Welcome to The Ringer Fantasy Football Show.

Danny Heifetz (2:30)

My name is Danny Heifetz and I'm joined by Danny Kelly and Craig Horlbeck and the 49ers just beat the Rams ass by 20 points in Australia. Niners won 27 to 7 So Craig, the Niners scored a point for almost every hour that the Rams had beaten. What a point for almost every hour that the Rams had been in Australia before the game.

Craig Horlbeck (2:44)

Look, I just flew four and a half hours to Toronto and I'm exhausted. So I can't.

And it's 11 o'clock at night. I can't imagine what Matt Stafford and the Rams felt like landing in Melbourne yesterday and playing a game. It looked like a team that was incredibly jet lagged. So points to the Niners and points to getting there a week early.

Danny Kelly (3:06)

Craig, don't you mean Melbourne, Melbourne?

Craig Horlbeck (3:09)

They were saying Melbourne.

SPEAKER_6 (3:09)

When did we decide that?

Craig Horlbeck (3:12)

You know, I will give credit to, was it Austin or DK? One of you was saying Melbourne and then Heifetz is like, don't say that. It's Melbourne. No, that was me.

Danny Kelly (3:18)

I said, just say Melbourne. Don't say Melbourne.

Craig Horlbeck (3:21)

But then everybody on the broadcast is saying Melbourne.

Danny Kelly (3:23)

Well, this is what I heard.

Danny Heifetz (3:23)

Everyone on the broadcast is saying Melbourne. Apparently, I mean, everybody, everyone is so see what the Netflix broadcast is doing it. And I'm sure that they're right and technically correct. However, it does sound like everyone was making fun of it.

Danny Kelly (3:36)

We are here. We're coming here live from Barcelona. We're coming here live from Ibiza.

SPEAKER_1 (3:40)

I went to Ibiza, Barcelona.

Danny Heifetz (3:43)

Sounds ridiculous.

Danny Kelly (3:44)

This is we're just looking ridiculous here. But anyways, it's fine. Whatever. It doesn't matter.

Did the Rams?

It did kind of annoy me the whole time. The Rams, guys, they sure looked like a team that just got off the plane. And that was like I know we talked about this a lot. It's just I know there's a lot of variables. This just feels like a colossal mistake of the way that they did this travel. Right. Like isn't this the big takeaway is like this was the stupidest decision. I can't even imagine like how tired they were.

Danny Heifetz (4:16)

No one's going to do it again.

Craig Horlbeck (4:19)

That's probably right. They just looked old to me. Like, to be honest, the Rams just looked like this was still the preseason and they were still getting into the swing of things. I'm like, Stafford looked 38 like he hadn't played in nine months. Miles Garrett didn't even play that much. Donald didn't make the trip. Like, this team just looked old to me. Like, they just looked like it was preseason week four and the Niners were more prepared.
