NFL draft previews.’ Well, I got the running back position for Marcus Lattimore of South Carolina.” “Russell Wilson, I didn’t buy into him for a year. I will tell you very little has changed in my opinion. He does a lot of things wrong. Like, a lot.” “Dak Prescott. Wasn’t a heavily recruited guy, was not sought-after in his class. I thought he was a starter in a national football league.”

Bob Harris joins Jeff Mans on this week’s podcast to discuss how he got started in fantasy football. It wasn’t an easy road. He was living with his grandmother at 38 to try and make this work. No one really believed in him and he started becoming that crazy guy with deluded dreams. Bob believes the reason why this all worked out for him was that he was just too stupid to quit. He also shares his weight-loss journey and why he decided to make a change for the better and improve his health. Key Takeaways: [2:15] Has Bob ever been in quarantine before?

[1:03:25] Sometimes, all you have to do is put in 1 minute of exercise. It starts with small steps. You can’t go from 0 to 100 overnight. [1:04:50] Create a process and always make it better, just one day at a time. [1:05:55] It’s not hard, it’s just persistence. [1:08:00] There are a lot of great people who just get discouraged way too easily. [1:11:35] Things are moving really fast, currently.

Jeff Mans has Ray Flowers on the show to give his insight on how cut-throat this business can really be. Ray’s been in this business full-time for 19 years and knows that getting started and getting serious with fantasy sports is tough when you have a full-time job or other things on your plate. A lot of fantasy sports companies are closing down right now or doing massive layoffs and that’s because they’re just hobbyists who never took this seriously in the first place. If you want good guys to bleed with you when you lose and celebrate with you when you win, then you gotta look for the real guys that are 100% committed to this like Jeff and Ray. Key Takeaways: [2:15] Jeff is itching for a sports fix and it seems ESPN and all those guys don’t even know what they’re even doing. [4:50] Sports is an escape for everyone and even if there is nothing on, it’s not going to stop Jeff and Ray from talking about it. [10:30] This is Ray’s 19th year doing this full-time. Everyone is shutting their doors because they’re hobbyists that don’t take this seriously. [14:00] When did Ray first learn about fantasy sports? [17:00] When did Ray realize he could actually make a living in this industry? [22:25] Ray’s first full-time job in this industry, he made $28,800 a year. [26:15] People shouldn’t be jealous or want to punish the business owner for taking on the risk and being successful. America needs businesses and the people who create them. [27:00] One of the worst things to happen to this industry was the way it got started. [33:00] A lot of fantasy companies are shutting down because of this virus thing. [40:05] People will pay for good work. [42:10] What sets Elite Fantasy and Fantasy Guru apart from all the others is the dedication to delivering good and valuable content to the users. [45:55] The most important people are your followers and your fans. Take care of those people. [53:00] There are people in this industry that will shield their picks from paying customers. What kind of logic is that! [53:55] Jeff and Ray’s job is to make you win. That’s their job! [57:00] People give Jeff’s wife crap because she’s a stay-at-home-mom now, but they don’t see the part when she was with Jeff when he wasn’t a provider and making zero money. In a partnership, you help each other and you make sacrifices. [1:09:50] How did Jeff first meet Ray? [1:19:00] Why did Ray decide to take the leap and work with Jeff? [1:24:20] Like this podcast?

A lot of the time, you get what you pay for.” “If you’re a customer of ours, you’re getting 100% of me and Jeff. Period.”

In an emotional unveiling, Jeff Mans discusses for the first time publicly the story of his Father who grew up as an Illinois Farmer, went to war for his country, battled depression, alcoholism and cancer in what became a most inspiring life story. It’s a story of family, a story of courage and a story of life. If you want to understand Mans, hear the true story of what inspires him. Jeff’s old man is his hero, but it took a long time for him to be that way. Jeff was the youngest of five children and everybody hated his dad. Jeff’s dad was an alcoholic, had no relationship with his wife, and was abusive to Jeff’s disabled brother. His dad was a Korean War vet, but he turned a corner when he had cancer in 1991 and he repaired the relationship he had with his wife, his kids, and his siblings. For that, Jeff is very grateful for being able to see the man he truly was. Key Takeaways: [3:10] Despite being in quarantine, Jeff is still working full time. [5:20] You guys have been asking Jeff a lot about his youth. [5:45] What motivates Jeff? His old man. [8:55] Jeff has been finding creative ways to spend time with the family without leaving the house. [10:25] Go get the Strat-O-Matic board game today. [12:30] A little bit of back story about Jeff’s dad. [15:00] Jeff’s old man and his siblings grew up so poor that they didn’t even celebrate Christmas or birthdays (and neither did Jeff). [16:55] His dad served in the Korean war and he had some gruesome stories to share with Jeff. [20:00] It was obvious Jeff was a mistake. Jeff’s youngest sister is 13 years older than him. [23:00] His old man’s alcoholism was so bad and he was abusive when Jeff was growing up. [24:00] Jeff’s dad is still his hero. [28:30] Jeff was becoming a bad kid before his older brother moved his family away from all of that. Crime gangs were recruiting kids as young as 11 years old. [29:25] Jeff had no relationship with his dad. [34:25] Everything changed in 1991 when his dad got diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. [38:55] It changed the man completely. He became Jeff’s best friend. [43:05] The whole family was bonding again and his dad was able to tell happier memories of his childhood. [43:15] Then the cancer came back. [46:55] His dad always told him to pursue a career or a job that made him happy. Do something you want to do, not because you have to. [50:40] His dad became an alcoholic because he never could give his parents and his family a good life. [55:15] Jeff's dad died on November 4th, 1999. [1:00:30] When he passed, there was a line trying to get into the funeral home. [1:03:10] We all die, but our legacy will live on. [1:07:20] Jeff still writes letters to his dad. [1:10:55] Whatever is happening in your life, you’re better than it and you will fight through it. Resource: Elitefantasy.com Fantasyguru.com Elitesportsbetting.com Promo code: Radio20. Jeff on Twitter Strat-o-matic.com Quotes: “Every one of us battled from a crap show to make something of our lives and we’re still going today.

Do something about it!” “The box of drywall screws is bigger than any trophy or anything I have in my life.”

They’ve been friends, co-workers, business owners and the most recognizable duo in fantasy sports radio for 25+ years. Now you get to hear the stories of how they met, why they decided to work with each other and what it is like co-hosting with a polar opposite. From the early days of Ted’s backyard parties to the stories of Jeff almost dying, you must hear the true uncensored story of how Mans met Schuster. Ted Schuster has been Jeff’s childhood friend for over 25 years. They have grown up together, they’ve experienced a lot of hardship together, and they’re even in business together. Jeff first met Ted at Walmart, back when they were getting paid $7 bucks an hour! Ted and Jeff talk about when they both knew this friendship was the real thing and take a trip down memory lane. Key Takeaways: [1:25] What is happening to Tommy G? [4:00] When things fall apart, you end up seeing everyone’s true colors. [4:45] How is Ted dealing with the coronavirus? [8:15] There’s going to be way more crime and broken homes because of this virus. [10:25] Ted’s mom had it rough and he learned how to survive from the chaos going around in his house. [11:15] Fair doesn’t exist in life or even in nature. [11:40] Where did Ted grow up? [15:50] How did Ted get into sports? [18:00] Ted as a teenager… well, he got arrested. [21:55] What was Ted’s first impression of Jeff? [28:00] Ted throws a rager and his mom would help. [33:25] Jeff’s mom was also depressed and would try to commit suicide. [35:00] Both Jeff’s dad and Ted’s mom both died around the same time and that experience brought them closer together. [39:05] Jeff doesn’t like children's sports. [42:35] Ted used to date this crazy chick at Walmart. She ended up telling a couple of guys that Ted was abusive and Jeff went ballistic. [49:00] Jeff’s appendix had burst and not knowing any better, he went to play basketball with Ted. [53:50] Walmart paid well and Jeff and Ted were the wealthiest kids for their age. [57:50] Jeff gets married first out of their friend group, and then Ted second. Jeff had a kid, but Ted was still throwing ragers! [1:04:30] How did Jeff and Ted get into fantasy sports? [1:11:05] Because Jeff and Ted have known each other for so long, they have chemistry on the air that just can’t be replaced. [1:16:25] Jeff and Ted worked a long time before they saw any money come out of fantasy sports betting. [1:18:25] There’s no way Jeff and Ted would be friends if they had to live together. [1:21:10] What’s next? Ted wants sports to come back. Resource: Elitefantasy.com Fantasyguru.com Elitesportsbetting.com Promo code: Radio20.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Jeff starts out with a story from his childhood growing up with Irish immigrant Parents and Grandparents. A fire is lit as Mans takes on the social media trolls who like to claim that isolated posts “didn’t age well” and are simply looking to discredit people for out of context posts. There is also a full recap of NFL Free Agency day two including Tom Brady’s announcement that he is leaving New England. Twitter has been blowing up Jeff’s feed telling him some of his tweets don’t age well because he made some bad picks. So what? Jeff comments on every single player, every single sports league, and every single team. You think he’s got a crystal ball and will predict everything with 100% accuracy? Jeff doesn’t delete his tweets and he doesn’t care if he gets it wrong from time to time. Now with that being said, let’s take a look at the latest NFL Free Agency picks. Key Takeaways: [1:40] Happy St. Patrick's day. [5:00] Jeff is 100% Irish and his grandmother hated the family so much that Jeff and his siblings were not allowed in the house. [11:00] Tom Brady is leaving the Patriots. Jeff doesn’t mind making mistakes. Let’s just have fun with this. [18:30] Remember the facts change. Jeff’s Twitter’s aren’t going in the Smithsonian. Jeff’s tweets aren’t supposed to be ‘evergreen.’ [25:45] If you’re 100% honest with yourself and who you are, then no one can ever expose you. [26:45] Stop holding onto being perfect all the time. [27:50] People are so uncomfortable in their own skin that they’re willing to go under the knife and die from it just to look and be someone different. [29:50] So, Tom Brady. Who is going to replace him? [32:05] Watch out for Nyheim Hines. Good things are coming his way from a fantasy standpoint. [32:50] Bryan Bulaga for the LA Chargers is a great move. [35:55] Minnesota Vikings are playing Russian roulette with Adam Thielen. [36:20] Buffalo Bills let a lot of key players slip through their hands. [39:45] Tennessee Titans got Vic Beasley. Good move on their side on this one. [41:40] Jeff hates the deal that was made between Robert Quinn with the Chicago Bears.

I’m not running from crap.” “They’re going to find out who you are, so you’re better off being honest and upfront always. That way you’re never going to be exposed.”
