...... And no talk about age. One of the final three this past season was 69. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

[@anthonyandren2499]

Mike’s doppelgänger is Coach from Ted Lasso!

[@reidausband9392]

Woooooaaaaaaah

[@jackmiller3631]

Or the ‘Hobbit Lover’ from Clerks 2. Kevin Weisman.

[@Hoppypoppy24]

Coach Beard, I see it.

[@nathansheffield9511]

I always thought a good one was Chris Stapleton lol

[@garykufan5205]

This was one of my favorite shows for you guys! Loved the non football plus the other great questions! Go for Survivor Andy!

[@andrewharris1949]

Have you watched their Spitballers podcast? If not, I highly recommend! Hilarious.

[@lillbunnyhop]

We will never stop congratulating Owl !!!

[@producerborland]

🙌

[@matthewwilt67]

Just sitting here grading quizzes during my planning and I hear my name/question regarding Bucky. Thanks Ballers! Keep those thumbs pristine.

[@kevingrams3809]

Andy, gotta have the producers make you a Survivor audition tape!

[@CSAudio]

Mike seems like he’d be a Chrono Trigger fan. Love the love for Ken Griffey Jr Baseball - easily the game I’ve played the most in my life.

[@tonytime916]

I have to second mikes favorite sandwich spot. We have Ike’s in California, and it’s by far the best sandwich spot I’ve ever been to. Give it a try, you will not regret it!

[@minivan_hobo]

Never joined for the offseason before, but this is just great. Love the show guys!

[@TheShaman572]

We need twice a week Spitballers during the off-season! We’ll be nice and let you keep one day off through the week.

[@ronway7280]

Thank you, Owl! I really appreciate you picking my question and adding it to the end when Andy asked if they should move on. Long live the champ!!!!!

[@NathanPhelpsMcPhelpsius]

I'm going to answer the sandwich question definitively. It's in Kansas City, maybe half an hour from Arrowhead Stadium, all highway miles. Just off I-435 and State Line Rd on the Kansas side there's a butcher shop/restaurant called Fritz's Smoked Meats and they serve a hot sandwich called the Bette Roger's. Ham, brisket, bacon, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, mayonnaise, and spicy mustard on a hoagie bun. It's absolutely perfect, and I'd stake my reputation on it.

[@waffles2waffles]

In the off-season, I think it was Jason who suggested not saving FAAB for later and going hard for your guys early. So I did. In week 2 I dropped half my FAAB on Irving and a sixth on Mayfield. I missed the playoffs because my WRs were lacking (Pickens, I'm looking in your direction), but I turned Mayfield into a 10th in next year's draft and I enjoyed my Irving/Gibbs backfield all year.

[@ER0CK5_]

Yup......dump now, not later. Well done

[@phil218]

I love these guys.

[@tristancooper3174]

In games Austin Jackson started at Right Tackle for the Dolphins Achane had more than 5 yards per carry in 5 of the 8 games. After Jackson got injured he averaged over 5 ypc only 3 times. 4 of Tua's 6 missed games were in those first 8. Achane was over 5 ypc in only 1 of those first 4 games Tua missed. His yards per carry didn't drop because of increased volume. It dropped because they couldn't run the ball effectively after Austin Jackson and Tua got injured. His yards per carry was still insane in many games this year when there wasn't a disaster around him.

[@Mase1up]

I'm here for the fantasy baseball podcast, what is this nonsense?!?!?!

[@RiceReacts-rr]

Fantasy footballers + survivor = happy

[@Sharkparty65]

Re: sandwiches, anyone finding themselves in northern Virginia should go to the Lost Dog Cafe in Alexandria. They have a ton of great sandwiches but my favorite is the Rottie: chicken, bacon, avocado, mozz, and garlic aioli. They also do pizza, pasta, and shakes, and they collaborate with dog shelters and do adoption events (hence the name).

[@CaseyPhillips-gm1jl]

Really wish I would’ve listened to Mike when doing my dynasty startup for Bucky Irving and Rico!! Could’ve been huge difference makers

[@KennethC420]

Y’all were really on for this one. I enjoyed this episode 😂

[@rotitnhoj]

Fantasy Faceoff had me dying lmao! I rewatched Andy's face like 8x 🤣

[@jake_villanueva]

It’s good morning time

[@gonzalogiler2391]

Devon Achane lost Big Bob Hunt to run behind. Don’t think it’s a coincidence that Carolina’s run game improved drastically when Hunt showed up and Miamis got worse after he left

[@DoctorDreidel55]

Yes, love Ike’s! That sandwich is called the Paul Rueben and is my favorite as well. Mike - Get Lettuce, tomato, pickles and banana peppers. Thank me later.

[@joeanarumo616]

44:50 @Andy, I think focusing on being a dad is great

[@kyleborden3580]

My man mike! A link to the past is #1 of all time

[@allgoodgranola6879]

31:16 “Breathing the Insides of Me” sounds like a steamy love song 😂

[@kcdopp817]

We have an Ikes in Santa Barbara, great choice Mike!

[@bob.87]

Big Culps, huh? Love it Andy. If you got the reference, we can be friends.

[@hanaballecherao]

If you're in PHX and like New Yorkers, I recommend giving Rocket Burgers and Subs a try. Chef's kiss.

[@waffles2waffles]

I keep adding "Off-Season Time!" in my head to the intro.

[@tylermartin9697]

Guys I figured out the Montgomery knee thing - Dan Campbell bit off enough knee caps that he had some extras laying around. The hard part was finding one big enough for Monty's knee LOL

[@gAryDiGita1]

from the thumbnail i thought jason had a different outfit on today… he’s like ernest

[@johnofenloch2887]

The sandwich is a muffuletta from central market in New Orleans

[@kevincurnick]

Greetings from San Diego Jason, BONJOUR!!!

[@Cornchps827]

Fantasy footballers actors. Mike= Nick Offerman. Andy= Jason Segel Jason= Will Farrell

[@Cornchps827]

Put the foot logo on the top of the hat for the clean finger grip 👍

[@treymitchell957]

Was not expecting a Boston Rob reference today 😂😂😂

[@kingrex1931]

My most regretted draft pick? In my league you get to pick where you draft based upon numbers drawn out of a hat. Last year I had the second to last choice and the only picks left were the first or last (12th) pick in the draft. In our league the team picking first never makes the playoffs and they are usually one of the lowest two teams in the end of the year standings, so I decided to pick 12th. Had I picked first I would have drafted Christain McCaffrey, instead I got Josh Jacobs.

[@Shathead]

Worst pick - Lev Bell holdout year

[@CryptoSteve-O]

I love San Diego too!!

[@gerardusbrokerhof6850]

That first line after iron goat is dirt therapy, I just hit it for the first time the other day! Suck a dope line!

[@Derek_Brandenburg]

Keifer Sutherland for Mikes actor!

[@NobleVagabond2552]

I need Andy on Survivor like I need air

[@lillbunnyhop]

33:53 😂😂😂insert How High *GET EMMMM*

[@15mrod]

the 40/60 revelation, mixed with Andy's face was LOL funny. Great episode

[@jayknightsoul1891]

Hey Ballers, Have you all ever went back to your pre season rankings and seen what draft position would have won the league if the whole league drafted chalk base on your ultimate draft kit? Thanks Jay

[@swag_hawks]

Are the new hats going to come in different sizes? I have a "Mike" sized head😂

[@buddhadickson4309]

Good morning gang!

[@SubZero_4553]

Bioshock is such a good set of games.

[@anthonychilds8193]

Nick Offerman would slay as Mike The Hitman

[@briggsj2011]

I love big Culps and I cannot lie

[@tylermartin9697]

Andy to Jason: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ABOUT BASEBALL

[@mickvasq21]

Just woke up time!! 🎶

[@samkroes2856]

Comparing folks who play once per week and are not babies with folks who play 5-6x per week and are babies is a wild take. Even starting pitchers perform at the same frequency as football players.

[@2kProGolfer]

Throwing a baseball is the most unnatural thing in a sport. You’re stretching ligaments that aren’t supposed to be stretched

[@danh920]

at 1:25 the phrase you are looking for is "back in the late 1900s"

[@rvanemburg78]

@TheFantasyFootballers Jeff Probst, the host of Survivor, asks every episode for people to apply. They are getting desperate for players so DO IT!!!

[@Big3rwin]

Yall won me my 3rd title ..thankyou ..humbly

[@gerardusbrokerhof6850]

The New Yorker from miracle mile deli is the best answer!! 🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵

[@DrewSorensenMusic]

It’s Football Time! We Are Penn State!

[@Wildcat_FantasyFootball]

Mike could be Travis Fimmel (Ragnor from the Vikings)

[@MikeT1D]

Jonah Hill for Jason is spot on

[@Taylor42Jordan]

We talking everyday sando? Turkey bacon easy But more special occasion sando? Pulled pork probably

[@coolrad7033]

If Andy went on survivor they're ratings with skyrocket

[@jbz1r]

Ike's is solid!!

[@MOBROOKS]

Hello Footclan!

[@BananaHammocks]

I have so much respect for papa josh saying god of war 2018

[@deiveonmartinsen1831]

My brain went the same place with Jason Segal /Steven Segal

[@stevenhattrick9495]

In response to the shot at baseball and not pitching deep into games…. Didn’t lead running backs on teams used to get 25-30 carries a game? And now they split carries or max out near 16. Or couldn’t quarterbacks get hit high or low in tts old days without it being a penalty?

[@teddyhein4902]

Who designed the hats and thought a giant unicorn point coming out of the crown was the best idea?

[@coryjack606]

I live in Honolulu, Hawaii. Living here is a bit overrated. Weather is nice year round but can get muggy and hot, traffic bad, worst state to do business, no access to alot of the restaurants and stores and goods available on the mainland, alot of bugs, people joke the roach is our state bird, shipping things here sucks and always gets lost and takes long.

[@blakeshelton4692]

God I love this show. But I have beef with you Jason, you convinced me to draft Kenyan Drake in the 3rd round

[@bignoggin2342]

I love it here

[@jaredking5396]

David Spade would play Andy 💯

[@SlimRaph33]

Either Jax or Opie from sons of anarchy as Mike

[@Ac87269]

to play jason in the movie i would say Jason Alexsander

[@tothehouse4368]

Sunday games start at 8am in Hawaii. 🤢

[@NocturnalDirtPeople]

Mike looks like the late Ryan Dunn

[@andrepulizzi9888]

Jason looks like Jake Ream from Yellowstone

[@spectre1006]

surprised mike called out Ikes sandwiches

[@CBornfrank]

Jesus christ the mayonnaise part

[@NocturnalDirtPeople]

BLTA is the best sandwich

[@mikekyle3218]

34:30 CEH > JT for Mike :/ Edit: He said it a minute later :)

[@alect1953]

Dameon pierce #2 in a rookie draft. It was good for one season...

[@davesdaily997]

What were the superbowl picks

[@michaelhallier4300]

I’m with you Jason FF7

[@overweightlover9653]

Mike looks like the assistant coach from Ted lasso

[@nickmartin123456]

Andy should be played by Joel McHale, and Mike by Giovanni Ribissi with a giant fake Viking beard.

[@milomacdonald4980]

Clearly Andy should be played by Topher Grace

[@carlosa3132]

FF VII is always the right answer

[@joshtracy4441]

I made playoffs with 5 of my first 6 picks being absolute busts… CMC, White, Pittman, cooper, A. Rich. Only KUPP at pick 4 was any good and I traded him after week 1 before the injury for JT n London. Fantasy is a fickle beast…😂

[@Hoppypoppy24]

Zach Galifianakis makes more sense to play Jason.

[@scottydoesntknoe]

Mike should be played by Rupert Grint.

[@Meatslinger2323]

Most regretting draft pick Michael Vick the year after his last good year, Jeremy hill, and bishop sankey

[@SpencerWiles]

BombAhh Sandwich

[@patrickmartin9945]

Baseball players aren't the babies of the pro sports world... That's basketball players!

[@AnikiReyes]

I dont think he looks like him, but Mike sounds like Seth Rogan

[@RobertShearman-jt3ud]

I think Tom Hardy could play Mike

[@CaseyPhillips-gm1jl]

We’re gonna complain about pitchers throwing but yet none of these football guys can take a hit anymore or play in preseason lol
