00:00 - 00:05 | So Josh joined our league this year and he asks me |
00:05 - 00:07 | Nick - who is the best fantasy football manager |
00:07 - 00:10 | in the Specialty Benefits Fantasy Football League |
00:11 - 00:16 | And without hesistation I tell him |
00:17 - 00:21 | Tom Lind |
00:21 - 00:24 | if losing in the finals is what you call |
00:29 - 00:31 | the "best" |
00:31 - 00:34 | the "best" fantasy football manager |
00:38 - 00:40 | this guy |
00:41 - 00:47 | let me tell you something about Tom Lind |
00:47 - 00:50 | he lost last year to Joe and Joe doesn't even run his own team |
00:50 - 00:56 | seriously - his wife is actually the brains of that operation |
00:58 - 00:59 | Joe's first pick? |
00:59 - 01:01 | Leveon Bell |
01:04 - 01:06 | Zero points last year |
01:06 - 01:08 | Tom loses to a team |
01:13 - 01:14 | with no first rd pick |
01:14 - 01:16 | and players like CJ Anderson |
01:16 - 01:20 | And the player that actually beat him in the finals? |
01:21 - 01:27 | Jordy Nelson - that old guy who was good in like 2008 |
01:35 - 01:36 | Tom even got 50 points from |
01:36 - 01:39 | Big Ben and Christian McCaffrey and still found a way to lose |
01:41 - 01:44 | But I'm getting ahead of myself - that was just one year |
01:44 - 01:47 | Its not fair to judge on one year in fantasy football |
01:47 - 01:49 | Tom is really good every year and |
01:50 - 01:53 | was even in the finals the prior year |
01:54 - 01:56 | When he lost to Cara |
01:56 - 01:58 | And oh is that even better of a story |
01:58 - 02:02 | He had the Finals won - 60 full minutes of the last game of the week he led |
02:05 - 02:07 | and how does he lose that time? |
02:10 - 02:11 | The Philadelphia |
02:11 - 02:13 | Defense |
02:15 - 02:17 | On the last play of the game! |
02:17 - 02:20 | when no one was even watching the game still except him |
02:21 - 02:28 | He had Nick Foles going against pathetic players like Mike Wallace and a Defense |
02:29 - 02:30 | Mike Wallace and |
02:30 - 02:32 | a defense |
02:36 - 02:39 | So Nick Foles puts up a whopping |
02:40 - 02:42 | 9 points in the finals |
02:50 - 02:55 | but he is still going to win |
02:56 - 02:58 | Until the last play |
02:58 - 03:04 | no time on the clock |
03:04 - 03:09 | a 23 yard fumble return for a TD and gives the Philly defense 20 points |
03:09 - 03:11 | And Tom - who led the whole weekend - loses |
03:16 - 03:20 | 99.8 - 97.4 |
03:23 - 03:26 | Best part? |
03:31 - 03:36 | Cara didn't even know - Tom had to tell her what happened |
