Yeah, I don't know who this is. Smash them. I've heard it before, but I don't know who this is. Here it comes to the part. Here we go. Hey, now, your old star makes me sick. So WIP after I'm showing likes by Confircest, as your 43090s, this is the kind of sign that Jack would pick to make me mad. I have one very specific memory of this song. It is when I was working for WISP very early on, and we were doing a live broadcast from the, I don't even know what the amphitheater in Camden has called anymore, but whatever it was, from a Metallica concert, which is a heavy metal concert, and we're broadcasting there, and we're in the little atrium or whatever, playing the radio station over the speakers, and that song comes on. And I'll never forget two Metallica fans screaming at us what P words we were for playing this song. Just letting us have it, just that we were right.

The Twitter question is brought to by Mark Stroller's football is back, and people are talking about another ring, get the Diamond E. Gase of Ring of Dreams at Mark Stroller's minutes from everywhere. Do you like the renderings of the new Sixers Flyers Arena? And 75% say yes. Oh, yeah. Certainly cool looking from the outside. Yeah. What matters most is when you get in there, or the sight lines good, do you feel like you're in a new cool place? And I think some of the arenas, this was one of the good things about that. Got good food in there. Good food. Yeah. What some of the arenas now almost feel too big that you're like far away. I think one of the cool things about the spectrum was it went, went more up than it went out. So if you were higher up, you still felt like you were close. It felt like everybody was close in as opposed to far away. I think Chicago, stayed in me, feel that way as well, where the Bulls play as a Chicago state. I've never been to Chicago state. But I think that was the design of that era of arena.

So I'm sure a lot of luxury sweets. And if you, the renderings mean anything, there won't be anybody with JoLMB jersey. Oh, God. I'm 5'5". I'm 5'9". He's 4'9". It did one of those four-headed slabs like, oh, God. Yeah. Some of the herders talking about it. Put out another one. Ed and Phoenixville, your own W.I.P. Hey, Ed. Case by Xarda and convenience here at the draft. I was trying to decide between Casey, Conceptio and freaking Tyler Shaw. I mean, for goodness sake. I mean, it was, it was not the time it took. It was the walk back to your papers in between, Conceptio to fix. Like, you had made the pick and everybody goes, hey, Ed, you got another one. So I forgot, for the 16th, Conceptio to round. I knew that. And I didn't spend as long as some others did. But you know, it's that I appreciate you, I for being the sounding board. I wasn't as loud as I could have been.

So, but now all that said, it was a fun night looking forward to, and with my luck whoever in here, it raised team may win the whole freaking thing. But you know, well, I guess that's what we got. That would be mine. That would be all of our luck there. What a Cinderella story. That will be if somebody takes over that team and wins the chip. Look, there is a possibility that Stafford puts in another MVP type season. Malik neighbor stays healthy. Devante Smith really is a number one wide receiver. The Rams defense is a good as that. I don't know. He certainly got some talent in the team. Yeah. He has one running back and it's big. Big deep. And he took three injured players and probably won't play this year. Yes. But you know what? The details. Details. Go ahead. Well, well, it's like to your point about the touchdown interception argument, which I actually really like. And yeah, just I couldn't like I was going to talk about something else and Elliott went just went on his gosh Allen nonsense, which has to go on the Mount Ruff more of all

time bad. But here's the thing. I actually went into the numbers. So turn over machine Josh Allen, right? Or according to Elliott, he's averaged about 3.8 fumbles per season to jail in 3.6. So pretty very, very close there. Yeah. They both also have similar touchdown interception ratios around 2.3 to 2.4. Yeah. But to your point spike and I think this is where Josh Allen 10 times out of 10, you take Josh Allen. Why? He's thrown 127 more touchdowns than interceptions to jail in 65. So the nominal touchdown difference is important. Like, yes. It's a risk adjusted war kind of thing. And that's where I think your argument has the most weight is you have to point win games, wins don't win games. There's reason why I won't get into why that argument just doesn't work. But if you have the same touchdown interception ratio, but you throw more touchdowns, you score more points to win more games.

Yeah. Honestly, honestly, it's like it makes me sound worse about Jalen when he brings up the Josh Allen thing. I think we can put Josh Allen to the side in any jailing conversation. Same the Eagles wouldn't want to super bowl with Josh Allen because he's turnover prone. As he's just, he's not turned over prone. Actually. It protects the ball pretty well. And as you said, he generates a lot of points. I don't, the Josh Allen is one guy who from a weapon stamp. He's got a good running back there. But what he is tasked with, I think is, and what he's been able, he, I don't think he's missed a start in eight years or something like that. He physically, I think, has been very impressive as well. When you watch those games, those aren't easy runs usually. He's a big, strong dude. Yeah. And some of that just physically, he is, he is pretty impressive. Well, you know the one thing it does say though, what he needs just as much help as

to see the Jalen needs to win. It's funny. It's funny. I don't know how that is. Well, that's, I mean, hold on, hold on, hold on real quick. That's the only thing that you could take away from that. And I'll say that with any quarterback that would have to come here or we think that I could come here and win, that hasn't won somewhere else. That would essentially say they need the same help that Jalen needs. Well, it doesn't make Jalen better than physically, but it does say that they still need help. He needs help. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. But, and I, people hate when you do this, I think if they switch spots, Buffalo wouldn't be nearly as good as Buffalo's been with Josh Allen. And I think the Eagles would be just as good, probably better. But yes, I mean, he has not had great weapons. I think his deep, now he has turned the ball over in a couple of spots in the playoffs. I think he wishes he had back certainly in the first half of that AFC championship. Yeah, you mean, last year he was a disaster.

Yeah. But I think like overall, it's, just to go back to Elliott's original point, it's insane. Yeah, it is insane. It's insane. Cause they wouldn't win if Josh Allen was here. Yes. Yeah, I mean, ultimately, yeah. Yes. It's crazy. It's the crazy thing to say. All right, Ed. Well, good job at the draft on it. Ed, even though you took a really long time. It's a really, really long time. Well, go ahead. Do you have something? You know, it takes a long time. Medical malpractice suits. They take a long time. That is why you need somebody focused. You need somebody who's good at it. You need somebody who's detail-oriented. You need a place that is fighting for you. Corn Blow Law. Adam Corn Blow Law fight for you when you have, when you, even the question is, a lot of times when someone goes wrong, you know, the procedure or a diagnosis or whatever, you actually don't know if you've been wrong, right? That is the answer that you're trying to get. And that is the answer that Corn Blow Law will get if you are in that situation and you

give them a call. Maybe the answer is this wasn't preventable. But if it is, you want nobody else in your corner other than Corn Blow Law, an excellent legal team, an excellent staff of medical experts right there, a Corn Blow Law, and a staff of people who will get you answers. If you're in that situation, unfortunately, I hope you never are. But if you are, go to Corn Blow Law dot com, k-o-r-n-b-l-a-u, corn Blow Law dot com, Corn Blow Law, we're medicine and law meat. Jack, is it Newark or Newark? You're on WIP, what's up Jack? Newark Delaware. Okay, what's up Jack, you want to be in the leg? I do. I associate athletic director for analytics down at the University of Delaware and also teach a class on sport analytics. So when I heard there's an opportunity to try to validate the process, represent Stan Hinky and finish what he didn't get the chance to finish, I wanted to put my name in the hat. Wow. So, what's the analytics guy, is that for sports or just for analytics in general for the

university? I oversee business analytics, sport analytics and sports science. Wow. That is, he might be too smart for the world. We don't want anybody actually. When I fall to roster, when I fall to roster, I don't think so. It will be a good challenge. The Blue Hens and Bimicin Dorella story, we were the first year in the FDS last year and won a bowl game. I think the only way to try to top that is take over this team and see if we can get them to the playoffs or win the championship. Yeah, this team needs help. Now, they do have talent. They do have players on there now. They may have been overdrafted. Yes. It's certain areas, but there is talent on the problem. I think his first five picks were okay. They may not have gone in the order they should have gone in. What do you do? God in the fourth round is. Oh, he took God in the fourth round. And Devonte, no offense to Devonte, but second round for Devonte is an overtruck.

Oh my goodness. Yeah. I don't know what the hell Ray was doing, man. And then, follow up, Stafford, when you, well, so my positional quarterbacks and Ed Jack, actually, I wonder what you think of this. I always draft quarterbacks a little too high because I want a good one and I want one that I can depend on. But then that forces me, I believe, to draft a second quarterback, maybe a little too high because my first quarterback is more highly leveraged and is more important. Is that a good strategy or a bad strategy? Nobody gets into maintenance for the paperwork, but somewhere along the way, the clipboards piled up and the spreadsheets multiplied.

I might handle that slot if I have an opportunity. The draft is over, mate. Yeah, yeah. You already have the tape. This ties back to how you're going to manage the waiver wire and think about those things. Sure. I'm sure I'm going to have to make a ground. All right, Jack. Well, you're registered. I like the idea of a super smart guy being in, but also, we have our league draft tonight.

Our station draft. I'm in a position where I could potentially end up with the same player in all three of my fantasy football league drafts. Your top. Your top number one pick. Now, which, you have the second pick in the WIP? You know, you're going to take them. Wouldn't be smart to head your bet and not take them. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying, right? You can't have the same guy, the same player in all three drafts. Now that guy helped lead me to a championship, too. Yeah, he's too good to pass on. He really, and you know they're going to throw the ball. Yeah. What are you going to do? I hate, can I be honest? I hate the WIP. I hate it. I don't want to play it. Rod forces me to. It's not in my contract. I would love him to force me. Next year, I might not play unless I win the league. I'm not playing it next year. No, you are. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Tell us why. I hate it. You're never new chose. You got to do it. But why?

I think I need a coworker. I am a good coworker. I finally joined the baseball league. You did, but you're so thrilled about that because you've gone run. And I might mention. And I made the playoffs. You made me. I made the playoffs. Worth noting. Jack Fritz. Our baseball expert. Baseball expert. His fantasy baseball team collapsed in a second half. And he did not make the playoffs. He didn't. Lincoln limped into the playoffs. I got screwed out of a buy because I'm in the wrong division. Even though I had the second best team, I should get a buy. Jillio is sitting there with my, but Ike battles back from one of the worst starts ever. What were you two in 18? Two in 18? In the first two weeks. Battles back. Friend, are you in that lake? Are you in the baseball lake? Are you in a, no. Nah, nah. It's not smart enough. Well, well, I guess it needs strings. Well, he should get Vonny spot. Vonny didn't even never set a lot on.

Yeah, seriously. Yeah. I'm in the John Johnson Faisley Football League. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he asked me to all like sure. Oh, overnighters. Now is that with listeners? Yeah, listeners, producers, jack millers in it. Okay. Okay. I'm not going to say. I'm not going to say yes. Is Vonny going to show up? She's not going to play the game. She auto-drafted for the draft. What's that? She auto-drafted the entire draft. So, okay, can I say? Yeah, go ahead. I think auto-draft is legal if you set your own priority. So I went, I know what you're saying. So for our draft tonight, I went in and entered my entire list. Well, of your, of my, of my, I'm making up players, yes. So I am, dude, I got a dog issue at home. I'm just saying. If I can be there for it, I will be there for it. But I've set my, my priorities. Yeah. Now, can you interrupt it? I can. Oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'll just go in at one of the times of draft seven. I'll go in at six, set it on auto with my priorities.

And then if we're done in time, I'll come in only. I mean, I may like your draft this way. You're not near me this year. I hate when we draft. Oh, right next to you. Yeah, yeah, I don't need smart guys yet. I'm not taking, taking players that I want in. Right. Yeah, you and Rod, yeah, you guys, I need, although you, you six fifth, we get fifth or six. I am six. Okay, that's four. Yeah, four and a half. That's four and a half. Two on five, five, nine, two, ninety four, ninety four, Kristian and Philly, you know, WIP. Hey, Kristian. Hello, hi guys. Any who? Can you hear me? Any news? I like to say, okay, with this playoff situation, right? First in 2021, right? That's when Jenna first started, right? That's his first starting year as a franchise quarterback. He only had Jenna and Rager and divine basement. She went to the playoffs. He lost that playoffs. Let me tell you why because it was time-breaking that you played.

And no new quarterback was going to be time-breaking because that year, Tom Brady was eating everybody alive. So, Next one was Tom Brady. 2023, 2023, the Vise Smith, North, which is named, A Day Ground played in the playoffs. Okay. And his hand, his throwing hand was broken. And he still played. So that's why he lost. 2025, A Day Ground, Sabotive, Homify, or Team, the whole time, the whole season. And he sabotaged that playoff game. Therefore, that's why he lost. Have they ever lost the game when it was Jalen's fault? Let me finish. Let me finish. No, no, they have not. They've never lost a game that's Jalen's fault. Never, not in five years. I told you he played Tom Brady. So, no, he played Tom Brady. So he was not, I don't even think. Well, Nick Foles beat Tom Brady. When that game, Nick Foles beat Tom Brady. He's a backup.

Like that's it. And that was Nick Foles. That was Nick Foles. And that was Dennis first ever playing. That was Dennis first ever playing a whole year and quarterback. He lost a big. Okay. So yeah, that was his first year. He lost a bigger because he had a broken hand. And he, to, he, he, he, which is called backup for white receivers. Because neither white receivers were there. Today were hurt. They were hurt in the last game. And guess what? He got hurt in the last game too. He got hurt in the finale by a giant. I think he was so, I think he was, I think he was, I think he was, I think he was third and the league in turnovers in 2023. I think he was third and the league in turnovers in 2023. Like I said, like I said, I'm not talking about the turnovers because he still made it to the playoffs. Okay. When his two best went down, he played on a broken hand. Okay. The turn his throwing hand was broken.

Oh, they should put him in the hall famed for that. Yes, his throwing hand was broken. Okay. So that's why they lost. All right. And then he only had, but backup, white receivers, but anyways, okay. Yeah. He's gone to the Super Bowl this year. Okay. He's got a win at Super Bowl. Okay. It's going to be him and John Salon. And if he does that, it won't be that spot. I could tell you that. Because he's got a win. He's going to win. So yes, it's going to be his fault for winning. Okay. He won last time with his father winning. Okay. And he's going to make the Super Bowl MVP for the second time. Yep. Okay. And just I'm going to be crying again this year because he's going to lose that Super Bowl to Jenna Hertz. Okay. There you go. It's a good prediction. I like it. It's good. It's going to happen. Yes. The good news, Christian, is that if it doesn't happen, it won't be jailents fault. So I just asked if they have ever lost the game and that this is fault. Any answer was no, not one time. She's consistent.

So, Fran, we do have a special guest coming up at five. We will do a top five five anyway. We won't do it when a special guest is here. Sure. Because this is a very special guest. It's very, very important. I'm down to boring with your nonsense. It's very important. Right. But I can't risk it with you because you are at the moment. I have it on the top. I get it. I haven't gained your trust enough. I get it. Look, to be clear, I would only trust Jack. I might not even trust Jack with the special guest in the room. But when we do get to the top five, what do we have in store? So the top five biggest afternoon show rivalry. So a rivalry is involving the afternoon show. Kind of, that's a good idea. Yeah. That's why I want to get it in after, hopefully, you know, Robo Paz, you've been kind of last few times you've produced. You've done a very good job. Yeah, you've done a very good job today. I've been there a lot of you, but you've done a very good job. I'm ready. So the top five,

five were easy evolving the afternoon show. Okay. But we do have a very special guest coming up next. I believe it's going to be next. When we tell you the very special guest coming up, sometimes that person doesn't always come in at the time that we say is going to say. Oh, really? He's here. Okay, so you know it's a guy. That's one thing. You know, it's a guy. All right, two month five, five, nine, two, 94, 94, also take any final entries to take on Philly, raise WIP afternoon show fantasy football league team. This is the WIP afternoon show with Ike, Spike and Fritz, Ray, not a pro at drafting, I would say Bradford, white pro pro, they make professional grade water heaters for your home or for your business, professional grade.
