Recorded a few days late, which gave Charley time to walk through
a Las Vegas casino full of Eagles fans leaving a sports bar after
a loss. He describes it as a top ten sports memory.
Then we go back through the best waiver pickups of our careers.
Sean picked up Victor Cruz at 12:55 on the Sunday of Week 1 in
2011 and got 1,536 yards out of it. He picked up Darius Slayton
on Christmas morning in 2023, won the semifinal on an 80-yard
garbage time touchdown, and did not speak to his brother again
until the new year. And in 2013 he picked up a quarterback that
his opponent had dropped four days earlier, then beat him with
four touchdowns and a helicopter dive.
Also: a guy who drafted six quarterbacks and two tight ends on
autodraft is still alive in our 18-team guillotine league and has
outlasted three people with decades of experience. Jaxon
Smith-Njigba is on pace with Marshall Faulk and Marvin Harrison.
Charley has Brock Bowers in all three of his leagues and has
renamed every team accordingly. And Sean has thoughts about
people who use therapy language without ever having been to
therapy.
