This is the Dan Levator show with the Stucats podcast. Mina Kimes will be here shortly. We look forward to all of her help during the football season.

She'll be around here plenty. Pitch clock is again segregated on our show. It exists apart from our show. but adjacent to our show, we continue to segregate baseball. Pitch clock will be in the postgame today, and Juju will be joining us here shortly to update the polls. I want to ask both Juju and Mina about their best friend situation, but I will tell the group here when I tell you that Zaslo is a rising star at ESPN and ESPN Radio, he has been taunting. Amber Wilson, his longtime co-host here locally, with pictures of the source.

sweets he gets on the road now that he's traveling with college football every year. He's been taunting her with, look at how, not only first class flights, somehow, somehow, Zaslo's getting sweets at ESPN, and I will tell you, I got no sweets at ESPN. I don't know how

Zaslo is getting sweets. I would be on these stops late in the season. It could be in, you know, it was in Norman Oklahoma, I was in Tuscaloosa, it was in Atlanta, the SEC championship. I hear Oklahoma is the worst. I mean, it was fine.

I wouldn't say it was the worst. I didn't like Baton Rouge. I was not a big fan of Baton Rouge. Everyone, though, says that you got to go to a night game there in Death Valley. I do have a stop there this year. I'm hoping it's a night game. But, yes, first class tomorrow morning, all right? I'll be flying to Columbus and looking forward to the suite that I get.

That's right. Amberden, believe me last year, when I'm getting, I get to my room, she gets to her room. She's in a regular room. That's all great. I get to them. There's a living area. There's a kitchen. One of these, it had a full table with ten chairs.

Oh, I'm not expecting any guests, but if I wanted a guest, they can come over and hang. A dinner party. You could have a dinner party at that Radisson Inn. And then in another room was my bedroom. And she didn't believe me. I was like, oh, you don't believe it? I sent her pictures. She's in her nice little studio.

And I can have a party if I feel like it. He's a rising star. That's how I rule. You can get him all over your weekend coverage. on ESPN Radio. 10 a.m. Eastern Time. ESPN Radio, Saturday morning, college football tailgate. He is not, however, as big a star at ESPN as Mina Kimes is. Mina, do you get a suite when you travel on the road?

Because I've never gotten a suite at ESPN. I can't believe that Zaslo's out here getting sweets. And I'd have the follow-up question. Any of those hotels, did the hotel lobby smell like chlorine because the pool is indoors? I don't think so. Okay, so you're getting good. You're getting good hotels? Mina, do you have any sweets? Do you get sweets when you travel on the road?

No. Sweets? Like, you mean like a hotel suite, not like a little tree? Yeah, not a cookie at the double tree. I'm talking about an actual, they don't do it anymore. No. We're not with ESPN anymore because you kick Billy out of the studio so you can rip on Trump and ESPN.

I kicked Mina out of the studio that day too. It was really Nick Wright. fault if we're going to dissect the entire thing. He wouldn't have gone on Twitter that morning. We would have been in a different world. If you guys are deciding between hotels and one of them is a double tree, would you book the double tree solely for the

free cookie, even though you buy a cookie somewhere else? Great question. Put it on the poll, please. At Lebitard show. If you're choosing between the hotel is the double tree cookie, the tiebreaker. I love that hot drawer. I'm in a double tree next weekend, actually. I'll let you know.

Mina, we want to play for you here. Greg Cody getting furious with us earlier this week. I want to get your assessment here of what happened. Who's right and who's wrong in the raging fury between Greg Cody and his son, Christopher. What are you? Oh, no! They're going to be elbows grabbed. They're going to be elbows grabbed.

He's furious. Don't say anything about it. I'm serious. I want my laptop back. I'm not the least bit. amused by this. I'm not kidding in how angry I am. I'm going to send them both to the penalty box. I'm not going to the penalty box. I want my computer right here before I do anything.

No, I'm not going to the penalty box until I get my computer right here. You can bring it to me. This is fine. This is good... No, you can bring it to me. Craig, you're going to stop that now. No. I'm not. You're going to stop that now. No, I'm not. I'll leave. I'll go home if you want me to with my laptop. But I am not going in the penalty box until my laptop is connected to my computer. My son is, this is not your fault. My son has gone over the line here.

I am genuinely upset. We know. Okay. So how about make it right? Christopher, if I don't have that computer here in three minutes, I am not hosting the draft party Thursday night. Put the clock up on the screen. Please, do it.

I cannot express you how serious I am about Thursday night. Don't hold your heart, all right? Yeah, I'm scared me. No. On my life. Greg. I am not hosting this draft party Thursday night. I've never been more angry connected with this show.

Anybody who thinks that's me is an idiot. On my granddaughter's life, on my granddaughter's life, I am not hosting this rap party unless I have that computer. Whatever number he said will not be where the dog is going to be. Wait a minute. Oh, wait, now the number's changing? Maybe. Oh, no.

Depending on how accurate he was. Mina, the context was he was mad that we were going to expose before it appeared in the Miami Harold where he ranked the Miami Dolphins for the season. Where did you rank them? Now I'm titillated. Well, it was 14, but when I said the number 14, just guessing, he was like, I need to change it. So he made it 15.

Wow. Wait, so is the, Greg, are you upset because of you're afraid of invoking the ire of the fans or because you perceive this to be like an exclusive? Yes. Greg's not here, Mina. Oh, sorry. That's a video. That's how television works sometimes.

We could have set it up. Maybe she thought it was a reenactment. It's really confusing, honestly, because the video does look like it's happening today. 14 seems fair. That seems pretty generous. Not what I was asking you. Not surprising that that's what you decided to answer. Yeah, we established a set up.

My only takeaway from that video is that watching Greg discipline or try to discipline, Chris, is just exactly how I treat my toddler. I'm glad to know that's not going to change for 25 years. What would be your assessment as a parent on Zaslow's home situation where his 16-year-old texts him and calls him sugar tits by way of dismissal? Is this a 16-year-old boy or a 16-year-old girl? Boy. Okay. Yeah, he has no respect for you.

Well, how would your answer have changed if I said it was my daughter? I would have said that's funny. Mike Ryan threatened to kill ESPN yesterday if they break into college football coverage to show anything regarding the big dumper. Oh, wow. Look, I know we love our M's, all right? I know you love Cal Raleigh. I love them too. You're on my Mariners group chat.

I let you into the circle. I'm following the story. I'm all about big dumper. I hated when Aaron Judge did this. And ESPN wanted to interrupt AAC football for an Aaron Judge record that's not the record. It's not a thing. Stop making the AL Home Run record a thing. It's not a thing.

Now, I understand. Yankees branding, that's the argument. There's no way in hell they do this for the Mariners. No shot. And if they do, I'm going to kill him. Well, Cal's only at, what, 50 now? so I feel like there wouldn't I mean he has a few records to break I think switch hitter is up next Mickey Mantle 54 and then he can break Griffey's

franchise record these aren't records remember what 50s to mean something you just said only 50 she did say only 50 what a world we live only 50 not a record I just mean I don't think he's going to get the cut in until he gets to 61 if he gets there and then he probably will but I probably won't. You're right, because it's the Mariners. Although we've been doing Mariners three days in a row on PTI, which I feel like is the most that ESPN has talked about the Mariners in probably since Griffey. How much PTI have you done? I didn't know you were on PTI. When did you start doing that? I literally have never seen you on PTI.

That's because it's on ESPN, too. The deuce. It's her on the Iceman. Yeah, with the Iceman. Because tennis is on ESPN one. So I get the call up for, you know, the B team. show. Let's be abundantly clear and I'd love a judge's ruling on this. Okay. There is one single season home run record. It's 73. Yeah. Hold on a second. Hold on. He's a lawyer. He's a judge. He's a race expert. Kind of undercut it by answering it. Yeah, he already answered. He already made

his ruling. That sort of defeats what's happening right now. He forgot he was a judge. Yeah, he forgot he was a judge. You forgot we'd do a segment with a judge. See, the whole, if Cal gets to 61, right? Let's just say. It seems a little bit. I think he's on pace for a little less than that. I'm going to be really torn because I don't want to be one of those, you know, old traditionalists. The drug-tainted records don't count. This is pure baseball. But if it's Cal Raleigh, I'm going to say those tainted records don't count. This is a true baseball player. But only if it's Cal Rale. I wasn't doing that for Aaron Judge. The record is 73. drugs in baseball

are good. Forgivable. Forgivable. I'm with you, unless Cal gets there and then I'm against you. I also think there is a great danger based on everything that we've just done is that someone in accounting realizes

that says isn't supposed to get a sweet, that he's getting a suite, that he's not supposed to get. Yo, chill on that. Keep that down low. What's matter with you?

You look like you're about to ask me to, like, check the oil on my car. Or, like, come over and, like, look around and point things in my house that need to be fixed.

This is the Dan Levitar show with the Stugats. I want to play something. Someone else is blowing up. You may have noticed here that Pablo Torre. is very proud of his New York Times partnership. Meena, I want to get your thoughts here on Pablo's debut video here promising the New York Times and its readers what they're going to get from Pablo. He's already wearing a New York Times shirt.

Get your thoughts here. Okay. Hello, Pablo Torre here. Host of Pablo Torre finds out. Now coming to you from our new home at the Athletic and the New York Times, where we will use our brand of Murrow Award winning and Peabody nominated. journalism to investigate mysteries. It gets back to the ultimate question that we've been asking as it relates to this document. Why?

Basically, we're a sports podcast in the same way that Moneyball is a baseball book, meaning that we tell you stories that are about a lot more than just the game. If you show me a ring cam video with you. Oh, Pablo, what the fuck? Pablo, what the f***? This is crazy. Pablo, what the f***? I don't understand what podcast is here.

Is this Truman Show? What is this? What's going on? We do interviews that will make you think. She's fearless in those moments. I always joke that sort of hated me as a teammate. And laugh. But through all the pain. And hopefully both.

I mean, boom, that's hard. And it is. So three times a week, follow us down the rabbit hole that Pablo Torre finds out. You can watch your listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. Can we call a coronizer? He says a hamburger a lot. I don't know if I've ever felt the feeling that I'm feeling right now. Love you.

a lot of thoughts a lot of thoughts first dan and i despite doing dozens of episodes didn't make the sizzle real don't know if you noticed that dan if you caught that you and i not featured at all there uh he compared himself to moneyball at one point did anyone else catch that basically self to moneyball uh the t-shirt i feel like pablo works out in a harvard shirt and then it's like oh this old thing it was just laying around in my in my in my closet. Four, I'm very excited for him because he's my friend. I think they're going to do a great job. And I think it's a really great partnership. I have a question for you, though, about that Belichick Ring video that he aired. How did the awards that he won rattling them off not make

the list? That's impressive. That just tells you his brand. And his awards being good. One award that he won and one that he was nominated for. That's an important distinction. One that he won and one that he was nominated for and both of them should have had better audio quality on that video. Like Edward R. Murrow, that was video and audio quality from Edward R. Murrow's age right there. But if you had to take a guess, Mina, did Pablo, when he recreated the Airbnb that Belichick emerged from shirtless, did he not do that himself in the recreation shirtless because he didn't think of it or because he would not be seen shirtless anywhere in public? It's a great question, 100% the second thing.

And it honestly discredits the entire video for me when I first saw that and the way that he positioned it as like a recreation going undercover. And then I saw his shirt was on. I just turned it off. I didn't even watch. I don't even know what happened in that episode, honestly, because the lack of commitment to the bit ruined it for me. Do you think Pablo, put it on the poll at Levitarcho. Is Pablo someone who goes into the pool with his shirt on? I'm asking the question.

I think it's a sweater. Harvard shirt. I, Pablo's looking good. How did I get here? I feel like Pablo is looking good for his age. I feel like he could, he could have gone shirt. I don't know. I've never seen him shirtless.

I want to talk football with you. We will get your sped up sounds and thoughts in a second. I enjoyed hearing you on with Dave Damashek. That podcast, Football America is going to be exceptional. As we head into the season, what do you make? of the most interesting contract situation, whichever one it is, you choose to make the most interesting. Well, two of three are resolved, right?

Because you got the Terry Deal and you got the Trey Hendrickson pay raise, probably going to be gone after this year. So it's Micah by default, but can I say something? I don't find the Micah situation interesting at all. It would be interesting if there was a debate over whether to pay them. Like sometimes with these contracts, I don't know, You could say this about Dak Prescott, but certainly the case is Carrie McLaurin, look at them and you understand to some extent why the team might have some hesitance if the player is asking for too much and they're older, things like that. Like, Chris, you could negotiate a Micah Parsons contract.

Thank you. All you have to do, I don't know why I said Chris. Sorry, I went for you. You're right in front of me. All you have to do. It's not that he's an idiot. All you'd have to do is fine, the highest paid edge roger contract. add some money to it. It's like, the fact that we're here is so dumb and transparently just

Jerry Jones wanting to attention or something or being unsatisfied the way business is done in 2025. I do not know. But it's not fun to talk about because there's nothing to debate. It's just stupid. Chris, Jerry Jones definitely takes you to the cleaners, though, right? Just sitting here. Oh, geez. Quite the brand you've established. Mina, I think I have it correct when I say that Michael Parsons, in terms of applying pressure when he's on the field, does it better than anyone by percentage. Do I have it wrong? Like, I read a stat. I don't know how long ago it was. I think it was at about 17.8%. He was a decent amount ahead of all the other rushers in terms of percentage of times. He's disruptive.

Tim and Miles Garrett are pretty close. But over the last three years, you're right, he has led all edge rushers in pressure percentage, past rush win. He's been the second most double team player behind Micah or, pardon me, Miles Garrett. So yeah, he's, again, and he's 26 or something. There's this, it's not debatable. The other thing

that I find kind of interesting is usually with these contract impasses, you get inklings of like, he's asking for a billion dollars and a share of the team and he wants the next Cowboys documentary just to be about him. We haven't gotten those even those leaks,

which would suggest, like, you know, the cowboys have not put that into the atmosphere. So I don't know what the heck's going on. Mina, how much does this have to do with the reputation of the agent as far as Jerry Jones not wanting to talk with him? I mean, he represents a zillion players in the NFL and gets deals done all the time. Obviously, the Watson deals, the one that the agent will get is very known for because it will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in a history by NFL franchise for. you know, a litany of reasons, but he's not, like, he, there's, he does tons of deals all the time. I found that Cowboys documentary wildly disappointing. I had big expectations for it. Didn't

even finish it. It stopped after episode seven because they threw all the, all that stuff in episode seven. They milked it for six episodes, way too fat, all Jerry Jones's story. And then I just quit on it after seven episodes. I thought about watching it, but then Love is Blind UK was calling to me like a siren, which, by the way, amazing season. Love is Blad, UK, for Billy, you know. No, for everybody who wants to check out the Mina Kimes podcast featuring Lenny, she is obsessed with the show. Is it your favorite?

It's your favorite to talk about. Yeah, I like it. But, no, I have a TV recap show with David Dennis Jr. called Viewer Discretion, and we're doing a combination of that and alien earth right now. So. Look at how exciting. Look at how exciting Mike Ryan is. Mike, are you?

No, no, no. I just love the imaging that we made of Connor McGregor and Chris. He even found a way to get that quickly. Alien cat. Chris, find for me the music that will speed her up so we can get to some football, but I do want to get her thoughts here. ESPN's Jordan Rogers has carved out the lane as... Jordan.

I'm the only Archmanning critic. He is being critical of Archmanning. He's saying the hype doesn't match the tape. They're good things and there are some good things, but the tape to me doesn't tell me that you've got a first round draft pick or a top 10 pick or a number one overall draft pick. I think he's going to go into Ohio State and he's going to struggle because he hasn't played anybody.

Zaslow's had the same opinion. Amina seems terrified by this opinion. What's happening? How do you guys have strong opinions? We've barely seen the kid playing football. He played two games against unraged opponents. He came in against UTSA. I thought he looked good in that game.

He also ran for 67 yards. That's the crazy thing about Arch Manning, right? He comes from the Manning family, it's royal family, et cetera. He is an athlete out there. And I think that's going to bolster him early on, even if there are some ups and downs. The athleticism is very unique.

That's what it is, though, Mina. I have a strong opinion against the strong opinion. We haven't seen him. Wait, that's good. That's a great lane to carve out, is the anti-hot take. Oh, but everybody, though, says he's good even though

we haven't seen him. So you're sitting here saying how can you have a strong opinion? Well, there seem to be strong opinions that this is the best quarterback prospect there's ever been. That seems to be something that is a popular opinion. Well, I mean, those companions from the people who are actually in the know

are based on like the quarterback camps and watching them in high school and I don't think anyone in this room has done either of those things. So I'm not going to take a strong stance about that because we're not comparing him to first round draft picks. We're comparing him to prospects at this point and it's quite possible that he is as good as a prospect at least who is a team that's a lot better than people think um i will go with the i think the bears are going to be good but i think they're going to be really good in the second half of the season i think

early on it could look a little up and down but i like the bear's defense i think that everyone's talking about ben jonson in the offense but i think the defense hiring get us down was one of the best hires of the entire house the gulf of difference between the worst team in the league And the Saints is what? The same are the worst team. Who's the second worst team in the league? Probably Cleveland. I would say it's between Cleveland.

New York's the defensive line is so good. It's hard for me to put them there. So I'll go Cleveland. Nick Wright, your nemesis says on Dan Patrick that he believes that the Chiefs are the single best team in the league. Is he a raging homer? He came on my show in July and ranked the Eagles number one. So I don't, I don't know what's changed between July and now, but

I'm going to back-check Nick Wright with his own words on my own show. Nick Wright out here doing the Stugats of just telling everybody different things and having seven number one team so he can be right at the end of the season. What is that? World of the tape. I'm telling you, we did a power rankings episode and he picked, I gave him the choice. Eagles are chiefs and he picked the Eagles. True or false, the chiefs are better this year, but they're going to have a substantively worse record. True, because last year, what they did, their record in one score of games was like a historical aberration.

Who will lead the NFL in passing yards? Bill Burrow, because he's going to have to, because he's going to have to score like 40 points a game. Who's second? I'll go with more. Give us a player who is going to explode, a name that's going to explode and grab everybody's attention this year? I mean, I think Ladd McConaughey is like,

I could not speak highly enough about him after reviewing him this offseason. I think he's so talented, and I think he's going to get more attention. It's being like a true number one receiver, like one of those dudes this year. Mina, Travis Hunter will be what this year? Primarily a wide receiver, because I failed to see the whole, how the whole him playing both ways thing plays out to the extent that people think. Cam Ward's going to be what this season? Promising, inconsistent, but a lot of that has to do with his rounding.

It's not the greatest group of receivers. I think the offensive line will be better, but I really liked what I saw from in the preseason. He's going to be fun to watch, which is something they haven't had in Tennessee in a while. Shador Sanders is going to be what? Possibly a starter for a couple games at the end of the year. A wide receiver who's going to break out this season? I already did lad. The wide receiver is going to be a lot better this year.

To go back to the Bears thing, I think that Ben Johnson is going to find really interesting ways to you. Is Tyree Kill on the Dolphins past the trade deadline? Yes, because I think the dolphins will still be competitive. What's Belichick going to be at North Carolina? Mid. She's gotten good at the game of speeding things up. Mina, we look forward to talking to you this season. What are you pointing at us for?

No, if it's something I don't actually want to answer, that's when I will give you the one word answer. Oh, is that what happens? Okay. Bill Check, sure. I got my whole, yeah. Well, then we're going to replace you right now with a song by Jeremy about Bill Belichick and his copywriting of Gold Digger. Oh, boy. Now, Chappell Bill's trademarking gold digger. And he ain't messing with no pot. Chappell Bill score in touchdowns.

Chappell Bill score in touchdowns. Chappell Bill score in touchdowns. Chapter Bill Scoring, touchdowns. Chapter Bill Scoring She is Drodon. Met her on a flight he was on. But college textbooks on, logic and calm. She said, do you wanna talk?

Because quite frankly, I'm drawn. See your swag, you gotta lock. I can tell by have sleeves on your arm. But I'm going up to North Carolina. I'm going back to college football, but then I'm a make this really awkward for these kids because I got a day to go their age while I got grandkids. Okay, so get this.

I'm meeting with a then. I didn't see the lens. the lens. When I got up in, I was shirtless in at the Airbnb. Now I got to show my nips for the whole world to see. And now I'm getting crushed by the media. But my girl got the skills to be my handler. While I deal with the college kickers and punters, I don't care what none of y'all say I still love her. Now chapel butcher mark and gold digger. And he and messing with no Pablo. Now chapel butcher mark and gold digger. Good job, Jeremy. It did my best.

individually, you'd be at about a 75 or 80% clip because Juju's very good at this. This guy doesn't get it. But that's not how it works. He's 66% also. So adorable. He's going to say two out of three. Doesn't get it.

He's so adorable. But yeah, man, last week we went two for three yet again, a knife through the heart. But this week, we're going to write that shit baby first leg i'm going with my sister the sharpshooter she got her shooters back brianna stewart back she got emma me saman over there i'm going with sabrina yanescu for over five point five

assist tonight lock it in second leg i'm going to seattle it's it's storming right now i hear i hear it It is storming. Yes, sir. And it's going to be storming a lot of Nekka of Guma K points tonight. I'm going over 16.5 points for my sister, Madam President, tonight. Last leg, Alyssa Thomas, MVP candidate. Man, she's been on the roll lately, and I think she's going to keep it rolling tonight against the sky. We're over 9.5 rebounds tonight.

Lock it in. uh juju your dream last night i'm sorry i'm sorry juju i'm sorry juju i'm sorry that's that's the biggest game the biggest home game and i don't know how long i are you okay i am extremely distraught let alone like the game was so close and then that third quarter asia wilson woke up with two threes out of nowhere. The crowd, the home crowd, our home crowd, was louder for the Vegas Aces than they were for our big dogs. I do not stand for it. My sister Ryan Howard spoke out against it last night, salute to Ryan. Total heartbreak, though. We're going to get to polls here in a second, but the Athletic is reporting that ESPN is demoting Hall of Famer Doris Burke off its NBA

finals team and promoting Tim Legler. Finally. Oh, man. Right? Juju, did you have any interesting thoughts on anything that we were discussing today? Did you have any thoughts on Chris Cody saying he has no best friends, but an alarming number of general friends in his inner circle? That's right.

Right. It made me think, and I really, I was trying to go through my list. I don't have a best friend either. I had a best friend, and he was taken from a. way too soon and I think about him all the time I got his name tattooed on my face but yeah I don't have a best friend either so I think it's just a growing pain I'm sorry we've already established on this show that's a penalty that's not a penalty no if he had a best friend but his best friend died you don't just replace your best friend with another

best friend well then just say you don't have a best friend okay no don't draw me don't drama dump on me sir nobody trying to hear that tuesday tuesday uh dismissed again Got my own problems. The dismissals were very popular this year. What do you have for us on dismissals, Juju? Billy Gill, man. I think this might be the earliest nominee for the next year episode that Billy had. You took out David Sampson before the break in the best dismissal for 2026 winter already.

Already? Wait a minute. Already. Already? That's going to be a talking to later, I know. It was magnificent, and the YouTube chat loved it. What do you have for us in the way of polls here today, Juju? I didn't feel like we had very many of them today.

Yes. Our kids ingrates. 89% of the audience says, yes, they are. Of course. That blazer is looking great on you, my brother's ass. Thanks. Thanks, Playa. extremely player do you have a best friend 72% of the audience says yes they do anybody else have

someone die can we move on i'm going to serve my penalty on monday is the mercury in a thermometer poisonous 94% of the audience says yes it is see billy but it's not poisonous it's poisonous it's poisonous if you ingest it right yeah it's not poisonous though if you just get it on your hands or anything, right? It's not, it's only if you have it. Like, why would, why would you have mercury that you're just swigging? Okay, but that's a given that it's if you ingested. Like, you know, a rattlesnake has, has poisonous venom. Yeah, if it bites you. Not just if you're around it, it's a given. You could survive a rattlesnake bites, yes? You should try. Show me. How is it that you survive a rattlesnake bite? Somebody's got to come over. I was trying

to get to him to get bit by a rattlesnake, but he beat me. to it. You guys got a sharp tongue to Zazel. Outsmarted your ass. I saw a sharp blazer. The last poll are farms cool. 67% of the audience says yes they are

and those are your polls. What the hell would be wrong with farms? I'm still not understanding why it is that you guys brought that up today and then no one had any further explanation on why it is. Farmageddon. I know but why it why would we why would we cancel Farmageddon? The hot tip is

that the Big 12 are the ones who are uncomfortable with it, but no one seems to know why. Case state denied being involved in asking that they stop calling it back that. So now it's Iowa State that we're looking at or the Big 12. I should tell people incidentally because we're doing so much in the way of football coverage that football America is going to be a very good show. Like I can already tell how good that's going to be. Mina and Rusini are going to be on with us all season, so we're going to get ramped up on All Matters football here in a way over the next couple of weeks that I find disconcerting. I find Mike Ryan is already yelling at me that I'm talking about dirty things, even though that I was just saying that we are all physically dirty

at the end of this weekend. He's getting mad in defense of Urban Meyer and other dirty college people that I would call his sport dirty. Stop calling it dirty. Stop referencing the business of college football. A week. Okay, you can enjoy this week. I have a Lee Corso tattoo. Let me say goodbye to my hero. I didn't know you had a Lee Corso tattoo. Now you do.

Now you do. Let me see your Lee Corso tattoo. It's fan fiction. It's him wearing a Sebastian the Ibis head gear that he's never actually. I'm sorry, I'm trying, dog. I'm 40. I did not know that you had a Lee Corso tattoo. Hang on. Let me see if I, should I put it in stationary?

place? How do you not know that about me? We're nailing this right now. Get that leg up there. I don't know any of your tattoos. I do think, and I don't mean to hamstring shame you, but I do think your hamstring needed a little bit of help there on the stretch, I think. That was a lot of inner thigh. Juju, thank you. Is that the Clevelander?
