Eesh. Famous last words on Chark, and I hate the Nerds podcast. Still subscribe, don't listen except in January/March for their pre and post combine thoughts, but other than that, it's a skip. Still, if they said that about Chark, lots of power to them because they nailed that take (granted, there were quite a few others that were buying Chark in the summer, but it was still clearly a minority opinion. The best I was able to do was pick him up via a couple of rookie drafts where he was thrown back in (waived guys are accessible in most of my rookie drafts), and then make insta-trades in September the second he started showing it for real, paying high in both, in what looks like great, great trades now. Not bragging, as my brother took me to the cleaners in two separate Godwin trades that were so horrific, I am completely flummoxed as to whether or not I was dosed before hand lol. That bad. And I went out of my way to get Godwin everywhere in '17, can't for the life of me figure out what the hell I was thinking a year later (and I have plenty of horrible trades in my rear view mirror as well beyond that).FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 11:34 amThey claim to watch hundreds of hours of film, and then ask you for "a coffee",( also known as money.) Then they make comments like, "DJ Chark profiles as a number 1 receiver". Buy your own coffee.FiremanEd wrote: ↑Mon May 20, 2019 4:32 am Amazed so many listen to Dynasty Nerds. While I used to listen, the expanded amount of options made it extremely easy to cut them from the rotation. Rich thinks extremely high of himself and it became difficult to stomach.
I still listen to UTH, though it is mostly fluff. They would be better off cutting Tim, who brings very little to the table. He tries, but I take anything he says as any sort of special insight and I question if he’s actually good at dynasty. On the other hand, he at least is modest, while Katie seemingly thinks as high of herself as one possibly could. I do find her more knowledgeable though.
Played in a league with The Average Joes (maybe still the name?), and they lost all my respect. They co-owned, were slow as molasses, team wasn’t good, went all in (selling all draft picks and youth) for win now assets, and still missed playoffs. They then bailed with limited notice sitting wanting more time for their new podcast. Not the type of guys you want to have guide you. Their pod was garbage ‘got takes’ mostly too (when I listened).
RotoUnderworld gets my ear when it is the Dynasty episodes, but yea, it takes a special type of listen.
Dynasty Tradecast is alright, though Dan is too full of himself living on the luck that comes with a Scott Fish Bowl victory. Nathan is good, but probably too youth focused for his own good.
Ryan McDowell is the GOAT. Enjoy the DLF Pod, Dynasty Blueprint, most of the DTC (Stumpy talks a lot but just regurgitates things he reads and will easily pass on BS takes). Dynasty and Chill is casual with a nice guy host. Scott Connor is a good guy who does his time and hustles. Good guy in leagues too. Dynasty Command Center is good when not puffing up garbage player comps for a website half the show as some sort of support for prospects. Read & React for IDP, as IDP Guys are redraft and mediocre at best.
Spend a lot of travel time too and from work, so lots of listening for sure, though have become highly skeptical of a lot of the voices. Mostly don’t care when people act like their opinion is some fact and that there aren’t other possible outcomes. Just acknowledge that we don’t know the future, but make educated decisions with logical considerations for them. Some definitely have a big ego just because they have a show.
One thing I would love to figure out is if there's any systemic flaw in my trading/picking/waiver decisions, because I'd love to do a better job in all three area's. I think I've improved dramatically in start up drafts, am very good at rookie drafts, but just above average in trading and probably weak in waivers.
