The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz XX
[0] You're listening to Draft King's Network.
[1] In the NFL, there is no margin for error.
[2] One mistake can change the outcome of the game.
[3] Science proves quality sleep can help boost reaction time, recovery time, and overall athletic performance.
[4] As the official sleep wellness partner of the NFL, sleep numbers mission is to provide players with data and insights to optimize their sleep for the ultimate competitive edge.

[11] I like to imagine that the NFL starting quarterbacks have a group chat and that every year Patrick Mahomes brings the new people in, gets rid of the people that aren't starting anymore, and that throughout the year they just have a group chat where they just show each other fun memes, talk shit to, like, who's the guy that gets like really just like made fun of a lot?
[12] Who's the starting quarterback that just hates the group chat?
[13] because he always gets made fun of.
[14] Got to be Kirk Cousins, no?
[15] Yeah.
[16] Kirk seems like a guy that doesn't even, like, participate.
[17] He's kind of like, what do you call a mic in the group chat when people aren't, like, saying anything?
[18] Floaters?
[19] No, there's...
[20] That's how they referred to them and...
[21] Yeah.
[22] So, like, sightseers or something.
[23] You said there's...
[24] Tourists or something.
[25] People that are just, like, visiting, but they don't actually contribute to the group chat.
[26] Does everyone get then, like, a notification that says, like, Ryan Tannahill has been removed from the chat?
[27] Like, what happens?
[28] I think it's kind of just like Mahomes being like no hard feelings and then like you see tannahill has been removed so it's like the last thing tana hill sees is no hard feelings and then all of a sudden he's out of there and he's just like but you kind of get it if you're tanahill you're like this is the starting quarterback group chat so what happens like in pittsberg like before they named the starting quarterback where they're both in or like were we waiting what happened there i think they were both kind of in we all knew russell wilson was going to start week one well were they in limbo chris in this situation it's a little tricky because justin fields was in the starting quarterback chat the here and then he gets to Pittsburgh and the group chat certainly doesn't want to make the call on who they feel as a starter but now someone kicks him out I think that he was kicked out when Chicago traded him that's when he got kicked out of the group chat I mean but he was still battling for it and then Caleb Williams was added that night when he was drafted I like to think that Kaepernick is still in this group chat because like everyone kind of sees well I'm not going to be the person that does this the NFL did plenty what if you get a spot start do you get added for the week?
[29] See?
[30] Yeah, I don't know.
[31] I don't know the answer to your question.
[32] Like Drake May, what's he doing?
[33] Jacoby Berset.
[34] There's a lot of interesting ones.
[35] The answer can be whatever you want, Chris.
[36] I know.
[37] I would rather be in the backup quarterback chat because I think that that one's a lot more freewheeling.
[38] The backup, that's where all the shit talking goes down.
[39] Yeah, that's where, you know, you have holdovers like try and kick Charlie Writers out of this.
[40] I dare you.
[41] Guys, a mensch.
[42] That's how I was kind of thinking, like, Russell Wilson seems like an eager person and that would be a good group chat person.
[43] So I'm thinking he might just be He's in it still, and it was never removed when he got, because he's such a, he brings value to the group chat, so they were like, man, even though he got traded, he might not be the starter.
[44] Daily affirmations get annoying.
[45] In the backup group chat, when someone gets promoted to QB1, they get, like, taken out of it, like, the little toys and toy story, getting clod out of the machine.
[46] Goodbye.
[47] So is every backup in the backup group chat, or there's like a QB2 one and a QB3 one and then like a practice squad one?
[48] I think we're just talking QB2s here.
[49] Really?
[50] There would never be a QB3 chat.
[51] I mean, that's just absurd.
[52] I just put all the backups in, like, one, you know?
[53] Right.
[54] To me, they can all be.
[55] Even, like, the practice squatters.
[56] Right.
[57] So, like, Mike White is fine.
[58] He's still in the chat.
[59] This is fun, though.
[60] I just like it.
[61] I just like the idea of...
[62] Good game.
[63] Of Mahomes being the leader of it.
[64] And it's just, like, every year I've got to go through.
[65] Who are the starters?
[66] Got to remove this guy.
[67] Aidan O 'Connell, you're fine.
[68] I'm going to leave you in here one more year, but you're probably out of here.
[69] Well, no, he's not.
[70] No, he's not, though.
[71] Minchoo.
[72] Which group chat is Minchew in?
[73] Minchew's the starter?
[74] I thought it was Aden O 'Connell.
[75] Sorry, you're out of here.
[76] You already draft your fantasy team?
[77] I did.
[78] I actually drafted last night.
[79] I have way too many fantasy teams.
[80] So the last one I was like, I've done this way too much.
[81] I'm over this.
[82] How do I make this fun?
[83] I drafted what I'm calling the all ghost team.
[84] It's like all guys that are past their prime.
[85] I have DeAndre Hopkins.
[86] I have Zeke Elliott.
[87] I have.
[88] Are you trying to lose?
[89] No, I'm telling you I'm going to make the playoffs.
[90] I'm telling you this is a fighting team.
[91] This team's got some fighting it.
[92] I'm in a college football fantasy team this year.
[93] and I just drafted all players on teams that I don't like because then if they have really, really good games, I'm like, oh.
[94] Emotional hedge.
[95] My team name is the Sixth Sense.
[96] And I actually screwed up in autopick the first pick.
[97] So I have Jamar Chase.
[98] And after that, everyone is really old.
[99] I have Devin Singletary.
[100] Well, you got to trade him.
[101] I have Mike Evans, Travis Kelsey, Stefan Diggs, Aaron Rogers, Azek Elliott, Allen, Brandon Cooks, DeAndre Hopkins, and Adam Thielen.
[102] Trade Chase.
[103] just like trade them for someone really old straight up I know it does feel dishonest what I'm doing because I have an all old team with Jamar Chase Speaking of QB2s Didn't talk about once today How Michigan's QB's last name is Orgy
