A lot of NFL standings discussion, as we try to make sense of the playoff picture in a very strange season.

Then some NBA Emirates Cup talk, trying to strategize for the survivor pool.

Plus, a very extensive Blok'd Shots!

AI editor gone wild. It pretty much used the whole segment talking about the territory purchase as a preview but it cut parts and moved parts. It was quite odd so I just took the first part of the clip and cut the rest.

I wonder when it will start taking similar liberties with the rest of the episode

Podcast Summary: Season 2, Week 13 - NFL Focus with Territory UpdatesPodcast Summary: Season 2, Week 13 - NFL Focus with Territory Updates

Territory News: Hosts announce they've purchased their Stacker News territory outright for 2.5 million Sats (after discounts), eliminating rent payments to "coop." They project ~1.1 million Sats in 2025 revenue, effectively getting the current year free, and highlight the profitability of active territories.

NFL Survivor Pool Update: Six players remain after 12 weeks; no rebuy options left. Many are picking the Chargers vs. Raiders, but hosts express concerns over Raiders' coaching changes, injuries, and potential upset. Three players are still "clean" without losses.

NFL Team Analyses and Playoff Chatter:

  • Raiders: Deep dive on Chip Kelly's alleged incompetence; optimism for new OC Greg Olson, emphasizing RB Ashton Jeanty and QB Geno Smith in a revamped offense. Hosts debate draft strategy (e.g., trade back for OL).
  • Saints/Giants: Timeline mismatches for rebuilding; Saints need multiple QB swings (e.g., Rattler, Haener); Giants better positioned for young talent.
  • Chiefs/Lions: Both preseason favorites now at risk of missing playoffs; tough schedules analyzed (Lions vs. Cowboys/Rams/Vikings/Bears; Chiefs' calls not going their way).
  • Bears/Packers: Bears (9-3) lead NFC North but have +6 point differential; vulnerable to 1-4 finish. Packers inconsistent offensively.
  • Cowboys/Bengals: Cowboys surging back into contention; Bengals need wins over Bills/Ravens to stay alive.
  • Vikings Cross-Off: Officially eliminated from division contention (though technically possible with unlikely scenarios); hosts note QB JJ McCarthy's struggles vs. veterans like Wentz/Darnold.

Other Topics:

  • NBA Cup: New survivor pool starts; quarterfinals require picks from both brackets. Spurs, Knicks, Heat, Magic highlighted; Thunder dominant but face potential asterisk on win streak if they lose the Cup.
  • Fantasy Basketball: Hosts discuss trades (e.g., Markkanen for Castle), player performances (e.g., Jokic, Fox), and IR frustrations.
  • MLB: Blue Jays sign SP Dylan Cease to 7-year/$210M deal to bolster rotation.
  • Community Note: Congrats to "pub" on his new baby boy; Vikings' season dashed early despite high hopes.

Hosts wrap with banter on bad teams (e.g., Wizards, Sabres, Leafs) and tease future discussions. Episode emphasizes NFL chaos and territory excitement.
