There is nothing casual about football season. You can tell yourself, you're just going to watch one game, and six hours later, you're emotionally invested in a fourth quarter between two teams you don't even care about. That's what I love about this time of year. The entire weekend becomes football. Your texting friends, tracking games, second-guess and coaches, convincing yourself you saw something before everybody else did. And then Monday comes around and you get to do the whole thing again.

Those are the weekends you remember. And for me, some of the best ones have usually involved some good people, a great game, and a cold Miller Light. No matter what triumphs are in store this season, legendary game days start with Miller Light. Cold, crisp, refreshing, that clean finish. And it's part of plenty of memorable football weekends. Make Game Day legendary. Go to MillerLight.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Game time is Miller Time.

You are listening to the Dan Levitar show in partnership with the Drafkin Sports app. Now live in all 50 states. We welcome in now the one, the only Matthew Berry. He's the founder of FantasyLife.com and the host of Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Barry on Odyssey. And he's the host of the new show pregame. with Matthew Barry, you can catch that on the Roku channel. And just a reminder, folks, these fantasy picks are delivered by Little Caesars,

the official pizza sponsor of the NFL right now. Score two faves just for you with Detroit-style slices and sticks for just $4.99. That sounds like a typo. $4.99, are you kidding me? Only at Little Caesars, officially delicious. Hit the music. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry.

Matthew Perry. Matthew Barry What's up, gentlemen? How are you? What up? Hey, Matthew. I'm good. Shall we dive in? Sure.

Do it. So far this season, every single quarterback that's faced the Detroit Lions that scored at least 21 fantasy points. They also give up over 300 passing yards for game

and almost three passing touchdowns for game as well. Jacoby Reset is available in over 50% of pretty much every league wherever you ever play. He's my favorite streamer. He's a top 10 play for me this week. Through four weeks,

only one team in the NFL has a higher pass rate over expectation than the Pittsburgh Steelers than Dave Damashek's Pittsburgh Steelers through four weeks, by the way, Aaron Rogers, seventh in past attempts for a game. This week, Rogers and the Steelers face the Colts in their 29th ranked pass defense. Colts, by the way, top seven in the NFL in terms of most usage of cover one and cover three.

Rogers threw almost 250 passing yards against those coverages last week despite completing basically half of his passes. Over the past two games, Kyron Williams has seen a 76% snap rate. He's out-touched Blake Corum 47 to 14. And so far this year, 37% of Kyron Williams yards from scrimmage have been on receptions. I bring that up because through four games, the bills have allowed three receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs and give up an average of five receptions for 40 yards to opposing running backs.

In the three games, since Jordan Mason was placed on IR, Aaron Jones, free Aaron Jones. It's averaging 23 touches the game, an 18% target share. he's a running back seven in utilization score. That's a proprietary metric that we have on fantasynet.com that ranks basically all the underlying metrics of usage that project into future fantasy production. It's worth noting that they play the Saints. And do you see what the Falcons did

to the Saints run defense last week? Yes. In week four against Chicago, Braylon Allen heading 94% snap rate. He had a 13% target share. He saw 100% of the Jets running back touches. Braylon Allen literally touched the ball on half of every offensive play for the Jets. I think he'll do better this week against the Browns than he did last week just because I think they'll hold the ball longer.

So far this year, the Jacksonville Jaguars have allowed only 190 total rushing yards to opposing running backs. However, they've also allowed 193 receiving yards to opposing running backs. That's the second most in the NFL. They've also allowed the second most receptions to opposing running backs. I think it's a be hard to run on the Jaguars, but I think you can throw to the running backs against Jacksonville. Will Shipley is an interesting. streamer so far this week, guys. One last, one last stat for you here. In week four, Carnell Tate saw a season high, 43% target share. It's his third straight game with at least a

25% target share. And for the last week, Tate accounted for almost 74% of the Titans air yards. This is the highest single game mark of any wide receiver in the NFL this season. Houston has already allowed seven different wide receivers to score double-digit fantasy points. Matthew, I don't know if you saw this the other day. We were having a conversation about the best running back in the game. Greg Cody announced with great bravado that it's Bejohn Robinson without a doubt. And a lot of guys here push back and say, oh, Derek Henry still exists. But miraculously, we have a video of Derek Henry talking about B. John Robinson.

Take it away, video, guys. He's the best in the game right now. He's doing it all. I ain't going to be a shot away from it. He's doing a great job. I love with that. It does a great job in their system. So, Matthew Barry, what say you? Yeah, I agree with Derek Henry.

I mean, look, Derek Henry is a legend. He's a Hall of Famer. I think you could argue Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor in there. Jemir Gibbs is no slouch. But I think if you asked any running back who their favorite running back in the NFL is, I think they'd all say to a person, Bejohn Robbins, I think he's the most complete running back in terms of power and speed and past catching ability and ability to go through the middle. I mean, I think that, I think had Bejohn Robinson gone to Detroit and Jemir Gibbs gone to Atlanta, Bejon Robinson is still Bejohn Robinson.

I'm not sure Jem Jemis is Jemir Gibbs in that. Like, they're both super talented, but I just, I mean, Bejohn Robinson is unbelievable. Yeah, he was a, I mean, and this was, I mean, he was the same way. at Texas. And I don't know if, you know, Dave or if, I don't know, not that this should matter because we're just talking about sort of on-field performance, but for whatever it's worth, I've interviewed Bijan a handful of times. I don't know if any of you guys have. I see Dave nodded and said, like, he's awesome. Like, he's just an awesome human being. Like, and everyone I've ever talked to is like, isn't Bijan great? Like, he's just like, he's an easy

guy to root for. Agree with that. And I think the distinction is Greg Cody said it earlier in the week when he floated it best running back since Barry Sanders. And I think what he's getting at is Derek Henry, much like Shaquille O'Neal admits himself, is I scored a lot of points, but I'm not a great score. That distinction is that Derek Henry does it via blunt force. Bejohn Robinson is an artiste. He is a stylistic pleasure to look at before you talk to the guy just as a football. You know, in a way, I know OJ Simpson puts a stink on that. But, you know, Barry Sanders, there's something. to the style that really breaks out. And it's what makes the iconic running backs really stand out from the pack, I think.

Yeah, no, I completely agree with that. I mean, like, and I think right to your point about, like, Shaquille, like, you know, Shaq calls himself the most dominant ever. He doesn't call himself the best ever. And I think that's right. I mean, Shaq was in his prime, Shaq was the most dominant ever because he's just like, he's a genetic freak of nature, just like Derek Henry is a genetic freaking nature. Like, they're just bigger and badder than everyone else out there on the field, you

know. And so, but yes, I mean, I think there's just, there's kind of a magic to the way that Bejohn runs that, you know, I mean, listen, and I guess since Barry Hans Sanders, but that's, that's interesting, right? Because then you, now you're starting to get into like, you know, you think about Marshall Falk or LaDainian Tomlinson or like some of those guys, that popped your mind. I mean, McCaffrey's in that list, right? I mean, so, but at the moment, I would say Bejohn Robinson is the best running back in the NFL. I don't know. I'd have to think about that if he's the best one since Barry Sanders. We've never been able to fantasy draft Lane Johnson,

but everyone's benefited from his impact on the game. And it's quantifiable, his impact for that Eagles offense. Now he is retired. How do we project an Eagles offense that has been tough to kind of pin down? Yeah, it's a tough one, right? I mean, because listen, you look at the numbers throughout Jalen Hertz's career, and you just look at the numbers of the Eagles offense and Jalen Hurts with Lane Johnson on the field and without.

It's a significant loss. There's no question about it. You know, Cam Juergens, obviously, their center traded away. Jurgens was having an up and down year. But still, the point is there's a lot of turnover. The lines banged up beyond that. Like, there's a lot of turnover on this line. Now they also, they don't have Devonte Smith.

They might get Dallas Goddard back this week, but Sequin's banged up. We don't know if Sequin's going to play. I mean, you heard me saying that in the facts portion of this, that I think Will Shipley is a nice fantasy start as a flex play in a PPR league. Yeah, I think the most interesting thing about this game, and I think as it relates to fantasy, I think you're probably still starting Jalen Hertz, although I'll tell you, I mean, I am as a high-end QB2 this week. Like, I'm a QB14, so I don't think he's a must start, but you're depending on who else you have, you're probably still hoping that Hertz falls in the end zone and gets you there.

And I think you're starting the running back, whether it's Barclay or Shipley. But other than that, you don't feel great about this. The Jaguars have a real defense. Like, they're really good. I don't love the fact that the Eagles aren't leaving till today to go to London. It's the London game. Like, there's just bad vibes all around. I will say this, though, just to bring it more to a general sports topic.

I don't know if you guys have gone there yet. But like, I think this is an awesome opportunity for Jalen Hertz. Because the anti-Jal and Hertz argument for so long as well, he's a product of the system. He's a product of the fact that he's had this incredible offensive line. And he's had A.J. Brown and Devonte Smith and Sequin Barclay around him. And well, that's the narrative around Jalen Hertz for the people that are not fans. And so now, like, this is going to be all on him. This is going to be one of those, this is an opportunity to be a, you know, a Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes type game where he puts

on the Superman cape and just says, you know, follow him to victory. Screw it. I'm just going to, I'm just going to bring everyone along with me. Like, this is an opportunity for him against a very good Jaguars defense and an important game for the Eagles with basically, you know, a lot of people around him not available on Sunday. Pretty wild. If the Eagles lose that game and the Giants win, which there's a great chance they will. The Giants will not just be in first place. They'll have a two-game lead on both the Cowboys and Eagles. It's wild.

Love the Will Shippley call if Sequin is down. Do this. Assess this one, expert. Who wins this fantasy trade? D.K. Metcalf and Sam Leporta on one side for George Pickens and Colston Loveland. You mean the Pickens-Lovland side? Not close. Not close, you say. Not close.

I'm pleased to say that Dave Damashek is on the winning side then, and John Hamm and Trevor Duvall are on the losing side of that fantasy trade that went down just before Thursday night football. Fantastic. Good job. So by the way, guys, I just want to, I want to just throw this out to everyone there in the studio. I like the fact that Damashick managed to, A, get a stealer in there and also drop that he's in a fantasy league with John Hamm. I think that's a pretty good question. He does it every Friday morning, Matthew. Yeah.

I feel like, right, that feels like that. feels like that's a look at me. I mean, I don't, you know, I don't, but anyway, um, I racked to John Hampton. I talk about it here every Friday. I'm sure you do. I'm sure you do. No, listen, I know John's a crazy fantasy football player. But, no, I like that trade because I think that, listen, I've been dead wrong on Colston Loveland so far. He's somebody that he loved in the preseason. I thought he was going to have a monster year. It's obviously been very tough for anyone that drafted him high the way I did. I have a lot. of Loveland this year. But if you look at the route participation, if you look at the route,

you know, in terms of, you know, targets for route, like every underlying metric is Loveland, it's out there and they just haven't found a way to get on the ball. He should have two touchdowns on the season. So I just, I believe in the talent of Loveland. I believe in the play calling of Ben Johnson. I believe ultimately the ball is going to find him. So I think the difference between Colston, Loveland and Sam LaPorte isn't that great moving forward, right? And so I know it's been rough for levelin, but I do think better days are ahead. Meanwhile, D.K. Metcalf definitely gets a bump with the Michael Pittman injury, and you heard me talk earlier that the Steelers are throwing a lot more than expected, but still, I mean, I think that's Roman Wilson. I think it's the running backs. I think

it's Pat Friarmouth. I just, D.K. Metcalf has never, even in, even in the elite years that D.K. Metcalfe, him and the Russell Wilson years, he's never been a massive target earn. He's been a guy that lives on deep balls and touchdowns. And so can he get there? Meanwhile, I mean, um, George Pickens, again, like I could say, you know, you bought low at the exact right time. We know about the talent and, you know, obviously you benefited from a monster game last night from him. George Pickens, if we were redrafting today, is still going to be one of the first 15 wide receivers drafted. And I don't think Medcap would come anywhere close to that.

Going for two when you're up by five. Switching the zone when man isn't working. Oh, and building your new stadium. in the state your team actually plays in.

In sports, some things just make sense. You know what else makes sense? Drinking Yeagermeister shots. Ice cold. Drinking it any other way would be like punting on first down or letting your worst hitter bat first or like going for two when you're down three with a second to go. It wouldn't make any sense.

So don't let the team down when it comes to Yeagermeister, drink it cold or don't drink it at all! Yeagermeister. Damn, that's cold. Brick responsibly, Yeagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume, imported by Master Yeagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York. Dan Levitar. I like options. I don't like Cheeto trying to corner the market by saying we're everything.

Dave Demichick. Well, we're the puffy ones. I believe you're picking up what I'm laying down. This is the Danlebatar show. Matthew, I want to send you off with this hypothetical question presented by the one and only Dave Dammitter. Would you rather see Syracuse win a national championship or have a one-time use time machine that can take you to any musical performance or concert in the past? I want, give me Syracuse. Give me Syracuse to win.

I mean, like, we're so spoiled with video and everything like that. And again, it's not like the same as being at that, at that whatever, you know, that live event. But like, you know, I feel like, yeah, give me Syracuse. Give me, give me, Sarah. Matthew, you answered. I'm not sure what I would pick. You answered correctly. It's 100% the answer that everyone takes because Dave Damagex,

his time machine sucks, and he doesn't want to admit it. You have a faulty dime machine, Mr. Damagechek. It is not practical in any way. No, Matthew Barry got it wrong because what you didn't say, you didn't specify, it's a Syracuse lacrosse title. So congratulations. I hope that was worth it. Listen, I, you know, I love Mr.

brothers. Yeah, I mean, like, I'm just trying to, I'm not even sure, like, what I would pick to go back in time to watch. Like, is it like, is it like Woodstock, which, you know, happened before I was born? Like, is it something like, I'm trying to think like that or, you know, is, I don't know, like, I remember one time I was invited to a party. I was, when the NBA All-Star game was in New York City, I, there was like a Friday night Nike party, a Jordan party that I got invited to. And I live in Connecticut. So it's like about two, two and a half hours. away and I had something early Sunday, Saturday morning with my kids, like I was coaching one of their teams.

It's just like, I don't know. Like, it sounds like a cool party, but I don't want to drive all the way there. And, you know, I have to get up early from, you know, so I passed on it. And what ended up happening is, is that midnight apparently Prince came out and played like a private show, an unannounced private show for the, for this Nike party of like, whatever, 150, 200. I don't know how many people were at this party, this Jordan party. But like, you know, played like an hour and a half, like, you know, and I'm a minute.

I'm just like, ah, and I had friends that were at the party, and they were those like, dude, it was Prince. I mean, you know, and I've seen Prince before. He's, like, incredible. He was incredible as a live performance. So, like, I think about that one. That one's, like, my biggest personal regret is that I miss that show. So I'd have to think about that one.

But, yeah, give me Syracuse. Give me a Syracuse title. Matthew, that All-Star Weekend was the All-Star Weekend where I was working Sports Center in Bristol. I drove down, picked up my credential. And if you remember, that was like the coldest weekend ever. Yes. It was freezing.

It was so cold that I remember holding my credential, looking around and saying, F this, pulled out my phone, changed my flight to leave that day. I went home. I was like, I'm not doing it. It's the only All-Star weekend I've ever tapped out of. Like, actively was on site and said, no mass. That was, by the way, that was part of the calculation in saying, like, do I want to drive or, you know, get a, an Uber or whatever to go to New York

because it was icy roads. It was insane. Like some just like, it's like it's freezing. It's like bad conditions. It's like just another party, you know, and they're always fun. But like it's,

you know what I mean? Like just to basically drive five hours when I had to be up at like 8 a.m. I had to be coaching at like 8 a.m. the next morning. I was just like, eh. But you know what I mean? Like if they told me Prince was playing,

I'd have made it. You know, I'd have figured out a way. I'd have gotten my butt up. But, you know, yeah, what are you going to do? Check out Matthew's new show pregame with Matthew Berry.

It's on Roku. You don't need to have a Roku to have. You can download the Roku app. Streaming weekdays from noon until 2 p.m. Eastern and listen to full episodes of Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Barry. Matthew, thank you very much. Appreciate you guys. See you next week.

See you next week. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Matthew Barry. Dave Damachek, your time machine stinks. It doesn't work.

I don't understand the senseless attacks on my time machine. But like, let me ask you this. Let's flip the mirror on you. You, sir, would you rather see the Pitt Panthers win or the Pittsburgh Steelers win a championship or go to some concert? Well, I would, I'll take the title. But it also, Matthew Barry brings up an interesting question. What is the right answer? Obviously, it's going to vary from person to person and what music is.

you're interested in. But what is the sort of quintessential show? What are the, what are the legendary shows available? Like Coltrane and Miles Davis played in what, the blue note? Or is that even a bar? Or is that a club? Yeah, the jazz club, yeah, the blue note. Right across the blue note from the comedy seller. I mean, maybe that would be one to see. I mean, Woodstock doesn't sound terribly appealing or if you watch the documentary, it doesn't seem like it was fun to be there. So I wouldn't choose that one. The Beatles showing up somewhere, the rooftop show or something like that. See, the one I, someone said, I can't remember who said in the other room. I'm just going to credit Mike. Beethoven. I want to say, like, was he really like that? Everyone's like, oh, this dude

was doing those. Was he really like that? Or Mozart? Maybe I was, is Amadeus? How faithful is Amadeus as a story to what actually happened? That's a great one, Mike. What about the Ramones? What's it called? CBGB? You know, yeah, CBGB. Yeah.

Or studio, I see here's the thing. I mean, give me a Micron PC bowl win. How about the he-ha-3 in Vegas? Absolutely not. It was electric. Studio 54. Bad boy mowers. Does that count as a concert or musical performance?

If I go to Studio 54 on like New Year's Eve in like 74, were or whatever. Okay, now you're on to something, I mean, the greatest, the greatest parties in movie history, which party do you wish you would attend? I fancy, because it was just on the other night, from eyes wide shut, the Christmas party. I don't want to do that. That's what you go to? You fiend.

You're sick, dog. I would go to the weirdo party. I would go to the imaginary food fight and hook. I want some of that pink and blue stuff. party with the, not the mask party. I'm talking about the Christmas party that the rich doctor. And I'm talking about bengarang. Rufio?

He just straight up killed him. Yeah. He killed a kid. Yep. That's son of a bitch. Cynapope episode. What was it? That's how you want to go out, right?

If you're going to get stabbed, just like talking like, hey. Uh-oh. We doing Dracula? Yeah. I'm doing my getting stabbed and getting killed. I mean, Dave still has a script. Cinephode episode 79 Get it wherever you get podcasts

That documentary is coming out about that movie's gonna be awesome About hook? Yeah There's a documentary I saw a documentary of like behind the scenes Robin Williams stuff that's gonna be awesome Hey uh what's her name Aaron Brockovich Julia Roberts

What's the party? Now on a bang tinkerbell. What's the party you'd go to? You said the food fight from Hook. That's a terrible party. I can fly. That's a terrible pick. Awful.

Who else? I'm going to regret giving you that clip. Enchantment under the sea dance. The house party from house party. The house party from a house party from a house. Too much dancing. Too much dancing. Too much dancing.

They stand on the wall. No, but then now you're lame. Awful crying out. Look, Roy, you pick the party. I didn't pick it. I don't want a party where it's like the only way I can stand out here is if I have to be drenched in sweat and doing synchronized dancing with someone else. That's how that's house party.

That's the only about house party. Can play. And then Gina from, from Martin and, uh. A.G. Johnson. Yeah. Like, there's just too much, man. Too much dancing. Need to clarify.

She's of age. Oh, my God. Don't do this. Jeremy, what's the party you go to? I was trying to think. Do I want to be at the super bad party where Michael Sarah's singing with the guys who were all coked out? Or do I want to be it? Or do I want to be at the Gatsby party and just kind of observing?

Now you're getting there, Tashay. Now you're starting to get somewhere with that brain of yours. Gadsby would be fun. What about the wedding? What about the Corleone wedding at the start of a picture? You know, that's a nice party. Do you get to ask a question or a favor of Don Corleone? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah, you get a meeting. What would you ask? I'm moving on. I'm doing other parties here already. The Gatsby party is great. I'd like to attend the party for the meal in Big Night. The party. Which parties is?

Big Night. What's Big Night? I don't know Big Night. I know not a big night. The movie with the meal with the brothers. They cook the early 60s. Big Night, right? Isn't that the name of the movie?

Am I not getting the name of the picture right? I've never heard of it. So that's why I'm confused. Yeah, Big Night. Stanley Tucci. Tucci, they made the Italian. I'm already out. Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalube.

I don't want to go to that party. You don't know this movie and you do Cinephobe? It doesn't qualify. It's 96% of Rod Tomatoes. Why would I know this movie? I only know movies that are poorly rated. Poorly rated, Dave Damachet. Like your time machine.

What about Would you like to be with the Ewks after the evil empire No Vanquished once and for all? I don't want to And Anakin's corpse is there And they burn it

On a On a bonfire And they all stand around and sing I mean, I mean, We have to break in. The chat is going off on Chris. I don't get it.

This chat just doesn't get it. But I do see one in the pink, two in the tink. Oh, wow. I don't want to bang Tinkerbell. Tony, you know that moment at a party or a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks? I know it well. It's usually when I show up. Everybody goes crazy. Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Quervo.

I'm walking like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it. But again, it's the Quervo effect. It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd, just start standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it quervo. Keep it quervo, baby. Ah, folks, listen up. You wouldn't want an offense alignment

to play wide receiver, would you? No, you wouldn't. You need the right person. You need the right equipment for the job. That applies to football, and it definitely applies below the waist. That's where the lawnmower lineup from Manscape comes in.

Okay. She dies. Kind of want to see her alive. Nah. No, no, no, no, no, no. Tinkerbell's 73 years old. Or... Now want to bang Tinkerbell.

Or, or would I go to, Dave Damashik, would I rather go to the party at Jabba's Palace. Oh, that's a fun. That's a fun gig, although you might get dropped through the floor and eaten by a giant beast. So that's the downside of the. I'll mind my peas and cues. I'll be well-behaved.

What about the old school party that sort of starts the whole fraternity? Yeah. Snoop show. We're going streaking. Snoop-loop. But he also ended up sleeping with Mitch. slept with an underage Eliza Dushku was

Eliza Dushko? Was it Eliza Dushko? 20 C.B. Oh, oh, oh. Back to school, the party that Rodney Dangerfield throws at the made over dorm room, they connect the three or four dorm rooms,

you know, and they put the hot tub and all of that in there. An Oingo-Boongo place. Not a big Oingo Boingo fan, but still would be a neat thing if they were playing your college gig. What about Kajagoooooooooooo? Caja Gugu is there? Yeah.

In a pinch. In a pinch. Cajaggu in a pinch. Cajagoo, LaMalle. I'm going too shy. Hush, hush. I do I, you're too. Shashah.

Hush, hush. I do I. You're too. I'll tell you who was the big loser there. Was the bully from the diving team. And you have to really be a bully if you're diving team. If you're the bully of your diving team, that's what he is. He also is, of course,

the bad guy and karate kid. What about banana ramah? You're passing on banana ram. You're passing on banana ramba. In a pinch, I'm going LaMalle. In a pinch. Oingo. Boingo?

Cajagoo, Banana Ramma. What about the wedding The wedding and wedding crashers where they have to go away to go on the island and they get the change of clothes and everything? So the wedding where Christopher Walken,

his daughter's getting married. I shouldn't have danced. Why I have to show off like that? If you see the crap case, give me the crap cakes. That one? Ooh, you know what? I mentioned it earlier in the show. Bilbo Baggins birthday party.

No way. No way. Why not? They smell awful. I want to see girls at this party. Well, Jessica Smetana is going to be there. They're going to be a hobbit girls. He did Wrigley Field to scale.

He has nowhere to put it. What about BOW-W-W in a pinch? Okay. Okay. Jeremy, you had an interesting observation against my better judgment. Wang Chung in a pinch. I did. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Not even in a pinch. Headliner. You asked the question, what's a team that I have no rooting interest for other than I want to see their uniforms on a bigger stage? Yeah. When you guys were talking about UCLA and Oregon earlier, and ironically, like most people think about Oregon's uniforms, but UCLA has one of my favorite uniforms. sets, just the color scheme that they have. And I found myself thinking like, oh, man, I'm rooting for UCLA to go to the college football

playoff because if I'm going to have to watch every random college football playoff game, I would at least like one that is aesthetically pleasing. So why not root for certain teams due to their uniform set so that I get a chance to see them? I'll root for Texas over Oklahoma because I'm more interested in seeing Texas's uniforms at some point. I like that burnt orange color. So for me, I'm going to find myself rooting for certain teams throughout the course of this college football season.

maybe even throughout the NFL season, where I have no rooting interest in the game, outside of the fact that I like the aesthetic matchup that might come later on. I tell you, before I worked at ESPN, that doesn't happen to you? Before I worked at ESPN, Syracuse, Syracuse basketball.

I always like Syracuse basketball. They're like Carolina basketball uniforms. And then I worked at ESPN, and I discovered that like, oh, everyone there is. Everyone went to Syracuse, and it's like this whole thing. And ever since then, I can't stay in Syracuse.

I can't stand that color. Toga party, Toga Party and Animal House. Thompson twins in a pinch. Three band members. None of them Thompson. None of them twins. Amen or sure? Yeah, but I had some winners.

A couple winners. Georgetown. Georgetown is another uniform that I've always liked from afar. Miami. Miami Hurricanes. Yeah. Basketball and football, like when they were Nike. Yeah, we'll be Nike next year.

Nelson in a pinch. Texas Rangers baseball jerseys. Oh, that one. That one went. That A-Rod, Texas Rangers jersey? Everyone had that. That's a good shout. Mr. Mr.

Oh, no. You guys are terrible. Yeah, I'm going to allow Mr. Mr. Mr. But I am not going to allow these awful uniform takes. Please step in drip driller, Mike Ryan. What are you talking about?

And especially Amin, Amin and I park our cars in the same garage on so many subjects. but we could not be further apart on uniform or late. I mean, there's nothing we agree on in uniforms. You have terrible tasting. Or time machines. You have terrible taste in time machines.

Well, listen, I'm sorry, mine isn't fancy enough to accommodate all your desires. But what we're talking about right now is your terrible taste in uniforms. The Texas Rangers is a great uniform. The Miami Hurricanes is a great uniform. Miami Hurricanes has got a great color scheme. The uniform that we address the issue with the. piping. Last night was an incredible color clash on Thursday night football. That bucks Dallas Cowboys game really pops. And even though the Cowboys uniform makes absolutely no sense, it provides

incredible color clashes. And I don't know about you, but I am breathless waiting for next Thursday night when we have a color versus color matchup. Dave, you know what's happening, right? We have Seahawks. Seahawks Broncos both in home throwback. How far back are we throwing? 90s, early 90s? So we're getting that really royal blue for the Seattle Seahawks. I'd say 85 about, right? Is Mike?

Isn't that more accurate? Broncos, we're going Super Bowl-era Broncos, not like Elway in the 80s? No, no, no, we're going with the orange crush. Oh, okay. Yeah, with the light blue helmet. That is Elway era. I know, but he was like talking Elway Super Bowl wins. Yeah, Super Bowl wins is what I was.

meant like, you know, the tarot... With the big horse. Yeah, one of the great redesigns because of the Nike thing. Yeah, boy, let me tell you something. That house an upgrade. Hey, Dave Damashik, this is something to ponder. Best uniform upgrades in history. Well, you just named one that is not.

What? Yeah, he's going to hate that. Navy blue is an upgrade from the... So much better. So much better. It was so cool looking. It was so cool. It looked like they came into the future.

I'll tell you another one. Phoenix Suns from what they were in the 80s to when Charles Barkley got there. Best upgrade ever. That sunburst, who. Here's another upgrade. Toronto Raptors. Get rid of the dinosaur and just go sleek and modern

with the basketball with the claw marks on it. Wooee! No, talk to me about upgrades. Miami Heat. Get rid of that old bimbo coals looking ass jersey. and get the clean look that remains to this day. Upgrades. Surly, you got some upgrades.

Well, the ones that are sort of on the table, that we love the ones, we genuflect to the uniforms that I think we collectively kind of get tired of. People swoon now over the cream sickles of the buccaneers. But I remember when they changed the uniforms to the pewter. Upgrade. People thought that was a great change. It was.

Similarly, I think it was 1980-ish. that the Jets swapped out their white helmets, Joe Namath, for the green that I think people now like, but I feel like people are starting to pine for the white helmets now because we've had a couple of years with the green, and that's how it goes. You know what I pine for? I pine for the Giants helmets. Let's say giants on it, not New York. In one. No, that you're wrong about. See, that's a classic example of how people are wrong about things. And a great upgrade was throwing it back, I guess, too, when Eli was winning those Super Bowls. The NY lowercase is cooler than the Giants. You love that Giants one because you associate it with LT.

Absolutely. I love seeing the throwback look occasionally. I think their main look is better. The nameplates on the back really pop. But they have the same thing that Dallas Cowboys' Homeset has, which is, it bothers me. The helmet is not the same color blue as a jersey. Right. Yeah.

I like the Padres. Padres did a really good job because what the Padres did is they had in like the 70s and 80. they had like what they have now, which is the brown and the orange, the yellow, and like all of those colors going on. They eventually changed that to where they changed their uniform set, added navy to it, to where it was sort of navy and orange. Then they got rid of the orange and they basically made it just navy in the early 2000s

with sort of like a beige around it. It was horrible. And then they finally added as an alternate jersey, they brought back, oh, here's a little bit of brown. And then finally in 2020, they were like, you know what? We're going all the way back. We're getting pinstripes on Padres at home. With the brown and the yellow, we're getting pinstripes on the road.

I love what the Padres uniforms look like now. And that was a huge upgrade by taking a piece of the past and bringing it to the present. Team Canada hockey. Here's the best. I mean, the best one is, I'd be remiss if I didn't throw this one in there, the coolest one ever. And I love the two-tone blue of the old Pittsburgh penguins. But when they upgraded to black and gold so that all three of the local teams wear black and gold, That is the coolest uniform-related thing for any sports town there is.

I mean, it's a sensible upgrade for sure. Is that the coolest? I think me... Yes. I just have told you no one. Well, I don't believe you. I don't believe you, Dave Damashik. What's cooler than that that all the teams wear black and gold,

the entire city has a color scheme? What's cooler is every franchise having its own identity. And I'd say, oh, what are you guys doing? I'd like to do that, too. Mike Ryan, your thoughts. I do think the Tampa. The pay bucks are probably the greatest rebrand ever because it totally turned their fortunes because they were a loser franchise when they were wearing the creamsicle orange.

And now it's fun to do the throwback in doses, but it had been time. Everyone was frustrated. They weren't very good. The logo was terrible. It was like this weirdo with a mustache and a hat. Yeah. They immediately rebranded and began playing wrong. Buccaneer Bruce, that chappot tilted askew.

Oh, yeah. He's like, like, Chris Cote. in Dracula or whatever the hell he was doing five minutes ago there. The worst one, the danger of doing that, Mike Ryan, of changing your uniforms is now the Patriots are jammed up with their greatest memories ever and they're in a tough spot now. I advocated when Tom Brady left. That was the moment that's when you put, that's when you, that's when you, that's when you dump out on the flying Elvis uniforms so that that era stands alone.

And otherwise you just go back to Pat Patriot. you just leave those highlights to that was that era of time and now we're back to our better get-ups. Don't change your uniforms mid-dignancy. That's the real. Houston Rockets, two titles in a row. They change uniforms. Never again, the Pittsburgh Penguins, two straight Stanley Cups change their uniforms. They don't win in 93 even though they were the best team in the league.

The St. Louis Rams in the nice gold and blue, they win the Super Bowl. They go to the Super Bowl. In the Metallic Gold, they lose to the aforementioned Patriots. I do want to make an NFL note here just pass along the wire. Mike Ditka has passed away. Oh. Oh, no. That's a shame. Dicka. My mother grew up in his neighborhood, literally on his block. And it's a little off color, but he was amused by this story. So I will tell it to you quickly now. Aliquippa Hopewell, PA, Steeltown and all of that. He was a guest in the early days of the Jimmy Kim, of Jim. Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, Dave, at three minutes left. When we play

the three minute mark. You know what that meant? That meant it was my time to get to talk baseball. Okay? We get three minutes of baseball on this show. Okay? We get three minutes of baseball in this show. You hate Mike Dicca. Yeah. Yeah. Great. Thanks for making me say that. I, yep. I care more about baseball. We had the Guardians. We had the White Sox. It was both teams winning on the road. This is an incredible time in baseball where you've still got one series remaining in the division series. And it's an actual in-division series between these teams from the AL Central. The Guardians losing both games at home. Oh my God.

The power of the Pope. The White Sox. They're going to do everything. Look at the blackout in Chicago. It's going to be unbelievable. But then you had a back-and-forth game last night. In the third inning, the White Sox take a two-nothing lead. Then three runs in the fifth by the Guardians.

Then a couple of more in the bottom of the fifth by the White Sox. Then how about this? Double, single, single, single. Oh my God. The Guardians win nine to five. It's been an unbelievable series between these two things. And hey, guess what? What?

We got the best two words in sports coming up tomorrow. Game five. Okay. The deciding game five between the Guardians and the White Sox baseball is in an unbelievable place. Here here. That deserves a toast. Worth a toast is presented by Cuervo. Keep it fun.

Keep it Cuervo. Keep it. Major League Baseball. We got like 10 seconds left in this show. We didn't get to play the Dak Prescott video. Some dude calling him, was it awful? What they called? Embarrassing.

Embarrassing. And then him turning around. And then the guy apparently didn't say shit. Week 5 is packed. Buccaneers Cowboys on Thursday night. Eagles, Jaguars from London, Bears, Packers, renewing one of football's oldest rivalries, Niners' Hawks, South West, and Bill's Rams,

closing everything out on Monday night. I've used game time to get into some incredible games. And each experience reminds me there is no substitute for being inside the stadium.

Tony, you know that moment at a party or at a tailgate where everything just sort of clicks. I know it well. It's usually when I show up. Everybody goes crazy. Yeah, you usually take all the credit for it, but it's because Tony usually walks in with Querevo. I'm walking like this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Quervo is a thing that turns hanging out into this is the night. It has that effect on people. It does. You usually take the credit for it. But again, it's the Quervo effect.

It's like that moment in a big game where everyone in the crowd just starts standing up, hooting and hollering. Keep it, Quervo. Keep it, quervo, baby.
