Field Yates (0:00)
We all know Saturday's game time can get a little messy. Your crew came over to watch, snacks on the table, drinks in hand, and somebody's celebrating like they just won the whole season and beyond. And when that energy gets going, your walls can end up taking the hit. Whether it's a big spill or a noticeable scuff, that's where bare, ultra-interior paint comes in.
It adds an extra durable stain blocking finish that helps your walls hold up for the whole season. It also delivers outstanding coverage and hide and fewer coats of easy application and a smooth, even finish that goes on clean from the first pass. Plus, that easy, clean finish helps walls stay looking new longer. So before the next kickoff, give your space game-ready defense and coverage that goes the distance. Bare Ultra, only at the Home Depot.

What's up, friends? Welcome into Fantasy Focus Football alongside Mike Clay and Field Yates. My name is Daniel Dopp. Very excited to bring a Thursday episode week to preview part 1, my friends. Diving into a bunch of the games today. We got a lot on tap, but first and foremost, guys, also a Thursday Night Football game. How are you doing?
Field Yates (1:19)
I'm great. I'm actually curious what you're doing.
We had this conversation, I think, after the show yesterday, about whether you enjoy when your beloved team plays on Thursday Night Football, or if you prefer for them to play on Sunday.
Stephania Bell (1:32)
Strong take on this. You did, yeah.
Daniel Dopp (1:34)
Yes, I do not like Thursday Night Football. Not because the quality of football isn't great, but because I wait all week for that Sunday ritual of football. There is a ritual for me of watching my team on Sundays. The only time I'm okay breaking that is Monday Night Football, when the entire country wants to watch the game.
Field Yates (1:53)
Fair, okay.
Daniel Dopp (1:53)
So that's where I'm at on this one. However, it means I get to watch all the games equally on Sunday with how the Lions play, so that's nice.
Mike Clay (1:59)
And you know, you could pull off a pretty big upset tonight if they go into the new Bill Stadium.
Daniel Dopp (2:04)
That's true.
Mike Clay (2:05)
That'll be a trivia answer for a long time. The first game in the new Bill Stadium.
Field Yates (2:09)
Ah, true.
Mike Clay (2:10)
Look at that.
Field Yates (2:12)
Haven't the Bills won more games in MetLife Stadium than the Jets have in the last two years or something?
Stephania Bell (2:18)
Isn't there something ridiculous like the Bills are free? I don't know.
Field Yates (2:22)
I'm probably wrong in that one, but interesting. Yeah, I actually enjoy watching all standalone games. I would have thought that you'd prefer to have them standalone tonight because of the ability to watch all games equally come Sunday, but I cannot wait for this one. It is going to be huge. We'll talk about Lions and Bills in just a moment. We have some news though.
Daniel Dopp (2:40)
We do, first and foremost, a shout out to our buddies at Trophy Smack, 10% off with the promo code TrophyWeek2. Go over to trophysmack.com, grab something from them like this super cool belt that we got here on our desk.
Field Yates (2:50)
Mike requested a snakeskin belt and Trophy Smack said, sweet, we'll get you one too.
Mike Clay (2:55)
Do I get that for being first in starts of the week in week one? Is that how that works?
Daniel Dopp (2:59)
No, you don't.
Field Yates (3:01)
Mike, he doesn't work with that. Focus, Show League, how'd you do in that?
Mike Clay (3:05)
I did not do good. Okay.
Stephania Bell (3:07)
That's what you get. There you go.
Mike Clay (3:08)
All right, I'm off to a slow start, but that happened last year too, and it ended well, so we'll see.
Field Yates (3:11)
We're not going to talk much about the Focus Show League week to week, but I will just note that I think I scored the second most points in the league this week.
Stephania Bell (3:18)
Good for you.
Field Yates (3:19)
And lost to Liz by 40
Stephania Bell (3:20)
Oh my god, that's amazing.
Field Yates (3:22)
Liz absolutely dominated my team. I put up 155 and she put up 195
Daniel Dopp (3:28)
That's unreal.
Field Yates (3:29)
So Liz, officially the team to beat.
Daniel Dopp (3:31)
She crushed me in the countdown league as well, Fantasy Focus Countdown League.
Field Yates (3:36)
Everything's coming up Liz right now.
