Starting point is 00:00:55 Eligibility and member terms apply. This is the Don Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast. I need some help from Billy and Roy here on how much shame Chris Cody does or does not deserve. He is a lifelong Miami, South Floridian, descended from South Floridians. And when he told me earlier that Tony was going to be joining us for his top five from the Rickenbacker Causeway, he finished it with whatever and wherever that is. He has no idea where the Rickenbacker Causeway is. How is that possible?
Starting point is 00:01:33 You've never been to the Miami Citroen? No, I have. Like I told Roy when Roy kind of mocked me for it. I'm sure I've been it, seen it, done it. Just don't know what it's called. I'm a Broward guy. If it was 595, I'd know exactly where it was but when I say Rick and Bauer cause what? Oh my god You know what I'm talking about like you've heard of it right Rick and Bauer whatever it's called
Starting point is 00:01:57 He knows what it is, but you know the rest shame Chris for Talking this out. I think we need a little more range on this. Maybe we send Tony to 595 next week. What do you think? No? Okay. Rick and Bauer? It's two gods. Yeah, you know. Well, you don't know is what happened there.
Starting point is 00:02:14 You're supporting Chris Cody and or you're supporting us against Chris Cody and you don't know the name of what you're talking about. Rick and Bacher, Rick and Backer, it doesn't matter, it's called the Rick, it's a causeway. It's okay. You've heard of the causeway, but you're not certain quite where it is.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I get it, I understand that. Do you know where it is? You don't know when you're on it. Can you give us any more information? He's gonna join us from the Rick and Bacher Causeway, but do you have any idea what it leads to? He just gave you, Roy gave you Miami Seaquarium. Is that a helpful hint on where and how it is,
Starting point is 00:02:46 where it takes you? Right now it's leading us to a bad segment. I've been to the Miami Sea Aquarium, so I guess I've been on it. But I've never been on a road and I'm like, I'm on the Rickenbacker right now. That's what I'm doing right now. Well you know it because it's one of the most beautiful
Starting point is 00:03:00 things that we have in South Florida visually. If you say so. Like, well, I mean, no. Yeah, you take it to Crennan Park. It's where the Miami Open used to be before they moved it out to the Hard Rock Stadium. Ah, Key Biscayne, huh? That's correct. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:13 It is the way you get to Key Biscayne. Nice little run. Time now for Stugatsa's weekend observations. It is dangerous. I saw that somebody, this was actually a conversation I was having with Valerie over the weekend. Somebody just drove off I-95 and she said,
Starting point is 00:03:27 it's a great fear that she has. And she asked me, have you ever had it? I'm like, I've been driving this since I was 16 years old. It's not a thought I've ever had that you can just drive off of I-95. That's not something that you can do. I didn't think, but somebody did it this weekend. And Rickenbacker Causeway would be even more dangerous to drive to your death. Let's
Starting point is 00:03:48 start to let's start the weekend observation shall we? It is time for Stu Gatz to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boys Stu. Weekend observations brought to you by Miller Light. Great taste just 96 calories available for delivery. Can I make a bet on where you're gonna start? I mean. Let me just tell, I'm gonna write it down. The lock of the year.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I'm gonna write it down, I'm gonna write it down and then I will have it revealed at the end of this. Impossible to get wrong. Okay. I wanna improvise, but I'm not gonna do it because he deserves it. Okay, let's see what we got. I'm not gonna get wrong. Okay. I want to improvise but I'm not going to do it because he deserves it. Okay. Let's see
Starting point is 00:04:26 what we got. Alright. Dan How there are thirty-two better quarterbacks than him remains one of the biggest mysteries in all of sports. The leadership, the professionalism, the fire, and I'm not just talking about his red hair after going 26 of 37 for 319 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptions,
Starting point is 00:04:53 and leading his team to a 36-22 victory on the road. Dan, just like that, make no mistake about it. For a record, 42nd time here on Weekend Observations, the Red Rifle is back! I thought of you yesterday when he was slinging it. Couldn't help but get excited for you being able to say that the Red Rifle is back. For a 42nd time? Amazing! Take a look at his passing yardage and his career numbers You'll be shocked at how much the red rifle has accomplished. He's a Hall of Famer
Starting point is 00:05:31 No, no, he has more passing yards than boomer a si acid That's Tony Romo then Jim Kelly then Steve Young then Troy Aikman Then Cam Newton then YA Tittle He's not a Hall at Sonny Jurgensen those guys are Hall of Famers and red rifle is not Tim Boyle is a dolphin How Andy Dalton, I'm still learning of some of that on weekends. I don't know if Cordero Patterson happened to any of you this weekend.
Starting point is 00:06:08 It did. Seeing him in Pittsburgh. You still playing? In Pittsburgh, yes. I saw it in Pittsburgh. Winner. I was surprised. I was surprised.
Starting point is 00:06:16 It shouldn't happen to somebody in week three. It shouldn't be happening to me in week three. Andy Dalton should change his name to Red Rifle. You agree? Legally change his name. Why not? Just Red is his first name. You think anyone calls him Andy? Red is his first name.
Starting point is 00:06:32 I don't think anyone actually calls him Red Rifle. Get out of here. Everyone does. I don't believe in the locker room. They may call him. Joke's on you. I believe they may call him Red. I don't believe anyone in the locker room
Starting point is 00:06:44 is referring to him. Put it on the poll please, Juju. At Levit I don't believe anyone in the locker room is referring to him. Put it on the poll please, Juju, at LeBittard Show. Is anyone in the locker room referring to Andy Dalton as Red Rifle? Bryce Young, gotta be honest, yesterday, not a good look. A hook and ladder is the best play in football. If the season ended today, Sam Darnold would win MVP. Actually, co-MVP with Andy Dalton Brock Purdy blah blah blah Kyle
Starting point is 00:07:11 Shanahan blah blah blah one and two please Malik Willis revenge game Brandon Aubrey is a machine he made a 65 yard field goal look routine. Kicking a 50-yard field goal used to mean something. It did. Top five things in sports that used to mean something. Oh, wow. Number five, laying down a bunt. Number four.
Starting point is 00:07:41 This was the conversation, incidentally, every table at Greg Cody's party. Things that used to mean something? A party for old people made by young people who are also old in spirit. This conversation was happening everywhere on Saturday. Sorry I missed it. Number four. A mid-range jumper. Number three, the low post. Number two, a 50 yard field goal. Number one, baseball. Jason Garrett, lay off the hair dye. Really?
Starting point is 00:08:24 I mean, yeah, it's a lot. I'm sorry. Lay off the hair What Steve Spagnola does, spags. He dialed up some blitzes last night, Dan. He did, yes. It's amazing. You can't be the University of South Florida and play in Tampa. Yeah. It isn't the South, it is weird.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Can't do it. It's West, it's Northwest, it's not. Is Tampa even geographically like on the Southern half of the state It's just west to me like to me. It should just be West, Florida when I go to Tampa. I'm driving north, right? Yeah, a little bit north. Yeah a bit north very north. You're going so I live in South, Florida I'm driving north to get to the University of South, Florida. You're not a bit north You're very north, but you're barely in South Florida. Right, so you agree.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Good. I think I agree though, I don't know if Tampa, Roy, geographically do you believe that Tampa is, if we cut the state in half, would geographically Tampa be in the southern half of the state? They would have to be, would they not for it to be the University of South Florida? It would have to be. Yeah, but yeah, it's definitely midway in Florida. Well, the other part is that if you go to the northern, most northern parts of Florida, only bears live there. Human beings do not live in that gate.
Starting point is 00:09:54 It's unpopulated the entire- First Felica. It's south of Orlando. Yeah, but UCF was taken, right? So, I guess, but you can't go south Florida. You just can't. You gotta come up with something different. I'm with you. There's already a Florida Gulf Coast as well, so you can't go that way.
Starting point is 00:10:13 Right. The Steelers are 3-0, and I have no idea if they are good. I don't know. No, you know they're not, actually. You know they're not. Wow, that's a bold statement you know they're not, actually. You know they're not. That's a bold statement. But they're 3-0. Best defensive player in the league.
Starting point is 00:10:30 They've got a very good defense. They've got a good half a team. And a coach. And that's why they're 3-0. Yeah, maybe. But upside there. I mean, Fields starting to gain some confidence confidence that has first round playoff exit written All over it at nine and eight but playoff appearance. That's all the matters for him
Starting point is 00:10:52 No, but this is the thing though being the 12th the best playoff team. I'm still not sure you're good You're just healthier than everybody at but I think what Billy is saying is dealers you saying- Are you saying that about the Steelers or are you saying that about Tomlin? Right. You're not sure Tomlin's good? Because careful. Yes. I am sure that Tomlin's good because- But how can we be? If you're not sure if the team is good for being 9 and 8,
Starting point is 00:11:15 but you're sure that Tomlin's good for being 9 and 8 every year, how is that a thing? I will explain that. It's no problem at all to explain that. Mike Tomlin will be a Hall of Famer because he consistently goes 9 and 8 with teams I know aren't any good. Right. And has a Super all to explain that. Mike Tomlin will be a Hall of Famer because he consistently goes nine and eight with teams I know aren't any good. Right, and has a Super Bowl. And that. Well, that helps.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Well, he had a quarterback back then. No, but it helps all the other nine and eights. He never has a losing season. He's coached for 15 straight years in Pittsburgh. He hasn't had one losing season. Most of the teams he's had aren't good. That's how high, no, he's good and the teams aren't good. That's how I know it.
Starting point is 00:11:48 That's the way he likes it. It is the way he likes it. What Andy Dalton lacks in physical tools, he more than makes up for with guts and guile. I thought you were gonna go in rifle. What he doesn't have in tools, he has in rifle. Clemson, welcome back. Going into the witching hour, winning every bet,
Starting point is 00:12:10 only to then lose every bet, a tradition unlike any other. When Andy Dalton takes his rifle place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I will be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. Well, he will never have to be there. Well, he'll never have to be there because Andy Dalton will never be there in spirit or in human and any of the ways.
Starting point is 00:12:38 As a visitor. You hear those names, Sonny Jurgensen. Andy Dalton will have to pay full admission. He won't even get a discount to get into the hall. To attend. That's correct. That's not right, man. It is 100% accurate what I'm saying. Dan, I have to whisper this
Starting point is 00:12:59 because I don't want the football gods to hear me. I think I have a quarterback. I'm not sure. Be careful me. I think I have a quarterback. I'm not sure. Be careful. But I think I do. You have somebody who won't turn the ball over. I have a quarterback. I think.
Starting point is 00:13:14 You have someone who knows how to avert disasters is what you have. In today's game, that's a quarterback. You know what, I'll give you that. Thank you. USC, losing a game in which you gave up 32 yards passing. Welcome to the Big Ten. Michigan and Iowa, both combined, had less than 100 yards passing.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Both of them. You just said Michigan had 32 yards. Both of them won. Get that football out of my life forever it's big ten football if you agree to a Saturday night in Provo Utah and don't come out alive you have no one but yourself to blame video put on the screen please in picture and picture the single best play of the college football season that BYU punt return against Kansas State just put it that's provo that looked like something out of a video game the last the tacklers at the end Stu gots that were diving at that guy's knees and just landing like javelins

Do you remember who Ron Mexico is? It was Michael Vick's alias, was it not? But why did he need the alias? Because he carried a wizinator, I think? Well, that was the difference. That was Ontario Smith. I forget, I forget why.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Ontario Smith, I remembered that though. You like that? Not really, because you don't remember why it is that Michael Vick was named Ron Mexico. I believe there were reports of an STD involved around the alias. You believe, though, you don't remember why it is that Michael Vick was named Ron Mexico. I believe there were reports of an STD involved around the alias. You believe though, you don't know either. I'm pretty sure, well I know it's not

Weakened observations should not go longer than 17 minutes. It's football season, man. It was already extended to a ridiculous length.
Starting point is 00:22:41 It should be tighter than 17 minutes. That's fair criticism. You're right. Taylor. OK. Yeah, that's how that one is going to go every time. He doesn't get better. He continues to get sloppier. Segments were 12 minutes long.

Starting point is 00:27:15 I am so very tired of all the games looking like the Seahawks Dolphins game. And we're three weeks in. Where are you, Tony, on your top five? How you feeling about it? Dano, I'm feeling great out here at the Rickenbacker Causeway. Probably the best site in all of Miami right here. We're about probably to get kicked out from the Rickenbacker because there's construction,
Starting point is 00:27:36 so we're gonna make it quick. But since we didn't do a top five last week, we're gonna have a top 10, but we're gonna go fast this week, okay? All right, but stop calling me Dano and you do look like you're in front of a green screen. That looks fake. It doesn't. I don't believe that you're actually touch the ocean.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Prove it, Tony. It doesn't. It doesn't seem real. Okay. You're not in front of a green screen. That looks more real now. All right. Yes. This shot's better than we're. All right. Go ahead, Tony. All right. Number 10. So Arthur blank put himself into his own ring of honor. Okay. Just want to make sure. Okay. Well,
Starting point is 00:28:13 we already did that with Sturgatz weekend observations. That's all right. He's got it. The Rick, he can't hear me. It's totally different when you do it from the Rick and Bauer Cosmo. Number nine. I may have been slightly wrong about Anthony Richardson. when you do it from the Rickenbauer Cosmo. Number nine. I may have been slightly wrong about Anthony Richardson. He kind of stinks. One throw. Both of us.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Both of you, one throw. And the guy throws a 70 yard pass off his back foot and you guys like, can't. Number eight. Number eight, Justin Fields eye emoji. No, what? You're just throwing a bunch of these out there just so you can be right. Is it too early on Will Levins? Yes. Good.
Starting point is 00:28:52 No, come on. He does look good. No, I already I already ended Will Levins. I ended Will Levins last week. It's over number seven. Number seven, just like everyone had it through three weeks. Minnesota is the best team in football and Sam Darnold is your MVP. That was also in weekend observations, maybe we should have separated these a little bit.
Starting point is 00:29:11 Number six, what does that mean? Number six. Mahomes is playing sloppy, Kelsey is cooked, and they're starting a fullback who has a pet gator at running back. And yet, they're 3-0. Ah, the power of the zebras, Dan. I mean that pass interference call was blatant and then the one before that in the other game was terrible and then obviously what happened with the Ravens too, Chiefs are 3-0 but so are the zebras. Number five. Zebras, I like that. Somebody has to do something about the injuries. I don't know what's happening here. There's way too many injuries in football.
Starting point is 00:29:50 You have to stop playing the sport. That is the way to do it. Just stop playing on weekends. What happened? What do you mean what happened? Football happened. It's too hard on the human body and they're broiling them in boiled water. What do you mean? It's too hard Usually this happens like week 14 15 16, but week three everybody's out Did you see it was a it was a who is playing versus the Rams in the 49ers? I didn't know who was playing how on half the team
Starting point is 00:30:21 Number four shout out to Ethan. How do the Packers do it? Yeah, how yeah, I mean pass Ethan. How do the Packers do it? Yeah. How? Yeah, I mean pass rush. Doesn't matter the QB. Sure. Okay. Pass rush. Good defense. Sure.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Good running game. I guess. Great coach. Yeah. Okay. But the Billy's earlier boys, they're prepared when they're starting quarterback goes down. They have a backup. They do.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Well, to your point, Malik Willis looked like he grew more in two games in Green Bay than he did in two years They had a plan. They brought Malik Willis in like three days ago. They had a plan What's the plan? I mean it's a plan it worked cut him like two weeks ago. Yeah, well To it out with them Number number three guys. I'm sorry Miami Dolphins fans. Welcome to another decade of Number three guys, I'm sorry Miami Dolphins fans. Welcome to another decade of irrelevance Oh in your face right there Chris in your face Billy. He's another decade of irrelevance My face, he's a Patriots fan. I have fun with Drake That's not true. I'm a man. I'm a man of the shield stop that. He's a Jags fan. He's a football
Starting point is 00:31:21 How's that one going for him too? You picked the worst teams to follow. We're still waiting on that one. It's about the love of the game Billy you wouldn't understand. Number two, Canales had the wherewithal to make sure his offense actually worked and proved to everyone that Bryce Young was the problem all along. Yep. Did you see him fired up walking into the locker room Dan? He's got the wherewithal. Bryce young must have felt even smaller than he was He must have felt two inches tall like damn I cannot believe Andy Dalton is the first passer to throw for 300 yards and three touchdowns the NFL season and they benched my
Starting point is 00:31:58 Ass my bad. It was a timeout not a bench. What was the bit? You just go with the bit You just didn't get smaller video team has to be on the same... Getting smaller. Yeah. He has to pan down when he does that. Not out of the picture. He's doing squats. But you... I'm disappearing though. Yeah, but I've disappeared though.
Starting point is 00:32:13 That's how Bryce Young was. Two inches. That was planned. He was like, hold on. Disappeared. Okay. He was like, okay, hold on. Let me... All right. Anyways. So that was the plan. Number one.
Starting point is 00:32:22 That was the plan, yeah. That was the plan. Yeah. Danny was on his phone. That's why he didn't get me. Yeah number one Your camera man worried about the wrong Yeah, just to be clear your cameraman was on his phone And so he wasn't following you even though that was the plan just to be clear Yeah, all right good. Anything goes with the Rick there plan just to be clear. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:42 All right, good. Anything goes with the Rick, Darren. Number one, sorry to interrupt you. Number one, number one, Dan, Jerry Jones is worried about the wrong 8 and 1 half. The 8 and 1 half he should be worried about is the Cowboys over-unders and wins this season. That's Tony's top five from the Rick and Backer Cosway,
Starting point is 00:33:00 the real one. Yeah, that was uncomfortable there with Jerry Jones sort of talking about the... He just mimicked jumping in the water. We got excited like he was going to do it. But he didn't do it then. Yeah. Once you don't do it, and then just sit on the curb and your cameraman is bad, none of it works.
Starting point is 00:33:17 Oh, he's on his phone. He's on his phone. His defense. All right. Listening audience, a lot has changed over our 20 years together. One thing that hasn't? the great taste of Miller Lite. I think we're all saying the same thing. The only beer worth talking about is Miller Lite.
