What's up, friends? Welcome in to Fantasy Focus Football alongside Field Yates and Michael Cape Cod Clay. My name is Daniel Dopp.

Mike Clay (0:48)

Got some new merch?

Daniel Dopp (0:49)

That seems like it, Michael.

Mike Clay (0:50)

I'm here.

I got this nice sweatshirt. I had to fit in. I had to go shopping, get some Cape Cod merch. I got my daughter's hat, and she wanted me to bring her a toy lobster. I brought my sunglasses just in case.

Daniel Dopp (1:01)

One of those guys.

Mike Clay (1:02)

I'm one of those guys now. You know what? I did, you know, we did take a boat into the city, into Boston the first night before we had to keep cod. And I got to tell you, a lot of people looked like Field, you know? A lot of people dressed like Field.

I thought you were kind of dressed in original, but a lot of Fields on that boat.

Field Yates (1:19)

You know what, Mike? Nothing, if not unoriginal.

Mike Clay (1:22)

They were like all in finance? Yeah, that's how it works. That's how it works.

Field Yates (1:26)

I was talking about Fantasy Football this night.

Daniel Dopp (1:28)

I'm glad you got your vacation in because you're about to work for 18 straight weeks in a row, Michael.

Field Yates (1:33)

It's about to be busy time.

Mike Clay (1:34)

Less vacation, more kids trip, that was. We had a nice time, but I don't vacation now until, I don't know, what? We go to the Super Bowl in February? I don't. Thanksgiving. You get a little break.

Field Yates (1:44)

I want to add on to something you said, and then we're doing football in two seconds.

As a parent, especially when your kids are like under the age of 15, you don't take vacations, you take trips. There's nothing vacation about it. We have come home from vacations, air quotes, and the first thing my wife and I want to do is get in the bed for like three straight days, and catch up on sleep that you don't get.

Mike Clay (2:04)

Family trips, vacations. They're different. Vacations.

Daniel Dopp (2:08)

On today's show, we got the biggest line up decisions for week one.

Mike Clay (2:12)

We're going to make them.

Daniel Dopp (2:13)

It's week one, it's here. Last minute draft advice as well. By the way, football starts on Wednesday.

Mike Clay (2:18)

Yeah, tomorrow.

Daniel Dopp (2:19)

And then there's also football on Thursday still.

Field Yates (2:22)

What a weird, it's such a weird year in so many ways. It's the latest, because the NFL will always start its season, the week of Labor Day. So Monday, of course, is Labor Day, the week of.

It's almost always the Thursday after Labor Day. But because of the fact that the NFL is playing a game in Australia, they're moving the kickoff game up to Wednesday night. So the Patriots and Seahawks will play, and then basically go on a mini-buy. And then on Thursday, the Rams and the Niners will play, but it will be Friday in Australia.

Daniel Dopp (2:51)

Also going to be a great game.

Field Yates (2:52)

It's going to be quirky. And the Rams, by the way, play, they haven't even left for Australia, which is wild. The Rams haven't? They haven't left, no.

Daniel Dopp (2:59)

Wow.

Field Yates (2:59)

They leave, I think, tonight, because they're going to arrive at, so the game is being played, I believe, at 11 o'clock local on Friday morning.

Daniel Dopp (3:06)

Okay.

Field Yates (3:06)

Or 10.30, because the game kicks off here at 8.30. The Rams are going to arrive at 10.3 on Thursday morning in Australia.

So from the time they touch down until kickoff, they will have been in Australia for 24 hours.

Daniel Dopp (3:19)

Wow. The Niners got there last week.

Mike Clay (3:21)

Yeah, George Kittle's been there partying for a month. They're all settled in.

Field Yates (3:26)

Kittle has adopted four kangaroos since they arrived.
