We went super sportsy today and I still don't feel like we talked about all of the football stuff

that probably you guys wanted to talk about. We didn't talk about the Bengals and Joe Burrow is just having amazing statistics and going 0-3. Like, 107 points the last three games, more than 1,000 yards, 10 touchdowns, one interception, 0-3. Four and eight.

We didn't talk about Russell Wilson having the second best game of his life, and Pittsburgh winning a game the way that you didn't think Pittsburgh could win games, which is outscoring Joe Burrow at his best. So that part's confusing. We had a lot of football somehow that we didn't get to because we were so busy talking about college kids

planting a flag. Yeah, all the things we didn't cover on this show, they're on God Bless Football. But the thing we wanna know is how'd you do in the listener league? Ooh, yeah, this is the big week. How'd you do in the listener league? Oh, yeah Do I notice we didn't cover that yet either, but how did I do you tell me this is the listener league presented by Smyrna Go to DK ng co slash smirnoff presented by smirnoff the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. Please tell you I don't know your username How would I know how you did? I am Dan Levitard if it was that I would know

You guys to do it for me well, no, no, It's not, I am Dan Levitard. If it was that, I would know for sure. I'll tell you how I did it, thank you for asking. I asked you guys to do it for me. Well no, no, that's not how that works. You can't auto-draft this either, right? Do it for you. We can't do it for you, come on. This has several security measures in place and they're not gonna pretend to be you. Actually, you know what, what's your social?

I could do it for you. What's your social? And then we're gonna need some banking info. What's your mother's maiden name? You set that up. And then like, that's a whole thing. How did I do? Great question, Dan, finished 75th.

Oh, just out of the money. Now, Thomas, as you may know as Mr. Hockey from Ice Ice Baby, he finished the money this week. I believe he finished in 20th place. So he was very excited about that situation. Money's just there for the taking. I had a good strategy this week, and I actually have a good strategy for next week

that I think I'm gonna implement, because my good strategy for this week wasn't quite good enough. Now it's not my fault players were getting injured. That's always the situation. Cooper Cup does nothing for you. What are you supposed to do? I believe in Cooper Cup. He did nothing for me. Baker got hurt and then he wasn't hurt. He came back in. He played but didn't have a great fantasy performance for me again. You can compete against this DKG.co slash smirnoff 75th place Dan I'm headed in the right direction. I Will figure out how to get signed up next week I asked you guys to handle that for me this week you and Cynthia and security No, but I want to actually play with the listeners, but I was asking you to get me started.

Well, it doesn't sound like you helped me do what I needed to do there. You want him to build an account, right? No, all I wanted is it made easy for someone who was requesting help, and Billy is incapable of that. No, that's not true. An entire career, I've watched it grow over the years. Cynthia said she was gonna handle it,

so that's a Cynthia's handling situation, you know what I mean? Plus, I mean, I'm compromised, I can't, yeah, confetti's falling, they're celebrating my 75th place finish. I can't pick a team for you and pick my own team, then what are we supposed to do? But then you'll accuse me of sabotage,

and I would never sabotage. You mentioned the Bengals, Dan, teams are 79 and seven when scoring at least 30 points this year. The Bengals have four of those losses. They're going to waste Joe Burrow's career. Mike Ryan did you just have, that's what he's saying after the game. He says, I've got to be better. I've always got to be better.

How much better? I feel so much pressure. I mean, there's mistakes in that one. Did you just catch Mike Ryan, a piece of confetti that is still in our ceiling from the Peacock announcement that we had joined Peacock. I think that's what that's from. So not finishing 70-50. So there are a number of things that I still wanted

to get to, Stugatz, that I did not. Mike Evans made the greatest catch I've ever seen. There's one of those every weekend. Every single weekend, there's the greatest catch I've ever seen. Strange player. I mean, he just caught a ball with one hand that I don't think most human beings can grab a football that's being thrown

that hard with one hand in the position as close as he was to being out of bounds. And every weekend I'm seeing five of these plays all over the place. The Colts going for two. I've wanted this all my life. You guys saw it, right? Nobody cares because it's Colts Patriots.

But at the end of the game, not just going for two, but doing what Miami wouldn't do. Yep, Richardson's our guy. We're just giving him the ball. You all know this, right? Everybody knows this. The announcers are saying, they're all saying, yes, this is just going to be Richardson. They're going to put their whole future in. He can get three yards. We trust him to get three yards. I would have killed for it to be from the three yard line like they had it but my main takeaway from that game is I was like I went into that game like ugh this game sucks there's no way this game is going to be good.

It was great. Thankfully the red zone will never show it. Both those quarterbacks different ways to get there but they're showing you a little something Drake May that's a sweet spot for the Patriots. You think you have your quarterback and you're not having a good season? He's good. Yeah, it's a great loss.

He's got, he is averaging more yards per rush than Michael Vick did when he broke the record for average yards per rush from a quarterback. Did you guys know? I did not know this until yesterday. It was one of the many things that I learned that Tony Spirano Jr. is the offensive line coach for the Colts and it just made me think, God it has to be funny to

grow up as a kid and just want to be an offensive line coach because your dad was one and just follow him into the family business. Makes me smile. I'm gonna be anonymous the rest of my life or maybe the Dolphins are high on me and everyone will think they're crazy, but I'm just gonna go it as an offensive line coach, and he looks exactly like you would imagine Tony Spirano's kid looks, which is like Tony Spirano looked

when he was the offensive line coach a million years ago. You have Don Shula's grandson DCing at the knee of Sean McVeigh, so he'll obviously get a head coaching job soon. Gary Kubiak's son is coaching in there. Chris, do you think this is merit-based? They work hard, all of them. Damn good.

Shula, good coaching name, right? Ibra Fluse, not so much Kubiak, not really. Bryce Young. This is Super Bowl winning champion. I think I have to play the result like which. You do, yes. We left out Bryce Young, huh? What about him?

Yeah, you know, in terms of young quarterbacks that are emerging on the scene. You guys mentioned grandparents, grandchildren, and people getting old, or nepotism in general. I did not know until yesterday that the adult diaper, unless I have this wrong, unless I was watching the commercial wrong, is not called Depends. the company is called Depend,

it is not plural. And the only reason I know this is because I'm like, are you shitting me? Emmett Smith, yes I did that on purpose. Are you shitting me? Emmett Smith is doing Depend ads? He's doing it. It doesn't sound right.

It wasn't, no it wasn't, it wasn't for diapers. I don't know that Emmett Smith's agent or he would go in on diapers It was depend other products, but I knew neither of these things I knew neither that it's depend not depends. Did you what did you guys think? Did you guys not think that the company was called depends? I've always heard depends. Yeah, what's what's going on here? Are you in the market or I'm just watching a commercial for Emmett Smith. Your algorithm got you, huh? You guys tell me, you guys, are you guys not feeling that

the way I'm feeling that? It's Emmett Smith. What exactly are you feeling? Emmett Smith is doing commercials for a company that does adult diapers. Why are you watching it so closely?
