Razzcast 19: The Return of Tehol and Production Value

Coincidence that with the return of Tehol we also return to the worst production value ever? I think not. Matthew Bowe (pronounced Bowie, which was a riveting podcast revelation and assault to phonetics) joined the Lord Beddict and myself in going over Championship weekend… sorta-kinda. Sorta-kinda: the official Razzball ethos. Some other stuff was discussed, but none of it was important, just how we like it. The OA was touched upon briefly (no spoilers, just general show discussion), I finally gave the full recommendation to go see La La Land after forgetting to do so the last few episodes, and we actually watched the new Blade Runner 2049 trailer (which you can watch after the jump), because that’s what you do when you have a podcast. YOU. WATCH. THINGS. While this is probably the worst Razzcast ever, it also might be the best. We’ll let you decide!

Razzcast 18: The Los Angeles Chargers of San Diego

January 13, 2017 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 Podcast, Fantasy Football Podcast | 20 Comments

by: Jay

As we officially enter into the malaise portion of the fantasy offseason, which usually lasts around 20 years until around the NFL Draft, what better way to kick things off than to address the Chargers moving roughly 80 miles up north to the sometimes-great city of Los Angeles? My thoughts as a Chargers fan my stun you, but only because I’m one of the twelve left rooting for them. With Matt and Alex, we talk last week’s Wild Card week and the upcoming games in the Divisional Playoffs, and we do it all while Matt builds another hazmat suit. This time 100% more effective… at making background noise. Enjoy our newest episode, with a bonus behind-the-scenes ending that settles once and for all why Matt needs to stop building hazmat suits…

Also, we make a special mention of this year’s 2016 RCL Champion, and to be quite honest, we can’t figure out how they did it. So congrats, we’ll have a post out soon announcing the team and other winners along with their prizes!

Razzcast 17: Wild Card, B*tches!

January 6, 2017 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 Podcast, Fantasy Football Podcast | 10 Comments

by: Jay

It’s Wild Card week, and with that comes our breakdown of said week in terms of football. Probably because there is no fantasy football, or at least their shouldn’t be. And if there is… why? What are we doing with our lives? Loosely labeled a “non-political” episode, we hold true this time, as Zach, Matt, and returning guest Alex (to fill in for Jen) banter about the weekend’s upcoming games, betting lines, and that’s. About. It. A football only episode? I… I just don’t even know anymore… Enjoy!

Razzcast 16: Patriots Day

December 30, 2016 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 Podcast, Fantasy Football Podcast | 4 Comments

by: Jay

No, I’m not talking about the Marky Mark Patriotic porno that’s out in theatres right now, just in case you needed to watch a fantasy tailored specifically for Michael Bay (just without all the boobs), moreso the fact that Matt and I always find ourselves surrounded by Zach and Jen, the pro-Patriots of Razzland. And I mention that since we all went over our playoff picks, the scenarios, the “master plan”, and they all seem to involve Tom Brady, and thusly, they all involve Uggs. We also talk about Doug Martin’s Adderall problem, Cowboy boots (actual boots, not the Dallas Cowboys), and this time, Matt brings up politics, so I just happened to provide a few more thoughts on what we’re about to get via leadership in this New Year, and it was all guilt-free! (Please send all complaints, care of Matt Bowe.) Westworld came up for a bit (spoilers!), and there was some talk of Tyrod Taylor and the futility of Week 17 Championship weeks hidden in there. We also had the best goodbye ever, in that it was a functioning one. Baby steps folks…

Championship Weekend Live Thread

December 24, 2016 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 Game Day Live Thread | 191 Comments

by: Jay

I’d call it the “Happy Holidays Live Thread”, but we’d all just be lying to ourselves. Yes, there’ll be plenty of food, and presents, and in-laws this weekend (as if Thanksgiving with baby boomers wasn’t exciting enough this year!), but let’s be clear… it’s not happy unless those of you still playing Fantasy Football bring home that Championship whatever. Could be a trophy. A certificate. A baked ham, who knows? Now, the real question is, did I bring up the ham because it actually exists as a prize for a league out there, or because I’m just hungry for ham? Why not both! Regardless, enjoy this year’s Festivus, I’m sure there are a lot of grievances to be aired, but let’s make sure none of them are about your Fantasy Football team by the end of the weekend. Good luck, and be jolly! (I’m not entirely sure why I went with jolly there…)

There is No Real Ending…

December 19, 2016 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 News & Notes | 108 Comments

by: Jay

It’s just the place where you stop the story…

Unless you’re Gus Bradley that is. With Jacksonville’s long nightmare coming to an end (with a potentially new nightmare on the horizon, because, well, it’s Jacksonville, and Jeff Fisher is still out there), it seems proper to announce that this is our official end to the 2016 Razzball Football season, content-wise. As I’m sure all of you know, we run a smaller ship than the other sites in the Razzball Network, but to combat that, we use 100% more nautical terms. I realize that the actual NFL Season hasn’t ended yet, but with two weeks left to go, your Fantasy Season should be coming to a close. (YMMV.) We’ll still release rankings the next two weeks and during the playoffs, and we’ll have a few more podcasts this year, and I’ll still be here answering all of your questions… (I’ll always be here, maaaan), but as the readership dwindles and Christmas approaches, I just wanted to take the time to again thank my contributors and you, the Razzball community for making this season another great one.

There’s not much to say besides the fact that all of us who are still around are in a must-win state. We’ve had a great year trying to help you make those oh so important roster decisions (at least according to the metrics out there), so I hope to continue the trend as your fantasy football championship gets closer and closer.

I Scream, You Stream Week 15: Farrow the Leader

December 17, 2016 | 2016 Fantasy Football, 2016 Roster Strategy | 14 Comments

by: MB

Welcome back to the Razzball streamer article. For most of you still reading this article, you’ve made it to the semi-finals, congratulations. If you didn’t make the semi-finals and you are reading this, you are probably my editor (Sup, Jay). A key running back injury and a lingering wide receiver injury has led to me recommending more than just defenses this week. So let’s get down to business with our second to last I Scream, You Stream of the 2016 season.
