Marathon Man Returns: Caleb's Back, the Eagles' Blood Clot Scandal, and Bo Nix's Five-Letter Name Is Longer Than His Average Throw

2026-10-2401:28:49

Send us Fan Mail The man of the hour is back: Jason finished the Des Moines Marathon in just over 4 hours and 14 minutes. He brings back a full war report: Miah's seven-stop cheer squad, Lucy's crowd-favorite "Don't Trust a Fart" sign, two pee breaks, the brutal Grand Avenue hills, a blister that burst into a bloody shoe, KT tape doing nipple duty, and an open beer handed to him at the finish line. Then it's football. Caleb Williams is back and sharp, so the Bears win and Jason sweeps all thr...

Frankie Fleeced a Packers Fan for James Cook, Mike Evans Asked Trevon Diggs 'Who Are You?', and Jason Is Running a Marathon for Some Reason

2026-10-1601:26:44

Send us Fan Mail It starts with the trade that blew up the group chat: Frankie, bored in a hospital waiting room, offers Emanuel Wilson and Christian Watson to George (a lifelong Packers fan) for James Cook, fully expecting a counter, and George just hits accept. Watson promptly drops 36 points for his new team, Claude's power rankings initially insist Wilson plays for Green Bay, and Bills coach Joe Brady threatens to bench Cook over a fumble the same week. From there it's a Week 5 tour: the ...

Fantasy Football Is Stupid, the Bears Out-Gained the Jets 492 to 157, and Our AI Assistants Keep Going Rogue

2026-10-1001:14:19

Send us Fan Mail Another brutal fantasy weekend, and the hosts are tired of it. Injuries have wrecked everyone's running back room, Omarian Hampton hase been the biggest "I was dead wrong" pick of the year, and Jason's dad is still beating him in fantasy like clockwork. There's a Sleeper league mystery where someone somehow dropped a player who had already played (and got hurt) to add Tyreek Hill with no waiver wait, a Jeff meltdown over a Tet McMillan monster game, and a trade offer that tur...

Cowboys Blow Another Winnable One in Brazil, Caleb Williams' Scare Breaks the Internet, and RG3 Outs a BYU QB's Naked Family Dinners

2026-10-0201:30:52

Send us Fan Mail Back in the basement after a week off — decal re-hung, ServPro drama resolved, and Jason fresh off a walleye trip to Lake of the Woods featuring a guide named Joe who may be the crankiest man in Minnesota (sample exchange, courtesy of the trip organizer: "Hey Joe, you always been an asshole?"). From there it's a deep fantasy injury binge: Justin Jefferson knocked out early, Achane done for the year, Breece Hall banged up, and a long debate over handcuff value (Ollie Gordon vs...

The Studio Flooded, The Bears Drop 59 Points, and The Cowboys Only Had The Ball Twice

2026-09-1901:14:59

Send us Fan Mail Sorry for the delay, Softies — Jason's basement studio took on water in a brutal overnight storm, turning into soggy carpet and a ServPro crew that showed up, ripped everything out, and casually destroyed a mic stand and a USB outlet along the way. So this one's recorded from the living room while the real studio dries out. Once the audio situation gets sorted, it's straight into a stacked Week 1 recap: fantasy draft fallout across three leagues, a wild DraftKings same-game p...
