Mount up! ... It means get on your horses. The Fantasy Football Party-goers unleashed their final episode of the 2018 season on an unsuspecting holiday party in the Beer Hall at JL Beers, dropping knowledge like it was hot and providing a dedicated listener base with all the knowledge necessary to build stacks of cash and take down season-long leag…

We really can't stay (Baby, it's cold outside) Two weeks ’til we go away (Baby it's cold outside) This evening has been (Been hoping that you'd drop in) So very nice (On Joshua Allen we’ll roll the dice) Our mothers will start to worry (Don’t start Latavious Murray) Our fathers will be pacing the floor (Need a running back who can score) (Narrator:…

On the uno dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… a Stone Xocoveza from JL Beers. On the dos dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… dos Buffalo receivers kicked to the curb. On the tres dia de Navidad, the FF Party gave to me… tres 50/50 lineups to help fill that gaping hole in your roster left by James Connor’s injury and Kareem Hunt’s stupidi…

There’s a passage the Fantasy Football Party-goers have memorized. Ezekiel Elliott 25:17. “The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s kee…

As we gather around the table to give thanks for a third NFL game on Turkey Day so we don’t have to actually interact with relatives, the Fantasy Football Party-goers also give thanks for you, the listener. And pumpkin pie. Don’t ask us to prioritize. Gathering a night early so that our respective families may enjoy the same juvenile humor you the …

In a way, all of us has an El Guapo to face. For some, shyness might be their El Guapo. For others, a lack of education might be their El Guapo. For us, El Guapo is a big, dangerous man who wants to kill us. But as sure as our names are Lucky Day, Ned Nederlander, and Dusty Bottoms… uh, Anthony Maggio, Bo Mitchell, and John Tuvey, the people of San…

America needs a podcast like the Fantasy Football Party. Other podcasts are made by people who came here illegally from other planets, beat puppies with wet noodles and metal tubing, and are beholden to the kicker lobbyists for lineup information. We’re almost 100 percent sure that’s true. And if it’s not, who cares? Health care industry lobbyists …

Bo was checking FantasyLabs late one night When his eyes beheld an eerie sight It wasn’t 2V gulping down fries Instead he got a big surprise He lost to Magsh He lost 50/50 to Magsh That bastard Magsh Part of the FFP menage Four wins for Magsh It’s a fact we can’t dodge All hail to Magsh He’s the king of the lodge Yes, your beloved Fantasy Football …

The Fantasy Football Party is a safe place. A place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. Think of our office in the beer hall at JL Beers in Burnsville as a nest in a tree of trust and understanding. We can say anything here. Anything? Well, uh, I guess Bo, deep down, is feeling a little confused. I mean, suddenly, you set a 50/50 record an…

It’s October, which means many things to many people. The leaves are changing colors, the fantasy football season is reaching its midpoint, and Oktoberfest celebrations bring ales of many flavors to great beer halls like the one at JL Beers in Burnsville. It’s also the official “Cancer is Bad” month in the NFL, which is a serious event indeed… thou…

Once upon a time… not so long ago… Tuvey used to work on the docks, Magsh has been on strike, Bo’s down on his luck… it’s tough, so tough. Ajayi won’t be able to play, Clement is Bo’s man but for Smallwood Magsh pays… for love, for love. We say you’ve got to listen to have a shot, it doesn’t make a difference if it’s redraft or not. We’ve got DFS a…

You knew it was going to be one of those nights when Bo grabbed Smallwood, then talked up the need for giving Chubb more touches. Yes, the Fantasy Football Party-goers have the collective juvenile mindset of prepubescent teenage boys, but at least they refrained from making a Curtis Enis joke. (Narrator: They didn’t.) But double-entendres aside, th…

The FF Party hosts are nothing if not able to take a misheard report and run amok with it. They can also take a nothing day and make it all seem worthwhile, but that’s a theme for another set of show notes. This week it was John Brown practicing without pants (Pants? You mean “pads”? Forget it, he’s rolling) that captivated the crew, who themselves…

Maybe it was the temporary new location (JL Beers, of course, but this one in Nordeast Minneapolis). Maybe it was the raucous crowd or the lack of a Beer Hall for recording purposes. Or maybe it was Bo’s bushy mane of chest hair bursting forth from his half-zipped Zubaz track jacket, only partially hidden by DeSean Jackson’s jewelry—which, apparent…

For a moment, it felt as if the 2018 season of the Fantasy Football Party podcast was over. Magsh lay supine on the floor, as close to the afterworld as one could possibly be without crossing over. Was this it? Would he ever walk again? Would we have to turn to Deshone Kizer to cohost the show the rest of the way? Nah. Magsh isn't a spineless drama…

Bo was walking down a one way street Just a lookin' for a team he could beat One Browns fan who was looking for a win Now he's hopin' (hopin') that the feeling is right And we're wonderin' (wonderin') if he's been plagued with blight It's a party (Bo don't want to be lonely baby please help him) He's drafted Nick Chubb all over Do you believe in Br…

The final FF Party preseason podcast was predictably prescient--and if you're anything like 2V you're probably pronouncing that poorly. Bo amazed the audience with all his awesome alliteration, Magsh bounced back and forth between bits of breaking news and bashing the 'Boys' bad receivers, and 2V trashed a trendy quarterback while touting a terrifi…

Longtime friend of the Fantasy Football Party Huey Lewis once sang he finally found a home, and the FFP crew did the same as Episode 3 of the podcast landed, for the entirety of the 2018 season, at JL Beers in Burnsville. Comfortably ensconced in the friendly confines of the Beer Hall, our suds-soaked warriors sampled JL Beers' 48 taps and their ou…
