Hype Train

Congrats to Tom. First 2x-champion. Postseason MVP: Taysom Hill (unanimous selection)

Well boys, it all comes down to this: Tom vs. Noah for all the glory. Noah has a shot at winning Shaeffer Bowl in just his second year in the league. Coincidentally, Tom's starting QB, Patrick Mahomes, won the Super Bowl in his second year. Read those tea leaves however you wish...

Noah upsets Henry, Ryan beats Connor, Joe upsets Ben, Tom beats Quin

Did someone say "PLAYOFFS"?

Last week of the regular season. 2 spots up for grabs. Andrew vs Quin is a play in for #7. Evan needs to outscore Connor by like 18 or something to get the Wild Card. Enjoy! Also my apologies for the huge amount of background noise of me using a fork/knife for the first ~20 mins

It's crunch time boys. Nut up or shut up. Score points or watch your season die. If you're not playing dirty, then you're not trying

Ben is back after being benched before the Week 10 recording in favor of Joe. Ben received the message and will perform up to Hype Train standards through the rest of the season. As is tradition, Evan & Ben record in person for the first time this season. Which means it must be Thanksgiving Week. Which also must mean we are on the home stretch of the regular reason! The playoffs will be h...

I don't have my shit together lol. On the home stretch with my teaching program. Joe subs in for me this week. He beat me this week so it's a fair reward. Who hates Iowa?

In this week's special Election Day episode, Evan discusses why he decided to vote for Herschel Walker, we discuss the guys jockeying for position on the playoff bubble, Evan shares his playoff odds for several contenders, Quin/Noah drop a trade bomb mid-recording, and Henry sends RB1 packing. It's that time of year. Players better perform, otherwise they risk packing their bags. Managers showing...

Down goes Henry. Took a thrashing from Quin. Ben & Evan made a big trade to artificially create more content for themselves. And so we could talk about ourselves more. Don't like it? Too bad, go listen to Pardon My Take or some shit 

Well fam, we are officially at the halfway point of the regular season. Time sure does fly. On today's show, we have Ben is back from his suspension. Evan moved apartments and has bougie fiber-optic cables now. Henry won again (and I guess broke the record Joe/Evan discussed last week but we forgot to mention that). Hope you enjoy   #ObligatoryEmbargoHenry

FIRST EVER GUEST HOST ON THE POD. The one & only JV. Enjoy. And also shoutout Nick for the wedding it was lit seeing everyone (especially Jay and Tom and Ner). I will probably finish my grad school thing in time but I could use a couple thoughts & prayers if you don't mind lol. Also calling out the Shaeffer Bowl Court of Arbitration for upholding my one-week suspension. Impeach Evan for ru...

Anyone who wants to trade during Nick's wedding this Sat lmk. Also obligatory Henry had another good week. He beat Andrew by 100+ lol. Also obligatory "Andrew doesn't care about fantasy" because we all need to remember he is more sophisticated than the rest of us

It's a good episode. Shoutout Henry. Big week for him

Idk sorry I'm cranking out this upload cause gotta get it online before Henry's transatlantic flight (have fun in Spain nerd). Also I'm hungry af and don't have the energy for a witty bio. Listen & enjoy thx fam

Ethan and Joe did well. Joe lost. Ethan auto-drafted his team and hasn't touched it. Everyone else sucked (Jay and Quin both did fine I guess). Let's figure it out, guys. Other topics covered include the usual "the waiver wire is a barren wasteland" and "we need to embargo Henry". What else is new. You should listen anyways though.  

Shoutout Henry. Again. Jeez. Anyways, I have Covid (rip). I don't have the energy to write anymore. Enjoy the episode and can we step it up next week you guys? Man... not exactly a strong start to the year you guys cmon

Evan and Ben chop it up after a nice, restful offseason. The fantasy draft is covered (Joe drafted in the correct league this year, congrats). Ben actually grew a pair and did actual post-draft team rankings for once. New format for this year's post-draft preview: we drafted owners based on our own rankings. Makes things more abrasive and confrontational, which is always good for league morale. An...

What’s up guys. Hope you have been able to recover from that post-Hypies hangover and enjoy the fantasy FB offseason. As the weather is getting nicer, the days are getting a little bit longer, and summertime is almost upon us, take a listen to Ben & Evan’s customary once-an-offseason podcast. We provide our takes for what has happened so far this offseason. Usually this pod is NFL Draft-heavy,...

Sorry for the delay on this y'all. We were able to sneak this in just before the NFL season got done. Give it a listen sometime over SB weekend. Thanks for a great season, everyone. Congrats again to Henry. Can't wait til next year. Next episode coming post NFL-draft in April. 

Well everyone, that is it. Henry is our champion. A convincing win over Joe, who takes silver. Evan over Ethan for 3rd place. Yours truly was able to somehow take home the consolation. Also, a little treat for the listeners: our newly-crowned champion, Henry, along with a classy runner-up, Joe, come onto the pod for a quick interview about their Shaeffer Bowl matchup as well as give parting though...

Well, it's been a great season boys. 2021 Shaeffer Bowl went by in the blink of an eye. It all comes down to this: Joe vs. Henry for all of the glory. Good luck to you both and may the fantasy gods ever be in your favor. Final jottings: we will have a new champion for the 7th consecutive season. Also: Ethan vs. Evan for 3rd place (both had strong seasons, congrats). And finally, me (Ben) vs Tony f...

Joe, Evan, Ethan, & Henry on to the semis. Only Ethan has ever made it to the finals. Will his experience be instrumental in becoming the league's first two-time winner? Or will Shaeffer Bowl crown a new champion yet again? Only time will tell... get your popcorn ready boys. With a HUGE Evan-Joe rivalry matchup on deck... with a Shaeffer Bowl berth on the line... I can already tell this is gon...

Alright boys the time is here for the playoffs. Shoutout Joe for winning the regular season. Shoutout Ethan for scoring the most points. Shoutout Noah for making a playoff appearance in his inaugural campaign. Good luck to everyone this week in the playoffs. I expect the Groupme to be poppin. Also... sorry in advance about all of the background noise.

Well boys, this is it. Rivalry Week is in the books. Now we have the inaugural Nut-Up-or-Shut-Up Week 14. For those of you on the playoff bubble, I am pulling for all of you (except Nick)
