Why you shouldn't be afraid to draft Christian McCaffrey

I do just want to give you the floor to implore people why they should take Christian McCaffrey.
Because I, I know that in our bubble, Dale, like we know how good he is and how impactful a player he is, but there's gonna be a section of people watching this show right now or listening to this podcast and saying, I'm never taking this guy again after what happened last year.
Tell the people like you think that is a mistake.
He's the only running back who has had 2.
1+ points per game in multiple seasons, the last three years, not even Saquon Barkley accomplished that.
And as we saw last year, even when he returned and was not at full strength, he outtouched Jordan Mason 42 to 3 in those games.
They are not going to use anyone else and it's a conversation like we had with Will Fuller whenever he was still at the tail end of his prime, when people are more scared of the injury.
But you shouldn't be asking that.
You should be asking when you're not injured, can you win me your my league?
And Christian McCaffrey literally breaks fantasy football as the RB one when he's healthy.
And now you can get that guy at the back of the first round solely for recency bias.
So, I am back in one more time with Christian McCaffrey as a hero, anchor RB build, and then that first 2nd round turn is where you can then take someone like Nico Collins, I know, I listen to Matt Harmon shows.
I know Nico Collins is a personal favorite of both of ours, but Malik Neighbors is some time there as well, as we talked about earlier, Drake London is someone who should be going higher, someone I'm very high on as someone who could break out as a potential wide receiver one.
So you can go RB wide receiver to start, and then come back around and see who's left over.
But Christian McCaffrey, if you're in the back end, I think you should just be building your entire lineup around him.

Pivetta's dominant outing and Merrill's clutch hit propel Padres to sixth straight win
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Nick Pivetta gave up one hit and one run in seven innings, Jackson Merrill drove in two runs, and the San Diego Padres won their sixth game in a row, 4-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night. Pivetta (11-3) struck out five and did not give up a walk. His only blemish was a solo homer by Willson Contreras in the fifth that gave the Cardinals a 1-0 lead. San Diego answered with four runs in the bottom of the fifth in large part to two errors that led to three unearned runs. With Jake Cronenworth at first and one out, Jose Iglesias hit a slow grounder to third baseman Nolan Gorman, whose wide throw hit first baseman Contreras' glove and rolled away. Cronenworth went to third and scored when Contreras' throw to Gorman skipped away. Elias Díaz singled in Iglesias and four batters later, Merrill hit a two-out single up the middle against Matt Svanson. Robert Suarez notched his major league-best 31st save with a scoreless ninth. Cardinals starter Matthew Liberatore (6-9) pitched 4 1/3 innings, giving up four hits and four runs (one earned). Key moment Padres reliever Mason Miller, acquired at the trade deadline on Thursday from the Athletics, trotted in from the bullpen in the eighth inning to roaring applause from the soldout Petco Park crowd for his first appearance with San Diego. Miller got Yohel Pozo to ground into a double play with one out and runners at the corners to get out of the inning unscathed. Key stat The Cardinals have lost five of their last six games. In those five loses, St. Louis has scored a combined four runs. Up next The Cardinals' RHP Michael McGreevy (2-2, 4.91 ERA) takes the hill in game two of the series Saturday night versus Padres' RHP Randy Vásquez (3-4, 3.65). ___ AP MLB: Richard J.

Ice hockey fans, players excited for World Juniors tournament coming to Minnesota
Minnesota hockey fans get an extra gift this holiday season. The World Juniors is coming to the state of hockey. "Like no other," described defenseman Logan Hensler. "Happens once a year. It's always on TV. People are always watching, talking about it. There's a ton of attention to it. It's a pretty cool experience." Hensler has been there before. The defenseman from Woodbury took gold last January. Now, he's trying to repeat as a large, talented group tangle for a roster spot on Team USA. "Your compete, your discipline. All around play. You get pushed every day by these guys," said Hensler. "It's just important you keep up and keep going. Push through." Hensler's last few months have been his most accomplished in hockey. He won the most recent World Juniors gold and was then selected 23rd overall by the Ottawa Senators in the NHL draft in June. "Dream come true," remembered Hensler. "Got there, it was a great experience. The moment I got picked was kind of a blur. Kind of a blackout moment. Really special. Great organization. Just happy my family was there to witness it." Hensler, the top Minnesotan selected in 2025, will be a sophomore with the Badgers this winter. But it might not be long before he trades red and white for Ottawa's colors. "This next coming year I'm going back to Wisconsin," said Hensler. "A big thing for me is taking it year by year. Just gonna take this year, see how it goes. See how I grow as a player. I think it'll be a lot of growing. So it'll be fun." Note: The above video first aired on Jan. 5, 2025.
