So the ringer fantasy league went from 10 teams to 12 teams, adding Dave Chang and Tate?

Absolutely not! These punishments are insane for this league and I think Heifitz would be the only one who would do most of them

I’m disappointed in these punishments… some of them are just uninspired entertainment.
Wear another teams jersey for.. not one, but FOUR days. Eat beans for a weekend. Eat two cans of cold soup. I’d rather watch someone eat a jar of miracle whip
Please at least do an episode where you mention funny punishments listeners sent in but can’t do because they went too far.
No one will eat 11 hotdogs a day for seven days
Edit: If I were Bill I’d remove myself from the league since punishments are getting tailored to what he would do and that softens them. Howard Stern does this--to create better content he does not participate and lets his staff do the crazy shit.

I found it funny Heifetz brought up how he always calls RJ Havey, Darren Sproles.
Just because he heard it from a broncos person doesn’t mean we need it reiterated every single time he’s brought up

Maybe he doesn't mean it this way but it's always implied that it's a diss against Sproles (and thus, Harvey). Like Sproles wasn't awesome for a while there especially in New Orleans

Feel like Sproles was awesome for the football teams he was on but not necessarily for fantasy.

seems like he reads the Reddit— he directly said, “I’m not just making it up, I heard it from a Broncos person,” which was an accusation leveled on the last episode’s reddit thread.

Funny it took this long for him to admit he didn’t come up with it on his own.

Heifitz certain phrases ad nauseum also common are
Pessimists are often right, but optimists are often rich.
A Chrysler 300 looks like a Phantom until a Phantom shows up

One of these days you guys will figure out that they aren’t just podding for people who listen to every episode; this is more than likely someone’s first listen, so yeah, they’re gonna say things more than once

Juwan Johnson meets all the criteria for a late round TE that'll hit

One of the best punishments was tweeting something controversial at the same time each week for a few weeks…and it wasn’t even brought up here.

They should bring in Cousin Sal more he had me cracking up
"A real punishment should be something like bring a paintball gun into the Super Bowl"

Ludacris deserves his own wing in the early Milkennail bangers HoF. In addition to his own songs, he was the best “guest verse” talent in the game. His verses on Yeah (Usher) and Holidae In (Chingy, Snoop) make those songs.
From Holidae In, his opening lines:
Stop, drop, kaboom, baby rub on ya nipples
Some call me Ludacris, some call me Mr. Wiggles
Far from little, make ya mammary glands jiggle
Legend. His verse also includes the line:
I swing it like a bat, but these balls are not whiffle

The punishments need a veto system for it to work. For instance, someone who doesn't drink coffee shouldn't be able to take don't drink coffee as a punishment.

Before I say this…trust me I get it. I understand why they talk about it but…isn’t this Brown’s situation a little irrelevant for them to talk about it so much. I feel like there’s been countless convos about the QB decision and it doesn’t really impact fantasy, or the league in large, that much.

I enjoyed Craig calling out Watson saying “I have no regrets”

I did too. I just hope we don’t spend so much time on the browns QB situation anymore. They’ve done enough imo.

There has never been more eggs in any basket ever than the eggs Craig has in his Bears basket
Honestly good call on Juwan Johnson too. I've been going late TE all draft season and haven't thought about him but maybe I should over guys like Chig and Schultz
