Rich Dotson and Garret Price are back for one of their most popular yearly shows: the real value of rookie draft picks. With the Combine running and rookie drafts right around the corner, they break down where picks actually hit, where they turn into roster cloggers, and why “not worth a first” is meaningless unless you say which first. Garret lays out the scoring tiers they track to define outcomes. A “hit” requires at least one Tier 1 season, or multiple Tier 2 seasons, with thresholds adjusted by position. Quarterbacks need top six seasons to count as Tier 1, running backs and wide receivers need top 12, and tight ends need top three. The point is simple: if a player never reaches at least Tier 2, that pick never truly helped your starting lineup. After adding the 2024 class to the spreadsheet, they call out early hits already logged, including Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Malik Nabers, Drake Maye, Brock Bowers, Ladd McConkey, Brian Thomas Jr., and Bo Nix, while noting plenty of names still need time to prove it. The biggest takeaway is the stability at the very top. Since 2018, the 1.01 has a 100% hit rate in their sample, and top four picks hit about three quarters of the time, with even more value when you include “mid” outcomes. After that, the first round becomes far less differentiated, and they point out an odd recent trend where 1.09 to 1.12 has slightly better results than 1.05 to 1.08. They dig into a possible reason: quarterbacks often get pushed into that 1.05 to 1.08 range in Superflex, and non-elite rookie quarterbacks are harder to “hit” by their definition. The broader lesson stays the same. Outside the top tier, it often makes sense to trade down, tier up into a proven veteran, or move picks into stronger future classes. They hammer the second round value drop. Once you get into the 2.01 to 2.12 range, the hit rate collapses, and third round picks become true dart throws. Their advice for contenders is aggressive: if you can turn a first into multiple years of a proven producer, that is usually the winning bet because many late firsts never become lineup players. Garret also tests a theory about late rookie drafts. If you trade late seconds and thirds for multiple fourths and fifths, the position most likely to return value is running back. Late-round running backs can become “ships to shore” quickly when injuries hit, and that short window can still flip into future seconds. They add that tight ends are often pushed down by the community chasing wide receivers, which can create value pockets in the late second and early third.

Find out how tariffs may change prices and how to build sinking funds while saving for retirement. What could the Supreme Court's tariff ruling mean for the prices you pay and the next move on trade policy? How much should you set aside for sinking funds while you build an emergency fund and contribute to your 401(k)? Hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola discuss sinking funds and savings priorities to help you balance long-term goals with near-term costs. But first, senior news writer Anna Helhoski joins Sean and Elizabeth to unpack the Supreme Court decision limiting “reciprocal” tariffs tied to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) with Lourdes S. Casanova, senior lecturer at Cornell University's SC Johnson College of Business. They dig into the big open questions the ruling raises, including what legal paths might still allow new tariffs, how trading partners and markets could respond, and what tariff refunds and lawsuits could mean for businesses and consumers. Then, Sean and Elizabeth discuss sinking funds and how to decide what percentage of your income to dedicate to them when you're also trying to hit a retirement savings target. They cover what sinking funds are and why they're useful, where to keep the money (and why a high-yield savings account often fits), and how to use frameworks like 50/30/20 and time horizon to choose between saving versus investing for specific goals.

Rich Dotson and Garret Price are back with one of the cleanest ways to win trades in dynasty: the tier down. The goal is to move from Player A to a cheaper Player B when the weekly scoring gap is smaller than the market thinks, then take the “plus” in picks or players on top. This episode is built around one core idea: if you can get similar production and add extra capital, you are gaining value without sacrificing points. That can mean targeting bad ADP, fading hype, and taking advantage of managers who overpay for the “bigger name.” The show starts at quarterback with a bold move from Joe Burrow to Baker Mayfield, arguing the production gap can be much smaller than the startup cost gap if you price in injury volatility and the market's perception. Rich adds that quarterback is often the easiest position to tier down and brings up Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence as other viable “score close and get younger” targets. At wide receiver, Rich looks at tiering down from Tee Higgins to Jameson Williams, focusing on age, pricing, and how close the points can be if the situation stays favorable. The bigger rebuild-style swing is moving off A.J. Brown to Christian Watson if the plus is strong enough, accepting volatility in exchange for youth, ceiling, and a future first. The running back discussion includes tiering down from Bucky Irving to Javonte Williams, leaning on role security after the contract. The spiciest move is a possible tier down from Jonathan Taylor to Travis Etienne, based on how close their realistic scoring ranges can be and the idea that Etienne's market could climb fast with the right free agency outcome.

Combine week mock draft season is here, and Garret Price is joined by Andrew Mott to lock in a pre-Combine baseline: a two-round Superflex, tight end premium rookie mock that captures how they feel before testing, draft capital, and landing spots reshape the board. At 1.01, Jeremiyah Love is treated as the clear, no-drama selection in this format, with both hosts basically agreeing it would take something extreme to move off that spot. From there, Superflex value pushes Fernando Mendoza to 1.02, setting the tone for how aggressively quarterback can climb in this build. The top receiver conversation follows quickly. Carnell Tate gets the “safe profile” stamp near the top, while Jordyn Tyson comes off the board as a tape-driven WR1 type pick, even with Combine participation questions lingering. Makai Lemon stays firmly in the mix, and KC Concepcion is framed as one of the biggest “measurements and speed” swing players of the week. The mid-first pivots into playmaking and positional leverage, with Omar Cooper Jr. rising on the strength of space play and after-catch upside, and Kenyon Sadiq entering the conversation as the tight end premium value play. The back half of Round 1 rounds out with archetype receiver builds and more scarcity pressure: Denzel Boston and Germie Bernard come off the board, the RB2 conversation starts with Jadarian Price, and the quarterback swing at the end lands on Ty Simpson. Round 2 opens with running back scarcity forcing action as Jonah Coleman comes off the board early. The next pick leans into a traits-and-pathway bet with Emmett Johnson, with the discussion focusing on how receiving usage can create fantasy relevance if the opportunity appears. Receiver profiles then split into two lanes: outside archetypes and high-upside “hit one big play” bets. Ja'Kobi Lane headlines the outside profile conversation, while Mike Washington Jr. becomes a focal RB pick because size plus usable hands can create immediate NFL interest if the testing holds. Tight end premium comes back into play with Eli Stowers and Max Klare both getting love as prospects who could earn roles faster than the market expects. The late second becomes pure swing territory, featuring Ted Hurst and injured upside with Chris Bell, before the mock closes with another outside receiver bet in Elijah Sarratt and a final running back selection in Kaytron Allen.

Friend of 59º North Nikki Henderson returns to the podcast to talk with me about a wide-ranging list of subjects on sailing, life and philosophy. This conversation was initially inspired by my own curiosity about Nikki's writing process. We talked about how each of us think about writing about sailing, how we go from idea to words-on-the-paper, how our experiences shape our writing and more. Then we delve into racing, recovery time after a long passage and lots more.

Visit performanceoptimist.com/attractionpros for an exclusive offer! Mark Rosenzweig is the Principal and Chief Business Officer of 3dxScenic. After getting his start in park operations and park services at Michigan's Adventure, Mark moved into sales and marketing roles at Zamperla and Ride Entertainment, including leading the SkyCoaster division. In 2020, he joined 3dxScenic in the Cincinnati area, and in December 2023 he became co-owner alongside longtime team member Matt Waldenmeyer. Today, 3dxScenic designs and fabricates themed environments, signage, facades, parade floats, and iconic photo-op pieces for parks and attractions. In this interview, Mark talks about integrity, transparency, and collaboration, stirring imagination, and being an operations nerd. Integrity, transparency, and collaboration “We have three pillars that we believe 150% in. Those are collaboration, integrity, and transparency.” Mark frames these as more than values on a wall. They shape how 3dxScenic sells, scopes, schedules, and delivers work. He explains that integrity and transparency mean being upfront about what's possible, what will be subcontracted, and what the realistic timeline and bandwidth look like, with a focus on avoiding surprises. Collaboration is the lever that makes the work better, whether it's aligning early on how a piece will live in the environment, or leaning on operators and mid-level leaders who will ultimately execute the day-to-day. He also emphasizes these pillars internally. From how ownership communicates with team members to how departments coordinate workflow, he sees consistency between culture and output as a requirement for sustainable growth and repeat partnerships. Stirring imagination “It's not always easy to sell abstract decor to someone that, say, is in finance.” Mark describes scenic work as an abstract product that often requires helping clients visualize ROI differently. A sculpture may not directly sell tickets, but it can become an iconic, repeatable photo moment that drives sharing, tradition, and brand memory. He points to examples like oversized entry pieces and themed elements that communicate what a park experience feels like before a guest ever rides anything. He also walks through how ideas become reality, using projects like Holiday World's Good Gravy as a case study in creative back-and-forth, story building, and delivering pieces that can even turn into merchandise. For Mark, the win is when theming supports the story, creates emotional connection, and provides both guest delight and practical marketing value. Being an operations nerd “I'm an operations nerd at heart.” Mark's early-career curiosity shows up in how he talks about labor, workflow, and execution. He credits his time in park services, ride ops, and other frontline roles with giving him empathy for how systems actually run, and why it matters to learn by doing. That mindset carries into fabrication, where one late step can cascade into multiple downstream delays. The “ops nerd” lens also shows up in the company's recent move into a new 30,000 square foot facility. Mark shares how they let departments help dictate the shop layout, aiming for smoother phase-to-phase movement, fewer bottlenecks, and better long-term scalability as they take on larger and more complex projects.

Super Bowl 60 was held on February 8, featuring a halftime show by Latin superstar Bad Bunny (with special guests Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin), and a pre-game performance by neo-punks Green Day.

In the latest episode of Nerd Out, Dave and Alec talked about the weekend violence in Mexico after the death of a drug lord, and looked at the ramifications. Then they looked at Iran, the other potential hot spot and the similarities. They discussed travel considerations and being aware of potential cyber and physical risk. This led to a further discussion of extremist activity, the growth of Al Qaeda and domestic extremist activity around critical infrastructure. They wrapped up the pod talking about Knights of the Seven Kingdoms and the latest trailers for House of the Dragon and the Mandalorian and Grogu.References discussed in the pod include:Mexico Violencehttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/violence-mexico-jalisco-new-generation-cartel-killed-military-puerto-vallarta/https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/mexico-el-mencho-killed-travel-chaos-02-23-26-intl-hnkhttps://thesoufancenter.org/research/war-against-the-cartels-prospects-and-perils-for-the-trump-administrations-military-led-campaign/Iran Tensionshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/22/us/politics/iran-terrorist-attacks-proxies-trump.htmlhttps://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisory-system-bulletin-june-22-2025Substation Attack in Nevadahttps://www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/us/nevada-counterterrorism-incident-investigation-fbihttps://www.ktnv.com/news/authorities-investigate-possible-terrorism-threat-after-a-car-ran-into-facility-in-boulder-city-sources-sayNor'easter Snowstormhttps://www.usatoday.com/live-story/news/nation/2026/02/23/storm-snow-wind-northeast-live-updates/88814627007/https://sundayguardianlive.com/science/the-science-behind-nycs-severe-snow-storm-arctic-air-atlantic-winds-and-a-historic-noreaster-171924/
Bruce & Gaydos share their favorite memories of actor Robert Carradine and talked about his movie, Revenge of the Nerds.
In this episode of The Property Nerds, hosts Arjun Paliwal and Jack Fouracre unpack the sweeping changes hitting Australia's lending landscape, what they mean for serious property investors, and how non-bank lenders are entering the void. The duo breaks down why major banks are tightening trust and company lending, following regulatory pressure from the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, and why longstanding strategies built on "endless borrowing" are rapidly disappearing. They explore how lenders such as Macquarie Bank helped fuel aggressive trust lending in recent years, and why those policies are now being quietly wound back amid heightened scrutiny. Listeners will also gain clarity on how new anti-money laundering rules will impact not just banks and brokers, but also investors, adding layers of administration, cost, and complexity to trust lending structures. Paliwal and Fouracre then explain why non-bank lenders are stepping in as major banks retreat, how brokers now facilitate close to 80 per cent of Australian lending, and why having an investment-specialist finance team has become non-negotiable for portfolio builders.
Combine week is here, and Ceiling and Floor is back before the real testing starts. Jagger May and Andrew Mott run through a slate of running backs with ceiling and floor comps, while repeating an important reminder: these are stylistic outcomes, not destiny. The episode starts with Jeremiah Love as the clear top name in the class, with big, usage-driven upside and rare receiving potential. From there, they dig into the next tier of backs and what could swing outcomes at the next level: lateral agility for Jadarian Price, pass pro and role certainty for Emmett Johnson, and how speed testing could make or break the outlook for Jonah Coleman. Later, the discussion turns to the broader “don't over-draft this class” warning, especially for dynasty players who might fall in love with RB2 in this group without comparing the talent to other NFL backs. That context shows up again when they get into Kaytron Allen, Mike Washington Jr., Nicholas Singleton, and Demond Claiborne, where landing spot, role, and Combine numbers could cause major movement. Behind Love, this class has more unanswered questions than usual. The crew argues that the Combine will be critical for sorting out who can erase athletic concerns, who needs specific coaching to unlock receiving or pass protection, and who might be pushed down boards when the testing confirms the doubts.

It is the argument that has ended friendships, a debate that often leaves two people screaming at each other like Goku. But don't worry, we have a rather civilized discussion on the merits of both subtitled anime and dubbed anime.

Understand common money traps and what to do as homeowners insurance premiums rise across the country. Your brain can be expensive. That's why hosts Sean Pyles and Elizabeth Ayoola break down three behavioral finance biases (loss aversion, herd mentality, and overconfidence) and how they can lead to costly spending and investing decisions. Then, NerdWallet editor Caitlin Constantine joins to answer a listener's question about whether buying a home still makes sense as homeowners insurance premiums skyrocket and coverage gets harder to find in some areas. They dig into “escrow shock,” FAIR plans, why some homeowners go uninsured, and practical ways to plan for higher housing costs. Plus: what renters can and should protect with renters insurance.
