Week 3 gave fantasy managers a LOT to sort through. Dan Williamson, Chris Vaccaro, Nelson Sousa, and Matt Modica break down the biggest developments — including the Giants' trade for J.J. McCarthy and what it means for McCarthy, New York, and the players around him. We start with our biggest Week 3 observations before tackling a brutal injury list featuring Baker Mayfield, De'Von Achane, Breece Hall, Travis Etienne, Justin Jefferson, Mike Evans, Jalen Coker, and Terrance Ferguson. Who gets elevated because of these injuries, and which players or offenses should we be fading? Then it's The Drake Maye Question: What's gone wrong, and is it fixable? We also put some of the NFL's most surprising offenses under the microscope. Are the Raiders, Panthers, Saints, and Jets for real? And can the struggling Vikings, Texans, Chargers, and Broncos get their offenses — and their fantasy assets — back on track? Finally, we identify Top-100 fantasy picks we're BENCHING until they show us something. Draft capital doesn't matter anymore. If they're hurting your lineup, it may be time to find them a seat. Plus: our biggest observations and takeaways from everything we saw in Week 3. –

Episode 234:The Foxx Den Sports Podcast is breaking down the entire AFC for the 2026 NFL season! Who wins each division, which teams make the NFL Playoffs, and who ultimately represents the AFC in the Super Bowl?The Podfather, Gannon, Kellen, and Clay make their official 2026 NFL predictions for every team in the AFC East, AFC North, AFC South, and AFC West — and there are some HUGE disagreements.Can the Buffalo Bills finally make their Super Bowl run? Are the Kansas City Chiefs still dangerous enough to survive the AFC? Could the Denver Broncos claim the No. 1 seed? Are the Houston Texans ready to explode? And could the Jacksonville Jaguars actually become the surprise team of the conference?We give projected records for every AFC team before building our complete playoff brackets through the Wild Card Round, Divisional Round and AFC Championship Game.

Episode 235:The Foxx Den Sports Podcast is making our official 2026 NFC predictions — and some of these picks are WILD.Who wins the NFC East, NFC North, NFC South and NFC West? Which teams make the 2026 NFL Playoffs? And who survives the NFC Championship Game and ultimately wins Super Bowl LXI?The Podfather, Kellen, Gannon and Clay break down projected records for every NFC team before building their complete playoff brackets.

In this episode of the Mind of Mansion, The Podfather is joined by FTN's Jeff Ratcliffe to dissect late-summer fantasy football chaos, historical injury trends, and the high-upside draft targets you need to win your league. Are current injuries and suspensions actually worse than historical averages over the last decade, or is recency bias clouding draft rooms? We break down how to exploit panicked ADPs, evaluate the true ceiling for Jahmyr Gibbs, and debate how high is too high to draft MarShawn Lloyd. Plus, the guys tackle backfield uncertainty surrounding Jeremiyah Love, Omarion Hampton, and why a workhorse like Saquon Barkley has somehow become "boring" value. On the pass-catching side, we examine Nico Collins' wild ADP swing, Jaylen Waddle's outlook changing teams, Rome Odunze vs. Luther Burden, and how Cam Ward's training camp struggles impact Carnell Tate. Finally, dive into late-round sleepers to target right now—from Malachi Fields stepping up after Calvin Austin's injury to Miami's open target tree, sleeper tight ends, and bold predictions. Key Topics Discussed: Historical Injury & Suspension Trends: Deciphering 10-year data vs. draft-room panic. Running Back Upside & Chaos: Jahmyr Gibbs' absolute ceiling, MarShawn Lloyd's draft range, Jeremiyah Love, and Omarion Hampton capitalizing on Keaton Mitchell's health. WR Values & Breakouts: Nico Collins ADP correction, Jaylen Waddle, and Rome Odunze vs. Luther Burden vs. Colston Loveland. Late-Round Sleepers & Targets: Malachi Fields in the slot, Miami's wide-open competition (Caleb Douglas vs. Cyrus Allen), and De'Zhaun Stribling. Team Offenses Under the Microscope: Cam Ward & Carnell Tate, Green Bay pass-catchers (including Tucker Kraft), and Pittsburgh Steelers draft viability. Late-Round Tight Ends & Bold Predictions: Cheap answers at TE to target in final rounds. –

Oklahoma football is back, and the Sooners enter their season opener against UTEP with plenty to prove.Can Oklahoma's offensive line protect John Mateer and finally establish a reliable running game? Is Brent Venables' defense talented enough to carry the Sooners through another brutal SEC schedule? We break down the offensive line, John Mateer's development, OU's running backs and receivers, Jason Witten's potential impact on the tight ends, and whether this is officially a College Football Playoff-or-bust season.The Foxx Den crew also gives its OU vs UTEP score predictions, discusses the massive point spread, and debates whether Mateer could become a Heisman Trophy finalist if Oklahoma wins 10 games.CHAPTERS00:00 Oklahoma football is back01:18 OU's offensive line must improve02:33 Can the line prove anything against UTEP?06:00 Can OU's defense carry the team again?09:24 Oklahoma's depth-chart concerns10:25 OU running back competition11:31 New receivers and tight ends13:29 How long should the starters play?14:59 Should John Mateer run less?18:32 Could Mateer become a Heisman finalist?19:32 Oklahoma's rushing-yardage goal21:37 Is OU's defense even better?23:21 The kicking-game advantage23:44 OU vs UTEP point-spread debate25:11 Score predictions26:27 Is Oklahoma playoff or bust?28:00 Jason Witten's impact29:04 The OU-Texas take that got Podfather roasted

In this episode of Mind of Mansion, Matt is joined by Sharp Football expert Rich Hribar (@LordReebs) discuss early-season injuries and suspensions truly worse than usual, or does recency bias skew our draft prep? We break down the macro trends over the last decade before diving into the biggest positional dilemmas, ADP values, and breakout candidates across fantasy football drafts. From elite upside cases like Jahmyr Gibbs to murky backfields featuring Josh Jacobs and Jeremiyah Love, we evaluate risk tolerance, draft architecture (Robust RB vs. Zero RB), and how to value talented backs on questionable offenses like Ashton Jeanty and De'Von Achane. Plus, we explore sleeper wide receivers, target vacancies in Miami and New York, and deliver our favorite late-round tight ends. In this episode, we cover: Injury & Suspension Trends: Historical context on whether attrition is genuinely higher compared to the last 10 years. Running Back Range of Outcomes: What is the absolute ceiling outcome for Jahmyr Gibbs? How to approach Josh Jacobs and Jeremiyah Love. Ashton Jeanty vs. De'Von Achane: Navigating high-volume, dynamic backs on low-tier offenses. The quiet upside of Omarion Hampton and the bull case for Quinshon Judkins. Why fantasy managers are suddenly treating Saquon Barkley as "boring." Draft Architecture Debate: Robust RB vs. Zero RB in current draft lobbies. Wide Receiver Battles & Value Swings: Projecting the Chargers' revamped aerial attack. Jaylen Waddle's outlook and historical comps for wide receivers in transition. Tetairoa McMillan's bull case and evaluating Cam Ward's camp struggles alongside Carnell Tate.

In 2011, Gary Takacs joined my four-week Podcasting A to Z course with an idea for a podcast specifically designed to serve dentists. Gary was certainly not new to his profession at the time. He had started his own dental practice management consulting firm in 1989 after spending the 1980s learning his craft with two larger consulting organizations. His marketing model consisted primarily of writing articles for dental publications and speaking at conferences around the country. Then he discovered podcasting. Gary saw the potential for audio to give him an ongoing way to share useful information with dentists beyond the people who happened to be sitting in the room when he was speaking. That decision changed his business. The Thriving Dentist Show now has more than 760 episodes and has reached dentists in 188 countries. Gary shared that he has published weekly for 748 consecutive weeks without missing a single week. Even more significant is what happened to his business as a result. By 2012, Gary says the number one reason dentists contacted him about his coaching and consulting services was because they listened to his podcast. The podcast also became the number one reason he was invited to speak at conferences. Eventually, those opportunities expanded into an international speaking career. Gary explained that meeting planners could listen to the podcast and essentially "sample" his thinking and communication style before taking the risk of putting him on their stage. What surprised Gary most about podcasting One of my favorite parts of this conversation had nothing to do with downloads, clients, or revenue. Within the first year of producing the show, Gary realized that he would continue podcasting even if nobody listened. Creating the podcast made him a better thinker. It caused him to read more, develop his ideas more deeply, clarify his perspective, and continually work on his own professional development. That is a benefit of podcasting that I believe is often overlooked. Sometimes the person who benefits most from creating the podcast is the person behind the microphone. In this conversation, Gary and I talk about: The first podcast Gary ever listened to and how Podcast Answer Man helped convince him that he could create a show of his own What his consulting business looked like before podcasting existed Why choosing an extremely specific audience can actually create more opportunities rather than fewer Being one of the earliest podcasts specifically serving the dental profession Apple's old "New & Noteworthy" era and the role it played in helping The Thriving Dentist Show gain early exposure Building an international audience that now reaches dentists in 188 countries Why Gary committed to publishing every Wednesday What has allowed him to maintain that consistency for hundreds of consecutive weeks Why Gary says producing the podcast became valuable to him even independent of whether anyone listened How podcasting became a primary source of coaching clients, workshop attendees, and speaking opportunities The unusual intimacy created by audio and the stories Gary has heard from dentists who spent years listening to him during their commutes Why both of us still believe deeply in audio-first podcasting Where video adds value and where Gary believes audio remains the better medium Gary's Less Insurance Dependent Podcast His upcoming Great Minds in Dentistry podcast Why Gary wants Great Minds in Dentistry to highlight people who genuinely love dentistry and inspire others about what is possible in the profession His abundance mindset and why he has actively encouraged other people in dentistry to launch podcasts, even though they could theoretically be considered competitors Why neither Gary nor I believe someone who wants to start an audio podcast in 2026 has "missed the opportunity" Gary told me that he has now watched more than 70 podcasts launch within the dental profession after encouraging others to share their own perspectives. His nickname within that community? The Podfather. And when someone recently asked him whether she was too late to start a podcast, Gary's response captured the spirit of this entire conversation: Jump in. The water's warm. Connect With Gary Takacs The Thriving Dentist Show and Gary's work: https://thrivingdentist.com Email Gary: gary@takacslearningcenter.com Text Gary: 602-321-1778 Gary specifically invited listeners of this episode to reach out by email or text, so if something he shared encouraged or inspired you, I encourage you to let him know. Connect With Me I'd also love to hear what this conversation stirred up for you. If you've been thinking about starting a podcast but have wondered whether you've waited too long, or if this episode reminded you of something you want to create, send me an email: cliff@cliffravenscraft.com I thrive on hearing how the things I create are making an impact in your life. Until next time, I encourage you to take everything you do to the next level.

Discover which redraft and dynasty targets are losing value due to training camp hype, depth chart battles, and injury concerns—and how savvy managers can exploit market overreactions to build a championship roster. Key Topics Covered Market Overreactions: Why draft sentiment shifts rapidly in late-round ADP and high-stakes rooms. Top Falling Players: Deep dive into the running backs, wide receivers, quarterbacks, and tight ends seeing significant draft day drops.

Podcasting 2.0 August 14th 2026 Episode 267 - "Chocolove" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - THE SPOTIFY "SKIP AHEAD" BUTTON — THE BIG ONE What it is: Spotify is testing a button that appears on the playback screen the moment it thinks you'd want to skip — an intro, a sponsorship message, or an entire ad break. It is bigger than everything else on screen. One tap drops you at the end of the break, back in the show. Premium subscribers only, selected markets including US and UK, and only when the app is in the foreground. Who broke it: James Cridland at Pod News, 4 August 2026 — an exclusive. Spotify never announced it. Semafor and most of the trade press picked it up afterwards; Cridland noted on air this week that some of them ran it without credit. The number that makes it different from a skip button: Cridland's arithmetic — skipping a typical ad break by hand is nine presses of the 15-second button, plus a correction tap when you overshoot. Skip Ahead is one. "Some people have said, oh, but you've been able to skip for years and this is no different. But a button that only appears when it's stuff that Spotify thinks you should be skipping is a start." It skips other people's money: the button fires on third-party ads — Acast, Odyssey, the New York Times — and on ads inside Spotify's own shows. It even skipped Search Engine's read for its own paid tier, PJ Vogt pitching Incognito Mode. One half of Spotify sells advertisers reach; the other half hands listeners a button to leave. Spotify's answer, and the trapdoor in it: Spotify told Cridland it is "not affecting ad delivery." True only if delivery means to the device. Cridland: "If ad delivery is to the listener's ear, which is actually what people are paying for..." — the download still counts, the ad still gets billed, the human never hears it. Spotify's other defence: the button merely shows where other listeners already skip. Cridland: "I'm not entirely sold on that, but if that's what Spotify say, I mean they wouldn't lie."

Podcasting 2.0 July 17th 2026 Episode 265 - "Jihobbyist" Slop or Not! Lightning or Frightening! Adam and Dave go deep with the Boardroom after a 2 week break ShowNotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - PODPING GOSSIP-WRITER → PRODUCTION + INDEX PLUMBING ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - THE OPEN INDEX TURNS UP INSIDE AN AI SCRAPER (SUNO) @js flagged it: a hack at Suno reveals the AI music generator used PodcastIndex to do its targeting — "with the help of an online tool called PodcastIndex, Suno identified 420,000 different podcasts that had at least five 30-minute episodes and sought to download roughly 1 million hours of podcasts." Board question: the Index exists to be "free, for any use" — and here "any use" is an AI company bulk-harvesting a million hours to train on. Is that the deal working as designed, or does anything change? A live test of the open-index ethos. Ties straight to the on-device/namespace fight below and to the spam/AI-slop lane — the same extraction pressure from three directions.

Podcasting 2.0 June 19th 2026 Episode 264 - "Podcast Plebicide" ShowNotes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Justin Jackson's post: We Have A Communication Problem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00 - PODPING.ALPHA STABLE + INDEX / PV-ALPHA HYGIENE Milestone: Dave — "I think we can safely say that podping.alpha is stable now. It's been many weeks of 100% uptime." Lead the boardroom with the win. PV-alpha 500s: @mitch + Dave debugging the "get a list of feeds that have updates over the last X" endpoint throwing 500s; @mitch adding a delay between paginated requests in case it's a too-many-requests block. Feed de-listing puzzle: Dave to @ChadF — a feed marked dead with no spam flag; aggregators de-listing it for some other reason. Open question. Iroh 1.0 — Dave flagged it: "Dialing keys instead of IP addresses." p2p networking, boardroom catnip — worth a riff with Dave. Discussion: also surface your own snags — Sovereignfeeds webhook "Unknown Error sending to Server" and ladder.podcastindex.org appearing down (to @StevenB / Dave). Iroh 1.0 Release ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - SPAM + AI-SLOP — TOWARD A "SPAM-COP SCORE" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 - MEASUREMENT: AMP'S 30-SECOND "PLAY," ROUND TWO AMP defined a "play" as 30 seconds; Spotify immediately adopted it. You and Dave already called 30s "bullshit" last week — push total listen time + percent-completed as the real metrics. The walkback: AMP's original press release said "30 seconds of content played… once per user per session" — and quietly DELETED "once per user per session," leaving a woolier definition. James flagged it on-page with the HTML5 del tag. YouTube is in AMP: Google confirmed YouTube "has been participating in the AMP-led conversations" — implies YouTube uses a 30s play. Apple's stance still unknown. RSS.com test (Alberto): moving the DOWNLOAD threshold 60s to 30s changed totals by ~1% — negligible. So 30s for both plays and downloads is just simpler. The HLS gotcha: playing 10s of an HLS video podcast still downloads ~60-72s, so server logs can't tell real play — only player-side instrumentation (Spotify, future Apple) can. James: it's all too "cloak and dagger." Watch July: AMP's implementation doc is due July and the group is light on technical people — needs to be real technical work, "not a sales press release." Understanding podcast stats (PodNews) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03 - BEYOND CPM — INDIE + MISSION-DRIVEN ECONOMICS Losh Moodaley ("Beyond CPM"): the indie middle class (5k-25k downloads = only ~1-1.5% of all podcasts) can't survive on CPMs. Roadmap: audience-as-economy, sell exclusivity not inventory, scale outcomes not audiences, "owners of trust, not renters of attention." Pure V4V-adjacent framing — Sam Sethi tied it straight to TrueFans activity-based value (a share or comment is value, not just dollars) and "creator portals." Easy on-ramp to your worldview. Vox Topica (Richard Fall): full-stack agency for nonprofits/mission-driven orgs — speaks engagement/reach/"depth of message," not downloads. Nonprofits resist AI voices (authenticity) but use AI for scripts/cleanup/show notes; now recommends video to ALL clients.

Podcasting 2.0 June 5th 2026 Episode 262 - "Podcleanse" Dave and Adam are joined by John Spurlock and throw a big idea into the boardroom: The Podcast Data Collective Shownotes ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John Spurlock - Guest The man behind op3.dev and Livewire.io - From the Great State of New Jersey! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - THE IMPRESSION HEIST — AMP TASK FORCE RATIFIES 4 EXPOSURE DEFINITIONS, NO DISSENTING VOTES Podnews press release Jun 4: AMP Task Force Introduces Cross-Platform Alternative to the Podcast "Download" — "unified impression guidance for audio and video, advancing impression-based measurement as the medium's primary transaction currency." Four exposure definitions ratified. JS Jun 4 quote: "the AMP Task Force ratified a new framework with four exposure definitions, with no dissenting votes." Podcast Play: 30 seconds of content played, audio or video, once per user per session. Podcast Audience: The number of unique users who had a Podcast Play. Ad Impression: A commercial begins playing for the user. Ad Audience: The number of users exposed to an Ad Impression. They wanted to 'hasten the demand' Backstory: AMP first emerged May 29 (Podnews) — same day PC20-261 aired — "to confront podcasting's measurement dilemma." @dave reaction Jun 4 16:12: "RE: [Podnews AMP story] More secretive, back room podcast 'industry' nonsense." PNWR Jun 5 confirms the cabal-composition critique — James and Sam open the show debating AMP. James: "they also want to define what an impression is" + "we don't have a definition of podcast." Sam: "I don't think podcasting is [defined], we can measure consumption." PNWR catches the gaps [0:09:00-0:09:30]: "Spotify yes, Acast no, Art19 missing… Apple is already doing that. Apple is already being cut [out]." Same observation @dave made — who's in the room and who isn't. @js replies @dave on AMP Jun 4: "@dave Dave there were no dissenting votes" — Mastodon-thread confirmation that JS + Dave are on the same page about the consensus-by-cabal red flag. Discussion: V4V counter-thesis — No Agenda is value-for-value (no impressions, no exposures). Open standards vs industry cabals. PNWR is independent-podcaster-aligned; AMP is platform-aligned. Podnews AMP Jun 4 press release Podnews AMP origin May 29 @dave Jun 4 reaction post JS Jun 4 quote post PNWR this week (Pod News Weekly Review) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02 - THE OPEN COUNTERPART — PODCAST INDEX ISSUE #775 (PNWR + @DAVE BOTH ON IT) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03 - THE WHY BEHIND IMPRESSIONS — "THE FIRST FOUR AND A HALF MINUTES" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04 - THE PODCASTING 2.0 DATA COLLECTIVE — THE OPEN ANSWER TO AMP The Podcasting 2.0 Data Collective — the open, V4V-aligned answer to the AMP cabal. Not a consortium with ratified definitions and trade-press releases. A collective of open tools and honest sentinels: OP3 for analytics, Podverse + newpodcasts.net for corpus data, Podcast Index for the namespace, Issue #775 for client identification done right. Matthew 5:6 (KJV): "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled." The verse that frames the work. Open data, transparent measurement, value-for-value — righteousness in podcast governance. Those who hunger for it are the ones who'll be filled. The AMP cabal trades righteousness for an ad-tech seat at the table; the Data Collective just keeps the lights on. THE CHARTER — Adam's working document, June 5 2026 We hold more power than we give ourselves credit for. Definition of a Podcast: Syndicated delivery of media files with precise consumption data for all stakeholders. What we brought in (the Podcasting 2.0 namespace contributions): Transcripts Chapters Funding (V4V) Person Location …etc. Statistical relevance: Advertising is based on percentages. Collectively we have about 10% of all apps — statistically enough to be relevant. Godcaster app tracing proves we can measure important metrics. Data to aggregate and display: Follows Plays per episode Completion rate by time Strategy: Become the authoritative source by publishing open stats Monetize We will not be loved initially by the industry, because we will have the truth. Advertisers will love us though, as will Podcasters. Monetization: Data subscriptions Resellers (DJL) Ad Networks Podcasters themselves (consideration) Podcast Index has built the trust needed to house this data. We already have a data exchange relationship with the apps. op3.dev is critical in this equation to offset the old system for correlation. OP3 full podcast support landed this week [PNWR 1:53:00-1:54:30] — OP3.dev now has full episode-level + show-level analytics support for podcasts. Spec work also moving on private feeds (insecure feeds spec). Direct relevance to V4V infrastructure. @dave → @james Jun 5 11:50: "Do you have the daily lists that show up on newpodcasts.net available anywhere as a download? I'd love the full, historical list of feed urls that have appeared there if possible." Open-data request — corpus curation theme. @dave → @mitch May 30: "Would you be able to send me a flat list of all the feed urls in Podverse which have more than X number of subscribers/followers? Let's say more than 5?" Podverse data request — corpus quality. Anchor FM RSS restoration request — Fri 11:01 email to NA inbox (Lusso Lets). Listener can't retrieve feed data from Podcast Index. Adjacent infra beat — the unsung user-facing pain of corpus indexing. Discussion: corpus curation as a steady-state job (Dave's sentinel work) vs measurement standards (the AMP cabal) — which one keeps the ecosystem honest? The Data Collective doesn't ratify, it just shows up to maintain. Hunger and thirst. They shall be filled.
