    Fantasy Football Face-Off: Giants, Jettas & Couch Wars

    In this episode of Living Room Rivalry, Stacy and Riley kick back on the couch and dive headfirst into NFL fantasy football fever. From bold Giants optimism (and some masochistic fandom confessions) to Vikings quarterback debates, they spar over stats, schedules, and season surprises.  The duo goes position-by-position in their fantasy matchup—Baker vs. Hurts, Bijan vs. Bucky, Jettas vs. AJ Brown—and argue passionately about wide receivers, defenses, and which picks were pure genius (or pure delusion). Along the way, they tackle name mispronunciations, trash talk Jamar Chase hype, and reveal just how far they’ll go to avoid cheering for the Cowboys.  It’s fantasy football, family banter, and fan energy all rolled into one lively showdown.
