The Show: Super Bowl LX Preview, Part 2

**JJ** (0:00)
You're about to listen to a special edition of The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, which was recorded at Radio Row prior to this year's Super Bowl. If you want to watch it, you can find it on YouTube as well, youtube.com/atlateroundff. The format is a little bit different than usual, but we hope that you still get a lot from listening to the show. Next week, we'll be back in our normal schedule. But for now, we hope you enjoy.

Welcome in, welcome in, to The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, live from Super Bowl LX, Radio Row, here on the iHeart and NFL Podcast Network set. JJ, how are you feeling right now?

**JJ** (0:49)
Right now, pretty good. Yeah. We just had a pretty hilarious experience here on Radio Row.

**David** (0:54)
An awesome moment. I just wanna take people behind the scenes, because that's why people enjoy what we're doing here. But we saw Joe Flacco.

**JJ** (1:01)
We did, we did.

**David** (1:02)
And you're like, there's Flacco, there's Flacco.

**JJ** (1:03)
Well, the reason that the Flacco thing matters is because for literally my whole career in this fantasy space, people have said that Joe Flacco is my doppelganger.

**David** (1:14)
Yeah.

**JJ** (1:14)
So I was like, man, it'd be kind of cool to meet him and get a picture with him.

**David** (1:18)
Yeah. And so he's late for whoever he was with. He's late for an interview. And so you and I are about to start this show. And then I just hear in my headphones, hey, am I too late for the shot? And you didn't see it. And so you're taking a selfie trying to make sure your hair is okay. That's right. And we turn around, it's Joe Flacco.

**JJ** (1:37)
It's Joe Flacco.

**David** (1:38)
And we took a picture.

**JJ** (1:39)
Yes.

**David** (1:39)
So now we know that Joe Flacco and JJ are not the same person.

**JJ** (1:44)
And to be clear, I took off my glasses for the picture because that would give the full effect of the doppelganger.

**Treylon Burks** (1:50)
Yeah.

**JJ** (1:51)
He's actually walking behind us here in a second, so you might even be able to catch it. But it was awesome. This is what Radio Row is about. It's just, again, steady yesterday on the show. You're connecting with players in a different way that you typically are able to from a fantasy perspective, and you're able to see the human side to it. And it's great that we got to exchange handshakes with Mr. Flacco.

**David** (2:13)
It is surreal. JJ, you think about where you started from Mom's Basement.

**JJ** (2:19)
Mom's Basement to Radio Row, baby.

**David** (2:21)
I mean, we're looking right now at TO and Manta Teo and all the guys.

**JJ** (2:27)
Kyle Brant was over there.

**David** (2:28)
Yeah. I mean, right next to us. And here we are talking about fantasy football.
That's living the dream, JJ. I want to just remind people to like, subscribe to our YouTube, obviously, and go and sign up for late round.com, the free newsletter that we have. And if you want to, we've already had a few people come up to us here at Super Bowl and say they're Prospect Guide users. If you want to, the Prospect Guide is now available to pre-order at late round.com. So with that being said, JJ, let's get on to today's news.

**Treylon Burks** (3:04)
Today's fantasy news.

**David** (3:07)
All right, not a lot of news today.

**JJ** (3:09)
But we got news overnight, which is cool.

**David** (3:11)
Yeah, we didn't think we were gonna do news. Yeah. We got news. Yeah. So obviously we're in here and we have our sheet that we've been working on as far as head coaches and offensive coordinators. And it's almost full because we have, I'm gonna let you say, since you're the Pittsburgh guy, JJ, bro, I'll let you say the new offensive coordinator.

**JJ** (3:34)
Brian, no, it's so what I've gathered, because I don't know much about him. To be clear, this is going to be more off off the cuff. But Brian, Angelicchio, I don't know what it is. But yeah, he was sort of like a past game assistant for Minnesota. He's now taking over as offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh. I was, as I said yesterday, I was a little bit intrigued by Scott Tolzin. And then obviously we had Josh Johnson talk about how a lot of these backup quarterbacks are brilliant minds of the game. And I think that we're seeing that trend throughout the NFL.
This hire, it's funny, if you look at the Mike McCarthy staff and what he's putting together, you get a lot of Packers guys that eat. And look, when you hire somebody, and I know this from experience, hiring you, Kitchen. When you hire someone, you want someone that you can trust, someone you ever pour with, all that.
