But this is what happened today. Okay, I'm playing in
a PPR league. Okay, every single reception is worth one point?

(05:46):
Does that make sense to you? It obviously didn't make
sense to Jason Kaplan, Lisa and John Hynd, Who's Now
a world famous guy's got a catchphrase, hit him with
the hind. Well, you hit me with the heinous fucking draft,
John Hyn Okay, that's what you did. You hit me
with the heinous draft. You didn't hit me with the hind. Okay.

(06:09):
In this league, there's a quarterback. Uh, there's two running backs,
three wide receivers, one tight end, one flex defense kicking
in eight bench spots. They thought I was the laughing
stock of the league. They voted the Howard Stern Fantasy
Football League. People, these animals in this league. The majority

(06:30):
voted that me and my son okay, who's fourteen, and
his fourteen year old friend, Guru Gray, the youngest guru
in the fantasy business. They couldn't help me out. So
so you know what happened. This pigeon flew the coop. Okay,
I'm the fucking pigeon, and I flew the coop. Now

(06:53):
I'm flying fly Bertie Fly. Well that's what I did. Okay.
They thought they were breaking me down. Know what they
actually did was build a fantasy monster, a fantasy beast. Okay,
we're gonna start this off with a new segment. Okay,
I love new segments. It's a good way to organize things, Okay,

(07:14):
compartmentalize things. This new segment is called seven for seven. Okay,
seven for seven a k a. A touchdown in smash
Mouth Fantasy Football. Number one out of the seven for seven.
All of my picks, all of my picks were fantastic.
All Fantasy football season long, I have been saying I

(07:37):
want to try to achieve the perfect draft. I want
to try to achieve the perfect draft. And within today's
draft of the Stern Show, I think I actually achieved perfection. Now,
I've had two other leagues. I play in the Alison Chains,
you know the group Alison Chains, Jerry Cantrell and those

(07:58):
guys Duff from Guns and Roses play in their league.
I made a very good draft. It's not perfect, okay,
But today today in the Stern Show, with that draft going,
with everything going against me, I think I think actually
achieved perfection. I'll let the people decide. Okay, number two

(08:19):
out of seven for seven. Um Aaron Rodgers, Oh, Fantasy
season long, all the gurus, all the insiders, everybody was saying,
weight on a QB, weight on a QB. The qbs
are overvalued. Don't rush to get your QB. There's plenty
of qbs. There's so many, there's so much depth in

(08:39):
the QB position. Well, this is what happened. Um when
we were sneaking back in the fourth round. Okay, when
we were sneaking back in the draft in the fourth round, uh,
I knew I had a sixth sense. Okay, you smell that.
That's my sniffer. Okay, that's that's this beak here they

(09:02):
called the beak of the East. Okay. I had a feeling.
I had a feeling, and I had a premonition, and
I saw Aaron Rodgers. Okay, I saw him right there,
and I had already picked three wide receivers who I
will name shortly. But I had a feeling that the
right choice was to make a quarterback pick. And Aaron
Rodgers he was there, and he was fantastic last year,

(09:25):
and he was under duress. Some people say he sucked
last year. I wrote him out. He did great. Okay,
he had nobody working with him. His offensive line sucked, Okay,
he didn't have his main his main man, fifty grand
Jordy Nelson. But he he won me games last year.
He drove me crazy, but he won me games. But
that was last year. We're in a new year. I
don't hold that against him. That's one of the things

(09:46):
that people in fantasy football they do. They hold grudges. Okay,
you shouldn't hold grudges. Namely, DeMarco Murray led the league
in rushing at Dallas two years ago. Last year he's
in Philly. It's a ship show. And now you think,
all of a sudden, he's undraftable, he's unworthy. He just
had a bad season. Think about how many bad season

(10:08):
you had in life. Okay, but when I was sneaking back,
I picked Aaron Rodgers and you could hear you could
hear the face of fantasy football Hall I respect completely.
You could hear the gasp come from the great Matthew Berry.
I gotta tell you in Rocky four, remembering Rocky four,

(10:31):
when when when when Rocky cut Drago, he hit him,
he finally cut him, and then he came back to
the corner and Duke Apollo's old trainer, he said, you
heard him. You cut him, You cut him. He's bleeding.
See he's not a machine, he's a man. That's what
it was like. That is what it was like when
I picked up Aaron Rodgers. It proved that even the

(10:56):
great Matthew Berry is not a machine. En, He's a man.
I cut him. Blood was streaming from the eye, not
a lot, but just enough for me to see it
and for him to wipe it away. Oh is that
blood in my face? Yeah? It's blood. You know why
because Rapp reports delight is coming. You ain't a machine,

(11:16):
You're a man. Just like Duke told Rocky and Rocky four.
It was a thing of beauty. It was inspiring. He
was going to pick Aaron Rodgers, but I got to
him first. Sorry, Charlie. Number three in the seven for
seven Morning Adjustments. Listen, you gotta know what your draft is, Okay.

(11:38):
You have to know what your draft is. Yesterday I
drafted in the league. It was half point PPR. Today
it was a full point PPR. Okay, the morning adjustment.
I had to wrap my head around that. So if
it's a full point PPR, I'm going for wide receivers,
wide receivers, and I want big, strong, Coxsman wide receivers, Okay.

(12:00):
I want big motherfucker's playmaking wide receivers. Okay. And that's
what I got in this league. Like I said, we
start three wide receivers, and I doubled back, and I
got the most efficient, smartest wide receiver you can get,
which is putting one in the flex. Four beasts starting

(12:23):
at wide receiver all over six four true stickman, true Coxman.
I'll give you their names shortly. Number five, I'm sorry.
Number four. Matt Jones the steel of the draft. You
do the math. Matt Jones was the steel of the draft.
I got him so late, I can't even remember when
I got him. This this, by the way, the Howard

(12:44):
Stern Draft has eight teen picks. You know, fucking long.
That took eighteen picks. It took forever. It took forever.
It just went on. It was like the like cousins
of players got drafted, retired players drop god draft. I
drafted Terry Bradshaw. He was on the Boys of screw It.

(13:04):
I picked him in the eighteenth round. What you know,
I like Terry. Maybe maybe he'll come off the bench,
who knows, but if not, at least we got him
on on our team. Okay, number five the Denver defense
and Gaskowski the kicker. Okay, we got mocked for doing that.
Rappaports Delight got mocked my team was already solidified. I

(13:26):
don't follow trends. Okay, f f your trend. In the
eleventh round, I picked the Denver defense. You know why?
Because no, they're the number one defense, okay, and they're
gonna get me points. And in the thirteenth round, I
believe I picked no, it was the fourteenth round. I

(13:46):
picked Stephen Gastakowski. I don't even know him. I know
I'm not saying his name right. I had him. I
believe I had him last year, the kicker for the
New England Patriots. I was mocked and laughed at. I
was mocked and laughed at by the great Matt Berry
and his sidekick Lisa, and they were like, you dummy,
you pick a kicker in the fourteenth round. Yes, you

(14:09):
know why, number one, there's eighteen rounds in this league.
What are you gonna do. You have a wide receiver
who's a rookie coming off of Shin Splint, who's never
gonna play duh. I don't follow trends. I set them.
You got that Wrappaport's delight a k A. That thing's
big a k A. Make it stop a k A.

(14:33):
There will be blood. We set the trends. You got that. Okay.
So in the fourteenth round, yes, I picked the best
kicker in the league. Okay. In the twelveth round, yes,
I picked the best defense in the league. And then
I continued to pick up beasts because you fools don't
know what you're doing, because you were confused. You were

(14:55):
confused by the fantasy prowess that is rapp reports a
light a k A. That thing's big number six. I
made a side bet with Lisa, and I offered to
make a side bet. She paused, and then you know,
pride said, and she said, she makes the sidebit. But
then nothing was offered up. You know how I get down.

(15:16):
You know what I do. You don't want to side
bet me number seven? Listen, get the guys you want. Okay.
I wanted the denver D. I got the Denver D.
They're gonna be on the field every single week. Gaskowski,
I wanted him. He's a starter. He's gonna get me
twelve thirteen, fourteen, fifteen points a game. You want to

(15:37):
put some clown second tight end in your fourteenth pick,
that's up to you. You're not a winner, You're not
making an art piece. Okay, get the guys you want.
Don't be bullied, don't follow the trends. Nobody's perfect, nobody
knows anything. The main thing about any draft, let the

(15:57):
draft come to you. And that's what I did today.
I was patient. I breathed. I actually drafted with a
no strip okay, like a breathing no strip so I
could breathe. I was breathing, and I did it. It
was the thing of beauty. We'll be right back with more.
I am rappor Stereo Podcast. Welcome to play a new

(16:20):
podcast network featuring radio and TV personalities talking business, sports, tech, entertainment,
and more. Play it at play dot it now. You
gotta remember this is a per point reception league. Every
reception gets you one point. The whole draft strategy change

(16:44):
because I had the third pick. Overall the way the
draft went. Names were picked out of a hat. Okay,
somehow or another we were drafting. We use the ESPN site.
Names were picked out of a hat. Okay, John hit
him with the heine heind was number ten, Ben Bartow.
Last year's winner was number nine. Jason Kaplan A k

(17:07):
the commissioner was eight. Will Murray I Don't Like Your
Face was number seven. J D stuttering and stammering his
way through the draft was number six, Gary de la Banty,
who I will say he didn't have a great draft,
but something came up. I'm not sure exactly what it was,
but at the last minute he couldn't be there, so
he got an auto draft. His team is not that bad.

(17:27):
His team that was autodrafted is actually better than some
of the clowns that where they are drafting in person. Okay,
so I I can't break Fafa foo, He's balls. Number
four was Scott Scott Salem, Scott the Engineer A K.
Scott the bowler. Number three was me the gringo man Dingo,
Michael Rappaport. Number two was Lisa Anne. Number one was
Matthew Berry. Okay, I'm gonna break it down one by

(17:52):
one because that's when we we had some fun. Round one,
you went a little too early on Todd fucking Curly.
When it's a point per reception, you gotta get a
big time receiver. Okay, Scott Scott Salem, I know, I
I know you haven't been paying attention, but but you
played yourself. Okay, you could come to l A and
watch Todd Gurley, not catch any balls with me from

(18:15):
the sidelines. I'll get you good seats. Okay. My first
pick was a gentleman by the name of Julio Jones.
Julio Jones. Okay, fantastic pick. I picked number three. Antonio
Brown was gone, Odell Beckham was gone. I picked Julio
round number two. Huh, Will Murray, you haven't figured it out?

(18:36):
Have you? You picked Brandon Cooks before Jordan Amari Cooper
and b Marshall. Don't you understand that the New Orleans
Saints they distribute the ball all over the field. Don't
you understand that? Didn't anyone did anyone ever teach you
that growing up? Have you not watched NFL for the

(18:59):
last six years? Breeze spreads it around. You played yourself,
Lamar Miller with the thirteenth pick overall. I don't know,
Jason Kaplan, I don't know. Maybe you were distracted by
having a commissioner of the league. Okay, but I got
a Marie Cooper, A beast, a beast, a big strong Coxman,

(19:24):
big dude. Okay. Second pick, I went wide receiver, wide
receiver round three too early on T y T y.
He's great, but I worry about Andrew Luck staying healthy
behind that offensive line. And Andrew Luck, here's a little tip.
Stop running. You did that your first two or three
years and it was great. And then and also stop

(19:44):
stop saying good hit too when you get hit. Nobody
likes that you got your ass handed to you last year.
So the um cult receivers who seem good on paper,
they might not have anybody to throw them the ball
after a few weeks with that crappy offensive line. All right,
I worry about Andrew. Look, and I like them, Okay.

(20:05):
I picked a beast another another wide receiver, beast, young
stud Okay. And when I say fantasy stud, I mean
stud Mike Evans. Okay. So that's who I had the
first three picks. Does that make sense to you, Julio Jones,
Amari and Mike Evans. This is a PPR league. Every

(20:28):
time they catch the ball, I get a point making
sense to you, guys. No one else did this strategy.
No one else is gonna win this league. The most
interesting thing about the fourth round, as I told you, Earlie,
it's where I single handily won the draft and crushed
the Great Matthew Berry's heart simultaneously. Aaron Rodgers in the
fourth round. I'll take that all day, every day. Like

(20:50):
I said, everybody's saying, wait for quarterbacks, wait for quarterbacks. Uh,
I have three stud receivers. I need someone. I need
a stud to be throwing in the ball. Aaron Rodgers
was there. I took him again. You can feel the air,
you could feel it leave Matthew Berry. I guarantee you
I love and respect this gentleman. He's a competitor. He

(21:11):
put together a great team. His team is fantastic. Of
course he's gonna put up a great team. But I
guarantee you he was going to pick Aaron Rodgers, but
I got to him first. Uh. He didn't know what
to what to do. Berry subsequently went with question mark,
Doug Martin, he's a question mark and Jason Jason, Jason Caplan,

(21:32):
the commissioner of the league. You pick Dante Moncrief. You're
tripping in the fourth round. Do the work, do the math?
Do you mock bro? Do you even mock draft? Bro?
Ask yourself that you need to mock draft. You need
to put that work in. Okay, you have to put
that work and you gotta put that time in. You

(21:52):
can't just step up to the plate and not know
the pitches. That's what mock drafts are for. I tell
us to people that are playing fantasy football, you gotta
mock out bro, and then I ask you you mock bro.
The fifth round started again. Matthew Berry he uh, he
needed to make the first pick because we were sneaking,

(22:14):
and uh, he picked Jeremy Macklin. Uh. I have to say,
I really think he was totally totally rattled. Jerry Macklin
is a good player, but I do not think that
that that was his plan. So what I did in
the fifth round, I took Calvin Benjamin. I have Kelvin
Benjamin playing my flex. Do you understand what that means.

(22:37):
I have Kelvin Benjamin playing my flex. I might not
even start a flex. I might just leave the flex blank.
To keep this to keep this lead competitive, KB is
going to beast out. I don't care about his injury.
I saw him. He looks good. He's tall, he's lean,
he's mean, and he's strong. Okay, so that's who I

(22:58):
picked in the fifth round. Pete were sleeping on Thomas Rowles. Okay,
they think last year was a fluke. I'm not sleeping
on Thomas rolls Lisa and watched two Seahawks preseason games
and thinks Christian Michael is the second coming. Yo. This
dude he got cut from from from Dallas. He couldn't
even get on the field in Dallas. She took a backup,

(23:21):
a backup running back named Charles Sims, who I like
over my pick who starts Melvin Gordon. I'm not one
to judge, but but you suck. Okay. The rest of
the round was good mid level picks across the board.
Listen Howard started fantasy football. He gets competitive. Everybody knows
what they're doing, everybody is prepared and and it's gonna

(23:43):
be a competitive season. This is no walk in the park. Okay,
but I I did win the draft that any any
any any real fantasy football player will tell you Round
seven through fifteen or where champions are made? Okay, everybody
can pick the first six seven picks. It's all the names.

(24:04):
Everybody knows, all the names, you know, all the faces,
you know the stats seven through fifteen or where champions
are made. I got Melvin Gordon, the number one back
in San Diego with a chip on his shoulder. Then
I got Delaney Walker, the number one target in Tennessee.
He's the best tight end this side of Gronk. Then

(24:24):
I did something beautiful. Matt Jones, Matt Jones from the
Washington Redskins, who kicked Alfred Morris out of town, single
handedly stuck his foot about for Morris' ass to become
the number one running back in d C. Steve Smith Sr. Toughness, ship,

(24:46):
talking PPR skills. He's angry, he was gonna retire, he
didn't want to retire with an injury, came back. I
like him. He's feisty, he is feisty. I'll always take
Steve Smith's you know. I got him late, real late,
late and lovely. I was. I was on a high.
I was literally freaking out during this draft. How how

(25:08):
good it was going? Okay, then we picked up uh,
we picked up Rashad Jennings, the number one back in
New York. If he could get his mind right. Just
just just get your mind right, duke. You want to eat?
You want to meet me for for for like some food, Richard,
I'm there. I want to see you do things that
that only you and I know that you can do.

(25:30):
I want to see you be the best. Rashad Jennings.
You can be okay, but he catches balls. Okay. Then
I picked the Broncos d a K eighty five Bears. Okay,
I picked the Broncos d Okay, Otis Wilson. You know
remember those guys eighty five Bears? Remember those guys. That's
that's what I the equivalent of the Broncos defenses this year.

(25:51):
Then I handcuffed my number one pick, Julio Jones, with
Mohammed Sanu. Okay, the number two receiver in Atlanta. How
did that work out for Roddy White? It worked out
really good for Roddy White. Okay, God forbid something happens
to Julio. I have the number two guy, Mohammed Sanu.

(26:12):
It worked out really well for Roddy White, and I
expected to work out really really good for mos Aw.
Then I picked Goskowski. I got laughed, finger pointed, shamed,
but I wanted. I wanted my ten to twelve to
fifteen points a game guaranteed, and my lineup was already set.

(26:32):
You know what I did after that? I went in
the back and I sunbathed until I was beckoned to
make another pick. I was in my backyard, sunbathing, while
these animals were scrounging, fighting for this one and that one.
Who am I gonna pick with my sixteen pick? I
don't know. I'm in the back. I'm sunbathing. I got

(26:52):
my feet in the pool. I look on Kathy Moriarty
and raging Bull. I was relaxing. I was sipping on
some snapple Arnold Palmer half lemonade, half iced tea snapples,
drinking them one two at a time, loving life. It
was over at that point. I didn't need to keep going.
I seriously did not need to keep going. I'm already

(27:13):
getting propositioned by people in this league to make trades.
I ain't trade in nothing. You gotta pay to play. Uh.
Somewhere around the seventeenth round, I picked up Jamis Winston.
We call him famous Jamis a k a. The crab
legg King. Okay, he was just lurking around. I picked him.
I think Scott Salem. After that he had to go.

(27:35):
I love Scott Salem. He picked Marcus Mariotto. Okay, so
I have Jamis Winston sitting on my bench. He's Cam
Newton two point Oh, it's gonna happen. Okay. Then I
picked up Jared Cook, the red zone threat for Aaron
in Green Bay. And Kuan Bolden, who's got a change

(27:55):
of scenery with a real cock slinger. And Matt Stafford,
who I like mass Stafford he looks like my son Macio.
He's a locker room guy. He's gonna hold things together.
He's in a new environment. Picked him up late, followed
by stashing my PPR machine Dion Lewis at the end

(28:17):
of the bench to finish my draft that even the
great Matthew Berry was excited by. I won the draft.
I won the draft. I won the Howard Stern Fantasy
Football League Draft two thousand and sixteen. To work paid off.
This is an art project. Look at my team. Look

(28:40):
at my team. You will notice that I pick guys
who are high in demand in their systems. Okay, they
generate targets and carries. That's how you win fantasy football.
You don't follow trends. You set trends. You let the
draft come to you. It's a PPR league with every

(29:01):
reception worth a point. So I took four receivers in
my first five picks. I did the damn thing. In
fantasy just like football, you need to take what the
defense give you all right. I'm the new fantasy football guru.
They called me the jew ru. I had my sight
set on guys, and I went out there and I
got him. Everybody wants to dance with the Dingo and

cramp for a final exam. You ain't gonna do good, Duke,
all right, we need to start taking those brain focus
pills because you're not prepared. You ain't ready. Duke at
Lisa and you picked Antonio Gates. What year is this?

(32:00):
In front of Julius Thomas Barnage and Martellis Bennett talking
all that ship to me the gringo, man dingo. You
ain't dancing with the dingo. Barry. I respect your team,
your overall knowledge, but Ingram in the third round. Come on, man,
I don't care that he caught fifty passes last year.
He's busted. Okay, he's busted before and he's probably gonna

(32:25):
bust again. No, Bruno, just like Doug Martin, who you
pick next? You're bugging and PPR league. Good luck with that.
Good luck with that, Doug Martin in the PPR league. Yo,
John Hynde. Hit him with the hind. Get your mind right,
your your receivers have everybody nervous, including themselves. Come talk
to me. You you you want some you want to

(32:46):
make some trades, You come to me. Okay, hit him
with the hind. Hit him with the heinous draft. You
want to make some trades, John Hand, you call him,
you know you know where to find me. Jordy, t
Y Brown, Tavon Austin, Kevin White, Where you got them?
Those are suspect picks at best. I like Clay Aikin.

(33:08):
That's a good pick. He's a true talent flying under
the radar for the Ravens. Pun definitely included. Oh Man
Fantasy sarcasm won on one j D. You don't know
what you're doing. Your team will either make the playoffs
or you'll have your team sponsored by Kaiser Permanente. Okay,
Dez Bryant, you're tripping Julian Forte Eiffort and your backup

(33:33):
is is Dalton. Bring some crutches and some head wraps, right,
carry some ice bags when you play fantasy football. You're
gonna need it. Will you pick Brandon Cooks in the
second round before Dez? Don't believe the hype. You pick
that little ship in the second round before Dez. Jordi

(33:53):
Amari B. Marsh and Mike Evans. That made me laugh.
That was like Eddie Murphy delirious laughter. I was laughing.
I couldn't breathe. I like them but that was a
great pick for my team. I mean, that was a
fantastic pick for my team. You got some good players,
you got C J. Cobb to Mary's DeMarco. These are
guys that I'm high on all year. But the rest

(34:15):
of your squad is whack. Okay, that's why you play
the game in smash Mouth Fantasy football Land. Not on paper.
Teams aren't one on on paper, teams are one. In reality,
teams are one with your gut. Okay, Jason Kaplan, I
feel bad for you. Back to back running backs in

(34:37):
the first two rounds in a p p R league.
Listen to all the listeners of this podcast, back to
back running backs in a PPR league. You might as
well stop drafting after that. You're done. You're finished. You're
supposed to have the inside track as the commissioner, Kaplan. Instead,
you fell right into my monkey cage. Okay. I'm concerned

(35:01):
about your team, but not in a way that you'll like. Okay,
A lot of reachers on your board, all right, a
lot of reachers on your board. I'm glad you picked
Aaron Foster. I like him. I hope he does well.
He gave us a great interview on the Iron Rapport
Stereo podcast. I wish him a great season, and that
was a good pick. He wouldn't have come back if

(35:21):
he wasn't healthy. Trust me, he's not that dude. He's
all about his NOMA stay and his cheek. He's gonna
have a good season. Solid pick if he stays healthy.
Ben Barrow, you ain't repeating anything. You picked three rbs
in the first four rounds, including my guy, Levan Bell.
You're a homer. You played yourself three running backs in
the first four rounds. You're tripping a p Okay, they're

(35:46):
gonna be slugging him, lev and Sammy Watkins and Carlos Hyde.
You're tripping. I called out the All Infirmary team all
right after that, he you did good. You picked up
Russell and Baldwin and Marcus Wheaton. I don't know. Maybe
you could piece together something on the waiver line, but
beyond that, you're not gonna You're not going back to back. Okay,

(36:09):
you're not winning another championship. My man. Finally John him
hit him with the hind again. I think the fame
has gone to your head. The top half of your
draft looks good with Zeke and Gronk and the Sewan
all Sean and the next two picks of suspect. All right,
I don't know what to tell you. I like Golden Tate,

(36:31):
all right. I like Russell Russell Wilson's ex Michael Floyd.
If there's enough balls to go around in Arizona, I
don't think there's enough balls to go around in Arizona
to make uh Michael Floyd, Uh, someone who's viable. I
can't believe you took that cheating fuck Tom Brady in
the seventh round. Have you no self respect? Listen? The

(36:53):
accolades are rolling in my forehead, receiving monster, three wide
receivers and one flex and I picked up. I forgot
to say. Dion Lewis may win me the league if
he comes back six weeks later like last year. Last
year he came back six weeks late. Okay, he could
come back to six weeks, seven weeks when the running

(37:15):
backs are dinged up. They didn't give him a multi
year extension, okay, for no reason. Listen, I'm gonna sleep
like a big giant Fantasy baby tonight. Or my Casper Mattress.

fantasy football follies. I'm gonna go take a victory lap

(38:16):

arrived as the face of fantasy football. Ain't I pretty?
