Talkin' Ish With Chris Heller

Fantasy Football 2018 is upon us. I take a quick look here at some guys I'm not drafting this season, as well as some guys I'm reaching for.    Facebook Instagram Twitter

Last week I went on one of, if not the, best trips of my life. My wife and I were in Nairobi, then on safari for six nights, 3 each at Borana Lodge and Ngare Serian.   This is not a straight recap of the journey but rather a list of takeaways about the experience.    1. GRANDMAS 2. LEARNING 3. GUIDES 4. DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST 5. CONSERVATION 6. NAIROBI 7. SAFETY 8. FART JOKES 9. PARTNER 10. FAMILY TRAVEL 11. MALARIA 12. ANIMALS 13. SOCIAL CONSTRUCT 14. GRUESOME 15. TRAVEL   Special thanks to Safaris Unlimited for helping us plan this thing. 

I think there are a lot of stories on our walls. What we choose to look at everyday and showcase for company says a lot about who we are and what is important to us.  I decided to walk around my house and share all the things that I and my wife have decided to put on our walls.    Instagram Facebook YouTube

Someone put together a 64 "team" field of Kanye tracks, split them into 4 regions, and seeded them 1-16. I had to weigh in.  This was an incredible amount of fun. Yes, I'm 41 with two kids, but still.   Instagram: @chrisheller.me   Twitter: @cheller32   Web: chrisheller.me

Doesn't seem possible, right? Kicked out of the same camp in back to back summers? Well, I make the impossible happen, my friends.    In 1993 I was kicked out for raids. In 1994 it was weed. 25 years later I feel like telling the stories, as I remember them.    http://chrisheller.me/ YouTube

My flight home from LA to NY last week ended up not being my flight home from LA to NY. After handcuffs and cops and an altercation occurred, we were made to deplane, and my family never got back on. I thought it was a good story to tell. Hope you enjoy.    http://chrisheller.me/

It's time for a look at the NFL standings as we head into week 10. This is around the time of year that we know who teams are and can more aptly predict what lies ahead.  We go team-by-team and give quick thoughts and comments on each. Who can we really trust? Which team is ready to step up and win a big game in January?    http://chrisheller.me/   @cheller32

I went back to visit my college alma mater, the University of Michigan, in Ann Arbor. Great to be back there after all of this time but I was left with the question, What is my emotional attachment to that place?  A quick, solo podcast diving into my 24hr trip to Ann Arbor.  Go Blue!!   http://chrisheller.me/   @cheller32      

Eric Newman joins the podcast to talk NBA 2017. A former basketball coach turned content creator, producer, and filmmaker, Eric brings knowledgable insight and experience to the microphone.  We touch on a variety of topics, including the new looks of the Lakers, Celtics, Thunder, and Rockets, the potential derailment of Warriors vs Cavaliers Part IV, AD & Boogie, Rajon Rondo, and much more.  The NBA season is upon us, ladies and gentlemen, time to get involved.    Find Eric on Social Media @coachenew.    Chris Heller http://chrisheller.me/ @cheller32      

I went to see Chance in concert at the new Forest Hills Stadium. He was great. The weather was perfect. Crowd was young. I was old.  Hear all about it.  Get in touch online at chrisheller.me or Twitter @cheller32. 

Every relevant player is mentioned. An efficient and timely way to prepare for your fantasy football draft.  If you want a copy of my tiers, email chris@chrisheller.me. 

Releasing some of the many thoughts in my brain about a Trump victory. 

A look at the season ahead and the lack of quality teams in the NFL this year. Predictions for the divisions and a Super Bowl winner. Also, thoughts about Colin Kaepernick and his protest of the National Anthem. 

When heading into a draft, it is preferable to have players in tiers rather than rankings. In this episode, we walk through our tiers for each position. 

This time it is the NFC that we discuss. As usual, a team-by-team analysis of every relevant Fantasy player. We move fast, so try to keep up.    Any questions, write me on twitter @cheller32. 

A quick run through the AFC conference. We go team-by-team and discuss all relevant players for the upcoming Fantasy Football season. Get your pen and notebook and hang on tight. 

August is upon us so Football is on the mind. We ease into the prep season with a quick list of 22 things I don't care about. 

You've been hearing about this all over the place, and based on the numbers, many of you are already playing. Pokemon Go has become an instant phenomenon. I know nothing about it, or Pokemon proper for that matter, and I wanted to learn a little. My brother Luke is a Pokemon Go player and brings his knowledge of the game and the brand to the podcast.
