You have been weighed, and you have been measured.  Most of you have been found wanting.

It’s the much-anticipated draft grade.  Friendships will be strained, reputations tarnished, and your quantitative contribution to society reduced to a single letter, just in time for the NFL Kickoff (because who cares about Thursday Night Football?).

Editor’s Note:  T&R is committed to producing content that is both valuable and timely.  This week’s episode, recorded on Wednesday night, missed its production deadline of Thursday 7pm.  This is outside of our internal expectations at T&R, and we apologize to the many fans who were left waiting for the highest anticipated episode of the year.  In order to assure no future dips in our commitment to quality, the employee responsible for this delay has been reprimanded and placed on a growth plan with greater expectation and accountability.

It’s (almost) the episode you’ve all been waiting for! In an unprecedented move that will likely cause uproar and riot, the T&R boys present to you the Draft Report across two episodes.

In part 1, the big picture of the draft is discussed as we dissect manager tactic, moves, and blood alcohol levels on the biggest day of the year.

Though Part 2 will bring the highly anticipated “draft grades”, to appease the masses, the boys delve out manager awards that are both highly accurate and highly improvised. The are not, however, highly flattering.

Except for Charles’.

Alright, alright, alright…it’s almost too good to be true.  Yet, it is equally good as it is true.

That’s right, the 2018 Draft is upon us.  T&R welcomes you to a brand new season as we celebrate 11 years of the league.  In this episode, we salute a departing league member and welcome a new one as we talk shop, draft, keepers, and more.

The stakes have never been higher. Nor the pressure, greater. The expectation, tantamount.  The tension, tactile.  And of course: the draft, auction.

Gentlemen, that’s why they call them “business socks”.

Gird thy loins, batten down thy hatches. Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme.  Get up now, it’s drafting time.

Better late than never, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.  The remaining four managers are vying for the championship, each with…shall we say…varying degrees of confidence.

This week on T&R features all four managers as tensions are high and the stakes are higher.  Delivered to you raw and uncut, this episode highlights the guttural, primitive existence that only the Playoff season can yield.  Also featured in this uncut episode, some moron chomping on potato chips literally the entire broadcast.

After a tumultuous final week of the season, the dust has hardly settled as we enter the 2017 Playoffs.  This, gentlemen, is it.

To those of you who have fallen, we salute you.  And by “we”, I mean those of us who still have a semblance of a soul.  So…none of us, I guess.

To those about to die, we salute you.  And by “we”, I mean those of us who are about to crush you.  And by “solute”, I mean “crush”.

Yep, it’s the playoffs.  Every man for himself.

Until the taping of this episode (more specifically, until halfway through the taping of this episode), Week 13 of the Pellwood league was set to be predictable, if not a little sleepy and quiet.  Chatter would be minimal, as most matchups would not impact the playoff bracket.

Everything would change.  Everything has changed.

It’s Week 12, and the pressure is mounting as the playoff picture is anything but set.  In fact, Week 12 has the potential to practically make or break the playoff chances of nearly half the league.

Tensions are high as predictions run rampant.  In this episode, Pete and Seth throw enough prophetic spaghetti on the wall that some of it is bound to stick.

But no one could have predicted this race down the stretch.  No one, perhaps, excepting the inventors of Squish Factor™ themselves.

Alright alright alright….the boys are back in town as we prepare for the league’s 10th Anniversary Season!  It’s back to the grindstone as research, spreadsheets, keepers, and auction values dominate our waking hours (and most of our sleeping hours too).

Join Pete and Seth as they kickoff the pre-draft with a walk down memory lane and a few introductory thoughts ahead of the 2017 season.
