Too little, too late? We think not.  This one was a riot, and it represented a dramatic turning point within the league as the competition shifted back to divisional play.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll…cringe awkwardly in a few moments.  Worth the listen, because…

After a brief hiatus, T&R is back on track as we scrutinize ESPN rankings, matchups, and everything in between.  No one is safe from the critical mouthpiece of the great and powerful Pod, and it’s good to be back.

The drama builds as two teams face certain peril, while the podcast curse will surely finally catch up with another (you know who you are).

Injuries and byes have potmarked every line up, and Week 7 promises to be an ugly, bloody battle.

There’s no room for softness, not in the Pellwood League. No place for weakness. Only the hard and strong may call themselves Pellwoodians.

Only the hard.

Only the strong.

With a bloody Week 5 in our rearview, most eyes are looking forward as the Week 6 byes and waiver wire drys (SIC) further ravage an already beat up board of players.

Last week’s surprises were a-plenty, as some managers emerged from their low-point depths to conquer with gusto, while still others folded like lawn chairs.

Week 6 promises only one certainty as King Squish sits on his mighty thrown, quietly pulling the strings as he nobly puppeteers our rankings into order. His wrath will fall upon only one: a lone manager will kneel at 1-5.

A curse is a curse, of course of course,

and no one can shake off a curse of course.

That is, of course, unless the curse is a double neg-a-tive!

Go right to the source and test the curse.

We’ll interview you and endorse

your Week 5 match up, it’s sure to force

a season-ending-in-jur-reeeey!!!

*Takes a bow*

You’re doomed.

The Squish battle rages, but the war has just begun.  Most teams are 1-2. A few are 2-1. And a lone 3-0 victor stands on his 3-week high hill, victorious for the moment, but a target on his back.

The waiver wire abounds in moves.  The trade count is stacking up.  The delicate tension of respectful comradery could break at any moment, likely to dissolve into the angry cesspool of bitter competition we all know and love.

Too little, too late, but certainly likely to be the best episode of the season thus far, we present to you T&R Week 3.  The fellas are joined by current former steamroller and current future president, Charles Gaines, whose on-air disclosures of what is, at best, collusion, and, at worst, a total abuse of the T&R podium offered to him.  You dishonor the microphone, sir!

But I digress.  Put on your hindsight goggles and judge us accordingly as you enjoy this special episode of T&R.

And here we go.

The season is upon us, and with it all of the unexpected twists and turns that can be..uh..expected..in such a competitive and savvy league.

Early front runners seek to hold on to their video game performances.  A few lack-luster scoreboards from week one motivate several managers to recover from their black eyes. The waiver wire heats up, and the trade banter begins.  Plus, the opinions of this podcast’s experts are called into question. It’s everything we know and love in the Pellwood league, plus a little extra.

We came, we saw, and we drafted.  The dust and ash of the draft battlefield (drattlefield?) continues to settle, and the echoing cries of the wounded and bleeding can still be faintly heard as surviving loved ones anxiously search the hellscape for any sign of…

Wow, sorry, that was a darker path of thinking than was probably necessary.

Or was it?

Alright alright alright!  The boys are back in town, and though the airwaves are filled with well-intended (and very entertaining) cheap knockoff imitator wannabes, the real slim shadies are standing on up.

It’s T&R, back for another thrilling season as we kick off the Pellwood 2019 Fantasy Football season.  And, if we may say so ourselves, we hardly discussed the superiority of the auction draft in this episode (though we think it’s pretty safe to say it’s implied…).

New rules rule the day, and pre-season jitters abound.  The countdown is on til the happiest time of the year.

There is perhaps nothing in this world more powerful than a story…a threaded narrative that weaves together people, places, moments, and tensions.

The story of the 2018 Pellwood league has been nothing short of riveting. And this week, we reach the climatic finish.

Brock v Seth. Old school v New school. 0 monitors v Excessive monitors. Gut v Data. The Narrative v The Algorithm. Gents, we couldn’t have asked for more. It. is. time.
