The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Hour 1: Tepper Tantrum

Episode Date: January 2, 2024

Plus, Panthers owner Dave Tepper throws a drink at a fan, and CFB bowl games are now just fodder for gamblers.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Dunlabel Tarshall with this 2GOTS podcast. Probably should have went without the dashes. Right? On the Levitard show? Yeah. Just get some words. That site's not working. No. Maybe I without the dashes. Yeah. Right on the Levitard show. Yeah. Just get set word.

That site's not working. No, maybe I got the right mist and M. Okay. All right. Let's try it together. It's Jerka. Jerka. Las Vegas.

Las Vegas. It's gonna be so cold. It's gonna be cold. Slash. Have we made it? Stadium. Backslash or folks? Dash.

Mm-hmm. I think it's a. I know I know I know it's stadium dash right to body. It's stadium dash swim is that the first dash and then after the slash stadium dash swim. Okay. Then slash I have made a terrible mistake. Billy Dan Billy. What are we work no dash levitard Billy what a man levitard. What are we headed toward in the game?

Dash, show, I don't know. I see everyone's scrambling. It worked for me. Bouncing into each other. I'm in. Yeah, I'm, and you can be in two. All you gotta do, just navigate this. RSVP right now, you put your first thing

in the last game. I'm not going for the whole trail. What, what, what do you mean? What, what, what, what are you talking about? I'm not going to talk about it. I can't do this. I'm scared of it. Guys, that's okay. I'm gonna do like half the trip. What? What do you mean? I'm going to talk about it. I can't do this. I'm scared of it. Guys, that's okay. I'm going to do like half the trip.

What? I can't do this. Showing off all the fun. I can't do this amount of stress. I'm not going to do this amount of stress. We need to be more organized in this. With the whole show, you know how hard this has to move.

I'm the legend Photoshop and this group shot here. Lucy was not there for that photo shoot. I can't wait for Lucy to get back to God's. How did they get Jessica's arm around her? She, that was poorly photoshopped. All of that. Well, that picture was from the dolphins watch party and then they just cropped both of them in.

So, they got the arm around. Jeremy's head is just floating there. No, because Jessica is dressed like she was for the photo shoot. So, that's actually Jessica from the photo shoot. No, let me do that. There are some poor photoshopps and Stugat's hand has been like a wandering meat hand that looks like it's out of one of those Adam's family movies.

It looks like a grotesque hand. That's got an identity of its own. And I'm surprised it's not around. It's like everyone's pockets. Yeah, this is labeled moss. Are we going to do some moss type stuff? Those details are being worked out. OK.

And again, I want to get there later and later because I'm worried about everything that's happening. I'm really excited for this. We announced it before we had the details. That is correct. That's rare. And now our website is a little wordy. Our link is a little wordy.

It's very easy. Circa Las Vegas.com. Slash. Stadium. Dash. Swim. Slash. Dan. Dash. dash levitard dash show. Anyways, this is going to be exciting and terrifying because I'm already scared of everything

happening here. Just everything that can go wrong. But if you want to support our show in the variety of ways that it needs support, you can subscribe to our YouTube page, which is simply a slash and an at levitar show. There you go. That computer. You took it some while. You took it some while.

You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while.

You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. You took it some while. to watch Sundays game together with some YouTube exclusive content where we just watch the biggest game in dolphin history or the biggest game in 25 years for the dolphins is gonna be Sunday night and so I want to get some people over there supporting that

But I also want to get some of you out to Vegas with us. We're not giving you a lot of time Usually the moss events get planned with a lot more time than this, but we've been running on a treadmill for two straight years. And somehow the Super Bowl always sneaks off on us. Yeah, but I know how possible. I would say that this is plenty of lead time for an event like this. You're just going to have to decide if you want to come out to the Super Bowl, not knowing the teams that are involved, and that's certainly going to make it a lot easier. Well, man, if it's the Miami Dolphins, we don't gotta worry about this at all.

But I don't know if you've seen the commercial for the Super Bowl with Chad Ocho Sinko. It's actually shot at the circus swim. I've been at the circus swim. I was there for the Dolphins' Bill's playoff game last year. It is electric, it doesn't matter what point in the seasons we are in, doesn't matter if it's 40 degrees outside,

that is an electric place with one of the best views in all Las Vegas, and I cannot wait to be there. It's off the strip. And our show is off the strip energy. There's everything in the show. I was hoping it would be downtown dirty, dirty Vegas. Because this is high end. Right next to free monster.

No, I know, but I would be happy. Right next to where Cyrus Capet is. That's where the dirty stuff is. I was hoping. How did Cyrus the virus get flown off of the ladder on Freemonstreet and then he landed on a pile driver? There's, I've been there. There is an O'acier right next to Freemonstreet.

That's the part of Conair that struck you as hard to believe. Yeah. He got flown on directly to a conveyor belt. Like what are the odds? I saw Conair for the first time like six months ago. Right. You called the Conair. Yeah. months ago. Right. Good call the Connor. Connor.

It's kind of like David. Connor, sorry guys, I'm Cuban. I have an accent. Sorry, it's con. Dash air. Connobert Dard. Con air. Tony, didn't you feel like their whole

my new thing was kind of racist? I didn't know it was French. Basque Country. Yeah. That kind of in the middle though. It's where you combined Spain and France, kind of like Florida, Bama. But it you combined Spain and France kind of like flora Bama, but it was Cuban. You felt, but it felt a bit racist. What else? It's a good movie.

I have something. I can't believe it's taking me this long and I'm sorry that I am, I've waited this long into the show to do it because it's an egregious judgment error on my part, but we had to get to Colt playoff scenarios and assess the cyclones. They're now cyclones. Cyclones. Yeah, just cyclones now. I believe, and this is hard to do. Nick Wright has explained to you, Stu Gatz, because we're watching the evolution of the take throughout sports television and Tony and

Micah are still on television doing it and skip and Stephen A still doing it and now Shannon Sharp runs into the space because he's doing cool shit with Ocho Sinko But it is hard right now to have a take that no one else has Stugots is finding it harder and harder these days in the sports realm to get to the trough and be the first one there with A take that no one else has but he is coming here today after eight days off and he is doing his finest work right now. He was crafting the daughter's disrespected him so he had time to work and to think and to craft a take. So I would like this television camera in here

to get as close to Stugots as face as possible. And I want you to get in here because I believe this could be a viral moment for the show where Stugots is giving a take that no one else is giving. Everyone's talking about football. Everyone's had days to talk about football. And stugots is willing to make a bold proclamation here that none of the other people at the Super Bowl would be willing to make. Not Dan Patrick, not Rick Eisen, Richard Eisen, not the gatekeepers, not the Kyle Brandt, not anybody. Nobody is saying what Stu gots is come in here to say today.

So everyone out of the way please, and I'm sorry Stu gots genuinely, it's okay, that it's taking me this long to get to the take. God bless football didn't have this. This is exclusive to our show. Everyone back off and give him a lot of room here because this is a master craft.

This is a work of the highest order. He's a sculptor, everyone out of the way. Dan, this time of year, everyone talks about teams they don't want to see. Come play off time. I want to talk about a team that I actually want to see. Come play off time. I want to see the chiefs. I want Patrick Mahalm strolling into my stadium with max confidence.

I want Travis Kelsey. I want Patrick Mahalim strolling into my stadium with max confidence. I want Travis Kelsey. I want Taylor Swift. I want the team that lost a Jordan love. I want the team that lost a Adon O'Connell. I want the team that trailed 17 to nothing to Jake Browning. That is the team that I would like to face in the playoffs. That's the team indeed that I would want to face in the playoffs because that team is not very good. I have been saying for years there is something off in Kansas City.

Last year that take didn't go so well for me. They won the Super Bowl. This year it's going very, very well. They are 10 and 6. They're down. The offense is not what it used to be. The defense does it travel well. They're good at home, not great on the road. I want, if I'm a playoff team, I don't want Flacco. I don't want Mike Tomlin.

I don't want any of those teams. The teams that I want, strolling into my stadium, Kansas City chief, shocking. Just I do. Simply shocking. I know. We all saw that you were being serious. I mean, something's off there. You have said this and you have now said it publicly. Yeah. And I don't know what Nick Wright is going to do with that because what I was starting to say is that Nick Wright has already told you that he has staked the claim on LeBron's the greatest knowing it's a stupid corner. And a wonderful corner just like, yes, let's just argue LeBron, Michael Jordan, that's how I'm going to stay in the take game. And I'm going to be controversial. Just stay out the position. None of these opinions

matter that much. Nick Wright is on the other side of this very publicly pro chiefs are the best team in football. My homes is the best player ever. We've spent many years now salivating at how wonderful the chiefs are. And this is the most vulnerable version of them because we see that their offense is not right. We see that they're being carried by defense. We see them against the Bengals at home in a game that they had to have Get down 1713 at the half and then the defense bail to them out the chiefs led by defense and my homes as Do got the entire sports changes around the quarterback position very quickly like the way this is survival of the fittest and cutthroat Is fascinating to me where Lamar Jackson can make himself more valuable than Patrick Mahomes. Right. Crazy.

I mean, but it can happen quickly. These teams are all fighting for the same things. They're all fighting in the same margins. It's a salary cap sports. Most things are equal. The schedule can alter whether you're 10 and six or 12 and four. 10, you know, whatever it is, 10 and seven. You have a few fumbles and Josh Allen and the bills. They're fighting for their lives, or you all know they can beat everybody. Like you all know it, listening to this, they play perfect games where they don't have turnovers.

They've got a centaur at quarterback as the position changes, and their wide receivers are good enough. Their, their tight end is good enough. Their skill guys are good enough when you can do what Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are doing, which is, yeah, make, think, running back totally disposable. Why? Because I got a quarterback who can score 15 touchdowns rushing.

Well, that's my point. I mean, you don't want to see Josh Allen because, as you pointed out, Josh Allen can beat anyone. You don't want to see, you don't want to see a team like the Houston Texans because you're scared of CJ Straub because in a one game scenario, the thing you're saying that shocking is my homes has been that at the top of this league highest paid player for the last five years. He's never done it on the road in the post season. Do it on the road in the post season.

I would rather Kansas City walk into my stadium than Cleveland. I want nothing to do with Flacco. He's won a Super Bowl. He's done it on the road. That's shocking. And they have a great defense. I want nothing to do with the Cleveland Browns. I want the shocking. You guys are stunned silent in there. You guys have nothing. I think it's a we're at the point of the season where you can call it successfully.

We've all had the games. I think most of us in the audience were expecting it to happen again on Christmas day against the Raiders. Surely they're going to turn it on. They have to. They're going to, the chiefs are going to do that chiefs thing. He waiting where they, where they snag a victory out of certain defeat. And the guy just goes for 40 yards untouched. It hasn't happened this season. Just hasn't. They've been playing bad defenses lately. And Harrison butters clicking six times. Maybe the Ravens and Bills have passed them though. I'm not with Stu Gotts. I'd much rather see the Browns in the playoffs. Really? Oh, and I know Miles Garrett defense great. Best defense

in the league. Bring on the ground. I'll just quarterback in the ring on the Browns. I told you that opposed. Let me tell you something. They want to see you too. Yeah. They certainly want to see you too. Put it on the pole at Levin Tardt showed. Wait a minute. There was a lot of chest in that mic. There was a lot of trust in that mic. Give me the dolphins in December. Give me them. Give you. What? What'll be Janu?

Really? Yeah. Saturn has mysterious shadows on its rings. Stugans has been sending me to Earth. Doom and Apocalypse News. He's finally caught up. This James Webb telescope. I mean, it's discovery too much.

Things I don't want to know. Just leave me alone. But if they were there the whole time, now we can just see him. What does it matter? He's not wants less information. Don't you understand? I just want to live.

He wants ignorance is bliss and he's happier. That's correct. He just wants to live stop, stop bothering him with discovery. Do you know when you're looking at a star, you're looking directly into the past, because by the time the star's light reaches you, right, several million light years away, it's probably already dead.

I wanna look forward. I like that. Right? Sure. I don't care what happened, whatever happened. I mean, we can't technically look forward into space though. Thank you. Thank you. I don't know. Yeah, because technically look forward into space though. Thank you. Thank you?

It's really good. Yeah. He changes their whole. You want to have a fun game? Google Western Conference MBA standings. Why? Blow your mind. Blow your mind.

If the season ended, I had been I've been paying attention to the ISD and not really to the NBA day in day out. the Western Conference standings are upside down Dan you don't want to play the Rams right now. You know why? They're good getting hot at the right time Plus yeah, I think it Roy Roy that felt like that brought a little bit of the holidays for Roy got a little warmth in his heart there. Yeah, well back. Largest date with the rare one-law season with a loan loss being by 60 points. Yeah, it doesn't happen a lot.

Kirk Herbstreet, we get it. You have a cute dog and you fly around the country on private jets enough. A smile washing over my face, watching people Google the Western kind of. That's it. I'll just tell you Xander. Great. Sir.

Yes, they're good. Florida State, Georgia, to Mike's point, the rare game that felt big, but wasn't. The Eagles were asking to be upset by the Cardinals. And you know what they got, Dan then they got what they asked for they did You leave the back door open for Tyrod Taylor and you deserve what happens next? Well, they won Back door cover

But the Rams should have lost that game. What they want they ball is skating he is skating out He handled the end of that game so poorly. Nobody cares because it's Giants Rams. Tyrod Taylor. Deonte Wilder lost this week and nobody even knows it. There was just too much happening. Roode. Sorry.

Tyrod Taylor lives once, snap away. Jim Harbaugh has never looked happier than he did when posing for a picture next to Mickey Mouse. Did you see that? I love it. The happiest I've ever seen him. Love that Mickey Mouse is now available to all of us. Mickey Mouse is now the rights of the people. Just steamboat Willie. Mickey.

It's almost down like if you're looking into the past, you have the Mickey of the past and you're seeing it now for the first We own him now though. It's nice to own that piece of all of us do all of us do all of us do that's right Florida state Georgia Already said this one betting ball games Dangerous game Georgia by the way would be favored against everybody George I want not so sorry. I want to make Georgia the national champion just based on, we know they're better than everybody.

We know they lost Alabama. They'd be favored against everybody. And FS used the one we all thought should be it. If you have male to send a Tyrod Taylor, just send it to one snap away drive. I assure you that's exactly where he'll be. He's having it. And just how ridiculous that is.

Brian Farron, let's imagine mailing something to one snap away drive. It's a great address, is it not? One snap away drive. They all live there. CJ Bethard lives there. They all eat a good game. All of them live there.

Is Metal Arc media really making a big deal about a guy who was working sports his entire life attending the biggest sporting event of the year. Hell we do it. Speaking of hell, our prials, Dan, those are the weekend observations. Don Lebertard.

A recreation of the iconic scene in a few good men as told by Chris Cote. Spulgatz. Colonel Jessup, did you order the code red? You don't have to answer that question. I'll answer the question. You want answers? I think I'm entitled to them.

You want answers? I want the truth! I-you can't handle the truth! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha- This is the down lebatar show with this two cats. You know what, there are certainly places. No one chose Pizzeria. Pizzeria, an Italian restaurant or two very different things. Yeah, yeah. So like I was thinking about Joe DiMaggio, but DiMaggio's is a great, is a great name.

Sit down for a second. I sit down. Absolutely. Absolutely. You all right? Yeah, there's a science to it. Mm-hmm. I have my headsets on.

I thought very old. Just going, mm-hmm. He got, yes. You are, you and my father. You and my father. Yes. Old people sounds,

Stu Gotts is aging at what I would say it's an alarming rate. It's the drugs and the teenagers cigarettes and the cigarettes drinking and a lack of sleep. The general bad behavior bad hygiene bad at taking care of himself stuff. Fair. You got the abroller though. I do. Yes. It's going to be a party by J. Get for me please, because we're just talking about people of a certain age and Stugatz is wanted.

You may have noticed in his performance over the last two years to lean into the age to just mail it in at the back end because you're tired and you've been doing this a long time. And even if it's making billions like Tepper, you want to behave the way you want to behave. Because still got, it's been a while. I think maybe it was Bud Adams. We know these owners behave very poorly. But Adams. Well, this is the reason I bring it up because we know these billionaires. It's a funny thing about that sport, right? We pay a lot of attention to Travis Kelsey, but the owners in that sport are really funny lot.

They're really well protected. Just look at some of Jerry Jones' controversies on the internet recently and how Bob Kraft managed to get out of the whole situation in Boka. Whatever the hell that was, these owners are able to behave as adolescents, but billionaires at the top of the sport. Tapper thought he was gonna get to Carolina, higher Matt Rool and everything was gonna get fixed. But now he's loser guy.

This guy who entered this club as a billionaire, expecting to win, expecting it'd be easier. Hey, I'll just get strouled instead of young. Oh, wow, that's how quickly it can happen. Work. The Texans are fixed and Caroline is still a laughing stock. They're the worst team in the league. They've got no chance against Jacksonville.

They've got no offense. Their quarterback is the one from Alabama who can't play with what they've got around him. And he's frustrated and angry and we get rare video, not seen since Bud Adams was in a blue leisure suit and gave the double middle fingers to the crowd with the flaps on the side. Old school style, you guys are going to have to blur this out because this is too hot for the internet. But Adam's draft Kings, I'm sorry, whatever the rules are around here, I've got to put

the side flaps on the middle fingers. But Adam's was 90 something years old. He was wearing a light blue leisure suit and he told everybody to bleep off. Here's the owner of the Carolina Panthers, behaving poorly and this needs to be a bigger controversy because the last guy, he went out and shamed quietly, foot rubs is what he said. And then he ran out of the door with his white hair and took his ridiculousness with him. Here's Tepper right here in a sky box. And there he is, disgusted.

You guys do what with this controversy? This is all I've got here. Owners behaving poorly. There's grainy footage. Most of the footage that comes from all Jacksonville games is grainy. A tepour tantrum. That's a good joke. It was an observation. I didn't get to it. We didn't have enough time. You could have just acted like you did that in the other more. But let's go. Let's go to the observations that hit the cutting room for because I keep I got done. Yeah, and I'm good. I mean, my grinds making faces Mike, you don't feel confident

about what's remaining. Sorry, I'm like, there's one temper tantrum. Yeah. My favorite part of this clip is the guy in the suit next to Tepper who's like, of terrified to like react. Because obviously most people would react like, oh, that's not good, but it's probably his boss. So he's just like, oh, awkward,

just gonna look straight here, you're gonna act like I didn't see that. I would really enjoy Stugat's, if somebody, I don't know, Metal Arc Media makes documentaries. Can we please get really into these lives of these people who behave the way they do at the top rungs of power in that sport. Like Jim Urce, a no-holds-barred look at really what's going on in the life of Jim Urce.

You think Urce wants that? Would allow that? I don't know, but if we're going to do quarterbacks, the quarterbacks don't want it either. The quarterbacks already, Peyton Manning can't make documentaries with any quarterbacks. There, he can't get guys to do it next year. They did it with cousins, Marioda, and my homes. I love what hard knocks is doing. What an intimate look at the Miami Dolphins.

What an easy way to get to love players in uniforms because they can craft these wonderful tales because they've got this magic machine that makes everything look like something between ballet, opera and art, like, and they could just imagine, can you, man, HBO just went off the air. I saw it when I was off this weekend, because Brian Cumble said goodbye quietly to a form of sports television that dies with that show. No one's going to be able to do that for 30 years, the way that that show did it. High end journalism that wasn't compromised by the money that was not, hey, we have to in exchange for access do this the way football wants us to do it.

No, an independent arm that did the strongest of sports stories. He broke up at the very end, the lifelong television person because he knows like he nailed it, nailed it. Third, not 30. They didn't get to 30. 29 years. And everyone at HBO thanked them because of what a ridiculous run that is. They had everyone bill more. All the personalities as if it was letting go of a family show and Brian Gumball season television talent breaking down on the last couple of sentences because he knew that they did good work really hard work for 29 years. And no one will ever do it that well again.

It really does die with them. And for some reason, they chose Aiden from Sex and the city to do one of the tributes to them and say goodbye And he didn't deserve it and Chris rock mailed in his goodbye from a pier somewhere lazy Chris rock needs to do better For HBO sports in that small dinner you want them to fly in for that? Oh, just make a video that you're paired don't just give me 10 seconds of Chris Rock. Shitting try. Sounds like you're mad. You didn't get asked to do a video.

Oh, part of the family now, Dan, with Max. I think Dan wanted it to die with him. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I would have liked for our little show to carry on the mantle of, uh, Bryant Gumbel's HBO real sport. But this cast of characters are not exactly armen catechans. Sorry. Did gumball go over how the

saints could clinch the NFC South this weekend? Oh boy. Because if the saints win the bucks lose or tie or the saints tie and the bucks lose, saints win the NFC South. Oh wow. Are the Falcons alive? Yeah, the Falcons are hold on. We

went over that one. Falcons is the easiest one. Yeah. I'm sorry. My bad. There's very simple The Falcons live? Yeah, the Falcons are hold on. We went over that one. Falcons are the easiest one. Yeah, hold on. I'm sorry, my bad. I need a lot of good news. I need a lot of good news. I really don't. There's very simple.

Falcons win plus bucks loss and they win the South. Actually, you know what? Wait, the page that got cut off. Hold on a second. Wait, that's impossible, it's easy. But what about the Saints? Guys, you're asking for a lot here. In the interim, we'll give you a moment to get in.

I just went over the Saints. Saints win plus bucks lost or tie. Yeah, but you didn't mention I like how the Falcons plan to that. Well, the Saints win plus a Seahawks loss or tie plus Packers loss or tie or Saints tie plus Seahawks loss plus Packers loss and the Saints just are glitching a playoff. Okay. So are the Saints done in the division? No, no, they got no, no, no, no, no, no, they get when the NFC South, if the Saints win plus a box loss or tie or the Saints tie plus box loss, it's, it's when you say tie, it's just like, I just don't understand the rest.

Some of the stuff that we're doing here when it comes to football analysis is remarkably stupid. I want to get to some Kirby smart sound here, Stugat, because I do think it's a broriously funny that these bowl games were more than ever when they're trying to transition into made for television dollars. The professional minor league of this college football stupidity, Stugat, has never been more wonderfully absurd than during the bowl games where Tyler Van Dyke is in a Wisconsin uniform. So strange. And the portal is so absurd and ridiculous that it's walk-ons out there and whatever you're

in. Jesus. Whatever your team was at Ohio State, it's not the one playing Missouri, even though Missouri is very good. It is basically maximum mercenary nonsense. And the teams don't look anything like they look during the season. You can't. You're crazy to bet on those games, but they exist only for you to bet on them. And you don't know what North Carolina is without Drink May and without everyone else who's

not playing or a look at that USC can still score with all of their walk ons and other guys who didn't go into the portal or transfer or decide that they weren't going to play for USC anymore. I was watching a ball game. I can't remember which one, but the announces were saying, yeah, this is what I'm saying. who didn't go into the portal or transfer or decide that they weren't going to play for you. I was watching a ballgame. I can't remember which one, but the announces were saying, yeah, this quarterback who's starting today, he's in the portal. It's like a triath for other universities. Yeah, it's, it's ridiculous.

And watching these games, it's clear that this has been diluted, but they're never going to fix it if they keep getting the kind of numbers that they do because that's just their business They're going to bank on the average Joe that's tuning into that game not really knowing nor caring if it's the Force string quarterback sorting I really am fascinated by the business of this due got's because all of the gambling Money is coming now in full force because there are only going to be a couple of gambling winners in this giant money space where bar stool can buy a bowl game. And all of it is obviously made for television programming that once you dispense with the amateurism and turn it all into business, sure, it'll be a male commercial, it'll be a pop-tart

commercial. And we're going to make this as dumb and crass and fun and weird as possible. Never mind about education. Look, education was propping up the scam for years and now the injustice is tumbled. Now we all see, hey, money for everybody and no rules and who wants to buy their way into the top 15 and you better have the coaches and stugats the way to make up the ground between Michigan and Alabama. Michigan, this is their best team ever. This is one of the worst savings ever had. The grounds been

made up. Those teams were equal yesterday. If you're going to make it about money and the coaching advantages are going to be so minimal between Sabin and Harbaugh that Harbaugh could cheat his way to the title and no one cares that it's corrupt and crass and you may have a champion that couldn't be a part of half the games in a title soon to be vacated. None of it actually matters because it's just straight business and it's straight competing over dollars. It's great fun, but it's just gambling product. It's just uniforms, you're bored at home,

you need some action, we're gonna throw some more bodies into the mill, they're wearing jersey, but this is their fourth string quarterback, and you like them plus 23 and a half. Do you like your chances betting in FSU game? That was a great team. Their season destroyed at the end ends with embarrassing punctuation of fart into the new business of ACC football. We're laughing at you. You signed a 10-year deal that Skipper built you on. Skipper. I mean, Skipper, you bleep the ACC. They're all filled as Tarheals.

He did. You greedy monster. I do like it from this standpoint though, Dan. It's so much fun where Duke suddenly has Malik Murphy because he was the second to when this Duke have a five star quarterback from Texas. And now you have a Duke team that can compete for national champion. What do you mean now? They've been good for a couple of years.

Not National Championship, good. In football. Malik Murphy, man.
