering. It's a field goal missed here, a drop pass missed there, an injury here to a tackle, a guard. it's just nonstop suffering in the powder blue, unfortunately. I'm a realist. I'm not gonna say we're gonna make the playoffs until we actually win a playoff game. And then I can confidently say next year we've actually are gonna win a playoff game, but we're not gonna this year. So, yeah, who who who do you think what do you think is going on around the league there, Jerry? What's up with the Rams? Jeremy Spencer: what is up with the Rams? What what was the score of that game again? Are they who they say they are? I always Chuck Atkinson: Are they who they say they are? Are they who they say they are? Right? Jeremy Spencer: like the Rams. What was the score of that game yesterday? Chuck Atkinson: But well back yeah, the one that was in Australia, right? that one there, they they got to get what Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Or that yeah, the Australian game. Chuck Atkinson: twelve points, thirteen point loss, was it? Fourteen point loss? Yeah, twenty seven seven, twenty point loss, sorry, twenty seven seven. And Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. It it was it was yeah, that's right. They but it was not a very good game for you know, a lot of people showed up, but Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, a lot of people showed up a week early to get ready for the game. A lot of people showed up a day earlier day early before the game and weren't ready. Yeah. Ugh. Yeah, they put a team over there. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Do you think they're gonna put a team over there? Like they have a lot of people that want to go see. Chuck Atkinson: let's let's put one over in Mexico City too while we're at it. I mean Jeremy Spencer: Well, I think Canada. We should get one first. Chuck Atkinson: It'd be nice if we got one, but in reality we're never gonna get one. They keep on talking. Jeremy Spencer: You know, we've got one baseball team, maybe we could get one NFL team. Be cool. Chuck Atkinson: that will never happen. They keep on saying they're gonna put a team overseas in England. They they honestly do that to grow their fan base, to milk the cash cow. It it it yeah, do they still Jeremy Spencer: Doesn't make sense. Maybe start another league again. They tried that. Chuck Atkinson: do they yeah, they don't run NFL Europe anymore, do they? Jeremy Spencer: Don't think so. Chuck Atkinson: I don't think so. I haven't heard that since the Kurt Warner days. back then. But Jeremy Spencer: I don't know. Chuck Atkinson: yeah, no, I don't I can't see them ever putting a team in in Europe, England, Germany. it's nice to go there once every other year for for the fans. But you think players are gonna want to travel that distance? I mean, look what happened to the Ramses traveling the day before. Gonna make everybody travel the week before in order to have a half decent game. The season would last eight months, have a game every two weeks. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, it's Chuck Atkinson: It's impossible. Not to mention, Jeremy Spencer: I don't yeah. Chuck Atkinson: you know, the the injuries that would come come about as a result on top of it from all the wear and tear travel, you're not resting properly. yeah, I just it's it's a nice thought in theory. But if the CFL can't work in the States, the NFL can't work globally. I mean, it does in the sense that we can go there for one game. in a country once a year with one team two teams and then do five of those with ten teams. Nobody's going around the world twice internationally. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Right? So it just doesn't make any sense. But no, it was Jeremy Spencer: No. Chuck Atkinson: the 49ers got their win. I don't believe the Rams are who they say they are and who everybody thinks they are. I think there's just a little too much overhype and Listen, I wouldn't be surprised if they make the mis if they miss the playoffs. That's my prediction, but that's my hot take, is the Rams won't even make the playoffs this year. Jeremy Spencer: that is a hot take. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, yeah. And the forty niners will actually go to the Super Bowl and win it. That is my big hot take for the season. Yeah. Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: Wow. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Who do you who do you think? Who do you think is gonna take it all? Just try to rummage through the 32 teams. I know it's early, but it's preseason. Jeremy Spencer: Super Bowl? well. Chuck Atkinson: It's the it's the early season predictions, right? So who who do you think's gonna win it all when you when you look at Ober? Jeremy Spencer: Well, my heart always says the Packers and Chuck Atkinson: Right. Jeremy Spencer: I think they're still a team that can they're they got a they get a chance. But they didn't look that great the other day, but I still feel they're they're a team with a chance. But if you want me to go, you know, go off the board on on something a little bit Chuck Atkinson: Well, I I I want you to go off your heart not don't go off your heart, go off, you know, who you think Jeremy Spencer: I liked I like the jaguars. I like the jags. Chuck Atkinson: Thirty one other teams or thirty one other teams. We know the Browns, the Jets, the Titans aren't one of them. Jeremy Spencer: The Jags. Chuck Atkinson: The Jags, there we go. I like that hot take. That is nice. That's nice. What do you what Jeremy Spencer: You know. Chuck Atkinson: do you think? I like Lawrence. Great quarterback. I think he's grown a lot over the last few years. Right? Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, the flow. It's it's the f you know, there's no other quarterback. You you know, there's Trevor Lawrence every time you see him. Chuck Atkinson: I was I was one of these nuts that when I saw this video the preseason ranking or the pre-season schedule release that they do for the season, the season schedule release, sorry. it showed him cutting his hair. And I thought, that was about time. But then I saw Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: the haircut and I thought, no, he no, he just shouldn't have. Jeremy Spencer: No. well. But no, they're they're they're they're they're a legit AFC contender. It does. Chuck Atkinson: No, he didn't. He didn't. Thankfully, thankfully he didn't. The main works, the main works for him. Yeah, definitely. Jeremy Spencer: But yeah. I don't know. Most rankings have them somewhere between like six and ten, but I think they're they they're they got a legitimate chance. Just a fun Chuck Atkinson: I do. Jeremy Spencer: team. I mean, they walloped Cleveland yesterday, but anybody can do that. But you know, thirty thirty four to ten. Chuck Atkinson: That's not saying a lot. I mean, that's like playing the they could have put out a Jeremy Spencer: That that's how Chuck Atkinson: JV squad and played Cleveland and they still could have whooped them. I mean, let's be Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: real. What's going on in Cleveland is an absolute joke. Deshaun Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Watson, what's up with this guy? he he hasn't played football in what? A half a century? No, like a Jeremy Spencer: You you've been on it you've been on it before the season even started. Chuck Atkinson: anybody that thinks of Deshaun Watson, your first memory is and and to was it Hopkins? What's his first name? I can't remember. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Sorry. Anthony Hopkins? No, definitely not Anthony Hopkins. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Yeah. yeah, that no not that guy. It's a different Hopkins. Chuck Atkinson: No, no, no. Well well well I mean he he's kinda playing like him, he's going around looking like he's gonna eat people. I mean shit. Excuse the language, Jeremy Spencer: Ha ha Chuck Atkinson: folks, but I mean Deshaun Watson, yeah, maybe he ate Hopkins. Who was it? Jeremy Spencer: I I don't know. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, certainly not Anthony Hopkins. but yeah, whoever it was, Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, I lost total training. Chuck Atkinson: but yeah, that's just my point, though. That's the last time Watson was actually relevant in the NFL, back in his Houston days. Does anybody remember what he did Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: in Cleveland other than hanging out, you know, with with Masseuses? No. Jeremy Spencer: Mm-hmm. Chuck Atkinson: No. What else is he known for in Cleveland other than pissing people off on the microphone? He's not known for completing passes unless it's you know interceptions to the other team. The guy's a bum. What else is there to say? And he's dragging the team down with him. Jeremy Spencer: I don't know. I know I'm wearing a Cleveland Browns hat. but I I I I just like the hat a lot. It's a it's a sharp hat. Like that logo guy Chuck Atkinson: And that's right. That's right. Well, that's how this Jeremy Spencer: right there? Like what is that? Ha who what explain that? Cleveland Browns. That's not what you think of, but that was a logo. Chuck Atkinson: Well, I I I I can't I can't tell ya. I can't tell ya. he's dry he's dropping a big deuce on that thing to make it brown. I'd have no idea. I have no idea what's going on there. I don't think anybody in Cleveland has any idea what's going on with their team either, which must be beautiful. You're all dreaming of Tim Jeremy Spencer: Chiefs just took a fourteen seven lead. Chuck Atkinson: Fourteen what who got it? Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Was it Rasheed? Jeremy Spencer: Just saw Taylor Swift. There's a Taylor Swift sighting. Chuck Atkinson: Yay, Taylor Swift is at the game. Jeremy Spencer: Ha ha. Chuck Atkinson: Big deal. Seriously. Jeremy Spencer: You know, the Chiefs have thirty seven percent more fans now. Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. And they're all between the ages of they're Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. I don't know, I just made that note. I Chuck Atkinson: all between the ages of ten and twelve. Jeremy Spencer: I just made that up, but like Chuck Atkinson: Ha ha ha. Jeremy Spencer: Luke was telling me that the Yeah, I don't know, but a lot of people are watch a lot of people are watching, Yeah. Yep. Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Well, good for a lot of people then. I'm happy for them. But yeah. Go Browns. Go Browns. Let's see ya. Jeremy Spencer: Makes it makes the Ronald Rangers watch. Mm-hmm. Chuck Atkinson: Somebody's gonna watch at least. no, let's see what happens with the Browns, though. Maybe Shador Sanders can come in and save the day. That's my prediction. He'll do that by week three. back when the Browns are playing at home. they just threw Watson in there, I think, just to take a couple of L's, get their $230 million worth, and say they they actually tried, which we all know they don't really want to try with this guy. They just don't. It's all about saving face right now for everybody involved. And they can't wait till the season's over and to dump his ass. This is how it's gonna go. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But I doubt it. Yeah. But you know, Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. No, they Chuck Atkinson: it's almost you know, it's almost like people in New York and it for the Jets and Tennessee right now are going, Wow, I I've could be worse, I could be a brown. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. And the Jets, man, like Chuck Atkinson: You know, you look at those two teams, you look at those two teams and hey, at least we got Gino. At least we got Gino. Jeremy Spencer: The Jets are like the leafs of hockey. Chuck Atkinson: Well, I wouldn't go that hardcore. That's hardcore. That's that's at least the Leafs have made the playoffs. The they make Jeremy Spencer: I'm sorry, Leafs. I'm sorry. Chuck Atkinson: the playoffs at least though. I mean come on. It's it's what was it nineteen sixty seven still? Was that Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: the year they won the cup last? It is, Okay. Jeremy Spencer: Yep. That's the year. Just in case anybody need to Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, I just yeah, I just I haven't seen it. I just Jeremy Spencer: remind me. Chuck Atkinson: well that I have to go by memory because information being passed down through the years, because that there's no actual footage, I don't think, of that happening, is there? Is it yeah? Hieroglyphics It's all in Sanskrit on the wall. Ooh, I Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Hieroglyphrics. Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: gotta read what it says. It says that he won the Stanley Cup in nineteen sixty seven. Ooh. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Must be great. I mean at least the Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Habs got it in ninety three. That was somewhat recent. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, it's that still seems like eons ago. My beard definitely wasn't this this gray. Chuck Atkinson: No, no. Jeremy Spencer: No. Chuck Atkinson: But you know, at least it's been in this half century that you can you can actually say you saw them win the Stanley Cup. And Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, and I can kinda Chuck Atkinson: twice, twice, you saw them win it twice. Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: I'm starting to sniff another one. Chuck Atkinson: Well, you might want to get that checked out at our age there, man. I don't know. Could be something else. Could be something else, Bruin. I don't I don't Jeremy Spencer: I don't know if it's allergies or Chuck Atkinson: know. This commercial break is brought pro brought to you by was it who is again? men depends for men. That's right. When you need a good depend, depend on men. They're good. Jeremy Spencer: What? I'm lost. Chuck Atkinson: Right? Well you s you smelled something cooking there with the halves. And I just thought you'd mistaken it for Jeremy Spencer: That's right. Chuck Atkinson: something else cooking. So Jeremy Spencer: no. Chuck Atkinson: that the is that the Jeremy Spencer: The Stanley Cup cooking. Chuck Atkinson: is that the the ALP that you're drinking there? Jeremy Spencer: That's the the alpine. In strange colours, but it is an alpine. Chuck Atkinson: It is. If you those are what Montreal Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Canadian colours, I think, aren't they? Jeremy Spencer: Well yeah, you could look at it that way. Chuck Atkinson: I'll let you look at it that way. Jeremy Spencer: That's how I like to look at it. Chuck Atkinson: shoot. So what else is on the what's on channel for today, Jerry? What else do you want touch? football, shoot, Jeremy Spencer: Well, we got we we got lots of stuff. Do you wanna why Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: don't we chat a little bit about our our our fantasy football team rankings? Yeah, like I'll Chuck Atkinson: rankings? You wanna do the rankings? Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: I'll just yank that up here right now and we'll we'll we'll talk Chuck Atkinson: Well, easy, buddy. Easy. Let's talk football first. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. There you go. crap. What's going on here? There. See that? Chuck Atkinson: All right. Yeah, I see that. Do our f do our hopefully our viewers see it as well. I'm sure you all do. Jeremy Spencer: The way too early power rankings. Chuck get could get his head out of the gutter. We could chat about the power rankings. Chuck Atkinson: Well, if you can stop with the double entendres there, I mean that'd be nice. That'd be nice. I I Jeremy Spencer: All right. So Chuck Atkinson: hope I hope I use that term correctly, folks. I'm not all that well educated. Jeremy Spencer: I don't know. Yeah. So going back to the Riverview what's the name of the league? The Riverview Fantasy Football League. Chuck Atkinson: Riverview Fantasy Football. This is our commissioner, people. He doesn't know the name of our league. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, it's it's been a while. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: It's the RFFL. Anyway, so Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Jeremy Spencer: We've got the rankings and if you've been following along at all, which it would be amazing if anybody actually was, you're gonna s notice that I, the flea bastards, have ranked myself first. That's because it's the year of the fleas. We're just gonna mention it. It's gonna it's gonna come up, but it's the year of the fleas. And so that means number one. And Chuck Atkinson: Bet I I couldn't have said it better myself if I were you. Jeremy Spencer: But right, like there's no there's no stats behind this. This is not statistical. Chuck Atkinson: There's no analytics behind this reasoning, folks. There's no statistical history at all. There's no there's no pattern of success behind it. Jeremy Spencer: None at all. You'll find you'll come to find that a lot of my analysis have no basis whatsoever. Well, Chuck Atkinson: That is a fact. Jeremy Spencer: but sometimes things come true. And this is one of those times. So the fleet bastards, number one. Chuck Atkinson: The one the one the one fact that he does actually have pretty pretty on cue every time is the Leafs just won't win the cup that year. Jeremy Spencer: Well, that's an easy prediction. Like a lot of us get that one Chuck Atkinson: Right. Jeremy Spencer: every year. Yeah. In the in what we call the broadcasting s circuit. Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. All right. So Jerry, yeah, lead us off with with your rankings, man. let's go. Jeremy Spencer: So so I'm gonna I'm gonna break this. We're we're not gonna get too scientific. but anybody in the league that's watching, the you can see the rankings right here on this left side. so the flea bastards are number one. Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Jeremy Spencer: I'm giving the X Factor the number two spot only out of respect to the winning the last two years in a row. We've heard it all. But the chances anybody winning them three times in a row is not good. That's why he's not number one. Plus, I have to go ahead of that in order for it to be the year of the fleas. So that puts me ahead of him. Chuck Atkinson: Naturally. Jeremy Spencer: So number three, we've got Jay Hansen and Joe Strait with the upper deckers. So they just put together good teams year after year. this year they've got a bunch of veterans on their team. Don't remember who they are right off the bat. But I've got them I've got them ranked third. After that, Chuck Atkinson: Okay. Jeremy Spencer: we've got s the the Kryptonians, which is Tyler. And I've got him number four. He he doesn't you know, he's always hovering around mid pack. Sometimes he's the bottom, sometimes he's mid. But this year we're going four. No real reason. after that, we've got only Finns. The only Finns are the newbies in the league. And they took over a little Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Yeah, Jeff Hanson, yeah. Jeremy Spencer: bit of yeah, a little bit of a a team. But so but what they've done Chuck Atkinson: He's got a good s he took over a good situation there. Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: yeah, and what they did was they drafted themselves a few superstars. So they're Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: they're like I like to call them the team of superstars. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, it's not hard to Jeremy Spencer: And Chuck Atkinson: start out a season with and feel bad for somebody when you have Jackson Smith and Jigba and Jamar Chase as your top two receivers. So boo hoo to Jeff and his struggles this year. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. So I'll and that's that's what we got going on for that. So yeah, they they've got a lot of guys. Drake May, Josh Jacobs, Williams, Jamar Chase, loaded up with some stars. And yeah, so I'm gonna c I'm gonna put them in seven. Number eight, we've got we've got the Dak attack and another guy that's always in the mix. so I've got him at number six. Yeah, I got nothing really say about Dak Dak, but I know he doesn't have Dak Prescott, but he's he's still Chuck Atkinson: Ha ha. Jeremy Spencer: a Dak Attack. so we're going we're going with that, we're gonna move on to number seven. And number seven, we've got the Ronald Rangers here. Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Jeremy Spencer: yeah, Luke's put together a decent team. He's got he's got Justin Jefferson there, he's got Devonta Smith, Devontae Adams, you know, as marked down there. Travis Kelsey. See, that's why I told you that he gets he gets Travis Kelsey so he can watch Taylor Swift on Sundays. Chuck Atkinson: He made sure to buy all he made sure to Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: buy all her albums and draft Travis Kelsey. Jeremy Spencer: Well, if you have Travis Kelsey, you get to usually see Taylor Swift on Sundays when you're watching. So that's that's why Luke got him. Anyway, so going to number number eight. I've put the the picks. another, you know, the picks spends a little a little lackluster the last little bit, but there's a little bit of upside there. But he has a lot of quarterbacks. So hopefully maybe he'll turn that into some some extra muscle somewhere else where he needs it in a trade. And that could benefit him and give him a a decent team and maybe could push him up out of his eight spot. But right now he's got three really good quarterbacks, can only play one. So And then I've got the sea dogs sitting number nine. Just I like Josh Allen a lot. But after that, I wasn't as impressed with his team. But according to yesterday, he's he shouldn't have no problems. But I still got him sitting number nine. So I'll I'll live I'll live with it. Then after that we've got the Oilers. It's Big Wayne. I don't know, he's not gonna like this ranking at number ten. Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Senior Spencer is not gonna like it. Jeremy Spencer: But it's an it's an art it it could surprise ya. Like it's got a team of you know, Jaden Daniels is you know, could could be a solid quarterback for ya. And that Devon Achain, solid guy, paid big bucks for Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: cook. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, it's a pretty good pair. Jeremy Spencer: Quinchon Junk J I can't even say the guy's name, but Quinchon Judkins of the Chuck Atkinson: There you go. Jeremy Spencer: Cleveland Browns. excellent prospect could be but he's place for the Browns. So you just you don't know. And Chuck Atkinson: That's exactly it. Jeremy Spencer: yeah. So we we got him at number 10. And up and at number 11 are the Pythons. Another team that is usually always in the mix, but I I had to you know, there's twelve teams. Somebody's gotta finish at the end. So this year this year we've got got the Pythons. Chuck Atkinson: I like your I I like your sensor job there, except for it's you know maybe you need to drop it a third. Jeremy Spencer: I don't know. Anyway, that's Chuck Atkinson: You got their faces pretty good. Jeremy Spencer: shoot. Well that's just I I'm not in control of logos. Chuck Atkinson: good old Brian. Jeremy Spencer: I'm not I'm not in charge of logos. And Chuck Atkinson: Ha ha. Jeremy Spencer: then here we go with the the bandits. I got Bobby at last. He's probably not Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Jeremy Spencer: gonna like this. We're gonna bring him on the show to talk about it and tell me why. He's not gonna be last this year. That's kinda why I put him there. So that we can get him on there and have a little conversation with with Bob. See if he can explain himself out of last place. I got no real Chuck Atkinson: Absolutely. Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: reason why I put him in last place. Well well I do. The reason is he's aimed to be good in twenty twenty nine. and right Chuck Atkinson: Like work. Jeremy Spencer: now we're playing the twenty twenty six season. Chuck Atkinson: Six he's playing the long game. He he's he's on round one of round Jeremy Spencer: So Chuck Atkinson: four. Jeremy Spencer: that that's the only, you know, most of his he most of his team is rookies. He he does have Puka Nakua. Like him. But and Trey McBride, another good another good guy. But after that he's pretty much he's pretty much going for the going for the long game with the rookies. Kenyan Sadiq and Jonah Coleman and more. Chuck Atkinson: He yeah, he still has Ashton, right? So Jeremy Spencer: Yep, see this over here. Are we playing for two twenty twenty six or twenty twenty nine? That's what I put down there for the for for Bob. So that's my rankings, Chuck. You wanna Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, absolutely. No, I I I I like that. For sure, for sure. Jeremy Spencer: Explain yours to everybody and you know, I'll go back up here and we'll start back at the top where I put myself number one 'cause it's the year of the fleas. And you go from there. Chuck Atkinson: Okay. Yeah. Sure. So well it's a different take on the top twelve, one through twelve than I'm gonna have here. so naturally I'm gonna put myself at numero uno, number one, and back to back seasons as you're reigning, defending, undisputed Riverview Fantasy Football League champion, and Parallel Universe Halifax fantasy football league champion as well for twenty twenty five. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. It's true. Chuck Atkinson: It is true. It is true. You can't deny it. Two time champion. Jeremy Spencer: What do they call that in the Marble univ what do they call that in the Marble universe? The the the the the spider verse or something? Chuck Atkinson: I don't know. I call it a good time is what I call it. I don't know, but I call it excellence. Jerry, what would you think? You don't know, that's right. Jeremy Spencer: And a little bit of luck. Chuck Atkinson: That's right. He'll he'll explain it to you after you this year because it's the year of the fleas. Jeremy Spencer: It's the it's the year of the fleas. Chuck Atkinson: but no, let's carry on. yeah, so X Factor number one. listen, I'm honest. I don't see myself being number one that long. That's a pretty shab roster beyond JT and CMC. Brock Purdy's a solid quarterback, I got, but beyond that. Brock Bowers. I got Brock Bowers. I'm not gonna talk to you about my bench. number two, I got the Sea Dogs. I get the Sea Dogs at number two. I think the Bills are gonna be an offensive powerhouse this year. And Josh Allen is gonna be the fantasy MVP for 2026. he's off to a great start already. upset victory, if you want to even want to call it an upset in Houston. great offense versus great defense. Josh just got his first win against Texans in Houston, so we'll see how they turn out. But fantasy wise, C Dogs number two. Jeremy Spencer: Quite a quite a discrepancy. Quite a discrepancy. You you've got them number two in your list and I've got them number nine, so Chuck Atkinson: That's right. So it's all about perspective, right? you know, how you look at players, how you perceive them, what you think they're gonna forecast and project to do. I'm a back to back champion. And he's the Jeremy Spencer: I did a lot of projecting. Chuck Atkinson: he's not. So you can choose who you want to listen to in their rankings at the end of the day. number three. Jeremy Spencer: Well, mine are very scientific. Chuck Atkinson: Number three. We're pretty close on this one. I got the Crips. You had him at what, four, Jair? I really like what Tyler Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: I got the Crips at at number four. Yeah, you've got at three. Chuck Atkinson: I I I like what Tyler did this year. keeping Bijan. Jeremy Spencer: I mean he does have Bijan. Chuck Atkinson: Listen, either I I I talked to him, I coached him on this one. I explained him the how to's and the whys of the importance of keeping him at ninety-five. Jeremy Spencer: Well we'll have to bring him on too as well, just to see how much coaching Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. Jeremy Spencer: was actually done, you know. Chuck Atkinson: he he j he he knows there is much coaching done for this as there was me coaching him during the fantasy football league draft. If the baseball league draft, if you remember that one in the basement, Jared. So Jeremy Spencer: Mm-mm. Chuck Atkinson: yeah, so I get him at three. He I like his running back situation. He's got great receivers. good team. number four, I got the Finns. Jeff Hanson, newest member to our league. welcome. You backed into a Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. I had him number five. Chuck Atkinson: you backed into a great team. Well, you drafted well as well. Not hard not hard to when you have no money essentially and you have all stars set up for ya. You go out and get Jamar Chase. Who else did he have there on his team, Jared? Saquon Barkley. He picked up Saquon Barkley as well. He's gonna have a great bounce back here, I think, for the Eagles. Right. So he's loaded from top to bottom. The only thing that's Jeremy Spencer: he's got Jamar Chase, Saquon Barkley, Javante Williams, Jackson Smith and Jigba. You know, big time receiver. He does have Josh Jacobs, which is problematic as we all know. But I have him in Chuck Atkinson: Well, yeah, that's that's that's that may come back to bite we'll see if Josh Jeremy Spencer: the Halifax League. So I know the I know the thing. Chuck Atkinson: Well let's let's let's see if the NFL gives him the Ray Race treatment. And Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: we may have seen the last of Josh Jacobs depending on how these videos turned Jeremy Spencer: And if Chuck Atkinson: out. Jeremy Spencer: he yeah, he we probably should. So we'll see what happens. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. We'll we'll wait and see on that situation because there is a video out there apparently on Josh and what happened and if the NFL wants to see it and acknowledge it, it's their decision to do so. But next up on the list we have what the DAC attack at five. This guy is strong every year. he lost his quarterback Dak in the off season, but he still has Gibbs, Saint Brown. Who else does he have? Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. he's got Gibbs, St. Brown, two elite lions. Chuck Atkinson: I know he picked up a few guys there. picked up Amaria Hampton. yeah, so I like his his run game. Like I said, he's a solid he's a solid team. He's in the Jeremy Spencer: Kyle Pitts, Luther Burton the Third, who was a favorite of mine. Chuck Atkinson: playoffs every year. So we'll see how he does. But year over year he's pretty pretty good. Number six, we're viewing Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: this different. six I got the Oilers. you have them at ten, I believe. I actually like a little bit what what Wayne did this year. Spent wisely. I think he actually left with a few extra dollars in his pocket there, but no, I like his team. Looked pretty good going into the draft. I feel better about his team after the draft, quite frankly. he's got Mike Evans on his bench, which is a strong bench player to have. next at seven, I got the Ronald Rangers. Luke's up and down. Luke's up and down. I don't know if this is his up year or his down year. So I'm gonna. Jeremy Spencer: We Yeah, we both have him at seven. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, I guess slot him at seven. I mean, he's got good receivers. If Jefferson can get a consistent quarterback, you know, while throwing his way, it may just end up being Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz could be the best quarterback that really he needed the whole time. And number eight, I rolled with the upper deckers. Joe Strait wasn't the he wasn't the draft this year. Joe Shitty. that may be the downfall. You left it in Murph's hands. He he he he left it in somebody else's hands. I know they're copilot I know they're copi I know they're Jeremy Spencer: Jay's pretty capable. Chuck Atkinson: copilots, but you know, it's like me he missed half a brain at the draft. I don't know. So I I Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, well they're normally working on two it does sometimes normally take two of them to put one brain together. Chuck Atkinson: It does. Yeah, it does. You see sometimes you will you see these guys show up the draft, folks. the night before was still happening. And Yeah, absolutely. Jeremy Spencer: All of us used to roll in looking like that. Chuck Atkinson: Well that's why we that's why we do the draft at eleven. So we can somewhat, you know, get our bearings. I mean, but I only had like forty-seven dollars this year, so I didn't have any bearings to go in with anyways. So I got you at number nine though, Jar. the fleas at nine. Like I said, Jared lives in a different Yeah, he he l he Jerry lives in a different Jeremy Spencer: Please at nine. Please. Anybody with half a brain knows I'm not gonna finish nine. Chuck Atkinson: He lives in a different multiverse, folks. Jared, what how'd you make up in the playoffs last year? Jeremy Spencer: Playoffs. Chuck Atkinson: That's what I mean, folks. At number ten. So we're just gonna gloss over nine like you know it didn't happen. Jeremy Spencer: I Chuck Atkinson: I like what he I listen, I like some of the the some of the parts of the team. We're gonna see if they can make the team a whole. We need them to make a hole. Jeremy Spencer: Come on. You gotta give credit where credit's due. This is a good team I've got. Jalen Hurts. Kenneth Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Jeremy Spencer: Walker the third. Anybody with the third after their name is good. You got CeeDee Lamb. DJ Moore. Chuck Atkinson: Well, well, we know Rocky Th Rocky 3 wasn't that great. Back to the Future 3 wasn't that great. you know, it just threes aren't that good. But, you know, I listen. Jeremy Spencer: All right. Who's your number ten? Chuck Atkinson: Number 10, we'll get off the fleas era. You know, we'll give them some medication for that, folks. the pythons, the pythons at 10. Brian. What can I say? You always walk out of the draft with like fifty bucks left to spend. Jeremy Spencer: We had both at ten. There's a two we agree on right there. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, he always leaves with fifty dollars left in his pocket not to spend can't keep it. He can't spend it in real life, Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: but he just chooses not to use it wisely. for so how much? Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, he had thirty four dollars left this year. Thirty four. Chuck Atkinson: Thirty-four dollars. You're leaving you're gonna tell Jeremy Spencer: Yeah, it's pretty good. He's getting closer. Chuck Atkinson: me you're gonna leave thirty-four fantasy dollars on the table. And you're not gonna go out and chase Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: somebody down. Well, for that reason alone, I'm gonna put you number ten. number eleven. I got Bobby at number eleven, the bandits. yeah, like we were saying earlier with Bob, he's he's working on the 10-year plan. he's gonna change some tires and change them again and see if they work, and if they don't, claim success in 20 years and say how he won a championship 10 years ago. So good luck, Bob. Good good luck. you know, that's Chuck Math right there. That's Chuck math. Jeremy Spencer: That's confusing all that right there. Chuck Atkinson: Fi if you guys can figure that one out, email me your answer and I'll send you a Tim Hortons gift card that expired four years ago. it is, it is. You know what? One day Jeremy Spencer: It's one of the best prizes we've ever given away. Chuck Atkinson: we're gonna have mugs. And number twelve, to finish this off when they give it to the picks. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: yeah, a third of your roster money, I think, went to quarterbacks, and you can only start one of them every week. enough said. Sorry. Number twelve, the picks. great guy, great guy, Jeremy Spencer: He's got the picks. So there's Chuck Atkinson: but he he he doesn't have the picks. He doesn't have the picks. So that's the the Jeremy Spencer: Not this year. He's won though. And yeah. Chuck Atkinson: Well, we I think there's every name on that trophy, Jerry. Every name is on that trophy. Jeremy Spencer: well no. Chuck Atkinson: What correct crack now correct me if I'm wrong. Am I wrong? Is there is there not every name on that trophy? Jeremy Spencer: You've got it behind ya, you can tell me. Chuck Atkinson: Well, yeah, no, no. But like you're the commish. You have like the you have like the grand information. You have all the info. Is there anybody I'm missing off that trophy? Jeremy Spencer: Well I can tell you right now, you wanna go down the you you wanna go down that road? You wanna see who's who's who's won that trophy? Chuck Atkinson: So what I think he's getting at too, folks, or alluding to is that he's not on there as of yet, but this is the year of the fleas. And we we do wish him all Jeremy Spencer: It is the Chuck Atkinson: the best in his future endeavors. And there's always next year. Jeremy Spencer: This is the year of the fleas. So I'm I should be on there this time next year Chuck Atkinson: You know what? Jeremy Spencer: when we're chatting when we're chatting about this. Chuck Atkinson: I think we should get the bare naked bare naked ladies to write a song about your drought. Jeremy Spencer: So the Hall of Fame right there. What why do the BT band why the bandits Chuck Atkinson: There's the Hall of our our our our fantasy football hall of fame. Jeremy Spencer: show why do the bandits show up on the first page of the Hall of Fame? Two time championship. Chuck Atkinson: Well, it's be yeah, that's that's early success. Early success. Jeremy Spencer: Eva, why is it what's that what's making it be like there? Like the infection had four. Chuck Atkinson: Well, they have two championships. You need you need to have championships to show up on there. What's that? That's right. Jeremy Spencer: The X Factor have three. The Dak Attack have three championships in their sh shorter history. Chuck Atkinson: How long have they been in the league? How long have they been in the league there, Jared? Doc. Jeremy Spencer: I don't know. I think there's one that's been won prior to him actually owning the team. yeah. huh. Apparently it was the Irving Oilers. The team Chuck Atkinson: You're dead, okay. Jeremy Spencer: The team that owned like the DAC attack was the Irving Oilers before he retired for a couple years. Chuck Atkinson: That's right. Jeremy Spencer: So that's got a team showing the championship, see? I don't know. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah, so that's our Jeremy Spencer: But if you go to the Chuck Atkinson: our history page there. Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. So Chuck Atkinson: Show us the the o can you can you find us the overall leaderboard for history and wins and losses? Who who's got the you know, there must be a win-loss page, right? Jeremy Spencer: I sure can. You wanna see that? Chuck Atkinson: Absolutely. I think our fans would be interested to see who's our all time leaderboard. Jeremy Spencer: All right, let's see here. You the year by year. let's see how look at total. Okay, let's sort it by winds. So oddly enough Chuck Atkinson: Mm-hmm. Jeremy Spencer: The the VT Bandits own the league's overall best record at 387, 303, and five. I know. Scratch, clear your glasses off. Have a look at that. Then up next after that, we've got the upper deckers at 362, 331, and four with a five twenty-two winning percentage. The DAC attack with a five twenty-four winning percentage of three sixty one, three twenty eight and six. X factor fifth fourth best winning percentage and record three fifty four three thirty seven and four. the Crips, three forty three, three thirty-eight and three. Keep in mind that these teams were owned by people previous to that, like this team was owned by Chuck Atkinson: Well other managers, yeah, throughout the years. So yeah, exactly. Jeremy Spencer: most recently Tyler, but before that it was Sylvan, before that Casey, and before that Fred Durette. Chuck Atkinson: Yeah. So where are you on the list there, Jerry? Jeremy Spencer: myself on the list, I'm ranked tenth. No ninth. Three fifteen, three sixty-three, and sixth with no championships. Chuck Atkinson: What's that winning percentage? Jeremy Spencer: That's that's a four sixty five winning percentage, Chuck. Chuck Atkinson: You've heard it here, folks, live on Play Under Review, Under 500, with the number one preseason power ranking spot, the Flea Bastards. Jeremy Spencer: well this is this is history. We're not this year's we're talking about this year. With the like what you're looking at on the screen there, that's history. It's different. Chuck Atkinson: It's always about this year, folks. When we talk about history, folks. History don't exist unless it works in your favor. Yesterday, yesterday never happened. We lost yesterday. What are we talking about? This Jeremy Spencer: Well Chuck Atkinson: is what it's like living in the world of the Montreal Jeremy Spencer: Because Chuck Atkinson: abs and Montreal Canadians and the Toronto Mapleys. Where wins Jeremy Spencer: It's pr it's pr Chuck Atkinson: it where losses don't exist. Yesterday never happened. And the final score is only what you make it out to be. Jeremy Spencer: Well, that's only fantasy football. Chuck Atkinson: I thought that was hockey we're talking about too, no Jeremy Spencer: No, no. The Habs have enough history we don't have to make it up. Chuck Atkinson: shoot. So yeah, so Jeremy Spencer: Yeah. Chuck Atkinson: what else is going on there anyways? you know, since we just finished wrapping up, touching base on our football talk, you know Jeremy Spencer: Well, we haven't touched base on on on one of the subjects I wanna touch base on is is the hab picking up Chris Kreider. Chuck Atkinson: Well, with that being said, why don't you guys tune in to our next episode so we can touch b based on that just a little more? running a little bit long here today, you know, we didn't expect to go this long, this deep into our football, but as is always when you talk football, you can talk for hours. so what do you think, dear? do we do a cut there and get our folks back tomorrow with some habs talk some rebbing talk?
