The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again. Smyranoff belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smyrnaf. Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

Starting point is 00:01:05 Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit triple zero. Always drink your Yeagermeister ice cold. That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day. Well, that's just a personal decision.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Brushing your teeth. Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee on an electric fence. Okay, maybe there are two rules.

Starting point is 00:02:23 Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for this. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching band to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
Starting point is 00:02:48 This episode of the Dan Levitart show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours. Roy, can I get a burnt hand update, please? It's looking pretty good. I thought it was going to be a lot worse. It's not really much damage to be shown here. Let me see that thing. Where's the actual burn?
Starting point is 00:03:02 All four fingers right here. Oh, the tips. Yeah, it's on the tips. But not really much damage. All right, congratulations. You got out of it, unscathed. All right. So, yes, you blamed the, not unscathed because you blamed your wife for burning your hand.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, I did. And I assume that when you got home, you did not return to unscath. I'm assuming all that gets back to her. Does it not? You think she listens to the show? No, not her. It just gets back through sources. No?
Starting point is 00:03:27 No. Luckily. Okay. Congratulations on that. that because it was one of the most offensive things I've seen anyone do around here. Blame your wife for your burnt hand. So I wish someone
Starting point is 00:03:38 would bring that back to her and I wish it would cause you trouble at home. Why? Because you blamed your wife instantaneously because you came in with a burnt hand when you're an adult human being responsible for your own actions and you said it was something she said that annoyed me. I'm sure you couldn't
Starting point is 00:03:53 even remember it. I understand that, but why are you trying to wreck my match, dude? I'm not trying to wreck your marriage. You did say you hoped that he got home and there was trouble in his marriage. Because it'd be content. I'd like the content. But it's his life. He has a child. You want the child to come from a broken home for content? He's a child.
Starting point is 00:04:10 I don't want the home to break. I think that they could withstand it through the love and their marriage. Well, my life is content for the show, so yeah, I guess you're right. Okay. And you burnt your hand and now you're fine. And so even that content was a lie. Because there was... A lie! What, you don't have any blisters? No one...
Starting point is 00:04:25 Did you guys have... Look at his hand, Chris, and tell me you see anything in the way? It'd be hard to tell. Like if you said to me, where on my hand was I burned, I can't tell by looking. And you need to be able to tell if it's a real burn mark. Anyway, I feel like before I get to Dolphins talk, because I did want to talk to Chris about how he feels, they will turn every running back in the league into a 200-yard back. Everyone every week against the dolphins, if they want to run for 200 yards, you can tell them that that's what you're going to do.
Starting point is 00:04:57 You could do it with your backup linemen. you could do it for a bad Carolina team. You could do it with two offensive linemen out. Whoever you're running back is, he will have 23 carries for 200 yards. It doesn't matter who you put back there. Every week, the Baltimore Ravens are standing in your historically bad defense argument. Because that team is shite. I saw the stat given yesterday on the Ravens that there's $280 million in salary cap
Starting point is 00:05:22 and $160 million of it is out for the Ravens. They gave up 37 points again. yesterday that's historically bad there are a couple of things in the sport that have been historically bad because already over the first month of the season the lions are on the verge of being a team that averaged 33 points last year and now more than that this year and if they did that not since the 1941 bears has anyone had an offense that scores 37 by accident because on a bad day in Cincinnati they'll turn you over three times and they'll feel like they left 20 points on the field. I saw that stat live during the game and I was like, damn, okay, so I guess
Starting point is 00:06:00 they're better without Ben Johnson? They're the best offense in the league. Point total wise and they got great field position in that game because Browning is a turnover machine. Browning and the Raiders are something that you see can nuke the entire architecture, even if you're Pete Carroll. If your quarterback turns the ball over eight times, I mean, if it's Jackson Dart, you're going to lose at the Saints because you turned it over five times. And I thought I thought that that's how all young quarterbacks look. I don't trust any of those on the road, but Jane Daniels has moved all of that.
Starting point is 00:06:34 And C.J. Stroud every week has this going, well, what happened there? You're 24. You're 24 years old. Is it over for you? He got mad at everyone. He's like, you guys just, I was trying to be fun and light, and you guys took it in, it's like you said you're old. Like, you said it.
Starting point is 00:06:48 He said he looked at high school tape of himself, and what he noticed is, oh, look, the ravages of football. They'll slow the body down. And then he's like, why would you guys take that and run with it. I barely said anything. The game from yesterday that I actually want to talk about, we'll get back to the dolphins tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:07:04 They really don't deserve our attention. Somebody does, though, Dan. Tua looks kind of good. Yeah, forget about Tua. He wasn't even the star of the show. The star of the show was the guy in the broadcast. What was up with him? Did you hear him? He was very excited. It was the first time he had called a game. I think his name is Collins.
Starting point is 00:07:20 He does the Hornets broadcast also. Eric Collins. He was a little bit disorienting. He was very excited. I wasn't ready for that level of excitement. I wasn't ready for the Hispanic, Rico. We have a montage of his work yesterday. Tungo by Lawa. Hasuato. He's open.
Starting point is 00:07:40 Touchdown. And Donald, look at him. What kind of speed do you get young man? To the end zone. Agent, did he? He did. Look at this. Down, oh, still on his seat. Caught back in the end zone. Xavier League it.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Tungo by Loa. Got his man. Touchdown. Blower. Young. Caught. It's horn. Bryce Young.
Starting point is 00:08:14 Got his man. Touchdown. Thurtonton. Down goes Tongueblo. That's fun. You didn't like that? Third and ten. What, you don't, you're negative on that?
Starting point is 00:08:26 I love that. I was negative on it. I was just disoriented by it when it was happening during the game. I was like, man, he's really excited for a second and six. Gus Johnson vibes. Yeah, I was going to say, this is just where I think we all are in life right now. Because when Gus Johnson was doing this like eight years ago, everyone was like, this is awesome. I love this energy.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Now this guy's doing it. Oh, God, calm down. Rico. He's so happy about. The world sucks. There were a couple of great catches in that game. I mean, Legette and A. Chan had great catches. but you have to dress up the game a little bit, don't you?
Starting point is 00:08:57 Was it Schlereth? Is that their fifth broadcast? What is that? Is that their fourth broadcast? Who's counting? No, but if I say nationally, hey, you got Carolina dolphins this week. Schlereth is what? The fourth team?
Starting point is 00:09:12 We don't have to count numbers. They're pretty low down there. It's hilarious on that call. I love that Schlerth doesn't give a bleep and has fun and has more fun than most of the broadcasters, but he's working with, you know, his 40th partner here, and this guy swaggeres into the booth, and he's like, watch this.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I got a little Latin flare and a little Gus Johnson for you. And Man 101 wants to slap him with six of his dead fingers in the face because he's like another one of these turds coming around here trying to mess up the broadcast honor football, young man. Honor the sport down there. We're calling Carolina, and we're expecting five minutes left in the game. We're expecting a tour over. No one expected that game being featured on Red Zone as much as it was, right?
Starting point is 00:09:55 I think it's more of a testament to how bad the 1 p.m. slate was, but I saw way too much of that game for my liking on Red Zone. Man, just, what was the best one? We had Eagles, Broncos. That was like the good stuff. Ooh, guts. No, no, no, Patriots, bills, like Drake May's good. Oh, yeah, but we were, no, we're talking about that 1 p.m. I'm talking about that 1 p.m. Slate. Witching hour, even Scott Hands, and I was like, oh, we got some work cut out ahead of us. So Denver beats the Eagles. Eagles could be 0 and 5.
Starting point is 00:10:28 That one's funny because close games in that league. And I saw that the stat on Jalen Hertz is 10 and a half home game, zero interceptions. They just hold the ball, beat you up, beat you up, and it's like new football, lions and eagle, you know, punch you in the face all the way down the field, and we're going to do it with Dan Campbell's mentality. And they've got the most physical teams in the league,
Starting point is 00:10:48 and from behind them, here's Baker, Mayfield galloping around on a stallion trying to throw a rope at like, oh, Sam Darnold, really? You're going to match me stat for stat as we're going to light up the skies. And Baker's going to take it from me at the end because Sam Darnold, Sam Darnold. Doesn't matter. Who's out? Is Worf's ever going to play for me? My franchise's greatest receiver is out?
Starting point is 00:11:10 Bucky Irving, an absolute dog in the backfield out, don't matter. Best defense in the league? Cross-country road trip doesn't matter. Baker Mayfield, MVP. You mentioned roping. I bet Baker Mayfield could rope a boat for sure. It is really cool to watch Baker Mayfield. I remember this show arguing, right,
Starting point is 00:11:29 as the Cleveland Browns swallowed him up. Just bad organization swallows up a dude who wants it so badly. The Browns I saw yesterday have gone 10 straight games scoring 17 or fewer points, like trying to get a quarterback, trying to get Johnny Mansell, going with Joe Flacco, and then losing inexplicably a game to,
Starting point is 00:11:50 lead off your Sunday where Carson Wentz does something no one's done since the year 2000. Nine for nine on a drive. That's the Brady era in there. No one has been as good on a late drive than he was when Miles Garrett is gassed and sitting on his helmet and they've got to call timeouts for Miles Garrett
Starting point is 00:12:06 because he's tired of chasing Carson Wentz all over another country for this shit Brown's team. It was really important you knocked off those 11 seconds on the drive before Stefansky. Miles Garrett is exhausted. It wasn't even about blocking him. I don't know what the hell they did to Miles Garrett, they were calling
Starting point is 00:12:21 timeout so Miles Garrett could sit down. Why? Because Carson Wentz was eating. Right down the field against the best defense in the league, Browns, there goes your season. Because we've got Justin Jefferson, nine for nine, no quarterback has done it since 2000. That's the pretty years
Starting point is 00:12:37 in there. Carson Wentz goes right down the field. Those two teams don't matter. They don't matter. Vikings matter a little bit. Vikings matter a little bit. Where are you putting them? Wild card. I'll be playing meaningful games in December. Good roster.
Starting point is 00:12:55 All right, wait a minute. You don't think they'll be playing meaningful games in December? Okay. Good roster. I don't want to go any further. I do not want to take one step further, okay, not one without talking about that Arizona game. Oh, thank God. No, because I have failed in not talking about the difference in that league between
Starting point is 00:13:17 between winning games and losing games and the difference between being three and one or two and two. The idea that the Arizona Cardinals lost a football game yesterday and I am saying here out loud that not since the Vikings won a playoff game on the last play against the Saints, have I been more surprised to see a team lose a game in the last 15 years of football than watching the way that Arizona
Starting point is 00:13:50 lost this particular game against the Titans who had Cam Ward throw an interception for a touchdown that's the biggest touchdown for his team. Yes, yes, yes, yes. No, I'm going to try it again. I know I'm going to try this again.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Look, I wrote down on notes where one of those, I've never seen this play. He threw a touchdown to Tyler Lockett. He threw a touchdown to Tyler Lockett and these are the notes on that play that I have. Cam Ward dropped back to pass for what might be the single most important pass that he's thrown this season because that team was headed to 0 and 5 didn't deserve to win this football game. Won this football game only because, only because when Arizona was up 21 to 6
Starting point is 00:14:36 with Amari de Marcado, Descarado. Yes, keep going. he goes 71 yards with the football and then right before the goal line casually lays it out and it is not a touchdown. And instead of being up 28 to 6, the Arizona Cardinals lost a game yesterday that I think it might be the most inexplicable loss I have seen in 25 years watching football because of how the Titans did not deserve to win this game. But Cam Ward's game winning interception. No, this is what it was. it was clutched by cam ward cam ward gets his first win
Starting point is 00:15:14 Spencer rattler took him 10 cam ward gets his first win because they're hard to come by no matter how much descarado throws the football game away you think Jonathan Gannon's helping the situation he had no reaction
Starting point is 00:15:29 what do you mean he had no reaction throw up the video again this is courtesy of local news demarcato feeling terrible about what happened couldn't feel worse Gannon yeah no let's strike the player I'm sure that'll fix things I thought that guy's been hiding a suppressed rage behind the stoicism of having to coach that mountain of shit out in Arizona every year.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I think they've lost every game by a field goal at the end, right? What's up, guys? It's the mean. And those of you that listen to the show religiously know that I always talk about I'm not going to movie theaters anymore. There's nothing that can get me to the movie theaters. Just let me know when it comes out on streaming. Well, turns out I'm a big fat liar because one of the things that I watched in the movie theater this summer, just a couple of months ago, was the naked gun. and I laughed my ass off. I enjoyed it so much being there in a movie theater full of people,
Starting point is 00:16:16 everybody laughing, the communal experience. But now it's on Paramount Plus, and I get to do it all over again from the comfort of my home, and I'm going to grab my family, we're going to gather around, we're going to watch it. That's what you should do. You should grab your friends or your family. Watch the naked gun. It's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Liam Neeson kills it as Frank Rebben Jr. Yes, Frank Revin Jr. They're continuing the legacy. There are a lot of little callbacks and Easter eggs from the old naked gun movies, this one right here captures that spirit, captures that comedy, and why wouldn't it? It's produced by Seth MacFarlane. You know how much I love family guy and American dad. He's a producer. The director is Akiva Schaefer. You know him from S&L. He directed pop star, never stopped popping. He's hilarious. You got Pam Anderson in it. You got my man
Starting point is 00:17:01 Danny Houston, aka I'm surprised. Oh my God. You have to go catch this movie on Paramount Plus. And why wouldn't you? Who doesn't like to laugh? It's fun times in your household tonight, Paramount Plus, The Naked Gun. Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal. Hey, Mike. I want to talk to you about Miller Light. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Light.
Starting point is 00:17:27 That's right. A great partner of our show for practically its entire existence. It's been a partner of this show since I was 10 years old. And it's been around for 50 years. And they've been a part of our show for almost 20. we're approaching incredible partner status with Miller Light. I mean, to think that people were celebrating at my bar mitzvah with Miller Light as they were a partner of this show is pretty incredible. You're talking about the moments that are made better by making those times, those special times, Miller Time.
Starting point is 00:17:54 Jeremy, there's nothing like cracking open Miller Light with your crew. This football season, it's especially true. Whether it's a touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups, you already know you're going to lose. Miller Light has been the taste you can depend on for 50 years, brewed for flavor, with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes, that iconic golden color, and here's a kicker, Jeremy. What's that?

Starting point is 00:19:54 Football. Football. Good ball. Stugats. Football. Football. Football. This is the Dan Lebatars show with the Stoogads.
Starting point is 00:20:34 If you do not know how they lost this football game, What I'm saying to you is a football player who would have given them a 28 to 6 lead that got out. Drop the football again a week after it just happened. It's debatable. I thought it was a touchdown. This is a tough break. Got a tough break. A stupidity that should never happen again in the history of football and yet happened two weeks ago and happens again today goes from 28 to 6 to we're going to lose the football game because of the play I'm about to describe.
Starting point is 00:21:07 I had to write it down and I had to rewind it six times to make sure I got all of this right. Cam Ward drops back to pass and it hits a hand. One hand tipped at the line of scrimmage of a cardinal. Then it is caught by the two hands of another cardinal who drops to the ground and then tries to get up running and the ball squirts out whereupon it hits the one hand of one cardinal that foot. of that same one hand and then the other hand of the other cardinal before it hits the hand and the two feet of another cardinal and ends up
Starting point is 00:21:46 in a touchdown for Tyler Lockett whereupon I remember that Tyler Lockett had gone to the Titans to help Cam Ward because he hasn't made a play for him all season. You went to the equipment manager and he's like save that ball. I saw that. You can't advance a fumble but since the ball went backward touchdown Titans.
Starting point is 00:22:02 How do we coach out of the game the drop in the ball before the end zone? You coach him run through the end zone with the ball. I'm sure that's until you are through the end zone. No, I don't mean that
Starting point is 00:22:12 first line. You run through the back of the end zone. I hate watching the Titans because I love Cameron Ward so much and I feel like he's betrayed left and right
Starting point is 00:22:21 by his receivers and his head coach. Brian Callahan does not deserve to have that victory. Deciding to not go for two in that spot. I mean, what is he doing? I know what you're doing there, Paul.
Starting point is 00:22:31 But there were some absolutely, yes, Cameron Ward, very fortunate to get that first dub. Let's not forget there were some absolute dots that were thrown all over that field. Cameron Ward made plays for that team. I think, look, we rattled off the stats of how Will Levis got off to a more impressive start in his career.
Starting point is 00:22:46 It is rare for a team to be this bad with a quarterback taken number one where everyone watching knows. Problem's not the QB. They got to help the guy out. Kyler Murray also turned the ball over on a snap that hit him in the face and might have sent him into concussion protocol. They're claiming that was a leg injury. Dan. I was Jason Garrett turning to the TV. I was like, well, Tony, I've got to salute you on this, okay, because I'm not out on
Starting point is 00:23:10 Kyler Murray, but I, look, you talk about an unprecedented day for me because it hasn't been, I have not in 20 years said the U is back, but this is what I am willing to say about the Arizona Cardinals. They're just losers. Like, you lose a game like that, like you, you don't understand how stupid it is that the Tennessee Titans won that football game. The Tennessee Titans were terrible that entire game, and they've just got Cam Ward running around in circles trying to make plays across his body. He's got to throw the ball across his body like no other quarterback in his league because Calvin Ridley was spent three years ago and he needs help.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I'm not joking when I tell you, name the nominees on 25 years you've been watching football. And one of you, tell me, you saw the Arizona Titans game and have seen anything like that where you get three fluke plays, like just randomly full. fluke plays, Cam Ward lost the football game at the end. It was a bad interception. All you've got to do is fall on the floor and stay there. You don't have to do anything else. And a game where Gino Smith's career is over because he's throwing too many interceptions, in a game where the turnover is the most valuable of possessions, if I tell you right now, something happened in that Colts game where both kickers got hurt. The punter, first of all, getting a punt blocked when you're in full
Starting point is 00:24:36 I'm surprised more legs don't snap and just end up in the bleachers. That's what happened to me, dude. If I would have had that last kick kid, Dan, my leg would have gone over the house in the back. 50 yards back. Both kickers got hurt, and my immediate reaction was, I wonder if any of these coaches would take those 15 yards right now in the first quarter because the rest
Starting point is 00:24:52 of the game, they can't use their kicker. They can't use, they're going to have to go for two every time. I thought that immediately. If the game is predicated on, you cannot turn the ball over. The Arizona Cardinals had it twice in their hands and all they had to do was not move, going to full rigormortis.
Starting point is 00:25:12 Just don't drop the football. No one is going to touch the football. No one's going to bother you. All you had to do was that twice. I don't think you'll find a game in the last 25 years that you can counter me that with. What are you laughing about, Chris? You're right. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Because the game would have been 28 to 6 and they were running away with it. The Titans were ready to go home. It's hard to travel. Heard's. Cam Ward would have been fine going. 286. Okay, you can have it, Arizona. We're not going to fight back. We're not going to fight you on this.
Starting point is 00:25:44 It was clearly that decisive. I have not, Cleveland lost a game that way yesterday too. Like, I don't, when the Cleveland Browns had a chance with Miles Garrett who re-sign there to save their season in a game that in every way they had won because Carson Wentz's offensive line is banged up and it's Carson Wentz. And with all mathematical improbabilities against them all, Carson Wentz had the best drive that there's been in 20 years at the end of a game in 25 years at the end of a game in this sport. And it just kicks off your football Sunday. And that's a crazy stat because I feel like I've seen four very recent Baker Mayfield games where he's doing that down the stretch.
Starting point is 00:26:26 But that pass in the end zone, the ball placement there, that was almost as astonishing as the still image of Carson Wentz meeting, Dylan Gable. Gabriel at midfield, and you realize Dylan Gabriel is very, very small. It was probably a bad draft. Wentz is huge. So this part's funny, Tony, when I'm watching the University of Miami. Yes, Carson Wentz was the highest paid quarterback in the league, and Dylan Gabriel is never going to be. Because he can't throw the ball more than 10 yards down field. He'll play one of these games, Roy gives you.
Starting point is 00:26:57 That's why he got drafted. Like, he's got a strong arm. He's just small. But, Dan, to your point, it has to look a certain way. And when you're that short playing in that uniform with the dude backing you up that everybody else wants to see, it just doesn't feel it. I have decades of experience being a Browns fan.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Dealing Gabriel thing, I don't think it's going to work out. I mean, even watching Panthers' Dolphins, you see these two little quarterbacks. And you watch Sunday Night Football, Josh Allen. Even Drake May looks good. You're just like, this is what it should look like. Why am I watching Panthers Dolphins? It's got to look a certain way.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Look at Tyler Murray. Drake May. He had that one more. He had a good move, though, Dan. I'm not going to be a total hater. He had that one good move where he shook. I think it was a defense event out of his shoes and scored a touchdown. Great.
Starting point is 00:27:40 The only way to overcompensate that is if you have an eight-foot moxie and cock the way that Baker Mayfield has. Yeah, this is one of the things that's going to be in play as it relates to Baker Mayfield. I want to talk about that for a second. But first, let's get our nominees here, Chris Cody, on Hampton Farms and the Nudiest fan. I'm nominating Michael Irvin as University of Miami Mascot. I'm nominating all of his. history onics. Let's build up. Let's build up to that. It's the Nuddiest fan brought to you by Hampton Farms. Get Nuddy with Hampton Farms. The official peanut of bowl season. Vote for your
Starting point is 00:28:11 favorite nutty fan at Levitarche on Instagram. And be sure to keep an eye out for Lucy at Auburn. If you think you are your team's nuttiest fan, first nominee, a sad shark leaving Chapel Hill down 35 to 3. Just not going well for Bill Belichick. And this shark decided to wear a shark costume and then was like, you know what I'm out of here. I got some breaking news for you guys, according to Ross Martin of 247 sports, the University of North Carolina staff has been directed by
Starting point is 00:28:38 Bill Belichick not to post or repost anything related to the Patriots, which explains why there were no posts about Drake May's performance Sunday night and the win over Buffalo per Ross Martin of 247 sports. Not a good luck. Well, not a good look, but also
Starting point is 00:28:54 amazing to watch the pettiness of Bill Belichick at North Carolina as the Patriots have now regrouped. It'll be one of his players, Vrable, who brings them back because, oh, look, they hit on the quarterback. The North Carolina kid, we all thought,
Starting point is 00:29:08 was a top five prospect while he was at North Carolina, and now North Carolina can't even celebrate it because they got Belichick on their hand. Our second nominee for Nuddius fan by Hampton Farms is, or these Ohio State fans, someone's got to explain this to me. They're at some point, I guess they're at the shoe,
Starting point is 00:29:25 they're all taking their shoes off and lifting their shoes in the air. This seems ridiculous, but they're all doing it at once. That had to be a smelly section, am I right? What is that? What is the history of that? It's the shoe, Dan.
Starting point is 00:29:36 It's just the shoe. They all take their shoes off. And then we build up, our third nominee. We've already celebrated some of his antics with the belt. This is Michael Irvin with an FSU fan after the game. Miami's a bitch. You still taking your ass home with that lost door. Damn, Miami.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Go home, grab that grease. Get in your room. You got me. You got me, boo. You got me, boo. You got me, boo. You got me, boo. You got me, boo.
Starting point is 00:30:05 But you're taking home that defeat, and you busting up Mary those five things tonight. You know it, baby. You know, that's legendary. The fan. That's legendary. Michael, I had time for him. I love that because that was heated.
Starting point is 00:30:21 You knew it wasn't going to get physical. It was just good friendly banter between fan bases. I don't know. Did he know it wasn't going to get physical? I think both of those, I mean, obviously, FSU guy wasn't going to do anything. I think Michael Irvin was under control there, just giving the guy in the business. Just giving him the business.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I never thought he was going to hit him. Never thought he was going to hit. That's late at night. How does he still have this energy? Mike, you know I have one rule to live by, right? Don't place parlays on multiple long shots. Don't say a game is one when it hasn't hit, triple zero. Always drink your Yeagermeister ice cold.
Starting point is 00:30:51 That's the rule. Everything else is merely a suggestion. Everything else? Everything else. Wearing clean underwear every day? Well, that's just a personal decision. Bushing your teeth? Obviously smart, but not a rule. Never pee-pee on an electric fence.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Okay, maybe there are two rules. But the one that is 100% that I insist on completely, Yeagermeister must be drank ice cold. Or don't drink it at all. Damn, that's cold. Exactly. You're finally starting to get it. Drink responsibly. Yeagermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume

Starting point is 00:31:53 I'm just saying. You know what? That's me. That's me. Daniel Day Lewis done something. I see that photo of Daniel Day Lewis looking like Lincoln before he's about to start filming Lincoln and you know what I do? I mean Stugats. I jerk off all over myself. That's what I do.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Lincoln, who you outed the other day? Don't make this a rejoin. This is the Dan LeBatar show with the Stugats. Are we still living in a world or are you going to assume that famous former football players just aren't going to attack you? That's fair. Mark Sanchez.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yes. Okay, you guys, I didn't know what to do with that story because this is how that story came out. So, which Mark Sanchez was in Indianapolis for Colts Raiders. The Raiders season is a disaster. Pete Carroll regrets coming back. What am I doing with my life? Geno Smith's not going to fix this. I'm not going to be able to fix what plagues the Raiders.
Starting point is 00:32:53 The story that comes out during the football Sunday, Mark Sanchez stabbed in stable condition. So there's an outpouring of worry for Mark Sanchez, former USC quarterback. The best thing the Jets have had a quarterback this century. The Jets are the worst. They're 0 in 5. They had 13 missed tackles in the first half yesterday. And when Dallas was trying to run out the clock just to run out the ball to halftime,
Starting point is 00:33:19 they allowed a 70-yard run because the Jets are just awful. The last three coaches are 0-3 to start the season. this is the worst of them and he starts 0 and 5 because the jets are a sinking pit and Justin Fields and nobody there is going to fix anything. No disputes. Case closed. Can we put them in the file? Moving on. Let's keep getting those Garrett Wilson overs, though. We like those. But we can just put that off to the side and finish the jet season yesterday, correct? We're all done. Everybody, there will be no coming back from that. So then all of us, there was an outpouring for Mark Sanchez, but then the next thing that happened was reports Mark
Starting point is 00:33:54 Sanchez has been arrested. And so what I thought was, good God, how has he been stabbed in a fight? What happened in a nightclub? What drunkenness was there? There's just information that he's been stabbed. What are the details here? The next thing is the police report is, oh, he's not a victim here necessarily. He's not in the police report as a victim. And now he's being arrested at the airport. What happened here? And then the detail I get this morning is 69-year-old truck driver. And so now I only have these small bits of information on whatever was happening in an alley in Indianapolis late at night. But then there's, oh, and then pepper spray is one of the details, too, that Mark Sanchez had been pepper sprayed. And that's the only information I have on what
Starting point is 00:34:35 happened in a dark alley that ends with Mark Sanchez being stabbed. There are details that are still coming out. Again, this is all alleged, but there was an altercation that happened in a loading dock. Mark Sanchez allegedly took exception to how this delivery driver was parking, invoked the manager wouldn't want you to be there, attacked the 69-year-old, which, by the way, there are some photos that have surfaced online of the condition that that victim is in. We don't want to watch any of those, right? We don't want to do it.
Starting point is 00:35:05 The picture is brutal. It is hard to look at. The man apparently defended himself, attempted to pepper spray Mark Sanchez, which, according to what's out there, for the moment, stopped him. But then Mark Sanchez went again to attack the man who. then defended himself. And yeah, thankfully, I did a cursory search before and I found it very odd that Mark Sanchez wasn't the listed victim on this, which gave people pause, pause, and I'm sure some people in the media regret not displaying initially because the takes were
Starting point is 00:35:37 off-flying, Dan. Mark Sanchez, well, we do this one all the time, though, just make all of these people who are many different things. We turn them into one thing that we know and put them in the easy compartment. I am assuming that in his broadcast career, people feel like they know Mark Sanchez. They saw his career at USC. They saw him be great for the jets as a broadcaster. He's got it all together. And I have no idea what happened in an alley at 3.30 in the morning in Indianapolis that involved pepper spray. And I assume that if there was a stabbing, I assume like a box cutter. My mind can go in all places of imagination. But Mark Sanchez is in stable condition at the hospital because he, too, was harmed by whatever it is that happened.
Starting point is 00:36:19 in this alley. When you see the arrest details too, public intoxication was among the things that were listed so you know that there were some other things at play here. He allegedly tried to force his way into the guy's truck, the guy's pepper sprayed him, ran away, he chased him down, and then he got, it's obviously, and also, by the way, while he was clearly wrong in attacking an old man, you're not happy that he got stabbed and you do hope that he has a speedy recovery, even though obviously he seems to have been the aggressor in this situation. And the details are bad too when you hear that the truck driver who's 69 years old takes down and turns down his hearing aids because the truck is really loud in the alley.
Starting point is 00:36:59 So I think the dispute was he, Mark Sanchez was trying to talk to him. He couldn't hear him because he didn't have his hearing aids in. And that's kind of how things got. Allegedly. Detective Tony's on it. I read. Kind of crazy, huh? Well, it's like, what?
Starting point is 00:37:12 Okay. So here we are now. Tony, found out more. All avoidable, Tony of Spiro Detes was just where he was supposed to be, and that was a CBS game. Exactly right. Exactly right. Some people were calling this one out beforehand. It's a Fox game. This doesn't make sense. That should be Spiro. Loading docks are weird, right? They are. Like, they're not a uniform height for some reason.
Starting point is 00:37:32 What do you? Well, like, some loading docks are not tall enough for the trucks that are bringing in deliveries. I thought they're all designed for like 18 wheelings. You would think, right? But like, I don't know if you guys drive here. But in the morning sometimes, there's often cars. trucks making deliveries and they just take up one lane of traffic because the loading dock in a new building only has like 15 foot clearance and I guess this thing's like 18 or 19 feet tall which I don't understand why you don't have like a universal height for loading
Starting point is 00:38:00 docks which then lead to traffic jams and you know I don't know if that's what was that play here I'm not going to look to excuse anyone's obviously horrible behavior but you do wonder if that had a higher maybe clearance maybe this would have been avoided it is a weird thing to get hung up on where he's like hey you got to move this truck bro and it's like at like three in the morning you're like yeah you're walking around like and at first there's a door dash driver i mean that's a massive order if he's driving an 18 wheeler so billy this i do imagine that wherever it is that your life gets busy on the weekend uh because the fatherhood is is hard i would imagine that you would do some really pretty rigorous sleuthing about wherever your imagination would take you once
Starting point is 00:38:42 you get the details of stabbing and now arrested to what happened in that alley when you throw a 69 year old truck driver into the mix. I think we all went the same places with our imagination on being, oh, that's too bad for Mark Sanchez. I wonder what happened. What kind of drinking was involved? Who did he get into a fight with? He's been arrested. So wait a minute, what are the details here? Why is a man? You see the photos. You're like, Jesus. So what? And so then after that, everyone's like, well, if he's pepper sprayed, now we're just wondering about substances or whatever it is that the mind will do in the imagination of what happened in that Indianapolis alley at 3 o'clock in the morning. Is that fair? It is when public intoxication
Starting point is 00:39:26 is one of the things that are listed for us to peruse. These are not the actions of someone of a clear mind if we're to believe what's in the reports. That is not, that is shocking behavior for Mark Sanchez, which is why it takes for flying, because surely no one in their minds could concoct this situation. If I told you this ahead of time, it's like a random name generator with random violence. It doesn't compute. Tony will continue to gather. It's also very rare where the person who was stabbed multiple times was very clearly in the wrong here. And I don't know about you guys, but when it comes to how it is America sells its football and Tom Brady is the most expensive guy because he smiles
Starting point is 00:40:10 and he'll interview your receiver after the game. Mark Sanchez carved the lane through New York media of being not one of these great quarterbacks, but a poster boy for USC football, a poster boy for winning, and the most successful Jets quarterback that there's been in 25 years. And I still imagine him more as somebody in a suit walking around as a broadcaster because his post career as I get to live off the fame of being a,
Starting point is 00:40:37 former quarterback. I, for some reason, visually, when my imagination was thinking on these details very glancingly, I'm imagining him in his broadcast gear because I've seen him more in a suit than I have in a uniform recently. There goes a one Latino Fox ad. Do!
Starting point is 00:40:53 During Hispanic Heritage Month. You guys got me, though, with all the guys they got on baseball, Pedro and Big Poppy. They flooded the zone. They flooded the zone. You might came back with Hector Gomez as the big Latin personality that's get to flourish throughout the media these days.
Starting point is 00:41:10 How many seasons can we be done with? The Browning experiment in Cincinnati, everything there is over and it will all be built on whatever Joe Burroughs body can withstand later so he can make T. Higgins look. Jamar Chase and T. Higgins
Starting point is 00:41:25 can only look that way for Burrow. Browning will throw three interceptions a game. Can't have that anymore. That doesn't work in today's league. That was very maybe get you to the playoffs in a game of slinging it one day, but we don't play that way anymore, kid. It's almost like they should like try to trade for somebody else to salvage
Starting point is 00:41:41 a little bit of the season, maybe? It's over. Okay. No? No, yeah. I mean, they had to outscore people with Burrow last year and they could not. Look, I think we can bury some things after this first month of the season. We got Jets already. We wrote down Jets.
Starting point is 00:41:56 I had Hercules Gonzalez. I didn't know who Hector Gomez was. As fate would have it. He is a former baseball player, but not presently in media. Okay. Thank you. For Bailey me out there, yes. Hector Gomes
Starting point is 00:42:11 is not Hercter. No, well, but I don't think I should be good there, though. Hercules Gomez, Hector Gomez. I was going to say, you said Hercules Gonzalez, right? I didn't also know. Well, look, I guess we're all on the wrong here, and this actually underscores why there needs to be more representation. So, Schlitler is a name that I have seen.
Starting point is 00:42:31 The Blue Jays are clubbing the Yankees right now. Two straight games, and I meant to mention. mentioned this the other day when Cam Schlittler ends up striking out 12, something he hadn't done at any level of baseball for any time he'd ever played, but did it in a game, that a couple of times this season, I've been listening on the radio and a broadcaster slips up on Schlittler, which is a scary word, and then backtracks and, like, you can hit a table pounded, like, I messed that up. I knew that that was going to happen. Schlittler, one of the most dangerous names we've ever had in sports broadcasting. Mad Dog butchered this.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I'm told. Let me start here. And then we'll get into Schlister, who obviously was Panama, it was Schittler. Uh, so he kind of botched it. And he's like, I need to re-say this. Let me start here. And then we'll get into Schlister, who obviously was Panama, it was Schittler, uh, uh, let me start here. And then we'll get into Schlister, who obviously was Panama, it was Schindler, uh, uh, how about grong? Come, my God. What a gronk mess up this weekend? Rookie sensation, wide receiver out of Ohio State. Emika a Big Boo going for over 100 yards.
Starting point is 00:43:47 Amika and Buka. I'm getting confused. Emika a Big Bo. That kid's good. Emika a Big Bo. He's good, man. Baker Mayfield likes to throw in like 30-yard darts. no one else is throwing.
Starting point is 00:44:07 Emika, a big boo, going for overall. You guys better learn that name. I just saw a Hall of Fame and go to the locker room, and this guy took his job. Emika and Big Bo. Mike Evans was doing the Thousand Yard seasons there. He got 12 of them as the freak from the past from Texas A&M because he was different than everyone else.
Starting point is 00:44:25 Oh, job stolen. Emika a Big Bo. Tampa's got to be legitimately good. That division is terrible, and yeah, Baker Mayfield might have a three turnover game. But I cannot imagine what Carolina Panther fans feel when they see Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield in the stat lines in the fourth quarter of that game. Oh, it's like ping, ping, 35, 35, they're going down the field. Okay, both of these quarterbacks are going to do it with whoever it is.
Starting point is 00:44:53 We put out there with them because at this point, Baker Mayfield has had a great many injuries for them to go into Seattle. When you saw what Seattle did, the Saints, like Seattle's good. Seattle's obviously a team that is physically. and good to go in there and win and sling it out at the end again because baker mayfield's that guy he might as well playing cowboy boots man like he's he might as well have a cigarette back there in terms of how much he's enjoying okay the some guys took the tom brady patent manning route of public perception or mark sanchez or however it is i'm going to present myself to the media and america as face of quarterbacking today there's only one playing
Starting point is 00:45:36 right now that feels and looks like the attitude far had when he was the different one with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. There's only one quarterback out there playing like that where it's like, oh shit, he doesn't care who's with him. He's going to keep slinging it 25, 30 yards at a time. Go ahead and beat him. You're going to leave him two minutes? That's too much. You've left him too much. He's going to beat you on the road in Seattle. You think your defense is good? No, not as good as this is late in games. It might be good. It might be best in the league good. matter, because he's got an eight-foot cock. There's something interesting happening there.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Baker Mayfield's had a rough. Go on. It's been a rough ride. He was this close to being back up, never getting any of these chances anymore, and now he's got the biggest bravado in the league. Yeah, he does. Yeah, that bravado is huge. Ways about 45 pounds.
Starting point is 00:46:28 It's impressive to see a team that we don't think is good as the elite teams, their quarterback saying again and again on the road however you want to play the game yes we are he doesn't have moxie he has coxie hey jeremy old buddy old pal hey mike i want to talk to you about miller light you and i have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of miller light that's right a great partner of our show for practically its entire existence it's been a partner of this show since i was 10 years old and it's been around for 50 years and they've been a part of our show for almost 20 we're approaching incredible partner status with Miller Light.
