The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - Our Show's Effort Jumps Off The Tape | Local Hour
Episode Date: September 22, 2026"That's some Samantha Bennett hair if I've ever seen it." Today is the day. Last week we heard No. 2 on Greg Cote's Top 70 Catchphrases, so we'll surely get his No. 1 today, right? He also, as a n...oted dog hugger, recorded a video about his future writing plans with dog hair all over him. Plus, Jeff Hafley says he's been getting compliments about his Dolphins team, which leads to a big bet between Dan and Greg. And should the national NBA media believe in Giannis Antetokounmpo, Pelle Larsson, and the Miami Heat more than they do? Today's cast: Dan, Greg, Roy, Chris, Jeremy, Tony, and Zaslow.

My favorite part of the football season is the confidence everybody has before it kickoff.
Zaslo already knows how the game is going to end.
Tony has studied every possible matchup and Chris Cody is convinced his fantasy team is unbeatable.
Then the game starts, everything immediately goes off the rails and suddenly nobody remembers making any of those predictions.
That's why a legendary game day starts with an ice cold Miller light.
Whether I'm at a tailgate, watching with friends, or settling in for a full Saturday of college football,
Miller Light is the beer I can depend on.
It's crisp, refreshing, and has a clean finish that hits perfectly during a hot South Florida game day.
Miller Light is the original light beer with great taste, and beer lovers have trusted it for more than 50 years.
Make game day legendary.
Go to Miller Lite.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.

Put a towel down.
Raspberry beret.
Ugh.

Leon Latt.
Mark Brunner.
Mark Brunel.
Marco Goldman.
Yeah, what he said.
Doug Cosby.
Terrence Mathis.
Percy Howard?
Percy Horvin.
But Percy Howard?
Howard Twilly.
Damn, I can't do anything with Twilly.
I thought we were supposed to build.
Pat Swilling.
How about this?
Tony Martin.
We're dancing.
Oh, what's the Martin?
Marty Lions.
I can't do anything with Lions.
There isn't a guy with the first name of Lions.
But you could go Eric Kippel.
I could.
Joey Harrington?
No, I didn't like that one.
That's the first one that I can.
Leonard Thompson?
All right, let's do this.
Harry Douglas?
Yeah.
Doug Martin.
Oh.
The Martin's top.
Oh, wait.
Marty is very difficult.
Yeah.
Can I go Schadenheimer?
Yeah, but whose first name is Schottenheimer?
I was going to go grammatica, and there isn't like a first name grammatica.
I was thinking, Mike, because you're the only other human being who cares about crap like this is
quarterbacks who started a Super Bowl who have two first names. Go.
Okay. All right. Hang on. I was not prepared for this.
What?
What? All right.
All right. Hang on.
Tom Brady.
Tom Brady is a great one.
All right, that's how we go.
Is this Mr. Lister?
You want to go, Mr. Lister here?
They had to have started in a, don't cheat.
No, hey.
I just want to see the Super Bowl matches.
Come on, let's do this.
Tom Brady, that's how I'm starting.
All right, I'll come back with Jim Kelly.
Nice.
You've done that, see, what's unfair is you've done this before.
I've never done this before.
I've never done this before.
I just am fascinated by things like this.
Does this count?
Cam Newton?
Newton?
Yeah.
Newt, yeah, newt's a real name.
Yeah, all right.
You've done this before, and I haven't.
I have not done this before.
You've definitely done this before.
I am interested in the subject.
That doesn't mean that I've considered the subject.
That doesn't mean I've done it before.
Here's one for you.
Len Dawson.
Matt Ryan.
Dawson's a first name.
Yeah, Dawson works.
Matt Ryan also.
All right, you go.
We're looking for winners.
No, I'm just glorified.
Oh, are you about to.
tap? No. You're reaching for that rope.
Oh. This is when like Kurt Engle drags you back to the middle of the room.
You can talk your stuff. I'm about to talk a name into the microphone that keeps this Mr.
Lister going. That name is Craig Morton. Russell Wilson.
You son of a bitch. You son of a bitch. I could go, is this a loud Roy? I know you're
now you're going to come down hard on me about this one. But Terry,
Bradshaw. You could be Bradshaw. Right?
You know, you can be, Terry Bradshaw works. You can be a Bradshaw.
Bradshaw. All right. I'll go, JBL. I'll go Kurt Warner.
Oh, Warner. It was sitting right there for me the whole time. Dang it. I left some meat on the
bone there. That's a bummer. Oh, Ken Anderson.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't have they like be like, well, I
guess I'll allow that one. Anderson is a name. Anderson Cooper is a name.
That's another two. Tony Eason, was he the starter?
Eason is not a first name. Eason can be a first name. It's a white people name.
Eason can be a white people name.
It's not a first name. Roy, you are the judge. Take it away. Mike's right. It's a white people.
It's a white people name. There is no. All right, then prove to me that there are five people
on the big blue marble name Eason. Eason is a name. If there was a T. If there was a T.
in there, Easton. No, Easton is a thing.
Okay. Easton is a thing. Yes,
Chris Cody is absolutely right. Where
are we in the fantasy draft, by the way?
I think you're in round two. Am I up here?
I got to check. Give me an update
on what I've missed. You have Stan Humphreys for adding that
S. Yeah. And Doug Williams, too, man.
If we're allowing Stan Humphreys
and Doug Williams, then I'm
you know what I think is a name, actually,
Steve Young. Do people
go by the name Young? Young?
If you think East is a name,
then Young is a name. That's all right. Young Thub.
is a name. There's that one piece of
evidence. There's no evidence of anybody
ever being named Eason.
Joe Montana. That's not a name.
Montana? Montana? Montana?
Montana is a name. Also,
Ison Ramson was a tight end for
Washington State and then
played in the NFL for the Cardinals,
the Niners, the Broncos, and the
Bills. Eason's a name. Montana's a real name.
People are go by the name. Now I think you're
you're allowing it because of Hannah,
But is there a Montana anything?
Montana Jennings?
That sounds like a white girl name.
Montana's planning brunch.
There was a girl on Love Island, UK, who went by Montana.
She was called Montana, as they say in the UK.
All right.
By the way, Dave, you're on the clock.
Since you picked Jonathan Taylor.
Then it was James Cook, Sequin Barkley, Justin Jefferson, C.D. Lamb, Derek Henry, O'Maryon Hampton, Kenneth Walker, Devon A. Chan.
You're on the clock.
All right.
I am going to take.
Does Matt Stafford count?
That sounds like an old white man name.
Stafford.
Stafford?
Stafford?
I'm asking.
All right.
Is Burrow a name?
Is Burrow a first name for anybody?
No.
No.
I feel like Mike Ryan is determining what people, what white people are willing to name their children.
I'm on my white people names game.
I'm dialed there.
Can I go Aaron Rogers?
It's pretty close.
It's close.
Rogers.
Horstead. Rogers Hornsby. Rogers Hornsby. Thank you, Roy, with the assist. Well, let's all be gentlemen
and agree to the San Humphrey's rule as a provision. It's close enough. We're all gentlemen here.
Yes. You have another one? I might be tapped. That angle lock is locked in, cinched in.
I don't know all the names you guys have said. Have you guys said Chris Chandler?
Oh, wow. Wow. That's a good one, man. That's a good one. That's good. That's real.
good. You know, uh, you know, oh, Damearino. Boom.
Doug Williams? We already did Steve Morton. Come on. Steve Martin.
Steve Martin, y'all. But, yeah, grandfathered then via the San Humphrey's provision.
Yeah. Does anybody know, um, Percy Howard's claim to fame in pro football lore?
Percy Howard caught one pass in his entire NFL career for the Dallas Cowboys.
It came in Super Bowl 10. It was a touchdown reception. Imagine that. Kind of cool.
Kind of sad, too.
But Mike.
Carrie Collins.
Collins.
I'm pulling the San Humphrey's provision.
Write that down as a podcast title, too.
The San Humphrey's provision.
The San Humphrey's provision is great.
My favorite part of the football season is the confidence everybody has before a kickoff.
Zazzo already knows how the game is going to end.
Tony has studied every possible matchup and Chris Cody is convinced his fantasy team is
unbeatable. Then the game starts, everything immediately goes off the rails, and suddenly
nobody remembers making any of those predictions. That's why a legendary game day starts with

Hey, it's Roy, and I want to talk to you about blinds.
I had one set of blinds that drove me crazy.
Every single morning, one little gap would let in a laser beam of sunlight that hit me right in the face.
And when I tried to roll them up, one side would always go higher than the other.
I live with it that way longer than I should have because replacing blinds felt like a whole project.

Jeremy Tache
It's the fun
This is the Dan Levatar show
I have my pick to make here now though
I took Jonathan Taylor already
I don't know the rules of the league Chris Cody
Do I are is PPR a big factor here
It is PPR and I would call that a huge factor
New game
Quarterbacks with a last name
That could be an old lady first name
Yeah. Oh. I'll begin.
Yep. Drake May.
Yep.
Don Meredith.
Oh.
Wow.
Jeez, man.
That was pretty good.
They're good.
Off the rip, you win.
I have to choose from Chase Brown,
Ashton Genty, no thank you.
Jeremiah, love, no thank you.
I already have Jonathan Taylor,
so taking a runner here doesn't make a ton of sense.
I could go among the past catchers here.
Drake London, A.J. Brown, could go tight end, McBride or Bowers, Nico Collins, Roy, how say you?
I agree.
All right.
I'm going Nico. I'm going Nico Collins.
If we're playing Uno on this new quarterback game.
Reverse. Yeah. Reverse is Fran Tarkington.
Sir Francis.
Mike, I'm starting with you on this one.
We discussed preseason polls earlier this week and how dumb they are.
and why they shouldn't exist.
But so long as they do,
are you in your own top 25 people?
Are we doing this like just like a hang or like morally?
Ooh, that's big.
Different answer for you?
Or is it just like you got to pull all those data points and you got to...
We're not at the pearly gates if that's what you're asking.
Do I like hanging out with myself?
Well, I mean, listen, is the measure for you with anybody that you hang out with is whether
or not they're getting into heaven?
We've already played that game.
No, I'm not, no.
You don't think you're going to heaven?
Oftentimes, I want to hang out with someone that doesn't think.
A lot of my friends are going to hell.
Yeah, that's Donald Sutherland and Animal House, his whole analysis, right?
Is it more fun to be bad than good?
But the thing is, like, I also, like, hell's a catch-all, right?
There's some really bad people in hell.
A lot of bad people. But there's also a lot of fun people.
There's probably some people down there that shouldn't be there, right?
They're like, I shouldn't be down there.
I didn't really hurt anybody.
I was joking.
Why am I bunkmates with Mussolini?
It was an accident.
Cody, do you think you're going to heaven?
I think I'm on the fence.
Really?
I think it could go either way.
Are you going to effort the rest of your days to make it into heaven?
Before I had a kid, I was definitely not going to heaven.
I think I've done some good things with my daughter that were balanced out.
Not crimson and cream.
I don't know if that gets you in.
Every other Friday night.
That might be.
One Friday night a month.
Correct.
Yeah.
Who is it at the...
I don't know about the gates of heaven.
Who is it? St. Paul? Peter?
Who's at the gate? One of those guys?
Peter.
Isn't that what he's going to do?
Like, I think I've done a lot of good things, Peter, and everything else.
Three words for you, Chris Cody.
Crimson and Cream.
My whole thing is when I get up to the pearly gates and they'll ratat-tat,
and they'll have a lot on me.
And it's going to be a lot of stuff that I don't want to hear.
But also, like, counterpoint, where were you when Carson Beck had the ball at the 40?
Yeah.
I was like, you had an opportunity to make sure I changed my life forever because I was making some promises.
I'll just fall back on I'm a showman.
I've said some things.
Who got hurt really?
So your angle is going to be to explain to St. Peter it was all a bit.
Right. He's going to be like, sister-in-law.
I'm like, I'm doing a thing.
I will have a back and forth.
There will be a back-and-forth.
I was on the mic.
Come on, man.
Rules don't apply there.
You get what I'm talking about St. Peter.
There's going to be a back-and-forth.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Speaking of sister-in-law, you can vote for the sueyes.
Lebitardaf.com.
Voting is still going.
I believe at least to the beginning of tomorrow all day today.

The website's great.
Levittardaf.af.com to vote.
So what's the final verdict?
Are you in your top 25?
Where do you rank?
No, I'm not in my top 25.
I'm others receiving votes.
After a rough year, I'm about 18 on mine right now.
You're in my top 25.
Really?
Yeah, you're in like, no, Chris, you're close.
Thank you.
You know what?
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to put together a list.
Damn it, college mic's going to be so high.
College mic's up there.
Top 25 people, I'm going to get to work.
Jeremy, don't sweat it.
You're not on.
What about is Ed Too Tall Jones on it?
Randy White, Harvey Martin?
Harvey Martin also.
You ask the question, though.
Are you in your top 25?
I think I'm probably.
at the back end of it. So, you know, do I have to know these people, like personally?
Wow. It's a good question. Because Tom Cruise is on there and I know people feel a certain way,
but I don't give a shit. Tom Cruise is on there. People you don't know. The first one who gets a shout
is Tom Cruise. Yeah, and I know that it's loaded, but I got to tell you, I don't care.
What? Okay. I don't care. That's how good Top Gun Maverick was. I, well, as I've told you
before, and I'll tell you again, I've had the occasion to hang out with one, Tom Cruise.
You did?
Yeah.
So, like, I was at Daytona, and so was Tom Cruise, and I did this hot lap, which I thought
I was going to get in, like, a full track suit and a helmet and get in, like, a NASCAR,
and go really fast, and said, I just hopped in a Toyota camera, and we putted along.
It wasn't as thrilling.
But I'm pretty sure in the pitch meeting, I had already done the driver's meeting,
which was cool.
I went to a driver's meeting.
Marshall Lynch was there.
AJ Stiles was there.
That was really cool.
But I was like, no, let's do the hot lap because I didn't get to do the hot lap at Talladega.
And then I'm on my phone after I just kind of, you know, we didn't go that fast, right?
I wanted to go fast.
So I was like, all right.
And we did that.
At least we drove on the track at Daytona.
And I open up my phone and I see how the driver's meeting is going.
God damn it, Tom Cruise is speaking at the driver's meeting.
I'm like, I really misplayed that one, pal.
I was really bummed because I don't get starstruck.
I'd get star struck, I think, with Tom Cruise.
That's a biggest star ever.
So as a part of if everybody,
missed it, the big announcement, Days of Thunder, two.
Annie, as he called her.
Incredible chemistry.
What are we thinking?
Oh, yeah.
What are we thinking?
Anne Hathaway is a new team owner that is, that inherited the team and is being questioned,
and she wants to send shockwaves to the sport, trust her gut, goes with the old driver.
Yes, that is the exact same plot of Formula One.
I was going to say any given Sunday also.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
And you know what?
Playing on.
That's a great formula.
Well, Hathaway.
What else could she possibly be?
Will she take Cruz as a lover over the course of this movie?
I think so.
I think so.
Do you think Nicole Kidman shows up?
I don't.
I don't think Nicole Kidman's character.
I don't think they're on good terms.
I don't think Bob Duval's going to be there.
No, he's not going to make it.
Yeah, it's going to be tough.
Maybe she's Bob Duval's daughter.
Is she a pit boss?
I once, Mike, I am with you on the Starstruck thing.
I'm going to name drop for you now, multiple times.
I was once, as we used to always do.
On Sundays, we would watch football at Jimmy Kimmel's house.
He was and is the greatest host.
You picked that up. You picked that up right now.
I won't do it.
I called it out before I dropped it.
You picked that up.
Before I dropped it, I told you what was coming.
The greatest host in the history of people, Jimmy Kimmel.
Really the greatest host.
Making pizzas for everybody and all the rest of us.
Oh, yeah.
Brick oven pizza.
Conan guy. All right. Well, then
I love Conan. You know what?
All right. Different
Top 25 people
that I haven't had the opportunity to hang out with.
Kim will not in the top 25. Cruise and Conan
in. All right.
This is going to get complicated if I include people I
haven't had the opportunity to hang out with.
I know, because then you have to see Tashay on Monday
again and how's that going to make him feel?
After a long weekend or on Tuesday.
I'm aware, y'all.
This is pretty high for Eagle Eye, but...
By the way, now that it's on my...
Now that it's on my mind, Labor Day, I have to speak out against it once again.
Then I'll get back to the dumb story.
The Labor Day, you guys are all celebrating this.
I understand it's a company holiday.
You guys are all taking it off.
You understand what it is.
It's the man's latest effort to dupe you.
Your suckers.
You're celebrating work.
It's right in the title.
Labor.
That's what you're taking the day off for?
Well, I'm viewing it as.
Yay, work.
This is about giving the labor an opportunity to rest.
It's our Shabbat.
Labor Day is the Shabbat of Labor.
But listen, I'm not about to fall into the trap of the man and honor him and his OG creation work.
I'm not going to, I'm not doing it.
I'm going to work on Labor Day to spite the man.
Take that.
What's your move?
The man.
I'm actually also going to work.
See? That's the way somebody with dignity does things. I'm not going to kiss the man's ass.
Someone just looking for multiple paychecks.
Worst holiday on the calendar. And that calendar does include Valentine's Day, the corporate decision.
Roy, you agree with that one?
Absolutely.
Yeah, Valentine's Day. Don't tell me when to celebrate love. You don't dictate to me.
That's not a decision I make with the head.
365.
That's right. And also,
I'm resentful of Valentine's Day because in the creation of this holiday, there is no rule that the woman has to get the fella a gift.
It's only a one way thing.
Why do I am I getting you flowers and chocolate and writing you a lovely letter and all the rest of it?
When's it my turn?
And dinner and dinner.
Roy, are you in your own top 25?
No, I'm not even in my own top 100.
What are we going to do about this?
Same note.
I think that's too far.
Put a smile on your face, Roy.
Yeah.
I am smiling.
I'm going to say it again.
Talk about hot takes.
I think you're delightful, Roy.
Thank you.
I appreciate you.
Now, I was at Jimmy Kimball's watching football, and John Hamm is a regular at these gatherings watching football.
There's name drop number two.
And I was in the midst of conversing with him.
There we go.
I was in the midst of talking to John.
ham regular guy wearing his st louis blues his tattered old ball cap and over his shoulder appeared
a glow in the archway of the door it was tom cruise in a black peacoat over a black turtleneck standing
in the door he was invited over to watch football at kimmills and he showed up 15 minutes before the
games ended but who cares and he brought his mom but who cares it was tom cruise and man mike
exactly what you would expect it to be like is exactly the experience I got. I forgot about
John Hamm. He was a ham and ager all of a sudden once Cruz showed up and Cruz came over and
he shook my hand. And I said, hi, I'm Dave. Hi, Dave. I'm Tom. That's intense. I was the only
person on the planet along with Tom. Have you ever been Starstruck by proxy? I don't know what
that means. So like I have a friend that has done some work with T.C. He gets the cake, the holiday
cake. You're familiar with a holiday cake? Yeah. Yeah, that Tom sends out to his close personal
friend. Oh yeah, yes, of course. Yeah, it's like a legendary thing. Do you know how that works?
He's not in his kitchen making cakes and then sending him like I found out how it works. He
contacts a bakery near, you know, in regions, right? He's got this worldwide mailing list for the
cakes. So he contacts a highly touted bakery and he makes sure that they follow his recipe to the
tea. So he individually contacts these local baker. His assistant does. Yeah. And they have to follow
the recipe. And everyone, like they've compared cakes and the taste test is very, very similar. And that's
how he goes about it. But the one time I had a friend that was worked, that's worked with him before.
And he's like, hey, come out to the bar, the bar that on the corner in. And the text bubbles were there.
And there was like a brief moment where I was like, is Tom Cruise about to show up to this bar?
And I was like, ah, hyperventilating.
He couldn't make it.
But he responded right away.
He's a very kind man to his friends.
Imagine getting a cake or a pie from Tom Cruise.
That would be some victory in life.
I've never met him, but he's on my list.
He gets a pass.
Ooh, Dominic Foxworth.
I'm getting close to, I'm getting close to.
to this top 25.
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.
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.

Dan Labatar.
The person who insists that Dave Demachic.
when they make a list of the great well the first one is when they say of all time
this is the then levater show all right here we go it's time to play in honor of football
season's arrival mr lister let's go who's up let's see a show of hands back there
roy you could be in mike is ready to go in mike is good at this game so i think he deserves
to be handicapped against tachie here we go the category is
league leaders in passing yardage in a single season in the 21st century ago.
Oh, no.
Who goes first?
Guy led a quarterback led the league in passing yards at least once in this millennium.
I'm going to let Tashay go first.
Patrick Holmes.
Tom Brady.
Tom Brady?
Well, let me just make sure.
Just because they won Super Bowls doesn't mean they, they, they, they took.
The Moss here.
And I'm thinking that second year with the Broncos.
Tom Brady in 2007 did do it.
He also did it in 2005, Tashay.
Who did you say Peyton?
Peyton Manning did do it in the year 2000 and in 2013.
Kurt Warner.
Kurt Warner had to have done it in the greatest show on turf year, right?
He must have.
Let's see, he did.
2001, he led the league.
That was not the greatest show on tour.
turf season. That was the year that they lost to the Patriots in Nola. Drew Breeze.
Drew Breeze has to be correct. Yes. Back to back. Oh, wow. He did it five times led the league in
passing years. So do I win because of that? Dan Marino.
Remember the borders I put on this? I'm sorry. No, I don't. Well, what are the borders?
Wow. Tashay, do you want to be cooler? Oh, 21st century. I'm sorry. Sorry. I'll allow it to play on. He
No, no, no, no, no, that's right.
No, no, no, we're going to let it go on.
I'm impressed by Tashay.
Look at him.
It's got the world on a string.
Listen, he's in charge.
I also need more time.
World's his oyster.
Can I fix it?
No, you should fix it.
All right.
Yeah, I was leaving it for you.
Tua?
Two.
The dolphin in 23?
I'm not saying, it might not be it, but if it was, it would be in 23.
Tua.
Tago Violo is on the list.
Wow.
There you go.
Yeah, here.
All right.
Here's where I get nervous, but I think it happened once.
Aaron Rogers.
Aaron Rogers.
Fitting for you.
I don't know why it's fitting for me.
I'm vaccinated.
No, he's not on the list.
No Aaron Rogers.
Never led the league in...
The first time Aaron Rogers has ever let me down.
You fool!
I'm going to give you another shot as a man of justice.
He should be able to clean that up, yeah.
Okay.
Not Aaron Rogers.
I'm trying to think of some good...
There's some wacky names on here.
Like Tua?
Anything whackier than Tua?
Well, 20.
It's almost impossible.
2019 is a stunner.
And then you remember, oh, yeah, there is a statistical oddity to this one that made it sort of like,
yeah, he led the league in passing yards, but also he did that.
And so that.
What about Matthew Stafford?
Matthew Stafford is correct.
He did it just six months ago.
I'm torn between two perennial MVP.
Some real wacky ones.
Yeah.
I got to go wacky based off damage six.
There's one, a guy who jumped onto the moving train.
It was an offensive machine and then he got his crack at leading it and was dynamite.
Maybe the best quarterback to play on this era of a real high-end offense.
Oh, boy.
That's not much of.
a clue. I'm not doing that.
Can I go?
Let me go
Josh Allen. I think I'm out.
Josh Allen is not correct.
Tashay, you are our winner.
What an upset. This is great news for Stanford.
Was Lamar Jackson on that list?
Omar Jackson wasn't on the list.
Was Ben Rathesberger on that list?
Rathusberger.
Rathosberger is on the list in 2014.
grade.
Is James Winston on that list?
How about the fact that Ben Rutherzberger
threw for 500 yards in back-to-back games?
That's wild.
Yeah, that was why I was thinking.
He's got to be on.
Also, wild is the James Winston is on the list.
He's the guy I was referring to as the oddity
because he did lead the league in passing.
He also led the league in interceptions.
I don't remember what the total was.
It was a gargated.
That was a great game.
Here is the wacky,
wacky one. This guy won the MVP, if memory serves, Rich Gannon. The guy I was referring to
the best quarterback to play in a high-end offense, Dante Culpepper with the Minnesota Vikings in 2004.
That's right before he came here. That's the guy you were talking about where he was just the latest one
to run that offense. Yeah, but I think if you look back on it, Randall Cunningham, obviously the 15 and
one year as great as he was in Warren Moon, but I think Culpeper was the one that sort of
presented as this guy's destined for the Hall of Fame and all the rest of it.
wild one
Matthew
Matt Shob
is on that
Matt Shob
in a pinch
I don't think he deserves
Wow
Although Matt Shob is really
more of a Matthew
now that we look
back on that
than he is a Matt
Oh Matt Ryan
Speaking of
Was he the year
That they blew it
In the Super Bowl?
No
And the one that I guess
kind of makes sense
but now it hits
differently
Deshawn Watson
Whoa
Wow
It's a spicy
Do we want to go again?
Do we want to go another round?
Yeah, can we go to the 20th century now?
Yeah, yeah.
Can you use Roy instead?
No, man, you did great.
Yeah, you were doing good.
You won.
Who are my two biggest university of Miami fans in there?
I know obviously Mike Cron.
Certainly not me.
It'd be Mike versus the three of us combined.
Okay, good.
I love that game.
That's a good one.
Here we go.
Ready?
Roy, is it you?
It would be, in terms of like, history, like knowledge of the program,
I would put Roy,
limited knowledge.
Roy is the Dave Kingman of Mr. Lister.
He strikes out a lot,
but when he catches it,
it goes a long way.
I honestly think Roy and I
versus Mike is a fair fight.
I mean, it's probably not a fair fight.
Mike's definitely got the edge.
I'm just saying,
I put this one down.
I put this one out of you.
Handicap match.
I thought this would be a heavyweight bout
if we had Mike Ryan versus Zaslo,
then Zaslo decided to jump a plane
and go off to Baton Rouge to watch Tiger.
v. Tiger, Death Valley, v. Death Valley. So here we go. Mike Ryan v. Everybody else back there.
Teams that have defeated Miami in bowl games. Mike, you go first.
Jesus. Wisconsin, about a half a dozen times. Penn State.
2009, 2017, 2018, to be accurate, Mike. You say Penn State? That's correct. The Fiesta Bowl.
the gate, I think more than any other game, many other, any other event.
I know that people in Miami maybe have a hard time really embracing this reality that
you guys are perceived and continue to be perceived as villainous in the college football
landscape.
And no more, the incident, in hindsight now, it's such a laughable thing.
But they all wore the army fatigues.
The army fatigues coming off the plane.
And that was enough.
And the irony of that is that they were playing the good kids, the golden kids from Penn State, from Happy Valley.
That's been turned on its ear ever since.
All right, I've bought you enough time.
Go.
Is it me?
Oh, no.
Is it right back to me?
Rutgers.
We're going to.
Yeah, we lost some Rutgers in the bad boy mowers pinstripe bowl.
I was there in the freezing rain.
Like, you guys are going to lose.
This was a controversial loss.
Ohio State.
Correct.
Nebraska.
Nebraska.
I'm going through my contact list.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
Don't be looking at any lists.
You shouldn't be regarding anything.
I'm formulating my top 25 people of all time.
Okay.
Nebraska is correct.
Yeah, Orange Bowl, pal.
All right.
Okay, I was just making sure.
And they also lost to them in the 1962 Gotham Bowl.
Alabama.
Alabama, right?
That memorable sugar bowl?
Who's the DB who comes and strips the ball away?
George Teague.
George Teague.
Very nice.
Very nice.
Kind of your depth here, pal.
I'm not out of my depth with anything.
Maybe they are.
I'm not out of my depth.
Yeah, we lost in a sumble to Notre Dame.
George Teague, what did George Teague?
What's his most memorable moment as a professional football player?
George Teague played for the Dallas Cowboys and the Miami Dolphins.
Yes.
Yeah.
What did he do when he was on the Dallas Cowboys?
What is arguably at least his most memorable moment?
Explain it to me.
Knocking Terrell Owens off the star.
Oh, that was Teague?
Yeah.
I think so, right?
Yeah.
No, Emmett Smith spiked the ball on the star.
Okay, here we're going.
I want Notre Dame in the Sun Bowl.
Roy, what do we got?
God damn it, Chris.
He's not even trying, dude.
I mean, there's low-hanging fruit for you guys.
The lowest of low-hanging fruit.
You shouldn't have to say the hole.
We lost some Florida?
Florida.
No, no, no.
They beat Florida.
I think he sneezed.
That was a sneeze.
Yeah.
Florida.
Are you going to the mall later?
See if this gives you, see if you get any day.
deja vu here. When you look at me, Dave, sitting in this room, and Roy, you sitting in that room?
Oh, you're talking about Indiana last season? Yeah, that's the one I'm trying to get you to pick up on it.
Yeah, that makes sense. We lost the Cal in the Emerald Bowl. That's correct. You did. The Emerald Bowl.
Yeah, it was in the San Francisco Giants ballpark. It looked like when you said the Emerald Bowl and I said correct as if you needed me to fact check you on that, it looked like Chris Cody and Roy were shot at the exact.
same time or punched in the gut.
Because California popped in my head.
They both just slumped back in their respective chairs.
Remember they played at Yankee Stadium a couple seasons ago?
Yeah, he already mentioned that one.
Damn it.
Pinstrype Bowl.
Nothing, fellas?
Come on, boys.
I mean, in lieu of a better option, just name a good football team.
They plays college.
Anybody can do that.
Name a fucking bad one.
Because I got one.
I got a bad one we lost, too.
Vanderbilt.
No, we didn't play Vanderbilt.
Carolina.
You don't need the name of that box score of the Shreveport Independence Bowl
against Louisiana Tech.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, you could do that, but I bet don't listen to your, your foes advice and do bad teams.
Louisiana Tech.
Take legendary teams and the old land on one.
Did we get shut out by Louisiana Tech?
Did we lose?
Did we get shut?
I think we might have lost 14 to zero.
Look that up.
What the hell happened?
You, the Miami, the University of Miami, in my lifetime.
in the last decade, no less, lost a bowl game to Louisiana Tech.
I have no recollection of that.
14, nothing.
Trauma, pal.
Trauma.
You also lost to LSU.
They literally beat the shit out of us.
They were swinging helmets and a chick-fil-A-ball.
They beat the hell out of us.
Bucknell, Clemson, Syracuse, Colorado, UCLA, Tennessee, Arizona.
You said Cal, Wiscoe, Louisville.
South Carolina.
I said South Carolina.
But have you considered Matt Flynn?
Oh, we are back.
