This podcast is dedicated to the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football league. We want to interview each owner and just give week to week fun times for our Fantasy Football League.
Week 12 was a big week in the Big Ditkas FF league. We got a swap at 1st place overall, we now have 3 teams in the running for the playoffs. Let's talk about all that went on in Fantasy Football and the league this week!
It's a Friday edition of the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football podcast! We review the key injuries (Taysom Hill is starting!?), the close and low scoring games last week and review playoff projection percentages! Another week :)
This week on the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football Podcast - We note that we are officially at the point where a champion will be crowned. We talk about the CLOSE games this week and review Kalen Ballage getting picked up in the waiver wire!
Week 8 in the Big Ditkas fantasy football league saw 3 teams go NECK and NECK in some crucial games! As we move to the second half of the season, we review who are the top RBs! All this week on the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football Podcast!
This week Mike and Mike talk about the injuries to Andy Dalton, Kenyan Drake. And, OH, Calvin Ridley just went out of the game with an Ankle injury. So what do you do? Who is left on waivers? Christian Kirk was until just a few minutes ago. Mike and Mike talk about it and then they get to bed! Have a great week 8 everyone!
Mike and Mike try and get facts straight after both working WAY too much this week and being extremely tired. Feel free to fact check us!
Mike and Mike talk about all the covid delays in the first ever Tuesday NFL game, but we're happy that the game went forward. We talk about Chase Claypool, Mark's first loss and so much more! All this week in the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football Podcast
In this week's episode, Mike is on the road so it's all about mobility! We talk about an interesting week as league managers hunt for RB value, we discuss all the COVID alerts and what happens when a team fires their QB? We talk about Robert Tonyan and if he's the right TE that Mike picked up! All this and more on this week's edition of the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football League Podcast
Covid alert - The Pittsburgh vs. Tennessee game is being postponed to Monday possibly Tuesday! Currently Pitt and Tenn players are set to bye weeks! This is important!! Mike and Mike discuss it! Then we review the last week's matchups, the waiver wire, discuss whether Rex Burkhead (RB2 of Week 3) is worth considering and a BIG week in Fantasy Football this week!
In this episode, Mike (Mmmm...Donuts) and Mike (The Washington NFLers) read out a long list of the injuries from week 2 (No joke, I actually hurt my elbow just prior to recording). We then pat ourselves on the back for the great calls we made last week. Mike gets laughed at for starting Cousins (find out just how poorly Cousins ranked as a QB in our league), Mike gets credit for his great game against the Incredible Bulk. We also talk about Gardner Minshew is he the real deal? Is he a QB1 through the next 4 weeks? Are mustaches better than bears and how old was Minshew when Fitz threw his first pass? It's all today on the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football Podcast!
Mike and Mike catch up and then discuss Week 1 of the Big Ditkas FF League. Who do we feel really won the draft? How were the close games in Week 1? We also go a bit deeper into Josh Allen, Cam Newton, Malcolm Brown and Calvin Ridley to discuss if they are the real deal or if it's just fantasy! All this and more (do you even want more?) on this weeks show!
In this very special episode I took two interviews I had with Fred and took out most of the Fantasy Football stuff to get just to the interview. The first is just me and Fred doing an interview and the second was with Will who was in town. If you already listened to the "Interview with Fred Episode" feel free to skip to minute 21 for the second episode. Cheers everyone :)
In this episode, Mike invites a good friend and long-time fantasy football player Mark to discuss the fantasy football season thus far and then we do an absolutely insane Cowboys trivia. You tell me if it was tougher than the Bears' trivia, but I think it was!
4, 7, 23! These are some of the very exciting numbers you might hear Mike speak about in this week's episode of the Big Ditkas Fantasy Football Podcast. Which running back has the best yards per rush average, who is tied with Pat Mahomes for most Yards per throw? Mike will tell you all about it in this thanksgiving special episode. *Please note: Mike will not mention thanksgiving nor remember that thanksgiving is coming up...Oops! I need guests, so let me know if you want to be on, otherwise it's quite boring! bigditkasff @ gmail.com

Mike (Clemson Hamburders) joins Mike to talk about how Mike's (host) team is 0-2. We talk the week, we talk the waiver, we talk about how we really don't know what we're talking about but we're talking about it anyway while Mike is walking home. This is the episode we're submitting for the Grammy people!!!! [Note: This episode was recorded on Tuesday night Sept 17 so maybe some things have changed by the time this airs]

Fred and Mike record the podcast from the back of Pat's (our coworker's) truck while Sylvain rides shotgun. This is the weirdest episode so far. We did talk about football for the most part of it...most of it... ...thing degenerated quickly. Squarespace, the smartest space to square.
In this episode Mike and Fred talk vacations, last week, waivers, over/under on RBs and this week's all too long Big Ditkas FF podcast! We've been getting calls from people that are dying to be on our podcast. We're just telling you. They're dying to be on the Big Ditkas FF podcast!

In this episode, Sylvain joins Mike to talk about Fred returning to a losing record, Sandra finally getting her first loss, and discussing the whether the current top 10 quarterbacks are over or under-rated with as little knowledge or insight on them as possible. Eventually, we got kicked out of the board room, so you're lucky because we were on a roll and Fred, being on vacation, wasn't there to save us with stats! Feel free to send us stat corrections to bigditkasff@gmail.com enjoy :)
In this episode Fred and Mike sit down with Sandra and discuss how she got so good at Fantasy Football, her love of wine, vampires (or people who look like them) and, as the credits roll, why she dislikes 1980 (we'll have to get more into that one). All on this episode of BDFFP. Here's Peter Gabriel's Shock the Monkey - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnVf1ZoCJSo
In this episode, Fred hosts Mike and Will at his place where we discuss leaving TE positions empty, high school ghosts (people who you don't remember at all but all evidence shows they actually went to HS with you), selling T-shirts on Yonge street and the party scene in Berlin.
