Amin just asked me the question, and I don't know the answer, is there any man on television who it takes longer to get dressed in the morning than Cam Newton? Anybody in sports history of television, because he's looking at the number of layers that Cam Newton is wearing right now. It's vest, its bow tie, its shirt, its jacket. It's clearly not Adnan Verk. Adnan Verk would not qualify. as the person, it takes the longest amount of time in the morning to get dressed. But I don't have a better nominee. Barry Melrose. Cam Newton. It's a good.

Barry wears a suit, slicks his hair back. He's got, like, a vest. That's a layered suit that he's got on there. That's nothing near Cam Newton. He sticks his hand in any body of water. Toilet sink, whatever, just gets his hand and slicks it back. Real good. Put it on the poll.

Does Barry Melrose? No, don't stop. What? He's sick, guys. He's sick. I've been over here like, hey, let's stop. No one's taking a cue. You can't make f***, maybe.

He still slicks his hair back, my fault. I didn't know that. That's nothing to do with his disease. Adnan Verk is with us now, and he's got a hat on. The bill is a little ragged. He is celebrating the Toronto Blue Jays in a way that is clearly and obviously biased. It's the worst bill I've ever seen on a hat. It's a bad bill.

It's beaten up. It's an old hat. 200 bucks? It looks a little too comfortable. He's the host of MLB Tonight, Amazon Prime, Monday Night. You can listen and subscribe to his NHL unscripted with Verk and Demers on IHeart

and his book, Sinophile, interviews, essays, and tales from the red carpet is available now. That's his real passion. He pretends to care about sports. It's movies that he cares about the most. Max Scher last night had the best old guy performance of the evening. I don't

know how he did that, Edna. Thank you for joining us. He's been terrible for a while. He's 41 years old and he's the original 100 mile an hour thrower and he's out there farting 94 miles an hour and he's a dinosaur and he scared his manager and yelled at him and Schneider ran back to the dugout and said afterward yes I was scared I shouldn't have been out there I was only there for a couple of seconds I shouldn't have been out there horrifying no no but it it was totally crazy all of it I've not seen the way that managers usually represent is I'm in charge that guy ran back to

the dugout because he looked deep into both of Max Scherzer's different colored eyes and he was haunted and he just ran back to the dugout. In terms of impressive, willful things you've seen in baseball and then Max Scherzer going back and getting back some Mad Max to save

Toronto's season and beat Toronto's ace. How impressive does that one rank? Old guy performance, willful performance. Dan, it was remarkable because if you go by the numbers, Luis Castillo had a 0.70 ERA and his last six starts going into this game. So for the Mariners, you see, all right, Luis Castillo is going to shove. He's going to be brilliant. And for Scherz, as you mentioned,

he's been tired for a while. He hit an 8.79 ERA. His last four postseason starts, going back to 2002. As far as recent vintage, his last starts in the month of September, had an ERA over 10. And in the first inning, an ERA of 12.64. There's no reason Max Scherzer should pitch like he did last night. And yet he was throwing his fastest fastball in a year and a half. And he did so with a curveball, which he basically invented later in his career. He threw 10 curve balls all for strikes, and four of his five strikeouts came on that very same curveball. But all that gets obscured by, as you mentioned, that wonderful tete-a-tete with John Schneider. Now, when Schneider runs to the man like that, as Buck Martinez and Dan Schulman said,

that's him basically going to check on his pitcher just to say, are you good? Well, Max clearly was furious and yelled, I'm good, let's go. And John Schneider scurried back to the dugout, terrified to do anything else. Max Scherzer, I don't think, Dan, it would have been hysterical if Brandy and Rosarina had then taken him deep, but thankfully Scherzer gets out of it. And then I said, they can't take him out in the next inning. Everyone's scared to take him out.

He starts a sixth inning, gets a couple out. This time, John Schneider, quickly motions to his left arm, allows nothing to be said. But 87 pitches, as you said, a willful performance at 41 years of age. That was Max Scherzer's 500th start, regular season and postseason. He's thrown over 50,000 pitches in baseball, and he gets his first win since the 2019 World Series. Remarkable.

And as you said, it saved the season. The Jays lose that. They're down 3-1. They're probably cooked. Now it's a best of three. Toronto's got a home field. Can you explain, though? You just said 2002 you went back to.

He's been good before 2002. What was the stat you just gave us from 2002? I apologize. His postseason is 8.79 ERA, his last four postseason starts going back to 2022. We left that one. Okay. I was like, what are you talking about?

That doesn't sound like a good pitcher. It's been 20 years. Okay, but it has been three years since Dinosaur Scher had a fastball that scared anybody. And he's the first pitcher ever to pitch for six different teams in the postseason, which is both a nod to his longevity and the fact he hasn't stayed in one place for too long. Like, Max is a hired gun.

Wherever he goes, he's looking to bolster his reputation. Again, he's a Hall of Famer. all know that, but he has not pitched like this period. Think about this, Dan. He hadn't pitched in September 24th. He wasn't on the roster for the division series. Toronto could have lost against the Yankees and Max Scher would not have seen the mound. And yet in their most pivotal start of the season, the first time the Js are in the CS for the first time in nine years, they turned to this 41-year-old grizzled veteran and he shoved. He was brilliant. Two runs in five and two-thirds of Max Scherzer at this day and age. It could be the last start of his career. Incredible.

Adnan, does his hat hold any sentimental value? I hate this hat. I feel like he bought it worn. Like, it's not like I've had this hat. Right before the segment started, I saw him do the move of like totally scrunching it up. I'm like, oh. That hat sucks. Now, Mike and Chris, you're absolutely right.

It's my eldest son, Yusuf's hat. So Mike is right about the nostalgic value. He's now 17. He's had this hat forever. And I said, rather than I know, it still sucks. I'm like, that's fine. I wanted to know like what kind of nostalgia we were dealing with. Now that you've said that,

Pat sucks. Barry Melrose territory. Is this an acceptable thing? Pat sucks a dirty one. It's not my best hat. The brim is brutal. You guys are absolutely right about that. It's a sad excuse for a hat.

There's no question about it. But the Js are not a sad excuse for an organization at least. One of the things that I enjoy about the baseball lexicon is when new verbiage gets thrown in. You just said he shoved, which I assume is short for. he shoved the baseball up there like and you guys now use this in baseball everyone says he shoved instead of saying the rest of the phrase it is what it means correct when did that become okay in baseball for announcers to just be on the broadcast and saying hey he shoved that baseball right up their ass we'd have to check with our buddy booksha i'll be damn but i'm going to say within the last seven to eight years i've heard that more become a part of baseball parlance what you're looking for tonight i think he's going to shove another expression I only ever hear in baseball, I never hear it anywhere else is the game got banged. Like, you know, my son's a Lilley game, no one says the game got banged tonight. But in baseball, if there's a rainout, they just said the game got banged.

And everyone understands what that means. So in basketball, there's a famous thing, it only takes one, right? When it means, oh, who's going to, how the hell is he going to fall that long in the draft? Or who's going to draft him or who's going to sign that guy to that deal? And then it's saying is it only takes one, meaning it only takes one team or one general manager to do it. But that's not the full saying. The full saying is it only takes one asshole. But they clean it up to it only takes one.

I didn't realize that shoved had been around for eight years. Did you know that, Tony? Were you aware? It's like a dealt kind of situation. Like he's dealing right now. He dealt. He shoved. The hat, are you a Blue Jay's fan?

Is your son a Blue Jay's fan? Are you, do you, what's the emotional investment in one of the better Blue Jay teams that we've seen in a long time? When I do believe that baseball and this country, are rooting for the Mariners to be the team that represents the American League against the Dodgers. Yeah, as you guys have said in the show, Dan, it's the U.S. versus the world. I understand this is a pro-meritor's contingent here on the show. But, you know, for the Blue Jays, I was just back home for, as we call it, Canadian Thanksgiving. And I got to tell you, I was there working for Amazon.

You mentioned the Monday Night Hockey. I did the Leafs Red Wings game, which they moved the game up for baseball. Think about that. This is Canada. Everyone says religion is hockey. You know, no, baseball is running things right now. They moved the Leafs game to 2 o'clock Eastern Red Wings League so everyone can watch the Blue Jays game of 5, which I was able to do with John Morosi and others. And the appetite for this team to win again, it's been a long time, Dan, since 1993, as you know, when those Blue Jays teams went back to back, they were the kings of the baseball world.

They were the ones acquiring Dave Winfield or David Cohn or Paul Malder, all these hired hands to go along with the nucleus of Roberto Alamar and Devon White and John Ulrud. So it's been a long time since the Jays have been the envy of the baseball world. Everyone knows if they get there, they'd be the underdog against the Dodgers. But the ratings-wise, you know, I was looking at numbers. Canada is a country of 35 million. They're getting numbers of 7 million. For example, that's NFL numbers. Like 30 million Canadians are watching if you extrapolate it in terms of the U.S. audience to Canadian audience.

So there's a rabbit appetite right now for the Blue Jays. I think people would love to see this team go deep north of the border. And even I think in this country, they realize what an exciting team this is. Dan, let's talk a little bit about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. What he's doing is unbelievable. This is a superstar whose 14-year, $500 million contract kicks in next season. And I say this to you as a long-time, lifelong baseball fan. What's more impressive?

Five home runs this postseason are only one strikeout. As you know, Reggie Jackson hit a lot of home runs. He also struck out a ton. That's what you get with power hitters, not with Vlad. Five homers hit only 1K. That is remarkable bat-to-ball skills. He also has this plate discipline that his father did not have as a great bad ball hit. hitter, he's better than his father. Is he not? And that's an impossible thing to say. His father's a

Hall of Famer. Yeah, I mean, his father was incredible. As you said, the bad ball hitter at a different body than Vlad, obviously he was tall and lean and kind of flailing all over the place. But I think what Vlad Jr. is able to do the way he punishes this baseball, if you look at eggs and feel in the sport, virtually no one aside from Aaron Judge hits the ball harder than Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Even if it's not always home runs, it's hard contact every single time. And to have that kind of discipline. It's amazing. Thank God the Jays locked him up for the next 14 years. You mentioned, though, Canada and Canadian Pride and how many people are watching this baseball team. I'm not sure that the audience really understands that Canada doesn't beat America

at sports. Like, the Blue Jays are the only thing that beats America at sports, and it was a long ass time ago. Canada loses. The Raptors are a word. Okay, but I'm saying when it comes to, when it comes to generational allegiances, and who's the team that my parents are going to pass down? It's going to be the Blue Jays of Cidogastin because Canada never gets to be better than American sports. Fine, you chose the outlier, but the Blue Jays matter to Canada because the Blue Jays have made Canada feel like a winner. No one's in, no one in hockey's done it. No, there's no question about that. Canadian team is not one since 1993. The Leafs have not won the Cup since 1967. But Mike and Tony are right to at least mention the Rafters in

Hawaii, 2019 was a massive moment for the country. We all know the impact that guys like Steve Nash and Vince Carter have had on basketball north to a border. But I would agree to you, Dan, people have asked me, what's a bigger deal? If the Blue Jays won the World Series or the Raptors winning in 2019, I would say the Blue Jays because that's a generational thing.

You know, again, the Raptors is massive when they won. And basketball is huge, as a mean, no, is north of the border. But I do think if the Blue Jays won, I mean, this would really just wrap up the entire country. It's huge. It's all dwarfed by the least, right? How quickly we forget Toronto FC's 2017 title reign.

The thing that triggered the thought for me Adnan is the idea of while I'd forgotten Toronto's Raptors because Kauai Leonard was a mercenary.

The Vladimir Carrero the Vladimir Guerrero family is royalty in Canada at least because Vlad Jr's dad is the one who made the Expos matter. Right. And I'm still trying to figure

who killed the Montreal Expos but I look for the I look forward to watching this Netflix documentary trying to get some answers on this. But, yeah, I mean, father adds some reverend. People forget, Dan, Vlad's Canadian. No, no, he doesn't just play for Canadian team. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a proud Canadian, and he is thrilled to be in Toronto. He's the emblem, the cornerstone of that franchise from the Expos to the Jays.

People love the Guerrero's. You just made a reference that made me think we've gone too long without talking to Billy Gill, who has a top five list of the things he will not miss from around here as he leaves. As part of Billy's goodbye today, I cannot wait to hear how many OLIs this one has. Oh, no. Things that Billy Gill will not miss around here. So it's the top five things that I won't miss from here. We have some OLIs, as you mentioned.

I can't wait to hear how many OLIs we have. We have 34 OLIs. Oh, God damn it. I knew this was going to be. A quick, 30. 34 OLI. Then we get the top five. All right.

OLA number 34. Oh, no. Lamb for lunch three times a week. That was kind of crazy. Roy eats all the lamb, by the way. Lamb is great. Roy eats all the lamb. Lamb's not bad, but three times a week is excessive.

These ungrateful people, Dan, you're feeding them lamb. This is a luxurious meat. Roy, you don't need four lamb chops. I eat two. O'alline number 33. wondering where Stugats is when he's supposed to be on a Zoom recording OLLI number 32

OILI number 27, Taylor. OLAI number 26, Jeremy's Songs. OILI 25, all of Tony's clearly made up stories. I thought I was out on Skate there.

OLLI number two Jason's showing me eating or yawning or playing on my phone while vice presidential candidate is talking about how he'd fix the United States OLAIN number one Robert Quinlan Costas All right, hold on to the

I want to tease the five till later now that we finally got into the five and made Adnan sit through all five while he's got hockey and baseball and baseball information that he wants to give to the American public. We'll get to Billy's top five before the end of the show. Also, Jeremy's saying that he wants to get in and say goodbye to you in a more loving fashion. We'll see if we get to that as well.

I will remind people again that Adnan's book, Cineophile, interviews, essays, and tales from the red carpet is available now. Are you, like a lot of people, hoping that the Dodgers lose because you can't break baseball just because you got the best TV contract and you get into the playoffs. for 13 straight years, and you have all the best players. Yeah, my main issue, Dan, it's not animus towards the Dodgers for that reason. It's just as a baseball fan, if I don't have a dog in the race, I want as much baseball as possible. So I'm trying for the Brewers yesterday to make this a competitive series. Once it goes 3-0, I'm like, well, it's a fed accompli, this thing's done.

So game for today, I guess if Milwaukee would like to extend the agony, I suppose we can do that, but then the series is going to be done in five and in rather short order. It's certainly frustrating for Dodgers, haters, but at the same time, I applaud them for their excellence. Their starting pitching, Dan, this postseason, has a 1.54 ERA. That is unbelievable in today's game. With so many people saying, well, starting pitching doesn't matter. It's all about bullpins. They said, no, we're going to go ahead and get the best starters available. And how about this? We're basically going to punt in the regular season. We really don't care about it. We'll coast and win the division. Maybe we'll win 90, 95 games. You won't be the number one seed.

Who cares? Because come playoff time, Blake's down will have thrown 70 innings. For Blake's now, it's June 1st. He's as fresh as a daisy. He can throw eight innings with no problem. whatsoever. Yamamoto's been a horse for them. Oh, Tani, we don't even need him to start game four. And Tyler Glassnow starts game three. He's an ace on most teams. Well, that's the thing I've never seen before. A team built in baseball for the playoffs

is not something I have seen before these Dodgers. Right. They clearly said to themselves, Dan, we don't care about the regular season, even if we get it as a wild car. What do we care? It's all right. We'll win the division. We won't even have a buy. It's fine. We'll win no matter what. Because we have the starters. We have the horses. You know, offensive, they have not been

a juggerna. They scored three runs against the Brewers. They're scratching out some runs. Mookie Betts has been better. Otani's done virtually nothing offensively. Had a triple yesterday, his first of the postseason. He's been awfully quiet. It's guys like Tommy Edmunds stepping up. You're Max Buncie's.

Those ones getting timely hits. It's their pitching. And even the bullpen damage should have been a weakness. They just move the starters to the bullpen. We don't have a closer. We'll get Roki Sasaki if you're the closer. Great. No problem.

He can get three outs for us. This is good for baseball, right? For the Dodgers to be just a machine that keeps going back. Well, it can't be good for baseball that the Dodgers are the new Yankees, that they are just money. We will throw money at everything and everyone will drown in our money.

I'm torn on it. I mean, a part of me says, yeah, in any sport, if you have a team that feels dynastic, if you'd either love them or hate them, that's good for the sport. If the cowboys are rolling in football, Panthers. Panthers in hockey,

big win for the Flyers, by the Cody, Coturia, two goals to assist. But I think ultimately, if you look at the sport, maybe back-to-back titles is good for the sport, to a mean's point. If the Dodgers go back to back, LA is a huge robust fan base.

But then the Dan's point, if it goes three straight years of the Dodgers and you're spending your way to a title, that causes a lot of acrimony throughout the sport. You can't break baseball just because you got the best TV contract. But do you fault a team for willing to do whatever it takes to win? Right. Back in the day, Dan, we'd applaud George Steinberg and say he cares about winning more than anybody. He'll spend $200 million. Are not the Dodgers following the same script? I guess, except that I always thought.

that someone would and had a chance against the Yankees. What I'm watching from the Dodgers starting pitching, what I'm watching that Shohei Otani doesn't have to get a hit. It doesn't matter. Like he can strike out all the time and they don't need it. Like that's crazy.

Yeah, it is funny when showyotani's offense can become an afterthought. And we've seen it's well documented. When he pitches, his offense suffers. So I've been of the mind now, you don't need Otani to start game four. Like now it's just a luxury. Like now it's fine. It's fine. Well, we'll start We'll have a bullpen game.

What the hell? It's okay. Clayton Kershock can start. Billy's favorite, just for Billy's farewell. That's what the Yankees never could do. Like that, the Yankees never had any of what you just said. Hey, we'll keep Babe Ruth in the dugout. We don't need him today.

What kind of insanity is that? Yeah. And it's, listen, it's not going to get any better any time soon. Like if you're a Dodgers hitter, all these guys are locked up. Like, imagine if Sasaki is actually healthy next season and pitches a full year. Imagine if these guys are actually healthy and pitch the full year. I mean, then they're even scarier. But does it matter to them?

Again, the regular season doesn't matter to the Dodgers. Doesn't matter to a lot of teams now. The extra wild card you go, let's just get 85 wins and get in the playoffs and get hot at the right time. And so far, it's working to a T when it comes to this Dodgers script. Adnan, thank you. We will talk to you soon. Appreciate all of the insight. Catch him, the host of MLB Tonight and Amazon Prime Monday Night Hockey.

Thank you, sir. Love you guys. Billy will be missed. And by the way, I just want to read Dan's lovely blurb to me for Sineafel. Adnan Verk is ill. Sick, trouble, diagnosed with acute Scorsese. His addiction to film is neither healthy nor sane. He really thinks the world needs more of his thoughts on movies.

I hate that he's right. The great Dan Leverterre. Thank you. Thank you, Adnan. We appreciate it. Can you get for me the last time Jeremy and what Jeremy's got going on because he wants to get in on the show. It's crowded today.

We want to get to our emotional goodbye to Billy. And Jeremy keeps trying to horn in on what it is that we're doing to talk baseball. And what are you doing in the bullpen, Jeremy? What do you have for us to honor Billy today? No, Dan, I just really appreciate the space that Billy has provided for me to be able to talk baseball to talk Marlins with him. I'm wearing a Marlins hat in his honor today. And it's because we had times talking about that team. I remember, you know, when you swallowed him whole on that 2018 opportunity for him to be out at opening.

Oh, what? Shut up, Jeremy. Shut up, Jeremy. Please just wrap it up. You are not Billy. Folks, what if I told you you could give a gift that brings your favorite holiday traditions and memories to life every single day?

And he's saying Twitter The more friends, the more you make friends Amelma This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. Chris Cody, I mean, has somehow fallen in love with Joe Missoula. I don't know how you feel about Joe Missoula. I asked Nick Wright after Joe Missoula won the championship. A serious question.

Is he a good coach? Still don't know. Why have you fallen in love with Joe Missoula? Well, his quotes are great. Like, he's just kind of like, you know, I don't know. just got a vibe with the media. But this year, you know, teams do this. We've played in softball games. Before seasons, teams do media games. You know, baseball does softball. And the Celtics, we're going to have a media game where media people play versus each other. And at the last

second, Joe Missoula announced, not this year. This year, you guys are playing against coaches. So we have a B-roll here of them playing this game. It's harmless. You see Missoula there walking past mid-court. And he celebrates a basket here. And you think it's a game-winning basket and this is like wow a close game and you watch mazula here he gets a fist pump and he fist bumps then they pan over the coaches are winning 57 to 4 and it's just like i love the fact that he's just like you're not playing the media this year you're playing the coaches we're gonna rock your ass we're gonna boat race you 57 to 4 and i just he's growing on me i mean i like joe mazula i like it i like it i'm look i think he's in the same place that mike mcdaniel

was in, the difference is he won a championship, Mike and Daniel didn't. But it's still the same thing, which is all this cute stuff is cool when you're winning. Oh, the quirky answers and a t-shirt says, God, Jiu-Jitsu, and coffee, and all that stuff is cool when you're winning. When you stop winning, the patience and the tolerance for all the corkiness goes right out the window. And so this year, I think the Celtics are going to be good still. They still have good players. They had Anthony Simons, who I think is going to be really good for them. It's like, we'll see how much appetite Boston has for them when they're not dominant,

when they're not the best team in the league. Also, to Jay King of the Athletic, who was in that game and then wrote afterward, and he was so ashamed and embarrassed. I texted him. I said, I read it, and I said, pathetic article. Pathetic article, Jay King. Did he have any of the four points? You should have gone even harder.

roasted you should have roasted Missoula for bad decisions wearing down his coaches with a full court press and I said you gotta double down man and don't let any of those coaches get injured this year if they do

you immediately tie it into too many minutes during a meaningless game and then afterward he said Jaylon Brown asks everyone does anyone want to do media ha ha ha ha ha ha I said when he says that you say let's do it because we're not like these little

ginsy snibbly whining like oh I had a bad day and now I have to talk to the media it's part of your job man up how many points did you have scored me yeah you know what I would have done

I would have locked up Joe Missoula wow yeah and you know what I'm not even scoring tonight you're not scoring you're not scoring and by the way if he gets by me I'm throwing something dirty yeah chicken wing chicken wing I'll let him know

we're not here you know what we're here to compete we're not just here like oh my god you got you're so good no easy ones get out of here Matthew Barry's here hey

Matthew Barry Matthew Barry. Matthew Perry. Matthew Barry. It ended quicker than I thought it was going. There you go. That's what you... You've got to get the timing down.

Go ahead. Oh, all right, here we go. And every game this season but one, the Detroit Lions have allowed multiple touchdown passes. And among their issues, deep pass attempts, their bottom five in the NFL

in both yards and touchdowns allowed on deep passes. Who do they play this week? Baker Mayfield, quarterback in the NFL has more deep pass attempts than Baker Mayfield. Start Baker. I don't care who is his wide receivers are. By the way, other side of the ball last week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have allowed at least 340 passing yards to an opposing quarterback in two straight weeks. Those quarterbacks, Mac Jones and Sam Darnold. Don't get cute. You're starting Jared Gough. By the way, in the two games since Braylon Allen went on IR, Brise Hall has gotten 82% of the Jets running back touches. I know you're like, ugh, the Jets are awful. But get this. Three of the last four running backs to get at least 15 touches against the Carolina Pan. have scored at least 16 fantasy points. They've also given up two receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs. Don't get weird about it. You're starting Breeze Hall.

Okay. Over the last four weeks, no team has allowed more rushing yards for game or a higher yards for carry against to running backs than the Miami Dolphins. Dan, I'm sure you're aware of that. They've actually given up at least 20 fantasy points to an opposing running back in four of their past five games. Believe or not, the Browns are actually favored in a game this week. So Quinn-John Judkins should have a nice game against Miami.

No team in the NFL has allowed more. more rushing touchdowns to running backs than the Tennessee Titans. They've, in fact, given up at least one rushing touchdown to a running back. In every game this year, believe it or not, Ramandre Stevenson has seen 83% of the Patriots goal line attempts over the last two weeks. I think Ramondri gets in the end zone against Tennessee and Brable's revenge game. Over the last four weeks, only two teams the NFL, a lot more phonics and points to opposing wide receivers than the Colts. Ladd-McConkie has five red zone targets in just the past two games. The three games that Risholed played last year, he had a 34% target share.

Everyone in fantasy football has been waiting to get Rishi Rice off their bench onto the field. You know who else has? Hatchamah Holmes. Don't get cute. You're starting Rishie Rice this week. For three straight weeks, three straight weeks, Travis Hunter's route participation has increased. Last week, it was a season I 86%. And Liam Cohen of the Jaguar said this week, the team is making a priority to design and call more plays in which Travis Hunter is the number one option.

Last week, only one tied in, ran more routes than Cade Otton. And with all the injuries to the Tampa Base pass catchers, Kate Otton, saw a target chair of 26% last week. Over the last two years when Otten gets at least a 20% target share, he averages almost 15 fantasy points for game. And last week, last one here, Dan,

only four teams allowed more yards per game to opposing titans then the Miami Dolphins. They also give up the seventh most fantasy points to titans. David and Joku is banged up. This is a Harold Fanon week for the Browns. Harold Fanon's... Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry.

Matthew Barry. watch and stream full episodes of fantasy football happy hour with matthew barry NBC sports peacock get personalized info and tools for all things fantasy and sports betting at fantasylife dot com i really can't believe what matthew barry just said i saw 18 months of patrick mahomes be less than patrick mahomes because he didn't have his wide receivers matthew barry saying baker mayfield don't care who his receivers are receivers do not matter Take Baker Mayfield. What kind of insanity is that?

Baker has managed it. I mean, last week, Tess Johnson, Cameron Johnson, again, Cade Otton, you know, he made a mecca Bucca is currently the betting favorite to be offensive rookie of the year. We'll see because of the injury if that happens. But like, Baker's made everyone great. Baker's made everyone great. And Mahomes, I think, hasn't had to do that just because his defense has been so good over the last couple years.

And they've had people in or out as well. But look, Mahomes is great. He's the goat. He's amazing. how versatile out of Hall of Famer, I get all that. But if I had an MVP vote and you took it today, Baker Mayfield's the MVP of the NFL. Matthew, good seeing you.

A total insanity, everything he just said. I cannot believe it's the middle of the season in 2025, and Mahomes needs receivers. But Don Baker. Baker doesn't need receivers. Okay. You disagree with that? No, I don't.

I just can't believe that it's true. Yeah. Look, but Mahomes has been good the last couple of weeks as well. I mean, again, Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown. You know, he was missing Xavier Worthy for a few weeks. I think it's a fair, I think it's a fair criticism or question. He just, I don't know, Baker's been playing better. You know, it is, it is sort of insane to think that.

No, it is. It's totally nuts. Matthew, thank you. We appreciate the time. We appreciate that you make it quick. Our apologies that the Zoom and the music left you totally vulnerable there going as fast as you possibly could without the music you need to buoy you. We'll do better next time.

Thank you, sir. We probably won't do better next time. Music drowns about. If I'm being a lot of him, he'll see you're being totally honest. We're going to have Billy's top five and the club. We're going to put it in the last segment and say goodbye to Billy in a way that finally gets to his top five, 34 OLIs on things that he won't miss. I honestly thought it was going to be $1,0.34. I thought my impression sound different.

If you push a button and it takes a thousand pictures, you're going to find a good one in the batch. There were a lot of photographers there taking thousands of pictures. One got that photograph. Okay, good retort. Stugats. Haven't you ever passed by photographers? I guarantee you when that shot was taken, we didn't just hear,

that's not what you heard. If you were by that camera, like in my ear with that. He does a good camera. This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. Only the greatest of expenses on how to celebrate Billy Gill's final segment on the show with us. We have an assortment of toys that suggest great enthusiasm. Crack it's fun. I just cracked mine.

No, no, yeah. Before we get to this party celebrating his punctuation, Billy Gill's 15-year extraordinary run on our show. Chris Cody, tell people about the watch party. We're going to do very close to Billy's hood. Closer to Tony's hood. We don't do this very often. The hood. Arod's hood. The watch party with Miller Light.

Give people the details. That's right, Dan. We're throwing a Miller Light watch party for Thursday night football. Dolphins versus Ravens at Flanagan's in Kendall, Southwest, 88th Street, and Kendall Drive. Join us Thursday, October 30th for a Halloween block party. Costumes and courage. The whole crew will be there. Dan, Chris, Roy, Tony, Jeremy, Amin, Dave Damshek, and more.

Party starts at six, Billy? I do want to do the top five things. Billy Gill will not miss about being here for 15 years. Hell of a run, Gil. 15 years, doing any job is a hell of a run. And after all those years, Dan calls you Gil for the very first time. Let down vulnerabilities. We're on a last name basis.

Number five. Well, no, there's a new OLAI. OLA number one, B. Dan interrupting the top five to get to Adnan, Verk, talking about George Steinbrenner. Number five. Danny B. remembering to bring everything on a trip except one thing, and that one thing was usually the thing

that made all the other things work. Yes. Thank you. Number four. I thought you were going to say Danny B. bringing something up at the end of a meeting. No, that's Jason's role. Number four, the useless sound montage. It's so good.

Number three, finding out things that happen in the company from awful announcing. I still am. Number two, the grid of Dentech punishments. You didn't have to suffer many of them. Number one thing I will not miss from the show. Being asked where people is. What a triumphant. return for Billy Gill. Would anyone

like to say anything heartfelt here in the last couple of minutes that we officially have with Billy Gill? Or do you just want to talk more about Joe Flacco and Max Scherzer? I mean, loss and all that, Aaron Rogers, look pretty good this season.

That throw... Outside of the couple of interceptions. That throw, Aaron Rogers made a throw longer than anyone has made in the league since 2017. That Hail Mary throw, no one's thrown to football that far since 2017. I just like this opportunity to plug episode 169 of Cinepho. Billy was on that one.

We did Speed too. Cruise control. Yep. Has Greg Cody asked you to be on his podcast yet? Yeah, your dad's going to be so mad at me because he like texted me a couple nights ago asking for comment on his article. And I was like, no, I will not give you a statement for this thing that you're leaking. Like, no, I'm not participating in that.

And then he's like, well, come on my podcast. I was like, please don't do that. And then, yeah, later, he's like, incidentally, while I have you here, maybe we could do a podcast episode. Maybe you could come on as early as Friday, if not, you know, Saturday or Sunday. And then I got a text from him yesterday that I need to respond to that I haven't opened yet because I knew exactly where it was. But it's like, hope the day went well. It was and I just saw dot dot. And I was like, okay, this is just, we're checking in to see when the availability might be.

He's not going to stop. No, I know. He's a bit of a stalker on this. I need to get back to him. I feel bad. I haven't got back to him. I have a lot of people to get back to that have reached out over the past couple days. So, like, thank you to everyone who's reached out.

I'll get back to you. Except maybe not great because we'll see how that goes. He's just trying to use you for clicks. If you've got any lovely or final words, those can be the final ones that you want as punctuation. If not, we're going to play the song here again and see if it, you know, I can keep it together, Gilly. You became the dude. as you vaulted higher a useless sound not hard to find

And our love for you It was forged in fire Every time you blew your mind Skeptical at times But nuance always knows How to make us feel without you on the show You won't be back jack, our favorite hypochondriac. So bang those pots and pans into the sky.

To go where apple pies and eagles fly, it's hard to say goodbye. An onion won't be the thing to make us cry. It really is like he died, when it's hard to say goodbye. It really is like he died.
