2025/11/13

We skipped week 9 for 1 simple reason, no Bear means no cuts so this stuff can't get published. So, we plow through a couple weeks' worth of stuff in 1 decently quick podcast. We start with the picks and normal stuff and sprinkle in some stories of Bear's trip to Cancun. We tangent a lot, talk alittle about The Witcher new season, how easy it is to get hurt in our elder state, some news about Antonio Brown and Jamal Anderson and then we move into actual NFL stuff with injuries and

OatB Ep. 201 - WK 8 - We See the Future

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/10/29

OK, so we may not be able to see the future but we take a whack at it. We give our boom, bust, sleepers and then we go over who we think is going to be the top 5 players for the rest of the year at their positions. Each guy takes a position and rattles them off and most give decent insight as to why they feel the way they do. We're all back together which is nice to see and we have a good time talking our favorite thing and that's fantasy football.YouTube Link: OatB Ep . 201 - WK 7 - We See

OatB Ep. 200 - WK 7 - Ryan does Homework

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/10/24

This was the opposite of last week when Bear and Grim ran the podcast, this one was done by the other 3 slackers who weren't there as Bear and Grim had work engagement to attend to. The boys chat about the FBFL and actually give Rob Barber a bunch of credit, so you could tell Bear wasn't thereto break that up. Then they go through the normal predictions and talk just football in general. The guys help Opi decide on a kicker and then he does the opposite and it may have actually worked. Then

Right off the bat we just start ripping Opi, and rightfully sosince this week is just Grim and I as all the other putzes had to bail. Bear and Grim have a great time, keep it lively, and continue to shit on Opi so if you're a fan of Opi getting ripped on, this one is for you! We spend some FBFL time, but we spend a lot of time just chatting about the NFL. Bear does go off on the Brewers at the beginning to get that off his chest, it was definitely bothering him. For a 2-person podcast, these

We go off the rails right at the beginning, but it's a fun talkabout the butt biting announcer. Opi gives us some of the absolute WORST lead-ins this week. We do our pick stuff and spend a lot of time talking about the decisions of why we like or dislike them. Ryan gives you instructions on how to use his picks properly. We chat NFL trades, FBFL trades, lack of trading in one of the FBFL leagues, NFL teams, FBFL teams, it's just a plethora of football enjoyment. Plus, this weeks highlighted

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/09/26

Everyone is on their own this week! Well, not everyone. Bear has to make up for Grim & AJ who didn't have time to record so between school, working 40 hours in 3 days, bags league, and his wife's birthday, Bear made up for those who "didn't have time". Yes, Bear also writes these up so he can also do the bitching. This bad boy is cut, cut, cut but we wanted to get something out there so we didn't skip a week. Opi intros, we go right into our Boom, Bust, Sleeper, &

It's a short staff so we're also shortening up the name sonothing is as long as it used to be! We go through the normal Boom, Bust, Sleepers and of course our NFL picks of the week. Bear explains why Opi & AJ are missing for the week and then we just talk fantasy football. We go over RBs and whether or not they are going to stay in the top 10, get to the top 10, or in some cases, be out of the top 20. We also chat about some possible free agents to pick up in our league and maybe

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/09/11

We changed our format and started this with Opi on his soapbox, then hit the boom, bust, sleeper, and NFL so then we can just talk fantasy football and get less structured. TheBears were a topic for us a couple times and we go over all groups favorite teams with the Seahawks & Steelers. We do a round table discussion and Bear nicknames all the guys with a "Sir" in front, it was off the cuff so interesting discussion. We have a GREAT clip on YouTube from our golf trip with our buddy,

2025/09/05

This one is long, and we're trying to cut things down but we go over both leagues draft and if you aren't part of the league, no worries because we really spend a lot of time just talking about how we like a lot of these players and how we feel they'll do this year. We also bring back the boom, bust and sleeper players and some NFL picks but we skip the FBFL teams picks. There's a lot of back and forth in this one with the guys really digging into teams with both shitting on and

Opi & the Bear ·

2025/08/27

We do a live draft and talk shit to each other as we make our picks. You get to view the actual draft online and listen to us yell at each other as we snipe each other. Kayla comes in late and takes the podcast over with her 12 kids and odd picks. It gets a little loud in a couple spots because of those psychos, sorry about that. Bear pisses podcase friend Kipp off and he not only bails on the podcast but on the draft and goes to auto pick. The league ends up pretty competitive at the end with

Football - football - football!! That's what we talk about!!

Smelling salts are now illegal, Shedeur is moving up the depth chart quickly, Cleveland QB room, some injury and contract dispute discussions, and then after all that chat, we hammer the Distillery Conference Protection Predictions and this is the first half of the discussion with the 2nd half coming out next week.

Hi…we are still alive!! We come back very loosie goosy and just have a good time. We talk a little MLB, golf, NFL, and our rotisserie draft. Bear goes off on gutless Jed (Hoyer) while Opi gives praises to the White Sox and their moves. We spend some time giving Grim and his Steeler fans shit about Rodgers but have a fun time with it, nothing gregarious. Then we chat about the Bears and the hope that most of us no longer have.

The 2nd part of episode 187 and it's a little different but very light hearted and was a lot of fun. We spend most of the time talking turkey, literally, as we go into a big section speaking of the local cuisine here in the QC and what we like and don't like. It transcends into us putting the pictures of the food from the restaurants on the screen and chatting about them at length. Maybe it's not your cup of tea, maybe it is, but changing up a little and getting away from the world of

Oops dude…sorry Opi. We really open this just trashing the guy, after that, it's really just all over the place and we throw sports in there. AJ, Kipp, & Bear chat for a while. We rip open some baseball cards and go through them. Doesn't take long and we got some good cards. Then we just ramble about things. We talk about the guys jobs, Kipp's Only Fans, some baseball, NFL draft day, and then Ryan shows up and the gummies kick in and we do get off the rails a little. We do get our
