‘‘Twas the Night Before Drafting

‘‘Twas the night before RedZone’s yearly team draft

We all sit and wonder, who will catch the shaft

Will it be Patrick or will it be Jim

Or will it be Moji, we hope that it’s him

With our lovely league under new supervision 

We all hope we stay out of spittahs division 

Who’s that unlucky? We will have to see

But our third Commish, who could it be?

Maybe it’s Ram, Maybe Adel

Or maybe a pickle, that would be swell!

Now on this this Friday when you sleep at night

And visions of teams that fit you just right 

As Jamar hits the griddy in your field of dreams

Perk up my friends, it’s time to pick teams.

Written Answers 

1. I think the league community is amazing and incredibly supportive of one another. I think the quick time demands or a bit much for a healthy balance of work, family and the league.
2. Andy's penis looks an unshelled peanut that has 3 peanuts inside.
3. Sometimes I'm glad my husband has an Xbox so I can have my time also.
4. He is pretty good about planning games around events but sometimes feel pressed for time when a game is scheduled. I also hate how fast the weeks advance and the short time of the off-season. Also, time differences suck because the draft will often be scheduled during dinner time or bed time. It isn’t all bad because it’s a friend group and a hobby that he loves.
5. Things are often scheduled around games that are played during the week and sometimes it’s annoying af
6. The scheduling crap sucks 
7. You guys are weird
8. I will say, he goes through phases. There will be times he won't play for weeks and then times he's completely consumed by it. All in all, if there were a better balance I feel life would be much easier. It sometimes takes a real toll on me you know! Anyway, I wouldn't be upset if all Xbox consoles just magically disappeared...
9. don’t even get me started about the damn Xbox. We literally had an argument about it 2 days ago. This man needs to help around the house more instead of sitting his lazy ass on the couch playing. But it’s his “hobby” I guess
10. Xbox is NOT real life. When life gets scheduled around the Xbox, there's a problem.
11. MADDEN SEASON IS A LIFE RUINER

Takeaways 

1. RZ wives are not a fan of the advance timing and scheduling.
2. Concerning open ended #4, which one of you has a bedtime?
3. Someone missed 6-10 social events for RZ games. That’s dedication baby. Just hope it wasn’t a funeral. 
4. #10 and 11 are telling us how they really feel.

Now RedZone, what’s YOUR takeaways? Has there been any self reflection throughout this process? I hope you all had a little fun with your spouse doing this. I sure had fun making it!

Stick Skills Survey Data

Welcome everyone to the breakdown of data from the survey I posted. Let’s keep in mind this is “are they better than you on the sticks?" So take anything other than stick skill away from this. Team overall, internet connection (cough cough), anything else! This is just like you guys sitting right next to each other on the same console, with the same team, and seeing who’s gonna win. Let’s start with total votes and then break down to what percent of voters think they’re better than you!

Total Voters: 19 (percentages rounded to nearest decimal)

Adam- 16 (84%)

Spittah- 11 (58%)

Andy- 18 (95%) (actually 100% because I didn’t vote myself)

Eikim- 19 (100%)

Spence- 18 (95%)

Silk- 19 (100%)

Moji- 4 (21%)

Monty- 12 (63%)

KFox- 18 (95%)

KJ- 14 (74%)

Robo- 18 (95%)

Trent- 10 (53%)

Theo- 19 (100%)

BP- 19 (100%)

BM- 11 (58%)

Roc- 10 (53%)

Longville- 18 (95%)

JP- 16 (84%)

Pat- 17 (89%)

Adel- 5 (26%)

Astin- 3 (16%)

Tiko- 18 (95%)

WG- 19 (100%)

Ram- 8 (42%)

Jake- 9 (47%)

Mayne- 16 (84%)

PieGuy- 6 (32%)

TOFN- 18 (95%)

Glenn- 19 (100%)

Tauph- 19 (100%)

Beech- 19 (100%)

Kelly- 6 (32%)

RZ GOAT???

According to voters, Astin has the least amount of users that think they are better than him or can go toe to toe with him on the sticks with a poll low of 3 votes. The top 3 are rounded out by Astin (3), Moji (4), and Adel (5). I personally think these are pretty accurate statistics from voters here. 

Bottom of the Barrell

These users had 100% of voters think that they are better/equal too their stick skills. Andy, Eikim, Silk, Theo, BP, White Greg, Glenn, Tauph, and Beech. Assuming they voted and didn’t vote their own names, Spence, KFox, Robo, Longville, Tiko, and TOFN also join this list. 

Any Surprises??

1. I wouldn’t say a big surprise BUT I think there’s a lot of respect for PieGuy’s stick skills being very new and splitting 4th with Kelly at only 6 votes. 
2. Using recency bias, KJ being over JP is a big shock and possibly even being over Adam.
3. Defending champion Trent had just over 50% of voters say they are in his skill range if not ahead, and also had more votes than who he beat to win the bowl. 
4. “Realist” Jake was one of seven to have a single digit in votes and less than 50% of 19 voters. 
5. I think it’s well deserved but Roc returns and ties for 8th in the poll.

Now let’s hear the reactions! The name dropping! We want all of it! Hey, maybe if someone gives their list out in chat I just may give my own...start a chain reaction!

BarStool Breakdown- Andy

What’s up everyone! We are mere hours away from the highly anticipated Super Bowl of Trent and the RedZone vs Pie Guy. Here’s 3 things for each team I think can help them bring the Lombardi home. 

Saints 

Stay composed through the punches. 

The Ravens are going to score. The main thing is not letting them score more because of offensive frustration which leads to bad decisions. You have to be able to live with a punt or two and not get too greedy too early. Don’t put your back on the wall when it’s not even the 4th quarter 

Let AK go cray-cray

Tomato me all you want it’s catchy. Kamara has been the backbone to this team whether it’s passing or rushing. Trent has done a great job building the offense around him. Don’t let one or two bottled up runs shy you away from the guy who got you this far. 

Stay prepared as the second man defensively

We know the PieGuy way. It’s super important for Trent to stay aware if he’s the second man coming to tackle. I think if he can help it, that’s his best bet. Let PieGuy take whatever angle around the CPU and then attack it. Trent taking himself out as a left sticked first tackler may spell trouble with the speed PieGuy moves. I’d be more worried about his second cut than his first one at all times 

Ravens

You thought I was giving you free scout on Trent? Tuh. 

Don’t go for the kill shot too early.

This Saints team has put up points this playoff season. It’s not an offense you can let capitalize on being greedy. Control the game with clock because too much clock for this Saints team could spell trouble 

Don’t be too aggressive on defense

This Saints team has arguably the most valuable running back in the league in terms of team success that can also beat you in the passing game. Him surrounded by Boyd, Aiyuk, and Olave can tear you up if you blitz too often because Deshaun is very capable of timing routes and getting the ball out fast. 

Play loose 

There have been many complaints about gameplay, not saying their unwarranted but there have been. You may not find yourself in this game too many times so the last thing you want to do is let outside noise stop you from a daddyleagues banner even if astin puts a big ol asterisk on it.

BarStool Soap Box- Andy

I’m running out of creative names leave me alone. Let me preface this with a few words before we get to the meat of the pig. First off, we take donations. Had to buy a new soap box because the one Moji was on was a little too big for me. Secondly, I don’t think I’ve been here long enough to have a very large say or opinions on what this league does/doesn’t do because in the grand scheme of things I’ve been here for a small amount of time. One day I hope to be able to help contribute and better the league in more ways than just media. With that said I’m going to give my opinions on what I think the changes will be and some things circulating through chat. Feel free to let me know yours as well! 

Hot Routes

I’ve racked my brain thinking what this could be. We already have a rule for this but as Kelly and Jake said before in chat during Tiko v Andy, people have a different perception on when it is okay to hot route or when it isn’t. (Ex. Hot routing every time you see press or something of that nature.) While Jake did say that wasn’t okay I think they’ve made a new rule open to no interpretation. A part of me says no way they’re banning hot routing in general and another part says Moji has a heavy hammer. While this is being talked about to be a huge change, which I’m sure it will be, it will most likely only affect a handful of people drastically. This is one I’m not sure the answer or even have a suggestion but I know the pickles have it under control. 

Left Sticking

This is another one that’s probably been 60% of chat since Moji found the one pie he didn’t like last night. One answer is back to none at all. One could be the ball carrier can only move northwest northeast when left sticking and at no point should shoulder pads be parallel to the goal line after the initial direction is taken with the ball. I think that one would be a happy medium but policing it may be tougher and leaves room for a lot of chat arguments. 

Concept Cap

I don’t believe this is being discussed in the pickle chat and I don’t think it should be but there was a main chat conversation about it. Even before the Monty debacle I remember Jake already answering the “specific play call or play concept” question numerous times. As everyone knows I was/still somewhat am a coach suggestion guy but as you go through your playbook you see a ton of different plays for situations where it’s not warranted to need the same concept over and over. I do think however some plays that are the same but out of a different formation can be used for different things. For instance verticals in shotgun may have a slightly different play-art and we use it for cover 2 where the safety has to choose then a verticals out of single back can have the TE on a small wheel before his break and can be used as a quick cover 3 seam beater. But with a rule their can’t be any exceptions because that leads to bad judgment and confusion.

PieGuy

This isn’t any “rule changes” I just hope he reads this. We all got our sentiments out chaotically in chat today but these are all my thoughts in one place. Keep in mind, I’ve only been in RZ 2 full cycles and the last 2 or 3 seasons for my first one. I feel like I sound like silk when I’m saying this but the new-guy attitude in RedZone feels a little different recently. Maybe it depends on the person as well because I joined at the same time Coffie did and he lasted like 4 games. RedZone is a great community but we all are here for one common interest and that’s playing sim football. When I got here it was also my first sim experience and I would pm people and ask them for honest feedback and take it to heart. I played every game really nervous that I wasn’t doing something right. (It would still kill me to win a LFTP) but we’ve had new guys come in here, be defensive on feedback even to guys who helped build RZ up to what it is. My advice to PieGuy is to listen and implement. Not just listen. You may lose some games over changing things but this isn’t a league that you want to let pass you by. Us being his side league is a whole other topic. The most important thing for me in a game is to have fun. I used to care about winning a lot more but if I lose and still felt the chess match going on between me and my opponent, I don’t get mad. The commissioners will be your biggest asset if you let them. Moji helped me get through a lot of growing pains even before he was a commissioner. But going hard-ass in chat and somewhat devaluing opinions isn’t the way to go when you’re in the process of building your credentials in RedZone. If you are a top 10 pick but have sim gameplay, everyone will respect it more than this super bowl run. 

Who dat! Go Saints.

Would I Buy This Tank

New York Giants

Cons: 

-Would ALLOW 21 enemies to infiltrate a winning effort

-Not that great of protecting up front. 

-Will only function on American soil. 

Pros:

-Can trade a piece of think tank to another for a inflated price. 

-Can yell “Bing Bong” on every red button push. 

-Run’s decently, but can’t pass a maintenance check

6.7/10 would purchase. 

Chicago Bears

Cons:

-Has a new radio, but not a lot of picks for station selection.

-Drives well on pavement, but sucks with Fields

-can mainly only find these battery powered, as they’re normally operated by kids. 

Pros:

-pretty consistent with performance so you know what you’re getting.

-responds quick in surprise public altercations 

-If ever the need to abort, the seatbelt snaps quick. 

5/10 would purchase.

Houston Texans 

Cons:

-Takes a while to get used to the environment but runs well after. 

-was once mistreated by a service member, but has been repaired.

-Is following behind a better model released last year with mostly the same functions.

Pros:

-Appearance is peak, would do well for tik tok fame. 

-Was manufactured in the same factory as last cycles  most valuable tank.

-comes with blueprints and spreadsheets for well planned attacks. 

9/10 would purchase

Seattle Seahawks 

Cons:

-hard to find good insurance, if it breaks, you take all responsibility and not the company.

-hard to get Tua base with an inaccurate GPS. 

-one of the grossest tank jobs last year and the same company made this one.

Pros:

-Comes with a fast, Lockett safe box that’s barely used. 

-Stays away from a DangeRuss situation. 

-will be the most consistent in the tank game.

8.2/10 would purchase.

RZ Fantasy 5

Welcome to the Barstool RZ fantasy 5 again! I probably won’t be able to update every single week but for now, I’m going to say who I would be looking to take in a fantasy draft! 

QBs

1. Patrick Mahomes- Ram with Mahomes is going to be annoying we already know. But for fantasy owners, he’s the tool to annoy all of their friends. This is the best out of the box QB I’ve personally have seen Ram have and based on his successes with the others, this one should be a no brainer. 
2. Tua Tagovailoa- We saw what Spittah did with Tua with just Jaylen Waddle. Add a better user (sorry Spittah), and Tyreek Hill, Adel has the speed around him to make Tua top in yards every week. Not even mentioning Mike Gesicki. 
3. Justin Herbert- Moji likes the sling the ball around and this is the perfect QB to do it with. Accuracy and a cannon for an arm. The receiving core around him with Eckler catching passes out of the backfield, may make Herbert the #1 QB in fantasy this year.

Sleeper QBs

Zach Wilson- Adam showed with Jordan Love, he can get the ball down the field. His #1 concern is going to be developing Wilson as fast as possible and build around him. 

Trevor Lawrence- Have we forgotten what Jake did with Baker so soon? This is a guy Jake can mold himself and not piggy back off of someone else’s attribute upgrades before a trade. Jake’s decision making has improved and so should the value of TLaw this time around. 

RBs

1. Derrick Henry- I mean duh right? Henry was the #1 back last year and will remain there. The Titans have even less of a WR core and an uncertainty at the QB position. If any success comes, it’s on the coattail of King Henry. 
2. Johnothan Taylor- As I looked and saw JT had juke box AND armbar I thought of how much fun this league is going to have playing him. Ryan can’t throw the ball all over the field like he used to so opening up the passing attack with a great ground game is imperative to success for the Colts. 
3. Dalvin Cook- Spence was heading for RZ greatness late when he had Alvin Kamara. Cook is even better. He’s shifty and can do a little bit of everything. Spence likes a slow paced game and Cook will be the benefactor.

Sleeper picks

Antonio Gibson- Glenn was a hot commodity with Aaron Jones last year. I don’t think they’ll take scissors out of the game which means they ain’t taking Glenn out of the game either! Gibson is a good running back who should help him not want to throw with Wentz a lot....hopefully.

Javonte Williams- From what I saw of the gameplay video, Williams is shifty! Williams will be on a great offense and there’s no way Coach Beech tries to dust the knees off of Melvin Gordon when you have a guy like Williams back there!

WR

1. Jalen Waddle- Doubling down on my Dolphins hype here. I think Adel is going to look for Waddle more than Hill when possible. Both are great plays, but we saw last year what Waddle can become
2. Chris Godwin- Spittah loves his speed doesn’t he? It’s not surprise Godwin is on this list being the faster of the 2 WR1s in Tampa Bay. Spittah will want to air it out as much as possible resulting in consistency from Godwin on a weekly basis. 
3. Keenan Allen- Another double down! Allen may not be the fastest but his route running and shiftiness is going to help propel Moji to the top of the AFC where I think he will be. Mike Williams is a great second fiddle but Allen and Eckler will most likely have the most targets for this team. 

Sleepers 

Amari Cooper- King John is going to feed Chubb just as much as Longville did. But, I give KJ the nod on passing the ball. Once he gets Deshaun if not before, Cooper will demand attention and production of the Browns want to stay afloat awaiting the leagues decision on a suspension for Deshaun. 

Michael Thomas- It sickens me I have to put him as a sleeper but seems some have forgotten of one of the best WRs in the league! Thomas will still be the guy even with Olave coming in. Trent should see a wildcard spot very obtainable and MT and his route running will have to play a part in that. 

TEs

1. Travis Kelce- Mahomes lost his other favorite target so this one is just obvious. Kelce is still very good and will be for some time. Ram is gonna look for that star or X on the field and rain down upon opposing linebackers as he should. 
2. Darren Waller- I know they just got Adams but I’m not sure how much I trust Eikim to sit in the pocket long enough for Adams to crack my top WRs. Waller is an absolute unit and with his ability to make big plays, he will require a lot of attention or else defenses are going to feel like I do whenever I go against Waller in IRL fantasy. Ask Spencer about those occasions. 
3. George Kittle- Can’t have an RZ article without some sort of self slurp right? Kittle is my highest overall target and will be treated as such. He’s a red zone threat and I see him getting a lot of touches in big down situations.

Sleepers 

Kyle Pitts- He almost cracked this list and may have with a different user. No TOFN slander but we just haven’t seen enough to put him with these other guys. Adam did insane things with Pitts last year and he’s going to be very very good for the whole cycle. 

Cole Kmet- Ask who Fields is throwing the ball to outside of this. Not much. Yes they have some fast young WRs but Kad isn’t throwing deep. Mooney and Kmet drags will be the death of his opponent.

3. Dalvin Cook- Spence was heading for RZ greatness late when he had Alvin Kamara. Cook is even better. He’s shifty and can do a little bit of everything. Spence likes a slow paced game and Cook will be the benefactor.

Sleeper picks

Antonio Gibson- Glenn was a hot commodity with Aaron Jones last year. I don’t think they’ll take scissors out of the game which means they ain’t taking Glenn out of the game either! Gibson is a good running back who should help him not want to throw with Wentz a lot....hopefully.

Javonte Williams- From what I saw of the gameplay video, Williams is shifty! Williams will be on a great offense and there’s no way Coach Beech tries to dust the knees off of Melvin Gordon when you have a guy like Williams back there!

WR

1. Jalen Waddle- Doubling down on my Dolphins hype here. I think Adel is going to look for Waddle more than Hill when possible. Both are great plays, but we saw last year what Waddle can become
2. Chris Godwin- Spittah loves his speed doesn’t he? It’s not surprise Godwin is on this list being the faster of the 2 WR1s in Tampa Bay. Spittah will want to air it out as much as possible resulting in consistency from Godwin on a weekly basis. 
3. Keenan Allen- Another double down! Allen may not be the fastest but his route running and shiftiness is going to help propel Moji to the top of the AFC where I think he will be. Mike Williams is a great second fiddle but Allen and Eckler will most likely have the most targets for this team. 

Sleepers 

Amari Cooper- King John is going to feed Chubb just as much as Longville did. But, I give KJ the nod on passing the ball. Once he gets Deshaun if not before, Cooper will demand attention and production of the Browns want to stay afloat awaiting the leagues decision on a suspension for Deshaun. 

Michael Thomas- It sickens me I have to put him as a sleeper but seems some have forgotten of one of the best WRs in the league! Thomas will still be the guy even with Olave coming in. Trent should see a wildcard spot very obtainable and MT and his route running will have to play a part in that. 

TEs

1. Travis Kelce- Mahomes lost his other favorite target so this one is just obvious. Kelce is still very good and will be for some time. Ram is gonna look for that star or X on the field and rain down upon opposing linebackers as he should. 
2. Darren Waller- I know they just got Adams but I’m not sure how much I trust Eikim to sit in the pocket long enough for Adams to crack my top WRs. Waller is an absolute unit and with his ability to make big plays, he will require a lot of attention or else defenses are going to feel like I do whenever I go against Waller in IRL fantasy. Ask Spencer about those occasions. 
3. George Kittle- Can’t have an RZ article without some sort of self slurp right? Kittle is my highest overall target and will be treated as such. He’s a red zone threat and I see him getting a lot of touches in big down situations.

Sleepers 

Kyle Pitts- He almost cracked this list and may have with a different user. No TOFN slander but we just haven’t seen enough to put him with these other guys. Adam did insane things with Pitts last year and he’s going to be very very good for the whole cycle. 

Cole Kmet- Ask who Fields is throwing the ball to outside of this. Not much. Yes they have some fast young WRs but Kad isn’t throwing deep. Mooney and Kmet drags will be the death of his opponent.

Dear Titans,

Hell of a ride we had huh!? We have made it to places that people did not think we would be at the beginning of this cycle. We’ve hit my best season record, furthest playoff appearance, and an MVP. I hope we made #1 super fan, JP, proud of our accomplishments. We fell short of the ultimate end goal but our time has been nothing to be upset over. Year in and year out we showed improvement in various aspects of football. With all this being said, I want to thank everyone top to bottom. The fans, players old and new, and the league for allowing me to continue coaching the sport we all love. Whether our paths cross again in the near future or far, Tennessee will always be special to me. If I don’t return, I will pull for you guys (as long as you don’t hire certain coaches.) and I’m looking forward to every trip home to Nashville. Once again thank you all! Titan up!

Barstool Interview  

Welcome to BarstoolTV! Today we will be interviewing Coach Kad from the New England Patriots after their “shocking” win over the Bills earlier today

(Q) how are you feeling after this win?

(A) “We are feeling ecstatic after this win. It's always great to beat a divisional opponent. It's even more great to whip them so bad that they cry about it mid-game."

(Q) What was your message to your team before and after the game?

(A) “The message was clear: win don't turn over the ball and you will win. Look up the box-score. The team with less turnovers won."

(Q) I saw from your PR team the opposing coach was whining mid game, what do you think about that?

       (A) “The opposing coach is a triple-crown cry baby. I've never heard a grown man refer to shedding actual tears as mental warfare...but it's 2022 and we want to meet people where they're at. Good for him. Warfare = W for us. We will take it. Maybe less time whining and more time winning would help the Bills players focus."

(Q) What do you expect from this team next time around?

        (A) They will want blood. I expect Josh Allen to roll out / shuck & jive 10x more than he did this game. Which is wild, because that's the only way this team can compete."

(Q) Was there anything said between the two sides after the game? The field looked to get a little chippy at some points.

(A) "I told the opposing team that when FA comes around, maybe they want to come to a team where the coach won't be crying, whining, shucking and jiving mid-game. Told some of those X-factor / Superstar players that the spotlight should be on them, not a coach that proudly wears a triple-crown for being the least likeable, most un-fun, and biggest complainer. A lot of those guys chuckled, only a few told me to fuck off. I think some Bills will be patriots following the 3+1 turnover."

RedZone Game of The Week (15)

Welcome to the Andy’s RedZone Game of The Week breakdown! Brought to you by the RedZone Rumble, the greatest RZ podcast! This weeks GOTW features the matchup between the Carolina Panthers and the Atlanta Falcons 

Favored according to DaddyLeagues: CAR by 4 (31-27)

Players who must produce: Deion Jones ATL, Elijah Moore ATL, Derek Elam CAR, Terrace Marshall Jr. CAR

Andy’s Prediction: ATL: 28 CAR: 24

Honorable GOTW mentions: TB/SEA, HOU/IND

This matchup intrigues me because I don’t think people saw Atlanta taking the first one. This could have serious playoff indications of Atlanta is able to take another one and Carolina drops a couple of more games. Atlanta sits in the playoffs as of now but this feels like a must win for them and maybe even the Panthers. With Tampa Bay only a game behind them for the division lead, Carolina is put in a spot to get a cushion, or put a fire under themselves to finish hot for the remainder of the year.

RedZone Game of The Week (13)

Welcome to the Andy’s RedZone Game of The Week breakdown! Brought to you by Kansas City Motors, Roll Out in Style! This weeks GOTW features the matchup between the Washington Football Team (10-1) and the Las Vegas Raiders (9-2). 

Favored according to DaddyLeagues: WFT by 3 (31-28)

Players who must produce: WFTs OL, WFT Garrison Oden, LV Maxx Crosby, LV Trayvon Mullen Jr. 

Andy’s Prediction: WFT: 28   LV: 20

Honorable GOTW mentions: CAR/BUF, MIN/BAL

It’s no secret the Football team is great as passing the ball. On the contrary, the Raiders are great at making QBs uncomfortable with their front. If Mullen can lock up Terry, Bakers life will be a bit harder so Oden needs to be able to shoulder the load and take some pressure off of the passing offense. 

RedZone Game of The Week (12)

Welcome to the Andy’s RedZone Game of The Week breakdown! Brought to you by Little Caesars! What a great sponsor for my choice of this week as we look at pizza critic Moji and his Bengals (7-3 before week 11) against Adel and his recently eliminated in March Madness Ravens (10-1)! 

Favored according to DaddyLeagues: Ravens by 6

Players Who Must Produce: Rob Searles (CIN), Kenny Golladay (CIN), Isaiah Ross (BAL), Marquise Brown (BAL)

Andy’s Prediction: BAL: 35 CIN: 31

Honorable GOTW mentions: TB/CAR, HOU/TEN

This is a must win for the Bengals if they even want to consider winning this division. Dropping one to Baltimore early leaves this game and a couple more chips to fall their way if they want to avoid a chance at maybe (but they better not) missing the playoffs. On the other hand, the Ravens are looking to lock up a 1 seed and separate themselves from the AFC pack and assert dominance over the Bengals to show that they’re not here to mess around this year.
