Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Draft King's Network. What's behind a life electrified? What's lighting up our communities? Powering more carbon-free commutes? And boosting homegrown innovations? Its electricity generated right here at home. From renewable hydro to nuclear, our lowest carbon energy source. Ontario Power Generation is shaping the clean energy future by investing in Ontario
Starting point is 00:00:35 and electrifying life every day. See how at opg.com. This is the Don't Labator Show with the StugatSpotCas! For all of the hyperventilation and overreaction that you get on Mondays after footballs to God's, because everyone now is doing something they're calling overreaction Monday. All of the analysis will be irrelevant in December when some of the following happened. The Ravens were missing seven starters yesterday. It's week three. One of the top five quarterbacks taken was able to play yesterday. It's week three. Right. The game is obviously incredibly violent. These amazing bodies can only handle so much.
Starting point is 00:01:31 But one of the questions that I wanted to ask you, off of college football, I have had a long standing rule around here that I am not critical by name of college athletes because they're kids. Right. Deon Sanders said they're grown men in sound earlier. They're not yet grown men. They may look like grown men, but they're still kids and kids you are getting paid now.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Well, but this is what I want to ask you about because I know you want the free reign to say whatever you want about whomever. And till now, I was somebody who sat out the criticizing of college players by name because to me, the professional contract, which written into it, unwritten, but written into it, is the idea of you are going to come under an unholy amount of scrutiny that is going to criticize your every performance in a way that will on occasion feel personal. Should I be changing that now? Like I'll say a team isn't very good or units aren't very good, but I will not go after quarterbacks in college sports because where do you draw the line then Stu got's because
Starting point is 00:02:44 high school games are televised now Little league baseball games are televised. I can keep going younger and younger if you want me to on criticizing Kids by name once they get on broadcast television little league is too far you leave those kids alone I mean you don't give those kids a lot, but that's what's too far I'm not saying that's the line I'm just saying little league is one of those places you just don't go in terms of criticism. But I would have said college was a place you just don't go in terms of criticism, because I know what I was at 17, 18, 19 years old. Sam Hartman is 26 years old. I think
Starting point is 00:03:18 Bonyx can take it. Yeah. Certainly that 31 year old British kicker with three kids for Colorado state can handle it. Cam McCormick, you can take it. Nine and they get an older now dad. I understood, but I'm asking. Shricky COVID year. I'm asking you guys though a serious question. I know that Stugas wants the right to criticize whomever he wants, whenever he wants, but where
Starting point is 00:03:42 should the line be on this and should it change? Should I change my personal standard? Like Drake May is, looks like he's got professional skills, but he made a couple of horseshit throws in the last game that I saw him play in, like just bad decisions. You're criticizing a college kid, be careful. I'm asking you, I think maybe I should. I mean, Drake May is making a ton of money in NIL. If you want to rationalize it because by contracts, there
Starting point is 00:04:08 are NIL contracts. Now, they're not all, the vast majority of them are not at all predicated on, on play. And I guess you can have some incentive NIL bonuses, but Drake May is reputed to be one of, if not the top draft pick entering this NFL draft, we'll see if Caleb Williams decides to leave college or not. But Drake may, you can criticize Drake. May I, when it comes to college kids, I don't get on them the way that I would with the pros. But if Jeff Sims is playing poorly at quarterback, you can say Jeff Sims is bad at quarterback. How about Gabriel at Oklahoma? Cause he missed a couple of throws.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And again, he's been around forever. This is his second program. He was at UCF before. There was a highly, that was a highly touted NIL recruitment. He was supposed to be committed to UCLA and he decided to go last second. Oh, you, I think he's worthy of criticism. It feels more professional now than ever, right?
Starting point is 00:05:02 So it does, but the part though, the part that's tricky for me, right? Well it does but the part though the part that's tricky for me right because these are guys who are still learning how to play a very difficult position. Tell you what I think we work something out. Anytime you want to criticize a college football player run it by me I'll let you know if you're good or not. I know you want to make all the rules. It seems like he wants to go after little leakers. That's what it can Yeah, for me, that's going too far. You mentioned that, you, Instagots mentioned that, at Levitard show, should Mike Ryan make
Starting point is 00:05:30 all the rules for everybody. But what I was, and I'm always marveling at, is that the evolution and the precision of the people playing the position in college, or I'm sorry, in the prose, has made it so that when Gabriel misses a wide open receiver whose 30 or 40 yards down field by overthrowing him, I'm like, you bum, everybody makes that throw in professional football.
Starting point is 00:06:04 But of course, that's going to happen to a college kid. So if you're going after an individual play, I now know you took Oklahoma in this game. And if that's at the heart of your criticisms, I respect that. The sooner's in the Charlotte 49ers, what a weekend you had. I have a couple criticisms for Jackson Tart. I'd like to get off my
Starting point is 00:06:27 show. He's dead. Well, you thought that Alabama was going to collapse on itself and all of a sudden Alabama. They're back. I don't think they were back. They were. Back to back squeakers at Raymond James, the Indian home against Lane. No, no, no, win is not a win when you're Alabama. They won by two toddy's. Yeah, when you've been, that is beating Mississippi by two toddies. Right. When you're Alabama is not saying very much. We've gotten too far away from what happened on Thursday nights to God's because it is fairly amazing and doesn't get talked about enough that somebody playing that position, that well, who could have played it for 10 or 15 years, Andrew luck, just walked away.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Because he's like, yeah, not balanced, not healthy. None of this stuff that I have worked toward, eh, never mind. I'm going to leave hundreds of millions of dollars of future earnings and all future glory on the table. And I'll tell you what, Amazon, I'll come out dressed like a war general as a joke. He's got it figured out, man. Just to celebrate a Twitter account that makes it look like that, and God, that was funny. That he would have a sense of humor about that. I don't think it gets talked about enough that that guy just walked away because he's like, wow, It looked like that, and God, that was funny. That he would have a sense of humor about that.
Starting point is 00:07:45 I don't think it gets talked about enough that that guy just walked away because he's like, wow, deeply unhealthy football. I was asleep during the game. Like the last like four minutes, obviously it was a blowout, it wasn't close. I wake up and I see Andrew looking at a civil war cost, sorry, in a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I'm like, wait a second, what am I watching? It's kind of weird, right? Is it weird? I I mean, it's funny. Is it not what's weird about him having a sense of humor about? I mean, it was it's an inside joke. I tell you who it was weird for. Somebody who didn't know what he was doing. So if you're just watching football, you're like, what is it? Who is this guy? Somebody who has no contacts. Who it is? He takes off his, he takes off his war generals hat to show you the patchy hair he's had since he was 23 years old.
Starting point is 00:08:31 And you're like, wait a minute, this person was a dominant quarterback. What is he, what is he, what is It's always been doing it. And he was great at it too. But when you say weird, I would say that Andrew Luck must be weird to make the decision that he makes, that nobody makes, which is never mind about all this stuff where I get to play this position. He's currently an assistant coach on a high school team. Yeah, in the Bay Area. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Bain the sleep. We'll just stand for no cordon. Love being in Santa Clara, which in English translates into a St. Clear. You know, and I wasn't dressed up as anything. That was just first. It was just I just just beautiful night. Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:09:23 St. Clear. Make myself laugh. Just went into the dirty, dirty clothes hamper and that's what he found. He just threw it on. Combining trivia and cosplay. It's a deep, deep passion of mine. That's it.
Starting point is 00:09:40 The Vikings to God tips started O and three and a stat I saw that I was like, whoa, I can't win that way, even if you have the leading pass catcher in the sport by Yardage and the leading passer in the sport by Yardage, they've lost seven fumbles in nine quarters. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:09:59 They're the best O and three team of all time though, right? You've said that about them before. God, do I hate to charge charge you because it is having a season to i don't know what braiden say these problem is with my love branded white white white is braiden say lady made it personal with me no i love a man who knows every single eyeball is on him and everyone is questioning him and perhaps they should be questioning him but he knows everyone's watching he knows his jobs on the line he knows he's going to get criticized yet he goes forward on four down every single time i like that cutcy
Starting point is 00:10:36 what about mcdaniel doing it all the time because i heard from an awful lot of people when he did it is thirty five yard line and you could question the call certainly you got seventy of the fastest guys in the sport you're giving it to your yard line and you could question the call. Certainly you got 70 of the fastest guys in the sport. You're giving it to your full back. That's not exactly the way they're playing. But I do enjoy the consistency of my guy is going to have so much confidence. You got to Keenan Allen. How many games in a row does he have 15 catches in now?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Has there ever been a player who has started a season ever with 15 catches? Uh, Pukin'ekko. Uh, Pukin, a cool. That's two games. We'll find out tonight if he's healthy. I think Kenan is the only NFL player of all time that three games with 15 plus catches. There's also a fine line though between like I admire his consistently consistency and wow, this guy is stubborn and hardheaded and keeps, keeps, they keep winning in spite of bad decisions because they give them the ball back in a one score game
Starting point is 00:11:25 at the 24 yard line just because you wanted to do a thing and have you win a game because the other team threw an interception that you could have lost, like, that's not great. Well, you say winning in spite of him, but they're not winning in spite of him. They won that game in spite of him. He would have gone fired, right?
Starting point is 00:11:41 If they lost that game, they lost with that call. Had they lost that game, do you think you would have gone fired? That's early. Because I didn't know. I had the chargers they covered. I also had them in the bucket of death and I survived, but part of me, a large part of me, was rooting for Minnesota in that moment, just so I can get this guy the hell out of my life. He is so bad. And also, why would you say up for Steelers Raiders? That garbage, but did you watch what Josh McDaniels
Starting point is 00:12:08 did at the end of that game? Did you watch what he did? If you wanna talk about gonads and late game situations, it was two minutes in change, he's down eight. He kicks a field goal, like a chip shot, 20 yard field goal. That's a four. He's down eight.
Starting point is 00:12:23 Three time outs. Steelers plus two. I had the readers! What is that? Why did he do that? What is the explanation for that? He's got no. I am baffled.
Starting point is 00:12:36 I can't explain it. He loves their on-side kick unit. He's confident. Something that we worked really hard in training camp was, I make a terrible decision and then I trust my handstand.

Starting point is 00:14:04 This is the Don Lebert show with this two cats. [♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Two cats is weekend observations coming up a little bit later in this hour. Next segment, as a matter of fact, you may have heard Taylor Swift attended a football game yesterday. It was wildly overcovered. She wildly overreacted to the least interesting touchdown of Travis Kelsey's career. She is an awkward clapper. Be very careful with this path that you're going down to. Let my boy cook. Hold on, hold on, hold on. My boy cook. Be careful. I care about you. I don't want
Starting point is 00:14:42 you to get what's coming your way. Jared Payton, a former University of Miami football player and former NFL player. What does he have to do with it? Was filming them as they walked through the bowels of the stadium. We will see that video. Now, no one is crediting him for the video. We saw the power couple making their way out of the stadium. I don't know the Travis Kelsey knows what he's got in himself into. They're not going to be able to go anywhere. And Travis Kelsey had a look at Jared Peyton. An unhappy look of being caught walking through this area. He does not look happy, Chris Cody. That is not that is that is a man that is like, oh good, this is gonna get out.
Starting point is 00:15:25 Yeah, you're under the impression that he wants privacy in this as he's leaving the stadium in a convertible in Kansas City with Taylor Swift sitting by his side. Love Travis Dan, you cannot get mad at anyone for filming that. You bring Taylor Swift to a game and people are gonna roll on their phones.
Starting point is 00:15:42 I mean, that's I understand. That's the way and he looks pleased with himself. He does. Okay, I'm looking at a still shot of Travis Kelsey and he is giving a side eye. He does not look happy. But let's just take the context. You don't think that he recognizes the 2004 Orange Bull MVP
Starting point is 00:15:59 when he sees him? Yeah. Put back on the screen, please, video, this still shot just so that I can analyze it without any context. I tell you right now That this human being you have no information about this human being except this photo That mustash that chain and that outfit and that haircut Taylor Swift cannot be dating that It's a terror Swift inspired outfit just FYI exactly. It's a terrorist who have inspired outfit, just FYI. Exactly. It is?
Starting point is 00:16:26 It is, yeah. And the company that makes it relabeled at the 1989, whatever the name of it was before, and I'm sure that it's going to sell up very quickly. You tell me hard. You tell me, yes, I mean, he, sorry, I said it. That, okay. Well, you told me to back off.
Starting point is 00:16:41 And now, look at him and give me some context for it. Like I am not somebody who can be criticizing anybody's look on anything. But you have a confidence that I do not have if you're putting on that outfit and you think anyone can look good. Well, man, maybe you should consider putting on that outfit. I mean, the Kelsey's just roll into the sports podcast space and they start kicking our ass. You either need to start dressing like that
Starting point is 00:17:10 or dating Taylor Swift. Kicking our ass and now they have Taylor Swift. While she is an awkward clapper, I didn't see that till just now. I saw it on Get Up, they were showing her. It's like, she gets the elbows out, it's awkward. Love of God. This guy's just making it look easy.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And by the way, that look that he's giving Jared Payton is your welcome, your's awkward. Love of God. This guy's just making it look easy. And by the way, that look that he's giving Jared Payton is, you're welcome. Your Twitter's about to blow up. Yep, and I'm the man. And also, weren't you the 2004 Orange Bull MVP? Right, that one. Brock Berlin never lost a Florida stay.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Or Florida. I want you guys, again, not Travis Kelsey, not touchdown catcher, just someone who looks like that. The mustache, the chains. It looks like a Quentin Tarantino character that he wrote for a legacy actor in a stark departure from how we know them. Or Matt Dillon from Something's About Mary, right? Close.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Close. Something. I added an S. You do that when you get older. It happens. That's a non-place to put it up. Close something about me. I added an ass. You do that when you get older That's a non-place to put it up something Something's about Mary you made it for words. You made the title of it like you That is an odd place to do that but
Starting point is 00:18:28 Something about Mary Matt Dylan had giant fake teeth. Did he not? Yes. Chicklets. Taylor Swift, if she comes to your football game, I, I'll tell you what my observation was on that. My observation was given and they must be dating longer than I've known them to be dating because I thought that was an over-enthusiasm for someone whose family you might be around for the first time. I thought all of that was... Well, no, you have to fake. That's when you have to overact. The first time meeting Mama Kelsey, you have to be the biggest fan. Any chance after the game, Mama Kelsey tells Travis that, don't like her.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Fails the mom test? I knew she was trouble when she walked in. How do we feel about them? The exit, that walk that they do. There's no contact. they're not holding, they're clearly not holding hands. Thank you. There's no, I thought maybe she'd at least have her arm
Starting point is 00:19:10 like grabbing his arm. Wait, wait, wait, can we run it back? There might be an arm grabbing that quickly goes away once they realize, oh crap, it's a 2004, Orange Bull MVP. I see this thing. I see no contact. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Okay, hang on, turn in the corner. I think she moved away. She moves away. She's got her arm back. Her right arm is back in a position to grab his arm for sure, but I don't see any contact fellas. This is a pro. We're dealing with a real pro here.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Look at the security guard behind them, not looking at them. What a pro right there that guy is. That guy's doing a great job. Like that guy is just looking at him, not even staring. Billy, what are you saying thank you too? What do you, it seems like you want to get in here with commentary, but you're all also afraid of the Swifties? Absolutely, yeah, no, I don't want to say anything
Starting point is 00:19:55 on the record as myself. I'm just here to kind of throw things from the shadows. I will say this though, I didn't get the feeling that there was love there. Oh my God. Yeah, I had my winners and losers as the weekday on a godless football this morning, and I wanted Taylor Swift as a winner, spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I won't give you the rest. I wanted to put love as a winner, but I couldn't decide if love was a winner or a loser this week, so it had to be off of the board of the winners and losers of week three, because I still don't know if there's love there or not. It's weird. It's a weird dynamic.
Starting point is 00:20:21 I'm not sure what's going on. He looks like a hostage, I said it. There's something going on there. I agree with Billy. It feels a little bit too odd'm not sure what's going on. He looks like a hostage. I said it. There's something going on there I agree with Billy It feels a little bit too odd like it's too perfect though. We're gonna be in there celebrating cheering It's 40 to nothing. We don't know what's happening. It's great and then after that No hand you could see when he walks by empty hands on both sides got a water bottle and empty hand Yeah, I don't like it this feels stupid to about, but this is how we capitalize on the algorithm, which is why every major media entity posted this stuff. But it also made
Starting point is 00:20:49 me realize, like, how much cooler NBA media is than the NFL's media? Because they have big stars coming to every game. Court side doesn't matter. As gigantic as Taylor Swift in the Beyonce realm, Rihanna, Courtside, and nothing about it. Everyone acts normal like it happens every day. Taylor Swift shows up and Albert Breer starts losing his mind. Well, but dating is part of it, too, though. We don't know if they're dating. No, it was all confirmed beforehand.
Starting point is 00:21:17 Up in the air, yeah. It's not up in the air anymore. He confirmed it. No. His brother said jokes, sir. Yeah. You know what I mean? Brother confirmed it and she showed up and she was rooting for the chief.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I think her showing up is the biggest confirmation. No, no. Oh, okay. I mean publicity stunt. So, downwind, publicity stunt. It does seem like if I can just analyze there real heart and feelings here
Starting point is 00:21:40 without knowing either of them, it seems like Kelsey's just in this for the PR. Wow. I feel like Taylor Swift is genuinely looking for love. She's in love, yeah. I seems like Kelsey's just in this for the PR. Like I feel like Taylor Swift is genuinely looking for love. She's in love, yeah. I feel like Kelsey is just like, this would be really good for me
Starting point is 00:21:50 if I date her for a month or two. Wow. Juju, first of all, this is reckless. All of this is reckless. It's unfair to everybody involved. What's unfair to us with her doing? I'm too far away, don't you're an holistic credibility and get reckless.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Here is something we like to call red glaze speculation. We're all good. He's not in for the right reasons. I like that for him though. He goes in, he absorbs a bigger crowd than he would if he was just playing football. All of a sudden now he's on every commercial. I've seen one 70 commercials the last three days. It's good for him. No, it's not. Not when it ends. It's not good for him.
Starting point is 00:22:24 It's very bad. This is very poorly thought out. Why does it hurt? Why does it have to end? Oh. It's good for him. No, it's not. Not when it ends. It's not good for him. It's very bad. This is very poorly thought out. Why does it have to end? Why does it have to end? Oh, it's going to end. It's going to end. Yeah, come on.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Dan, it always ends. But it doesn't. It doesn't follow either of their careers. It always ends. You could tell when a couple walks by Dan, you can tell if it's going to live. Right. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:22:40 He gets it. This guy gets it. You can just tell. It's just. I did not know before today. And I'm thankful that you guys are here that we have in the back row Four most authorities on all love Dan when you and Valerie walk by I'm like forever. Yeah, it's a love story Just say yes, they're married though Well not anymore because day and has to start dating Taylor Swift. Sorry, Dan. I have to start wearing that
Starting point is 00:23:01 to start dating Taylor Swift. Sorry, Dan. I have to start wearing that outfit. You have to dress like an asshole and date Taylor Swift. This is how we grow. Asshole strong. I like his words. Tony, I like where your head's at. You're already headed the game when it comes to one of those things.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Now you need to start dating Taylor Swift. Put it on the poll, please, at Levitard show, Jude, do someone on the show have to start dating Taylor Swift to keep up with the Kelsey's? You can't go bigger, right? I mean, that's really hard. I could start dating Messi.
Starting point is 00:23:33 You should. That's where an affair. I'll get some eyes back. I'm torn affair with Leon L. Messi. That would be scandalous. That would be international. It would reach throughout the globe for so many different reasons. And oddly enough, Stu wouldn't care.
Starting point is 00:23:48 No. He'd still say soccer is boring. Soccer is dead. He would refuse to go to the games with you as you chewed a cheered-on little messy because he hates soccer. What's messy up to these days? A fatigue. Unless there was an appearance fee. He's played like three games. We hasn't. I want to for a moment before we get to weekend observations. There were just three things from baseball that I loved for different reasons over the course of the last few days, Stugans. One of them was Miguel Rojas, and I love that baseball is doing this. They're miking up the players for sound and talking to them during the game.
Starting point is 00:24:32 It's great. And the ball was hit to Miguel Rojas and he apologized after grabbing the ground ball and before throwing it. Sorry, guys, have to just make this play right here while he's still holding the ball. This isn't helping baseball though. It's proving that you can multitask while playing baseball. Yeah, you it was the second guys. It was pretty cool to see and I like the access. That's not like much of the contractually obligated appearances for players and coaches.
Starting point is 00:25:01 That right there is not the illusion of access. That's real access where you're closer to the player than you've ever been. But also during a Phillies game, a pitcher named Orion Kirkering made his debut and they kept showing his dad in the stands and the guy was sobbing the entire inning. His father was sobbing the whole inning and they kept showing his dad as the kid pitched and it was super moving. And then the third thing I saw, Kirkering, yes. The third thing I saw, which was just great, is Miguel Cabrera is making his farewell tour around the big leagues and the cheap ass
Starting point is 00:25:45 Oakland A's who have no money gave him a $90 bottle of wine. Now a $90 bottle of wine for the rest of us is it's a nice bottle of wine. I think for the A's it's nice. Is that like a thing because baseball like the bases are 90 feet apart maybe they were doing a thing? Kidness is a nice bottle by the way. I think that's what they have in the budget. I think it was just they don't have any money. How do we give off class when we don't know how to give off class? And we don't, it's such a good sleuth, the person who looked it up on the internet. I was like, look at the edge,
Starting point is 00:26:19 you gotta go more than that. It's a farewell gift to a guy with 3,000 eggs. Like what's the price that would have, you would have been happy with what price? Not $90. So I first came to Edward Jones with a great deal of trepidation when I first met with my advisor. And I really was feeling vulnerable about what I would have to share. I was, of course, pleasantly surprised
Starting point is 00:26:44 to find that there was absolutely no judgment and a lot of support. And when it was time to get serious, he really took my hand and helped me to do that.

Starting point is 00:27:44 Roy brings up a point though. all the life experiences like I could go skydiving, a rocky mountain climbing. Still gots. Roy brings up a point though. Like Roy does bring up a point like you might be risking paralysis and that's a totally correct. Just totally a triangle might be. But like what if God forbid it's like you're gonna die in the go-go? What if it says a week though like or two days or a month?
Starting point is 00:27:59 I don't want to know that. Well then you just love deeper and speak sweeter and give forgiveness to those that you've been denying. Some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying. Do you have more or is that it? No, thank you guys for letting me go through that smoothly. This is the Don Lebatar Show with this two gods. In this time for us two guys to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy's stew weekend observations. Oh, excuse me.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Oh, like coming out of a timeout. That was the entire weekend. Like coming out of a timeout with 10 players. I know. I mean, we just I should have got that player out of my throat. We just took a break. Yeah, can we start again? Nope, I mean just can we start again within the same now anyway, we can observations brought to you by Miller light Great taste 96 calories available for delivery
Starting point is 00:29:00 Then Just when you start to think you've seen the last of him, it means a new beginning is right around the corner. And that's exactly what happened yesterday. He was good, but not good enough to win. And that's okay because Dan, after going 34 58 for 361 yards to touchdowns no interceptions plus two gutsy runs for 11 yards and giving his team a chance to win the game which is all you can ask for make no mistake about it for the 17th time here on weekend observation more than anybody more than anyone. Now the Cain's are one and this person is number two. The Cain's are back.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Yes. And that's number one. I think he may have passed them. Go ahead, I'm sorry. Andy Dalton is back. The red rifle. Thank you. Yeah, I'm counting you out.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Had you know that was coming. Because you've done it so many times. Speaking of back, back Alabama the tide Allegian Airlines I pay $70 for a carry-on would it kill you to have internet service? I had no idea blue halts was still lurking around Blue halts absolutely looks like a guy who lurks around Right? Yes, Dan. You know what what the Allen Lou Holt stands for lurk Wow
Starting point is 00:30:29 Lurking around but close enough in the ballpark. Sorry dad. I'd like to know where Lou Holt's is right now He's just taunting an 86 year old man. What do you say about our team? What do you say about our team? What do you say about our team? Ha ha ha. Death. I cannot believe. Taxes. And the angel shutting down Mike Traut for the season.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Trautie. Deon Sanders. Hot seat. Bone nicks. Aging like a fine wine. I'm guessing 60 minutes won't be traveling to Eugene to do a piece on Dan Laning. Hahaha.
Starting point is 00:31:12 Joke. Hahaha. Yeah, you'd object to it though, because you want more world leaders on 60 minutes. Hahaha, I did. You'd watch 60 minutes if all they did was interview college football coaches. Hahaha. You're right. Why if all they did was interview college football coaches.
Starting point is 00:31:31 You're right. Why am I objecting to that? I don't know. The strangest things you've ever said. Dan landing is a great name. It is. The clock is ticking. It's the end of your Sunday. 60 minutes. Dan landing. Coming up next. An interview with the coach. Oh, took out the coach that we interviewed last week. Bo-Nex, firmly entrenched in the conversation. Father time is no match for Bo-Nex. I'm not sure if he's going to be there forever. Where? I think he is. It's not Oregon somewhere else there.
Starting point is 00:32:03 That's not there that he was there before. Florida State surviving advance the Knowles, Keon Coleman, Sundays, collision course, Dan Laning, saying they play for clicks
Starting point is 00:32:19 and we play for wins while giving the media full access and knowing full well. How many clicks his speech was going to get? Dan Laning, the Stugots, is so very strong in you. It's a funny name. Dan Laning. And there's something about that coming up next on 60 minutes, our exclusive interview with Dan Laning. Deon Sanders media pressure to bench his son, collision course in the history of sports.
Starting point is 00:32:53 No one has ever looked better while losing than Sam Hartman. Did you see him on the sidelines? Oh my God. I thought Marcus Freeman gave him a run for his money. I mean, no, no, no, no, while losing. I didn't even think about Freeman. It's such a bad job. Terrible. Just me or something, just a little bit off in Athens, Georgia.
Starting point is 00:33:23 They were down 14 to 3 and a half the other day to South Carolina. They were tied in that second quarter with UAB-77. It's just you. I think Mike agrees. Just a little off. Mike cost him. That's what happens when Stetson Bennett finally finishes Med School. Keenan Allen. Do it in the end zone Score touch that he scored two touchdowns last week Did you have him to score touchdown did Andrew Beck could scoot
Starting point is 00:34:02 Andrew Beck could scoot It was crazy it was crazy it was crazy it was strange I thought it was a pick a a fumble picked up for the defense and then I was like wait a second It was a kickoff Tony might you have to capitulate like the jack close close on Tony's top five We'll talk about it. Is it that the jacks look bad or the Texans look good? We'll talk about it. Is it that the Jags look bad or the Texans look good? Huh dude that that all right question Trevor Lawrence was not supposed to look like this this season He was supposed to take yet another step I mean CJ Stroud looks I mean he's getting pressure and he still looks good Yeah, all of the AFC teams are crumbling except the dolphins and I like it. Oh, and here's the other thing
Starting point is 00:34:42 Yeah, no the chiefs look like they were crumbling yesterday and the bills look pretty good Tennessee Not the same. Welcome to the end of the Tana Hill thing that we lived several years ago here in Miami You're sitting duck and New York Jets to God's possibly welcome to the Tana Hill thing that they've been experiencing Down here in Nashville. I'll take it Honestly, I might I would you could win the AMC here in Nashville. I'll take it. Honestly, I might, you could win the AMC. The AMC, not just the E's, the AMC. The AMC with 10L. Dan, the most shocking thing to come out of the Dolphins Broncos game is that a team from the 50s, led by Norm Van Brocklin. Got more yards in a game than the dolphins did. When I saw that, because I saw dolphins,
Starting point is 00:35:28 second most yards in a game, I was scrolling, I was thinking to myself, the ramps with Kurt Warner, the chargers with Don Coriella and Dan Fowles. Norm Van Brocklin, I wish I had video of that game to see how different those 800 yards look. There's somebody who's laid for his plumbing job in the second quarter trying to make a tackle in the secondary. So I'm gonna cigarette you have someone rushing for like 640 yards. I don't know what it was but I sure you it didn't look like what yesterday looked like. That's incredible.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I would love to see it on ESPN class. A jet fans teeth fell out during the game. I hate them. My Ami Dolphins, the rare game where a team would have covered even if the line was minus 49. Dan, you know what the D in Ryan Day stands for? I do not. Die job. Sean Peyton, hot seat, Josh McDaniels, hot seat, Matt Eber Fluss, whoever you are and whatever your name is, hot seat, hey Ohio State, do it against Oregon, hey Oregon, do it against
Starting point is 00:36:42 Washington, hey Washington, do it against Alabama. Penn State on behalf of an entire nation. Thank you. How good is Washington? I don't know. I think they're pretty good. Penex is throwing a deep on 25% of his attempts. Love watching. Yeah, Penex. You didn't know Penex was in Washington. Washington. Yeah. Yeah, you didn't know Penox was in love. Penox is watching too. Yeah, that's it. That's your last year. Yeah, Penox. You're kidding me. I remember him in Indiana like six years ago. That's in the conversation too. He's great.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Yeah. Did you hear the stat Mike just gave? No. One of every four passes is him just throwing it 40 yards. Impressively, Tyler Van Dyke is throwing a touchdown on 10% of his passes. One out of every 10 balls that leave Tyler Van Dyke's hands goes for a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:37:26 You can make the argument, I think, mathematically, that the dolphin scored a touchdown every four minutes of action yesterday. Ha ha ha ha ha. I'll trust you like that. I'm close. Ryan Day. No one has ever cared about anything Lou Holtz has said
Starting point is 00:37:44 as much as you did on Saturday night Patriots Farrow Brown great name top five athletes that can know Egypt. Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh, I am one. I'm not sure you've been paying attention to the things Lou Holtz has been saying since leaving the SPN because plenty of people have cared. I know't know he was lurking around. I'm sorry, I haven't been paying attention to the Republican National Convention. No.
Starting point is 00:38:11 But you want more world leaders on 60 minutes. I do. Top five names, Kenoma. Oh, I have one. Egypt, O.L.I. Amani Tumor. Number five, Farrow Brown. O.L.I. I'm on e-tumor. Number 5. Farrow Brown.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Number 4. Cleo Lemon. Number 3. Nile Digs. Thank you. Number 2. Appreciate it to look. How mummy.
Starting point is 00:38:38 How mummy. I miss how mummy. Sorry, I was busy googling Lou Holdt Hitler. Oh no Number one Miguel Cairo No, I'm on Ross St. Brown. Sorry come on my list. Here come the royals No, what are you talking about here come the Royal six straight? I think you're talking about
Starting point is 00:39:04 They've lost 175 games, but here they come The Tennessee Titans did what the Tennessee Titans do What Trevor Lawrence good will never be great. What are the Titans make that big sense? They win one. They lose one. They win one. They lose one. They win games They're not supposed to win. They lose games are not supposed to lose They were not what they do they're confusing. We're an underdog. I tired of them historically They always do well as an underdog By the way, everyone should have saved the Dishon Watson Criticisms till after they played the worst secondary in the league
Starting point is 00:39:41 We should like Nick right amena you got to look at the schedule and realize oh this could look bad right away I asked a flight attendant on a Legion Airlines if my plane had internet her response oh no dear we don't have anything Should be their motto oh no dear. We don't have anything College game day. Hope you enjoyed Boulder. Unless any of you plan on vacationing there, you won't be seeing it again for at least two years. Big noon Saturday, gonna be at Boulder.
Starting point is 00:40:15 College game day though. Nine AM start. Unclaimed assets in the subject line is always a tough email for me not to open. So tempting. Russell Wilson, the rare 300 yard passing day, combined with scoring 20 points, and still losing by 50. It's hard to do, really is.
Starting point is 00:40:41 I hope Caleb Williams likes New York, Miami Dolphins, the rare 70 burger with a side of holy shit. Ryan Clark should have to apologize to Tuwa once a week. Devon A. Kane is the reason running back. We'll never get paid. A. Kane, I'm sorry. That's the reason though.
Starting point is 00:41:03 We'll figure out a cure for cancer before we figure out the Tennessee Titans Put it on the pole, you do will we figure out a cure to cancer before we figure out the Titan? What I would not give to have Joshua Dobbs as my quarterback Sean Peyton is doing the impossible. He's making the Daniel Hackett look like a genius. Kirk Cousins is having a season. Megan Rapinoe, tip of the cap. Also, soccer is dead. Amazing, the mentalist. Or as I like to call them, contortionist, didn't predict Aaron Rogers would tear as a killies and the jet season would
Starting point is 00:41:46 go straight to hell. Speaking of hell, or prials. Dan, those are the weekend observation.
