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...

Bo was checking FantasyLabs late one night When his eyes beheld an eerie sight It wasn’t 2V gulping down fries Instead he got a big surprise He lost to Magsh He lost 50/50 to Magsh That bastard Magsh Part of the FFP menage Four wins for Magsh It’s a fact we can’t dodge All hail to Magsh He’s the king of the lodge Yes, your beloved Fantasy Football Party-goers cashed in their trick-or-treating candy early enough to make it to JL Beers in Burnsville to record the Week 9 podcast.

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...

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.
