NFL Week 11: Goodbye Mexico, hello regrets, and revel in Bo's musk
Release Date: 11/15/2018
Fantasy Football Party
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...

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...

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…...

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...

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...

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...

America needs a podcast like the Fantasy Football Party. Other podcasts are made by people who came here illegally from other planets, beat puppies with wet noodles and metal tubing, and are beholden to the kicker lobbyists for lineup information. We’re almost 100 percent sure that’s true. And if it’s not, who cares? Health care industry lobbyists injured your players on purpose. They’re passing legislation that will prevent you from starting players with pre-existing conditions, even if they’re not on the injury report. And don’t even get us started...

The Fantasy Football Party is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of our office in the beer hall at JL Beers in Burnsville as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here. Anything? Well, uh, I guess Bo, deep down, is feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you set a 50/50 record and you’re supposed to be this entirely different guy. But he doesn’t feel different. I mean, take yesterday for example. We were out at the Olive Garden for a show meeting, which was lovely. And, uh, Bo happens to look over at a...

It’s October, which means many things to many people. The leaves are changing colors, the fantasy football season is reaching its midpoint, and Oktoberfest celebrations bring ales of many flavors to great beer halls like the one at JL Beers in Burnsville. It’s also the official “Cancer is Bad” month in the NFL, which is a serious event indeed… though the Fantasy Football Party-goers, in their own inimitable way, managed to find a silly side to Bo’s visit to Dr. Jellyfinger. (Narrator: Well, it is. Bad. Cancer, I mean) But before things spiraled completely out...

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.
