The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Local Hour: Jessica's Most Correctest Take

Episode Date: November 11, 2024

Today's cast: Dan, Greg Cote, Chris, Jess, Lucy, and Mike (while Jeremy strikes). Dan has no idea where to start the show after a chaotic weekend in sports, but for some reason he starts by talking about his hypothetical pig named Babe Laufenberg. Then, we run through some of the top storylines from the NFL including the Kansas City Chiefs being annoying, the Dallas Cowboys still being impacted by the sun, and all of the top QBs having bad weeks except Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow. Does Kyle Shanahan look like he has been ravaged by Key West? Also, Baker Mayfield made one of the greatest plays Tom Brady has ever seen, and Lucy keeps trying to get to college football as Dan continues to avoid it. Then, Tony joins us from the legendary Barracuda's in Coconut Grove to bring us his Top Five. Can we get a snapper sandwich over here? Learn more about your ad choices.

I want Jess is putting makeup on me right now. We're not quite ready to start the show but we're here and we're intimately talking to the people who have gathered as we're trickling in. This is a little loud. It's

less haunting than last week's sound. Unfortunately this is a bummer but Stu Gatz and Billy aren't here today because they just crushed it in Arizona. God bless football. Barclay showed up. it was a giant party, it was great fun. But they're flying back, that's the bad news. The good news is, Greg Cody is here, he is ready, he is clean, he looks better and healthier than I have seen him look in about 10 years. Wow.

He looks ready at the start of a work week, and I feel like he could do a straight four live hour show because there's so much to talk about. Yeah there really is. I could. I don't want to steal your thunder though so. We're gonna go straight. We're gonna go as hard as we can into Greg Cody's wheelhouse today because there's so much to talk about. Not the least of which is Inner Miami because I know you and Mike are gonna have thoughts on that. Izzy's around here somewhere. Jeremy's on strike outside. Tony's in Coconut Grove.

And we're all over the place. And Jessica and Lucy can't stop talking about that Auburn plane fight. But I wanna know what you would start with today. If you were starting the show, what would you start with in football? i only gave you not just football in general but i tell you got it what's the what's the story today i don't know that's it's that

unequivocal right like a lot of i asked you to pick as you were hosting a show on a monday and you were starting a show i think that it would have a set of people asking you how you would start the show today with a national and international audience and I tell you it can't just be football in general isn't football great. Right. Okay if it's an international audience I'm gonna go with Messi and Inter Miami. I'm gonna go with football with a U. It's our audience. Yeah. It's our audience. Yeah I think Messi losing in the first round and it's that as much as Inter Miami losing in the first round

is a huge story in American soccer and American sport. So you would open with football. Football. The real football is what you would open with. Yeah, the international sport. The true international sport. Chris Cody Cody if I tell you one story from yesterday one football story from yesterday What would you be leading with? I mean Lions Texans was fun. So last thing you saw. I mean that was the best football game I don't think it was there was a lot of good football played this weekend and a lot of close football like an amazing Amount of close football Mike an amazing amount of close football

Mike what would you start with? From Sunday. Well no. Well you said from yesterday. Well you can go ahead you can choose whatever you want actually. If you start with Miami football um. I was I was going to go with uh Pitt's devastating and embarrassing home loss to the Virginia Cavaliers. That call on the fourth down what did you think of that? It's a lot of crazy calls. I don't know if you saw Utah's athletic director, but he's unhinged. But I thought the Virginia Pitt thing was slightly worse,

because the explanation from the refs was just sort of a non-statement. I had it on mute, but just from where I was sitting, bad loss. Can't lose those games. But just from where I was sitting, bad loss. Can't lose those games. The Utah athletic director thing is not something I've seen before. A post-game press conference where all of a sudden,

the AD appears and says things that you never see a coach say. Can we play that sound, please, even though we're not technically on air yet and we're just trickling in? Can we play that sound please, even though we're not technically on air yet, and we're just trickling in. Can we play the sound of the Utah AD? And incidentally, I don't know how BYU won that football game. Like, Utah just stopped scoring in the second half,

and BYU- The athletic director has an idea. All right, let's play that sound. For 12 years, this game was absolutely stolen from us. We were excited about being big 12, sound. This is not fair to our team. I'm disgusted by the professionalism of the officiating crew tonight. One of the greatest things in all of sports that I always want with my sports is something that ends with I will talk to the commissioner. This is very like mom goes to Starbucks, has a bad experience and then writes it on Facebook.

Like the exact same vibe. You guys seen an athletic director do this before? In the heat of a Saturday, not like the next day or a press conference where there's a national scandal, right after the game, hey, everyone in the country, you're going to know this athletic director's voice and face that you never thought of before because he's going to be out here saying things you haven't heard before if they just stole the game from us. It just seemed outsized. Correct me if I'm wrong, Lucy, but they're new to this conference and yeah, I watched some of the game again, not with sound on it. Looked like they had reason to be upset about a couple of calls.

I think in a vacuum, if you see the holding call that everyone was a little mad at, it wasn't so bad. You can understand why they made that call. It just seemed like a really outsized reaction from the AD, which led me to believe that maybe he's doing this with purpose in a new conference. BYU had to drive 55 yards down the field after that. So it's kind of one of those things where I'm like,

don't put yourself in a position where the refs are controlling the outcome of the game? But like get a stop get a stop. I know but I Don't put yourself in the position where the refs are controlling the games All of these games are being decided by nothing like all the games were watching on Saturdays and Sundays are being it's not all Alabama LSU there's there's two things to change a call and now everyone's throwing shit on the field. Now, because that's the popular thing, because the calls are hugely important

because everyone's closer than they've been. Go ahead and name all the college football teams that aren't flawed. Not this year. I won't do that. FSU. They're perfect. This is the Dan Leventor Show with the StuGuts Podcast.

Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours. I'm frustrated and I'm sorry. There's too much going on. I don't know where to start the show. I don't know where to place sunlight in the eyes of the cowboys.

In the cowboys, Babe Laufenburg gave a stat that I couldn't believe. And I love that name, Babe Laufenburg. Do any of you know or name babe Laufenberg do any of you know or remember babe Laufenberg if Valerie and I had a pig we would call it babe Laufenberg that would be its name babe Laufenberg reports that the Cowboys have now trailed by 20 plus at home in five straight games it's never happened before and that's like the 40th best story of the weekend

in sports. I've got so many stats for you guys and I don't know where to start the show, but I feel like I should start it with Jessica because she's ready to declare the Chiefs officially annoying. And they win yesterday and had no business winning that football game.

There's a pass, we analyze this sport so much. Mahomes drops back to pass and just the east to float sit out to his running back doesn't see jack allen is standing there number ninety nine and just throws it right in his face mask in the red zone and hits him in the hand and sack allen will fit will remember that the rest of his life he will never have an easier interception give me all his stats chris is that gal allen stats on how often he gets to hold the football and

it's an interception and it should be an interception but it's not an interception and the chiefs when their fifteenth game in a row in that sport where all the games are close and look at this that here because this is crazy ma home's down ten plus in the second half has a better career winning percentage then quarterbacks named philip rivers

elie manning dan fouts kirk cousins matt ryan that's ma homes is winning percentage down ten in the second half is better than the winning percentage of all that all those quarterbacks they can't be beaten annoying they're just annoying dan i'd there so annoying i found myself

thinking in my head yesterday as the broncos relying up to kick the game winning field goal why i'm really happy for sean payton uh... what's that's going to what why yeah why not a likable guy sean payton uh... i on the way in today driving in

heard a radio station announcing Denver's found its franchise quarterback, Bo Nix. He's been great. I'm just but I'm just like okay that caught up to me quickly. The difference between game one and game 10 for him seems to have been a big difference. Denver is better than all of us thought and now Jessica's rooting for Denver because Kansas City has gotten to a level of, oh they shouldn't have won that game. That blocked field goal, that's nonsense at the end of that game. Can you guys play for me the Kevin Harlan sound because Kevin Harlan had a great call and just the sound. Listen to the sound.

Kevin Harlan is speaking for America here with the first guttural sound that is unleashed from somewhere in his nether region. Kick to win it. Oh! But the choose have won! The choose have won! He laid out for like a full 12 seconds after that and just a loud crowd noise as Mahomes

runs all over the field knowing he didn't deserve to win that game and reacting as if he just won the Super Bowl. It gets really frustrating when a team that has won as much as they have have, even though he's not having the best year for himself, clearly the best quarterback, maybe arguably ever. And for them to have the luck on top of that, it's just, it gets pretty deflating if you're actively rooting against them. The stat I gave, excuse me, Greg, from I should give it to Josh Dubow at the Associated Press, it is not my stat. On my home's down 10 in the in the second half it has a better career-winning percentage

then then quarterbacks that you can argue are hall of fame worthy are close to hall of fame worthy yeah he was outplayed by bone x and it's not the first time he's been outplayed by a so-called lesser quarterback he he's having an average season when you look at the stats uh... under almost any metric, he's been routine. He's been average this year. And what's going to kill me, and I predict it's going to happen, he will make the Pro Bowl purely by habit. Purely by habit, just like a good left tackle. That's going to kill you? That's going to kill you. That will really disappoint me. Put it out there.

He does not, he does not, should not make the Pro Bowl. It's going to kill you? Put it going to kill you. Yeah, that will really disappoint me. Put it out there. He does not, he does not, should not make the Pro Bowl. It's going to kill you? Put it on, go ahead. Absolutely. He's going to make the Pro Bowl and it's going to kill me. Yeah. Alright, here's the thing. I did not say, that literally will kill me. I didn't say literally. But it's just weird that you would care that much about it. No. We'll add that context. No, I care.

I care. I, parenthetically, I didn't mean literally. Right, yeah, mean literally yeah you just going out there with a very bold topic that Patrick Mahomes is gonna be in the pro bowl he will make the pro bowl out of purely out of habit that's what happens as a type of opinions you're not hearing anywhere else exactly thank you and it will kill you I don't know what is happening with the following and I'm not sure we should start with the Chiefs although I think Jessica's right they are now officially annoying. It's weird that I still want to talk Bengals Ravens.

That game was that good that I don't want to like pretend Saturday and Sunday happen. Mike, I mean all your MVPs in the league yesterday, FartSound, all of them, Jared Goff, five interceptions, all of them, except for the guy who played on Thursday night, except for Lamar Jackson, all your MVPs, get them out of here. Josh Allen, all of them except for the guy who played on Thursday night except for Lamar Jackson all your MVPs get him out of here Josh Allen all of them they were all sloppy yesterday. I'm gonna hemorrhage this NFL season because after every loss I just like a fiery furnace just keep throwing cash at the

Rams Niners and Bengals I don't care if you keep losing I'm gonna keep trusting you because you're this close the the good luck that the Chiefs have had this season and sometimes this is met directly is only followed by the bad luck the Bengals have seemed to have had this season and I want to believe in them so bad and I assume at some point this season, perhaps it's too late, but I assume they're going to ascend to the mean when it comes to some of this stuff. I need you guys' help in a lot of different places. Lucy, how is that apple? Pretty good, thanks for asking.

Is it honey crisp? I don't feel... It's delicious. Lucy, you have offered me anything in the way of help in how it is I should start today's show because you have a strong opinion. Mike went the pit game. I'm hungry. I ate an apple. There are four other people here. An apple a day. I know. Thank you, Chris. But you're not answering my question. And I don't also know. Jeremy, I am told, is striking. I don't know if we have video proof of

this. Is Jeremy striking? is he striking on Lucy's behalf because I don't know the nature of Jeremy's strike. I really yelled at him on Friday in front of everybody because he was just trying to hide a vulnerability that the entire group would have enjoyed poking fun at. Which is- I'm really upset that you decided to do that when I was off. I wish you had seen everything that happened here, because he was trying to-

Gosh, this is frustrating. Jeremy was typing and trying to cheat the answer to a question, trying to translate Choque de Gigantes, because he'd done a read so poorly and so gringo and so offensive to any Latin heritage that he has that we immediately seized on it, started asking him if he had known what he read, what it meant, and he just tried to hide it and cheat and talk over me, and then in the middle of it, we started talking about Lucy and young people,

and he deflected, and now he's on strike. What does it mean? I'm being told he's gonna be on strike shortly. He's getting in position. Okay, so he's late. That's good. He's having a manicure first. All right, good, good.

He's late arriving to his own strike. All right, I'll check in when I can. That's inconvenience to young, entitled people around here. It is a holiday. Well, it's not, though. It's for that traffic holiday. Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Is it a holiday? It is. It's a holiday. It's a holiday. Yes, certainly. It's not. Well, it's not. That traffic holiday. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is it a holiday? It is. It's a holiday. It's not a company one. My daughter's off from school and the public commuting situation was a pleasure. I sailed to the studio this morning, sailed. My car was sailing.

I had a big thing. Go on. What's that thing that comes up from a sail with a mast? You'll find it, talk it out. Yeah, no, I was sailing. Yeah, but you didn't have a mast. You don't even know the names of it. I would love it if I could put a mast, a sail mast on my car. I think it would be a funny visual. Okay. You know cars is a funny visual. It is a funny visual. It saves on gas. They have those in Boston. If you wanted to, you could do all of those things. I know. I'm going to, believe me. You could break the law. The reason I asked if it's a holiday is

because I saw a company email the other day for the first time telling me what the holidays were. I was learning for the first time what the holidays were and this was not one of them and so I was wondering, are the banks open today? How do you register what is a national holiday? Because I assume national holidays all companies have off and it seemed to me like most people are working Today school stock market. Yeah, that's usually a good way to do it. But yes, it is a holiday But don't think because you're watching us that we don't love the troops. We adore the troops I love you so much that I wanted to be here just so I could say it on this wonderful platform

Yeah, you can spot a woman faking it still guts. Yes, I can Jess expert I've been married 40 years this is the done libertar show with the stooge ads Do you guys see the internet going after Michael Strahan? Because there's a photo of the Fox crew and they all have their hands on their hearts during the national anthem and he's standing but he just doesn't have his hand on his heart then I don't think that that... I don't think you have to do that. I don't either. I'm with Lucy.

Man, X is getting weird, huh? It's been weird. Who would have thought? I didn't see you have to do that. I don't either, I'm with Lucy. Man, X is getting weird, huh? It's been weird. I would've thought. I didn't see that on Blue Sky. Blue Sky kinda had a moment this weekend, I'm not gonna lie. It did. I'm on it. I'm on Blue Sky, I'm more of a threads guy,

I don't understand, I get why people are going to Blue Sky because they don't wanna run into the warm embrace of Mark Zuckerberg, given the trauma, the very recent trauma that everybody's had with X. But it's not like you aren't posting on IG. Just come on, it's already embedded. Get your same follows. I'm over the threads. Lucy, can you please help me understand where you believe I should be starting the show today? Because I have so many football stats here. The Vikings, I don't know which game to talk about because the Vikings won a game that hadn't been won in 196 tries by anybody.

Not since 2006 as a team had zero touchdowns, three turnovers, and won the football game. But get the Vikings out of here. No one wants to talk about that today, right? Right. Pat's Bears, does anyone want to talk about- Yes! Pat's Bears, Bears allowing nine sacks a game. Hey, you gotta have some offensive linemen or Kayla Williams isn't gonna look any good. 2.5 yards for play. I think I might save my Bears takes to later this week when we will do a victory lap

because that might be my most correctest take yet, which is that the Bears finish with one more win than last year. This year was a smashing success. Meanwhile, everyone was like, they're going to make the playoffs. This is the best situation a rookie quarterback's ever been. And they're going to be amazing. I'm like, it's the Bears.

That's the only analysis you need. They have 23 straight drives with no touchdowns. That's 23 straight drives. That's brutal. That I mean, they built a team around a rookie quarterback. They, that Bears team is built around, we have value at quarterback, he's got to immediately be good. Let's get him Keenan Allen, let's get him skill position guys that are gonna make it a win now immediately year and you're

gonna go 23 drives without, I'm pretty sure Will Leves has had a better month than Caleb Williams has had statistically, and he hasn't played some of it. Well maybe that's why. Maybe he means metaphorically too. No I mean statistically. I'm pretty sure I read among the many stats I read that Will Leves' last four games, most of which he has not played, are better than Caleb Williams' last four games.

Early on with his struggles, it was clear to identify, you know, the offensive line situation isn't great, the coaching situation isn't great, but several weeks have gone by since, and he's not really doing anything with his level of play to mitigate everything that's working against him. Plenty of players have succeeded in the face of bad coaching. Hell, Aaron Rogers is the highest rated quarterback of all time. He hasn't exactly had a super dream run, a murderer's row of coaching in his career. You can overcome it. Caleb Williams is doing too much, but also too little. Well, he shouldn't be starting, right? I mean, in retrospect, the problem is the Bears don't have a quality backup or a veteran backup. So they're sort of stuck letting this guy work out all his kinks.

But in today's NFL, those guys have to play because if you actually do succeed and get a good rookie quarterback, you can set your team up to be really aggressive inside of four year window. So he has to play. Look, other rookie quarterbacks are playing and not exactly regretting the decision to go with their quarterbacks. Jaden Daniels has transformed the Commander's franchise. People are saying that Sean Payton has found his franchise quarterback. So the other quarterbacks

are playing us on an issue. I want to get to that Pittsburgh Commander's game because I think a couple of different things. I'm with you now all I'm sorry I'm late to this party George Pickens does indeed play weird. I love how weird he plays, but he does indeed play play weird He had three plays yesterday where he seemed to be skipping merrily through people just attacking people without the football and weirder We will get to that in a second But I'm legitimately having trouble with a few of the following things as Mike Ryan correctly says, hey, Caleb Williams, speed it up.

Speed it up. 10 games, speed it up. As I'm watching, I'm watching, this is a game we haven't talked about yet and it was a good one yesterday. Kyle Shanahan, who used to be a young person, now looks like he's been ravaged by Key West like ravaged by it Yeah, that person is young and whatever it is and he's been good in that sport But whatever that job does to people and all his ten point leads that disappear that dude looks ravaged He looks like he aged more than Obama has and I'm watching at the end of that game

And I'm like holy the quarterbacks cannot play better than what Purdy and Baker Mayfield are doing at the end of the game. Where Baker Mayfield is holding Bosa off for five yards to make plays. Tom Brady called that one of the greatest plays he's ever seen a quarterback make. For a four-yard game. For a four-yard game because it's just holding Bosa off because it's like holding a live LSU Tiger that was on the field off. Because you know what that is. Being with like a great wide shark in the water and you just put your hand on its snout hoping that you can survive it. I would have been less surprised if what he had been holding at arm's length

for five full seconds had been a great white shark than that he was able to just make Bosa stand there and hold his arm for five yards and that the arm wasn't in Bosa's teeth. I'm still voting for him for MVP. That play. My point is where it comes to quarterback evaluation. Neither Baker Mayfield nor Brock Purdy deserve to lose that game.

Purdy made two throws, one to Kittle and one to Parabola to McCaffrey for 30 yards. Just asinine plays to feel like they're saving San Francisco's season. You guys realize you're being unreasonable with the quarterbacks, right? When you expect Caleb Williams to figure it out in 10 games, like it's not, Andy's missing four lot, offensive lineman, like that's not a same place to live. Especially when my example is Baker Mayfield, who it took him like maybe 50 games to get to the point of,

we still don't kind of trust you. Baker Mayfield's been just great, beyond great. He's been, you could make an argument for him as the MVP right now, but I think they can make it was been just great beyond great he's been he you could make an argument for him as the MVP right now but I think the the anomaly is is the Washington quarterback the anomaly is not Caleb he's supposed to struggle the problem is they're going twenty three series in a row without scoring and they're sticking with them maybe he needs a break maybe two games off would would do well

you know put in tile why you refer to him as the Washington quarterback I didn't want to say you know I don't like their nickname and I don't want to use their old nickname and I don't like their new nickname and it also doesn't like to say Jaden Daniels I don't say commanders. Couldn't you have just said Jaden Daniels though? What difference does it make? You don't know who he is? Well maybe think you you don't. No, believe me, I'm discombobulated. I'm still trying to wrap my head around you having a pig named Babe Laufenburg. I mean, first of all, that implies that you and your wife

have actually considered having a pig. We have. And if you do, you're gonna name it Babe Laufenburg. No, we have. That's worth discussing. We have and I have. Okay. I 100% believe you.

I think that they're like, I don't think that the situation is that Caleb Williams should be given up on by the fans or the franchise. I think the situation is that like, I think a lot of people overlooked how bad the O-line situation and the coaching situation was coming into the season. When I mean, I've been saying since last year, like I don't know why they stuck with Eber Fluss when it seemed after the season ended, they were pretty lukewarm about him. And it would have been probably a good time

to bring in a new head coach when you're trading away Justin Fields so you can get Caleb Williams, who's supposedly gonna change your franchise. So like the things, those are two like fairly big things that the Bears don't have going for them right now and to be like well it's just the it's just the head coach in the offensive corner in the offensive line. Like yeah those are some pretty big things working against a rookie

quarterback who hasn't gotten better throughout the season and you can knock him for that but I don't think that you know he's just like a lost cause. I think the Bears need to as a organization need to like seriously make some changes he's not a lost cause but i do believe that people underestimate the mental ravages of taking someone just out of school who's always been great and telling them paying ten games figure out this thing this football city hasn't figured out in forty years to save your okay

gonna build it all around you you're grown up enough to handle this right when no one is when no one is and you got no offensive linemen and you're sacked ten times and it's two yards per play when we got you keen and alan when we got you we we got you speed we got you this this we got you speed we got your expectations put him low on the list on what we're talking about today because he's not going to be one of the winners half the leagues not any good

half the league not any good close games galore because everyone's pretty equal and so okay giants carolina it'll be close at the end but we know we don't have to pay attention to you we've talked more about the bears and we should have given what it is that's happened yesterday Vikings Jags deserve nothing Titans Chargers are only gonna get nationally what they're gonna get which is Harbaugh. Hmm

Defense. Hmm. That's all the Chargers are getting but that's pretty good though. They're a good team Yes, they are and and Harbaugh he's in the coach of the year mix right now. Jets Cardinals exists only to make fun of Aaron Rodgers. Yeah. What was that sound? I'm sorry. I still have a lingering cough from last week. And I think Lucy wants to start with college football. I don't think she wants to talk about professional football. Yeah, you asked me this question like 10 minutes ago of where we should start and then completely forgot

that I existed, but don't worry about it. But you did finish the apple. You don't answer it. You didn't give me the chance to answer. Again, I'm asking you. I can't even remember all the options anymore. It's yours. You said you were eating an apple

and there were four other people here. There are. There are. One, two, three, four. That seat man, Roy, the the other day looked in my face and said he wasn't wearing a costume. And by the way, don't think I haven't noticed that none of you are paying your punishments again,

and I'm gonna have to go get Sarah Spain again, because again, another season goes by where the listener can't trust us for anything. But in that seat, I looked at Roy and asked him why he didn't and hasn't served any of his punishments, and he said, I'm never here. Looked in my face and said it while sitting there on Halloween Wow some resentment and now you're in that seat telling me I haven't asked you or

Put it on the pole Juju at Labotard show, does Kyle Shanahan look like he's been ravaged by Key West? Yes or no? He does.

He's just growing his beard out now. Yeah, but it's got a lot of gray, it's got a lot of stress in it. He looked like really handsome when he decided to go with a mustache over the off season, like a sophisticated man that came from money. We can agree, right, no matter what these people are paid that these are stressful jobs, right? That Mike McCarthy doesn't feel very good today, no matter how much he's making. That Kyle Shanahan has done an awful lot of winning, but we associate him with, you know,

blown leads. And even though he's done it with people like Brock Pardee and Jimmy Garoppolo, he does all of this winning. And for some reason, people have now tired of him in much the same way that Jessica has tired of the Kansas City Chiefs. I'm still not clear on what Lucy said the storyline of the weekend was. She's still thinking.

I have a choice, but I don't wanna say it because I think people are gonna get their feelings hurt. Oh, you wanna talk about University of Miami football? Kind of a little bit. Okay, no, I'm happy to. I wanna also talk about Inter Miami. I don't know which was the more or choice yeah i didn't use it in your your your your your your your your your your your choices in florida and i mean i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i She made a political comment that I happen to agree with. I gave her a touche. She also made a comment comment and you're like,

I don't want to talk about Miami. I want to talk about inner Miami. No, I was, I was, no, I was coming from an honest place. I was putting both of them next to each other and saying a brutal weekend for Miami sports with stakes on it. I'm pretty sure hands of Atlanta. Didn't all the Florida teams lose like aren't isn't all Florida football 0-10 this weekend? Yeah, 0-11 across Florida.

I can't believe Florida State didn't pull it out. Yeah, that was a... Just can't believe it. That was the most surprising one. 52 to three against Notre Dame. Good showing by them. It made me sad. It made me feel bad.

Todd Blackledge, at the end of the game, sort of like scolded Notre Dame for continuing to drive the ball and like throw the ball in the fourth quarter and then score. And I don't think Todd Blackledge realized that Notre Dame had all of their backups in their backup quarterback walk on wide receivers and Florida State still could not stop them. The history of the sport has not seen a drop this precipitous in what it is that's happened to FSU. We have not seen it. They went back to 1960 to give a percentage drop

of from 13 and one to one and nine, from one season to the next. It doesn't have much precedent in the history of college football. This Miami topic rocks, keep going. I will get to Lucy's Miami topic in a second, but Tony has phoned in now. Why did you ask me to choose and then ignore it?

Coconut Grove. And then you get mad at me? This is ridiculous. That one's great. You need 60% in the state, I guess. Tony. No matter if most people want something. Tony is in Coconut Grove.

And he has his top five football things. I imagine he has more than five. Oh, that is still there. That is still there. Still here. I can't believe that that's still in coconut Grove. That's how long has that been there? Um, Dan, what was the last time that you were at barracuda's question? I'mas? Question. I'm gonna say 11 years ago. Okay, so 11 years ago, you were here in college, no? Early 90s? Well, that's many years ago, but you said last time. Yes, 30 years ago, I was there much too much.

So add another 30 years to that. This has always been here. This is an establishment here in Coconut Grove. This is actually the first time that we've done something at Tony's Top Five here in Coconut grove my home away from home. I had a guy walk by me just before we got on air said Dan lebatard. I love that guy. I said, all right, we're going live. There's another guy over here doing a dissertation, but just cracked open a middle of light. I mean, that's the growth for you. Like anything can happen in the grove.

Do you have a beautiful, they have a veterans day parade by the way. It today is a holiday. By the way, they have a veterans parade here at coconut grove starting in a couple minutes But yes, I do have more than just five Dan to answer your question Kudos open in 90. Yo According to their Instagram. Okay, not just after that's always been here So Tony you've got your top five and you've got a couple of extra as well, let's get started Where do you want's get started. Where do you want to get started?

Let's get to the OLA. I heard a lot of different starts to the show. People wanted to start here. People want to start there. I'm going to start right here. Eagles back. It's a question. He's got the eyeball emoji. I feel like yesterday was about its eyeball emoji, the Dallas losing,

not Philadelphia winning. I feel like yesterday was about its eyeball emoji though Dallas losing not Philadelphia winning. I feel like that was sure When we're talking to Jerry Jones about poorly building your stadium because the sunlight is affecting CD lambs ability Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, sorry. These do not spoil the list. Okay, my bad. I'm sorry I was listening. I was listening very intently because last week we talked about Tony, why don't you listen to the show on days you're not in so you can take stuff out of your top five when things get set on the show. And I was waiting and hoping that things didn't get mentioned during the start of the show that I could bring up now during the show. So something that was brought up, but obviously everybody's talking about it because it's probably the hottest thing in the mile-high city Bo Nicks showing us something right now there

Oh my god, so we're here ten games in Bo Nicks is that everything Caleb Williams isn't I? Mean You said it not me. Did you see the pass on I think it was a third and eight He he kind of like Got out of the pocket and threw an absolute laser to Cortland sudden to get them in position to kick that game winning field goal. I mean the kids got something who you look last. Why are you looking around? Keep your eye on the prize. Keep your eyes on the people. No just people giving us fist. No people giving us fist pumps because they see kind of what we're doing here and they love it. People didn't fire up. Use the camera

though. Use the camera. Not everyone around you everyone around you cameras right in front of you Oh, they know I know that that guy. Yeah, there is what a crowd. All right It's early Tony Tony is surrounded by all of the people who are getting hyped for tonight's dolphins game Expecting the Dolphins to rescue their season against the Rams He's surrounded by all the energy and power of South Florida loving loving the dolphins. O-L-I, keep going, Tony. Last one, it was a bad moment. It was almost Calabasas Calabasas for Sam Darnold. Almost. If they wouldn't have pulled out that game, Dan,

it would have been Calabasas Calabasas. Really? And I hate to say that, but it's the truth. Yeah. So many, I think, how many, how many interceptions has he thrown inside the 25 yard line this season? Is it seven, eight?

A million. It's a lot. A million. Okay, I think it's less than a million. It might be less than six or seven, but it's a lot. Ask Kevin O'Connell, he'll let him tell you a million cause it feels like it. All right, we'll start off with our number five here.

The good stuff. Jared Goff has now thrown his seventh career game with at least four interceptions. His record in those games, Dan, six and oh. Wow. No way. Look at that. And that's a, yeah.

That can't be right. That's according, that's according on Twitter to Mr. Civ. That's according to Mr. Civ on Twitter. But Dan, I'm just telling you, GoToss has five interceptions. Are you sure he's not making that up? I think he's making that up. I think you're right. Dan, you know how it is.

I don't think you verified that stat. That stat can't be right. Dan, if there's any stat on Twitter, you know it's correct. That's just the facts. I just know where that's right. There's nothing I can do about that. It can't be right. All right, so the Lions end I don't know where that's right. Something I could do about that can't be right

All right, so the Lions end up clawing back and winning that game Dan. Do you know what the Lions are right now? The best team in the NFL that's that can't be true Destiny there's no way there that he's thrown for interceptions that many times Nothing six, you know, You guys look it up. I believe he has. I believe he's thrown four interceptions in the game six times. I believe Jared Goff probably has six four interception games. I do not believe that he's 6-0 in those games. I will not believe that. You can show me the... I'm going to Mr. Civ. There's just no way that's real. I didn't say it. Mr. Civ. Siv did. Get Siv on the phone.

Also not real. Jessica said to me just a second ago, we're just on number five. Number four. Yeah. Number four, we built the most intricate cathedrals of football in the 21st century yet at Jerry World. The Sun is still making a difference

during scoring plays, Dan. The Sun got into CD Lam's eyes and as he ran by the ball went right by him put his hands up I know he's only thrown four interceptions in a game twice he lost mr. Siv that's not my fault that's mr. Siv Tony Tony. You gotta do better than that. Come on Tony number Mr. Siv Dan was mr. Siv number three I think that call that a good set the guy that put up the stat on Twitter Tony You gotta verify you gotta verify who the people are Take it from someone who's been butt-cracked. You gotta verify it that it. Yeah Yeah, but it's better when you don't

number three And I was I was worried I was worried that this was going to come up during the Caleb Williams conversation and I was hoping that it didn't and I'm glad it didn't. So number three is Caleb Williams at the beginning of the season texted rookie punter Tory Taylor that you're not going to be punting much here. They punted eight times yesterday and 45 times for the season. Yeah, they're not good. Not good at offense.

I feel for the season. Yeah, they're not good. Not good at offense. I feel for that kid. Number two. We're about to find out if the Steelers are the best team in football or the third best team in the division. Tough division, Dan. Bengals could beat them twice in the next couple of games. And then what?

And then what do we do? Jessica made a face at you. Jessica's not having you not believing in her two lost she always makes a face with me Jessica thinks I mean no I like them put it put on the pole the beginning of it was we're about to find out if the best team in football put it on the pole that Levin charge show who's the best team the eight and two Steelers or the four and six Bengals? Who's better? Hot. They were hot though. Offense is getting rolling. Number one, Dan, and this is one that I'm very happy to announce

the classic fire your coach starts scraps on offense because everybody is hurt, but have a fiery assistant coach take over with a great nickname win for the Saints. Coach Riz. That was electric yesterday, you got to admit, right? They had nobody. They had Marquez Valdez, Scanlon, catching touchdown, Derek Carr. I mean, who was on that team? All of a sudden you look at coach Riz on the sidelines and he's like, well, that's how he was in the morning. Thank you, Tony. You left out the coach Riz statistic that everyone was talking

about yesterday. He went into the press conference afterward and explained that his Sunday started with him just clogging a toilet. He's six and oh, whenever he clogged the toilet before a game. That's right. Can you give me a snapper sandwich, Dan? Thank you. I don't think it's open yet. I think the best snapper sandwich you'll ever have. It's not open yet, but they're inside and I'm actually going to knock on the door. Maybe get a couple of middle lights to go bring a snapper Dan you want anything fish dip your fish dip kind of guy I think yes, I don't think they're gonna fish the guy. I know them. Thank You Tony appreciate me your for me They're gonna open or is

Tony's top five is presented by door-get all your game day faves delivered head to draft kings commcom slash door dash to play for free restrictions apply void where prohibited By the way while we're on the topic kudos. They know how to be spooky very spooky around Halloween season They had some nice inflatable spiders in their trees around the picnic tables very spooky establishment I'm a big fan great place to take a dog How do you guys feel about Darren Rizzi saying his Sunday began with clogging a toilet? Love it. I love the honesty. He grew up in a dolphin's camp, so you know, he knows how to take a crap. You love it. Let's play the sound of Coach Rizzi making everyone emotional because who doesn't understand the humanizing connection points involved with clogging a toilet? This is how my day started. I get down here to the stadium, I get down here to Superdome, I go in the head coach's locker room, which I've never used before.

So here I am early in the morning, I go to the bathroom, and this is how my day started. I clogged the toilet and I'm like this is gonna be a crappy day pun intended and so we listen I'm like okay this is not really a great start to the day here we go and so yeah I'm not really feeling like a head coach of an NFL team right now so so I'm like really this is really how we're gonna start my day. If your coach doesn't sound like that he's not coaching right that's what a coach should sound like that, he's not coaching right. That's what a coach should sound like right there. Yes, I agree. The scratchy voice, perfect.

Perfect. And the special teams coach, you put a mic in front of a special teams coach, you're gonna get gold because they're not used to anybody talking to them. Who's the interim head coach? Well, whatever. He's the, you know, he's 1-0, 1-1, whatever he is. It's 500. Throw throwing his hat in the ring You really don't have anything on this huh, like you just petered out Here's what you just you petered out You're staring at us. You got nothing you're just

Okay, the subject is a coach taking a crap and then sticking up the toilet What what am I supposed to have on that? I've all done it you did all that you could with that. Sorry A lot nobody ever interviews me about it. What am I supposed to say Rizzi? I mean good for him. I give him credit for honesty I think a lot of you know, Mike Tomlin probably stuck up the toilet before he played Sunday. He didn't admit it You know he he would never admit that there has to be another head coach in the league that did that on Sunday and isn't Talking about you League that did that on Sunday and isn't talking about it. Thank you. Zagacki. Dan Campbell, Lucy can attest. That coffee diet, it's not pleasant.

I do not believe that there is another coach in the NFL that clogged the toilet in the morning and is covering it up. Have you looked at Andy Reid lately?
