Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the big suey, presented by Draft Kings. 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 that. 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.
Starting point is 00:00:26 And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habit. Pitch you a liar. This episode of the Dan Lovatart show is presented by Draft Kings. Draft Kings. The Crown is yours. Zaslow, as we've established, is a judge. He is a journalist. He is, what else?
Starting point is 00:00:45 You're a lawyer. I'm a race war expert. You're a race war expert. There's a fifth thing in there that you are. Time zone. I don't remember. Yeah, Zahar of Time Zones. But during the break, he was doing some reporting.
Starting point is 00:00:57 And I'm sorry to do this to you, Greg. It may feel like a betrayal, but Zaslo has some breaking news for the audience and for us, because I don't think we knew this until Zaslo reported. Dan, good journalism is never a betrayal. It's always in search of the truth. Okay, so no reason to apologize, and that includes to Greg. Greg fired the special teams coach a few minutes ago. Now, I did a little bit of digging here, and I would like you to confirm Greg, Cody.
Starting point is 00:01:28 Is it possible that there is a bias in your mind, in your heart, that the reason that you fired the special teams coach, we all thought it was because, you know, you were showing some gumption, all right, somebody's got to pay. Is it possible that this was in response? Well, about seven minutes left in the game yesterday. The Dolphins took the lead, 2723 on a punt return. Seven minutes, not a lot of time. Dolphins just took the lead.
Starting point is 00:01:57 is it possible that you had just about shaped your column for the game? And then the kick was returned for a touchdown by the Patriots, and you had to scrap with less than half the fourth quarter remaining. After 50 years of writing for an afternoon game with bad deadlines. You had to then scrap your current column because of a special team's Gaff. True or false? Closer to truth than false. When you're right, when you're right, I admit it.
Starting point is 00:02:34 Oh, no. It was a massive inconvenience to me in the press box when all of a sudden a lead becomes a deficit because of a special team's boner. It was a one o'clock game, boner. Yeah, I know. That's a one o'clock game. What kind of deadline is that? I got a 4.30 deadline to make a print edition.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I've got additional reporting to be done here. Greg Cody, tired of getting texts when down 12-0 about, uh-oh, Homer, had written the column that was going to be joyously. I'm right. Everyone overreacted. That's the column that had to be scrapped. Okay, I always root for my pick. I picked the Dolphins to win that game. And they should have.
Starting point is 00:03:16 They were favored. They should have won. But you picked the column. That was the better column. The other column, the column you scrapped was the column you wanted to write. I don't think there was a better column. I think if they had won that game dramatically in their home opener, it would have been fun to write. But if they lose and all of a sudden there's calamity and there's planes flying overhead, that's pretty tasty as well.
Starting point is 00:03:37 But you are willing to confirm that you fired the special teams coach because he inconvenienced you? Yeah, I thought we already agreed on that. That's good. It's good to have that. A lot of things to talk about from yesterday, what are the games we've eliminated that? we're not talking about. We're not talking about the Browns and Ravens game. Nothing to see here. Cardinals Panthers is gone. You guys said nothing on Cardinals Panthers, but that would
Starting point is 00:04:03 have been a pretty stunning comeback. It would have been. If Carolina pulled it off. But it wasn't, so we're not talking about it. Okay, correct. Are we talking Rams, Titans? Well, Cam Ward's throw. At one play, I can talk about. Cam Ward's throw, they're built ram tough. I told you that. Pooka's good. That's going to be. Well, I wanted to get into
Starting point is 00:04:19 something with Pooka, and then we'll put this game aside. Just real quick. Because I saw yesterday in the Jacksonville game, and I cannot believe that I saw it, that Jacksonville game is as inexplicable a loss as I've seen since the one that had the Chargers in Jacksonville in the playoffs. Jacksonville had no business losing that football game. If I'm a Jacksonville fan today, I am furious that my team made the number of mistakes in that game to lose to a backup quarterback who threw three interceptions because they had a ton of them. I heard the announcer at one point, I'm tuning in
Starting point is 00:04:51 the game and I hear the announcer in the end zone. Brown has dropped the ball. Brown has dropped the ball, and the announcer says, that is a catch that you have to make 100 out of 100 times. Every receiver in the league makes that catch 100 out of 100 times. Dropped in the end zone. Trevor Lawrence throws an interception in the end zone. But what I watched in that game is I'm like, oh, that happened fast. Tooten is better than Etienne and looks more athletic. And the game has, like, chewed up Etienne, and I'm like, woo, that happened very quickly to the running back in disposable position.
Starting point is 00:05:23 I'm watching Puka run down the field and I'm like 45-yard runs by receivers usually look fast but that guy needs WD-40 because what a big... Lumbering. Oh my God. Whatever's happened to his body
Starting point is 00:05:38 playing as physical as the Rams make their receivers play? He hasn't been in the league that long. He hasn't. He has not been in the league that long. Speed was never really his game. No, but I'm talking about the lumbering. I'm not even talking about the speed.
Starting point is 00:05:49 A weird thing to say on a 45-yard run for a match town. Understood. Where he catches the... corner understood like he went off tackle on this one pal yep i'm i'm well aware of the observation i'm making and how ridiculous it sounds and also that sport makes it so that those guys have about five years of that kind of life in their body you're already seeing it with mahomes how how silly do those throws look now when he's rolling to his right and trying to flip it and they don't have
Starting point is 00:06:15 the timing right and he's at somebody's feet don't do this don't do this with patrick mahomes just warning you right now at games on Travis kelsey They have injuries. They've had a tough opponent so far. I'm not doing this. Learn from last year. Well, let's do this part. The news from yesterday is Burroughs injury, okay, and very high up on the list.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I don't know what else it is that you guys would put on this list. It's not just the Chiefs falling to O and 2. It's not just the season they had last year where they won all the one-score games and now they've lost the one-score games. It's that also, when they're hurt and Patrick Mahomes needs help, Taylor Swift's fiancé last week injured one of their deep threats running a route, and this week at the goal line where they got the defending champs where they want them at the goal line, the Mahomes Kelsey timing, which is like, it's the sweetest thing except maybe St. Brown and
Starting point is 00:07:11 golf. Like it's the sweetest thing in the sport in terms of two players who have a timing that has been for five years made him the greatest statistical tight end we've ever seen. at the goal line. Their timing is off. He throws it too early. Or the route's not right. It hits Kelsey in the arm late. And then the Eagles pick it off, run the other way and take the whole game. If it hits your hands, you catch the wall. Like timing's not off. If it hits you in the arms of the place. Travis Kelsey's messing up there. It's not Patrick Mahomes' timing. That play by the Chief's tackle to chase that guy down might have been the most impressive thing I saw yesterday. You know what's funny about you saying that? I'm going to go ahead and say neighbors was that for me. in terms of the two catches when he's double-teamed and you got Diggs punching, like he's cleanly punching at the ball.
Starting point is 00:07:58 The strength of these human beings in their hands. I want something to be noticed here from yesterday that I find legitimately breathtaking every time I see it because of how fast everyone is and the field isn't big enough for all those human beings, which is why so many things have to be done by inches. The number of receivers who are 40 yards down the field catching a ball with one arm against their helmet or shoulder pad, they hit the ground and the ball doesn't move, doesn't move. When I'm sitting there looking at it, I'm like, that's 40 yards from the quarterback. How does that ball in that space not move when it's in the crook of your elbow or they've got just one hand on it?
Starting point is 00:08:35 It must have happened like six times yesterday. And also what happened? These guys are getting a lot better at punching the football. The immortal Mark Andrews yesterday had one punched out of his hands because of how good these guys. Diggs had neighbors. He had him. Diggs is punching at the football. in neighbor's hands, but his hands are too strong.
Starting point is 00:08:53 The ball doesn't move in his hand. I could see them changing that rule at some point because, I mean, like, you're literally just allowed to punch a player. They should change that. Hopefully you hit the ball, but if you miss the ball, it's still okay then to punch a player during the game. Isn't that how Josh Allen got his nose broken? Like, isn't that how it happened?
Starting point is 00:09:12 They're going to change that rule. They should. They've gotten really good at that peanut Tillman thing where they just punch the football. So, Chris, you're not wrong when you say an offense. offensive lineman chasing down a DB when he doesn't have the angle was super impressive. But, I mean, this Tesla guy in Detroit has made two of the greatest catches I've seen in the first two weeks of the season. And he's not one of the best receivers in the league yet. But he's made two catches.
Starting point is 00:09:39 And I'm like, oh, my God. There was no space for him to make either of those catches. The news from yesterday, though, Burrow, Chiefs O and two, and Kelsey being at the center of the loss. Taylor Swift was never shown on the television, right? This team, Mahomes has never lost three straight. That's where we are right now. And on offense, they're constipated. He made one deep throw. He missed another deep throw. And they needed a bailout yesterday against the champions. The Eagles, how about this stat? The Eagles four times have passed for under 100 yards. They're 4 and 0. Under 100 yards passing. The Eagles have taken the entire
Starting point is 00:10:25 offensive league and they're like, nope, we're just going to do this one and a half yards at a time with Sequin Barclay, and we're just going to ground you to dust, punching you in the face, and they've eliminated the gulf that the chiefs had between the rest of the league and them with a kind of football that's barbaric, it's primitive. Jalen Hertz does not care whether or not he gets any stats or not. How do you go on the road and beat the Chiefs and become 4-0 in games where you have fewer than 100 passing yards in the modern age? Yeah, I have Jalen Hertz on my fantasy team, so believe me, I know when you say he doesn't
Starting point is 00:10:59 care about his stats. He's not a great fantasy quarterback, but all he does is win because all he has to do is hand the ball off to Saquan Barkley. What a great, and that offensive line is everything that the bad offensive lines like Miami's is not. They cheat on a touch push, though. We've seen, we see Chase Daniel put it out there. Like, they're leaving early.
Starting point is 00:11:18 They're just going in early. They're hitting defensive line. I think sometimes they're also starting over the football before the snap. There's just no integrity in this game anymore. Isn't it funny to you guys, though, to see the Eagles winning that way while Tinsley is sitting there making us ask again? Hey, is one shin worth two feet? One shin? There was like four of those yesterday where it's one shin is worth two feet because all they're doing is getting a
Starting point is 00:11:44 shin it. Did you see the video of when Jalen Hertz was kneeling down at the end of the game? And, you know, under 100 yards, they keep winning games. And Chris Jones, on the other side of the ball, was trash talking Jalen Hertz. That's like, oh, you didn't do shit. You had under 100 yards. Hertz is like, we won the bleepin game. Right? Relax about
Starting point is 00:12:08 100 yards. Oh, but it is so frustrating. If you're the chiefs, I mean, it was Chris Jones and Tyreek Hill saying, saying we're going to win seven or eight of these. And now it's just these giant guys saying we're going to push you back at the end of the game, just two yards at a time. What are you going to do? Chris Jones is going to be jumping over the top trying to paw at this dumb play, this incredibly dumb play that is short-circuited all of the offense in the league.
Starting point is 00:12:31 I do think people should look at it, though. It's one thing that it's unstoppable. It's another thing that it's unstoppable and they're getting unfair advantages. If they're lining up over the football, if they're starting early, those go against the rules of the game. So they got to call that. Let's just be clear on one thing here, though, going against the rules of the game for just a second, okay?
Starting point is 00:12:52 Because this play is stupid. Because whenever the rules of the game are Brock Osweiler is the offensive guy throwing four yards at a time. You know what happens? They change the rules of the game when it's not entertaining. This is shitty to watch these guys eat up clock when you've got 10 minutes of action in a game. running a yard at a time.
Starting point is 00:13:13 It's not for the customer. It's already an iconic play. And I'd like to see someone stop it before we put it to bed. But if they're not stopping it, because they're cheating on it and certainly early. Not entertaining on top of that. You can't be unstoppable and cheat at the unstoppable play. So do something about the play? And how do they actually know where the ball is?
Starting point is 00:13:33 There's 10 guys on top of Hertz there. How do they actually know where to spot the ball? because one of those touch pushes yesterday was really close. It's like, I have first down. This episode is supported by FX's The Lowdown, starring Ethan Hawk.

Starting point is 00:14:57 is believed to have been swallowed whole by a 13-foot shark Without any of her friends noticing That's the weirdest thing. Hmm. That's the weirdest part about that story. You're swimming with friends. You're having a good time.
Starting point is 00:15:09 And then all of a sudden, people are looking around and go, where's Shelley? Like, nobody screamed? Every friend group has a Shelley, though, that if they go missing because a shark ate them hole, you wouldn't notice. Classic Shelley. Exactly right. Stugats. She went quietly, apparently. If I'm swallowed a hole by a shark, you're going to know it.
Starting point is 00:15:27 This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats. By the way, if the dolphins were tanking right now, and if Kansas City was serious about maybe wanting Tyreek Hillback because they desperately need him, now would be the time to make that deal. Optimum value right now. Who would want to bring that guy into your locker room? Well, we already discussed this last week. Let's leave that alone because we left the dolphins alone last segment.
Starting point is 00:16:07 Well, the Chiefs lost worthy, though. I mean, they're not crazy. They're desperate. This is a good idea by you, Greg. The Eagles are 18 and 1 in their last 19 games. And when I say that play doesn't care about the customers, neither does this, okay? Here is what I'm going to read here from Dennis Dodd just from this weekend. The FBS games, if you wanted to watch,
Starting point is 00:16:32 them Saturday, you needed ABC, Fox, CBS, CBSSSN, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Plus, SEC North Plus, ESPNU, FS1, Paramount Plus, Peacock, HBO, Macs, YouTube, True TV, TNT, Spectrum Sports, Big Ten Network, SEC Network, SEC North Plus, ACC Network, Mountain West Network, the CW Network, NEC Front Row. Who is this Dodd guy? Does he have 37 TVs in his house? Like, what is this article even? You can't possibly watch all those games at one time if you wanted to watch them all. You can't watch them all. Well, let's assume here real quick. When did it become our right to be able to watch every game that's happening? Half of the games that are on now didn't even use to be televised. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Like, FIU games were not on every single week 10 years ago. It's when you make it free and then charge people. That's when. But it's never been free. It has been free. It has never been free. It has never been free. Every game has never been free.
Starting point is 00:17:31 No, not every game. Football has been free before. You're used to getting the games that you want on network television. Well, network's not free. I mean, it's still free. You want to watch Fox? Network is free. Well, that's broadcast.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Yeah. Those are still free. That's broad. Like, Network is free. The Foxx1, TNT. Well, no, that's network. That's cable. That's cable.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Network is ABC, NBC, NBC, and CBS, and CBS, and Fox, I get it. Yeah, it's stuff that you can get with an antenna. It's four now, I guess, right? It's not Big Three anymore, Greg. I think it's four. Is someone peeing? That's streaming. Whenever we're talking about streaming, they play the streaming sound.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Did you guys enjoy the CW's biggest game ever? Because I really enjoy, because these things are hard to do. And we've gotten spoiled at how professional they look everywhere. And so the CW getting in the game, it does look a little cheaper. They're trying their best. You can see that the broadcast quality does not have... When did you notice it? I noticed it during the pregame show.
Starting point is 00:18:35 That's when I noticed it. Ridiculous. That's when I noticed. During the pregame show, I'm looking that, I'm like, that studio's not lived well enough. And that's what I do. And I'm like, it's funny. They're giving the games now to some networks that are quite ready yet to do the games. The Keynes deserve better than CW.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Come on. How the hell did that happen? Why was that Cain's game? a game between ranked teams not on a bigger network. That's my fault. That's my fault. No, I dropped the ball there.
Starting point is 00:19:04 He's dressed like an executive with the program. The ACC and CW have an agreement for some games. Sad. Did you guys watch, did any of you watch the Jacksonville game? I'm telling you that the way they lost that game, the people who are listening to this in Jacksonville, are saying to themselves that they've never lost a game quite like that. of the number of things they did wrong.
Starting point is 00:19:29 First of all, Trevor Lawrence is good. I told you, 10 minutes of live action per game. It's not a lot of live action. He is good for one dropped snap a game. Like just waste it, throw a play away. He's also good for why did he throw that over someone's head by 10 feet as a rocket shot when like every other quarterback in the league makes that throw accurately. He did mix in a throw-up ball, what your three yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Yes, he's the most likely to do that too. Yes, put that on the poll. lebatard show, is Trevor Lawrence, the quarterback in the league, most likely to throw the ball three yards past the line of scrimmage because he's a galloping horse paying no attention to what's happening at the yard market? Mahomes owes Deeks. He'll, like, Mahomes will fake a throw like nine yards down and people fall for it. That's good move. I can't even blame Trevor Lawrence because he did make the two throws in that game that you have to make, but Brian Thomas dropped one of them. They had it. They're up 27, 24. It's fourth and two. They're not kicking the field goal.
Starting point is 00:20:25 They're saying, no, we're going to end the Bengals here by making it a two-score game. We trust our offense that much, and then your best wide receiver drops the easiest of balls. And then you allow the backup quarterback who has thrown three interceptions to convert a fort down and drive all the way down the field. It's as bad a loss as a team had yesterday, and I watched that Arizona-Carolina game, and I'd still be saying that even if Carolina won. The almost loss is as battle loss as you can have in that sport. They were going to do that, too. That game was just a little bit longer.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Can't talk about that one, has been taken off the board. My bad, my bet. Steelers, Seahawks, Aaron Rogers, through the interceptions and had another one that should have been an interception. That DB is going to be haunted by his inability to catch a ball that was thrown right at his face mask. But the Seahawks go on the road and all of a sudden the Steelers don't look like they looked in week one. And when I'm watching this game, this is what I did. I'm like, yeah, one of the analysis I haven't done before. If you're in your 40s and you have eight months to prepare for a game,
Starting point is 00:21:28 your body probably feels a little bit different than if you've had five days. And it probably, after 40, that would be a decent place for a quarterback to age when the defensive linemen are 25 years old and 100 pounds heavier than you and faster. And where's their defense? Is it giving up over 30 points both games this year? The week one was very scary because while we were saying we haven't seen their offense do that, we hadn't seen their defense do that. And two weeks worth of a sample here,
Starting point is 00:21:52 it doesn't look like that Jets defense is nearly anywhere near as good as people expected. So maybe some fools go gold in that week one performance from Aaron. The first two games out of Aaron Rogers, the Jets fans are nodding their heads because they've seen it. Where you're going to get from him at his age is three mediocre games in a row and then a brilliant game and then another bad game and then a brilliant. He's just so inconsistent right now. He still has it in him, but he can't bring it up all the time
Starting point is 00:22:19 because he's old. That's part of it, but I would say also he was three for 11 for 36 yards and an interception whenever the Seahawks sent pressure. So his decision making's not old. We're in agreement on that, right? It's his body that's old. It's the sacks too. The point was made last week. Physically, very different quarterback. It's going to have to do it a different way. The evading pressure, not happening. I think it was sack three times. I thought the thing that stunned me the most about week one was the Steelers' offense and the reason that it stunned me because they got lucky that the Jets
Starting point is 00:22:53 fumbled a kickoff to get them back in the game. We wouldn't have been talking about MVP Aaron Rogers and his four touchdowns if they had not. But the thing that was stunning to me about week one is I was expecting them to do four-yard slants like they did with Rathlisberger at the end and control the ball
Starting point is 00:23:09 and play defense. I didn't expect sling it all over the field and throw it to D.K. Metcalfe who can't be guarded by a cornerback or anybody a cornerback size if he just puts his body on I thought that's what they were going to do all season. Watching them lose at home against Seattle, nobody's expecting anything from Seattle, correct? No.
Starting point is 00:23:27 Yeah, mediocre. Not bad. Mediocre, but bottom half of the league playoff team, maybe like last year, I'm not expecting Gino Smith to be, I'm not expecting Sam Darnold to be better than Gino Smith was, just like I'm not expecting J.J. McCarthy to be better than what Sam Darnold was in Minnesota. We're not talking about Minnesota Atlanta either, though. We have the Saints this weekend. which is an easy one. Cardinals will be a little
Starting point is 00:23:51 tougher for the following. No, Saints 49ers then. We're not going to talk about that game. No, he's on the... Yeah, we're talking Seahawks right now. I think that's a game we shouldn't be watching. Which one? Saints? Saints, 49ers. There's two and one. There's stuff to talk about, like Christian McCaffrey's so good. But right now, we're on week three. Yeah, yeah, week three. St. Seahawks right now. Then at Cardinals.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Oh, anybody's game. That's a Thursday night. Thursday night or two. Tuss out the records when you have Thursday night. Then versus the bucks. Wow. Put the kids to bed potentially. Mm-hmm. Four o'clock, early bedtime, but I know what you coach he's smart he can game plan yeah jags 1 p.m following week well dan's gonna be locked down we know that yeah texans that was a good jaggs game you guys are sleeping that's a late one huh anybody was watching that jaggs game call tony can you guys call tony no thanks i'd like to call tony and find out how tony is feeling about how the jaggs lost that football game and when i mentioned gregg to you
Starting point is 00:24:42 that the the uh the miami dolphins uh haven't faced stars yet Cook is a star. I know a lot of you love him in fantasy, and I know that we're not doing that really with running backs unless it's Sequin Barclay. But that dude's balance, what cometh this way for the Dolphins with that offense,
Starting point is 00:25:03 where James Cook is there what? Third, fourth, best skill guy? Like, maybe you put him... No, maybe he's a second best. Yeah, but with a large golf. You got until the end of the segment to take pack of the same. We got Keonan Coleman in there? No, I got Colin. We're going to attack you.
Starting point is 00:25:18 We're not going to stop until you apologize. I think that Shakir and Coleman, over the next four years, will grow more than James Cook. Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch. James Cook may be retired in four years. He's a running back. You said right now he's their third or fourth-best skill guy. I'll take that back. I will take that back.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Second best. I will take that back and I will put him second. I will just also add that those wide receivers, I believe, are also going to be stars playing with the MVP. And so now I think you've got basically four of the five best offensive players that the Dolphins have seen through three weeks and a defense who can't do anything about it. Yeah, Jonathan Taylor certainly ranks. I said four or five. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I mean, Daniel Jones, the MVP came into a seat is actually a thing for Tony. Like, they haven't punted. Okay. But, okay. They haven't punted. Does Brian Dayball get more heat for his current quarterback situation or the Colts quarterback situation? His current quarterback situation got a career high from Russell Wilson while he was playing Jackson Dart and it would have been even more of a career high if he hadn't been platooning quarterbacks in the game and giving Jackson Dart plays. But Daniel Jones completed 16 of 25 passes for 265 yards in a touchdown against the Blitz.
Starting point is 00:26:40 That's the fourth most passing yards against five or more pass rushers in a game in the next gen statutes. era. That's since 2016. That's how good Daniel Jones was in his decision making against the Blitz. He's been spectacular the first two weeks. I think the thing you guys are forgetting, though, is he's Daniel Jones. And this is going to go the way Daniel Jones. The ebbs and flows with Daniel Jones, you know? It's also the Colts too. Because they can do this occasionally. What is it? What do they have? They inject their quarterbacks with something when they get there, right? Like the first time, like, oh, this quarterback has been a long time. This is like, you know, a veteran quarterback. And then they give them something at the start.
Starting point is 00:27:16 You're like, oh, wow. Like, this person might be the MVP. And then by the end of the season, whatever it is, wears off. They're the first team in NFL history to not punt in their first two games. They score their first 10 drives. Steve Martin also did that one time. You can get protein at home or a protein latte at Tim's. No powders, no blenders, no shakers.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Starting at 17 grams per medium latte, Tim's new protein lattes, protein without all the work at participating restaurants in Canada. Wendy's most important deal of the day, has a fresh lineup. Pick any two breakfast items for $4.00. New four-piece French toast sticks, bacon or sausage wrap, biscuit or English muffin sandwiches, small hot coffee, and more.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Limited time only at participating Wendy's taxes extra. Don Libetard. While there's nothing official and conversations are still ongoing. Was that a fake chefter? It was pretty good. It was excellent. I feel like there's legs. I tried at the beginning and then I lost confidence in it.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Why? It was good. You got this. There's nothing official. It's so good. The conversations are still ongoing. Stugats. It is trending towards Nick Siriani, remaining the head coach of the Eagles. This is the Dan Lebatar show with the Stugats.
Starting point is 00:28:30 You guys say that the blitz, he's been good against the blitz. The dolphins have a problem in that when they blitz, their corners have to cover. Yes, that's why they should never blitz. And so that's part of why Daniel Jones looked like that week one. I don't believe he will be that against the Blitz all season. I believe he's been that against the Blitz over two games, and none of you remember what
Starting point is 00:28:54 happened the first two games of last year, because the Eagles started slow, and they've won 18 of 19. Well, I mean, the Colts that do have the Titans next. At Tennessee. But what do they have after that? I'm glad you asked that. I printed out the entire schedule for every team. Then they are at the Rams. Then they host Vegas. What time is that? Because I may put the daughter to bed. That one? I've got to look that one up, yeah. To get it all on one page, we're losing the times here. Do you guys think that the Lions fans found it funny that St.
Starting point is 00:29:24 Brown fakes a hammy injury as part of his touchdown celebration? No. That was not a cool celebration. Not funny. Not cool. Especially not with Baltimore coming up. What are you doing there? What kind of celebration is that faking, falling to the ground?
Starting point is 00:29:36 There's karma around the corner. Faking a hamstring injury seems not a great idea. Did you start twerking after? That was a thing, right? We used to fake your hand, and then you twerk. That same. dude from the Colts that did that last week had a great celebration, an all-timer
Starting point is 00:29:50 with the Colts mascot. I thought, I saw that going around. I didn't think that was funny. He put the football on his belly to make his belly the same size of the mascot and then they both that's at best a fine set. Like you just called it an all-time celebration.
Starting point is 00:30:05 Mascots are funny. It's not Joe Horn taking a pen out of the thing. Chris, it's a grown man. That's in all-time. Thank you. What are you talking about? It's a grown man. It's a grown man dressed as a horse.
Starting point is 00:30:15 He's dressed a horse. a horse. And he does always funny. That's right. Joe Horn was the phone. When the mascot puts his hand behind the belly and does the hip thrust. When the mascots get involved, everything goes crazy. And so he had Joe Horn pulling a phone, not a phone, but a pen
Starting point is 00:30:30 out of the goalpost. But it was T.O. who pulled the pen out of his sock. Again, watch how guys are finding this much space to get their shin inbound because everything's moving so fast. And somebody on the field had a pen in their sock. A butt is too
Starting point is 00:30:46 feet, right? Yeah. Well, the... So it was a knee? Mm-hmm. We already did this. Yeah, we did. But the mascot...
Starting point is 00:30:53 But we left it open. There was some confusion. The mascot was in the end zone, though. Yeah. Well, the thing that I wanted to say about that is I stopped the television only once every month or so for my wife, because the only part of football that she likes is when the mascots are involved in the celebrations. And taking the football, putting it under your stomach, and then doing a sexual thrusting.
Starting point is 00:31:16 with the mascot. I don't think it's an all-time celebration. Thank you. It's just a fine celebration. I do. I will remember it forever. But when you involve the mascots, you've made any celebration a great deal more memorable.
Starting point is 00:31:28 But since we're here now, let's do it. What are the greatest celebrations you've seen in sports? What ranks is number one if you can only pick one? Brandy Chastain has her moment. I'm going to go. My favorite of all time is Prince Fielder after a home run, jumping on home plate and all of his teammates falling down like bowling pins because I've got a bias toward the fat guys.
Starting point is 00:31:49 So when a fat guy can do a celebration, that is my favorite. But you have plenty to choose from here. And Randy Moss pulling his pants down. Joe Buck getting furious about his moon. pantomiming a moon. Holy up, wait. This is the good shit. What is it, July?
Starting point is 00:32:10 I had to check the calendar. Best celebrations in sports? You said it was an all-time, it's your fault. Yeah, yeah, I'd pass it that. Greg, did you go? What's your favorite celebration ever? And then what's your least favorite? Spikes overrated.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Nobody spikes the ball anymore. What? How about you just spike the ball and that'd be a celebration? Nominate somebody. Argue with the demon of debate. Nominate a best celebration of all time. I prefer the individual celebration, so I want Jalen Waddle to bring back the Waddle.
Starting point is 00:32:44 That's a good one. What about the, what about the Icky shuffle? Oh, I love that. It's out in the dirty bird. Yeah, I love that one. How about Jaylen want to stay on the field, man? Jeez, Louise. I get blown by air and he's on the ground.
Starting point is 00:32:57 The July-ass topic. You brought it up. I didn't bring anything out. No, you brought up best celebrations the whole time. You made it. No, you made an old time. You want to give time and temp, huh? You made it a lot.
Starting point is 00:33:09 You're that basic? You made it an old... Where's the other guy? I don't know why the angel nuance hasn't been around in a while. I thought you guys worked this stuff out before it started. The angel nuance...
Starting point is 00:33:21 I don't think Chris is going to find the sound in time so I don't want to put him in a bad spot. It's always a bad sign when he just like off my goes. He's been doing it a lot lately. Can you not find the angel of nuance sound? Is that the problem? Chris, we've been... You have the media touch there.
Starting point is 00:33:35 There's a lot going on. It's been... I would reach it with one of my hooves. It's good. that when you're producing the show, you have time to yell about the topic I've chosen as a July topic when your character brought it up
Starting point is 00:33:48 as one of the all-time celebrations. Well, you know, I'll try and mix it in. We've got a couple sales proposals that are like, can we get the deal in? I'm like, what's what? Well, how much do I get paid? Good accountability today. What the hell is that?
Starting point is 00:34:00 It's that angelic music. I took a shot. That's not it. What? Good try, though. You're doing a really great job. You're trying your hardest. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:34:07 It's pretty good. It's not. It's a good. I mean, Billy, kudos to you. You ran with it. Sloppy shop. Look, Chris Cody, Chris Cody sometimes stumbles around. I went away, pal.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Just don't, just, you know what, forget it. We can't even sell this. It's over, Chris. It's been sabotaged. But I will point out to the audience, please get me the Ken Rosenthal video because before the show, Chris Cody is very good at telling others
Starting point is 00:34:36 how it is they should be doing their job except sometimes his job comes up for display and you see what just happened there. What happened here with Ken Rosenthal that had you, Chris, ripping him the way that you were ripping him for being maximum Ken Rosenthal with the bow tie? He's a
Starting point is 00:34:53 sideline reporter for baseball, has been for many years, probably the most famous that there is in all of baseball. I've always thought Ken Rosenthal, nice guy. And in this video, he is doing a sideline interview with a Brewers player and it's after a game. They've just won. So then the
Starting point is 00:35:09 water, you know, they do this thing where it lets me spill water, gatorade on him, and Ken Rosenthal backs up to get out of the way. And he just runs over, I don't know if it's a social media person, somebody holding a phone crouched, like crouched over. Someone doing their job. Yeah. Someone doing their job. And he backs into them. And Ken Rosenthal, look at that look. Give this, gives this guy a look. Let's run the whole thing back, guys, because you kind of just see him give this dismissive look of what are you doing messing up Ken Rosenthal shot. Look at him. He's like, What are you doing there? Oh, he stared him.
Starting point is 00:35:40 And then he kind of gives a smirk. It shakes his head. Shakes his head. How do you not, like, reach out a hand on? Hey, can I help you? Like, zero effort to help him up on double back and stared him down again. Then nods his head and disgust. I can't believe this.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Then gets back in front of the camera and puts his smile back on. I'm like, ah, this was fun. What kind of behavior is that? Everyone is enjoying themselves smiling, but Ken Rosenthal was afraid that he was going to get fall down backwards into the dugout. Ruins it for me. His eyes are saying right there, you don't do that. Ken Rosenthal.
Starting point is 00:36:09 That's like Sarkesian behavior. Wait, you're blaming the photographer for this, Dan? No. I'm not blaming anyone. I'm looking at what's happening here, and I'm seeing everyone is happy, and I think Ken Rosenthal was probably afraid. Look, I've almost gotten. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Okay. He was afraid? That's an angry man right there. He assaulted a man, and then blame the victim. I have noticed my dog, okay, misbehaves at stoplights in the back seat. sometimes barks and what I get from people who are afraid is a lot of looks like that after they've been scared by something and that's how they react by wanting to fight me because my dog scared them and that look to me is what the hell are you doing there what your dog bite someone also
Starting point is 00:36:54 like I see why you'd be afraid of that dog um yeah that's billy so you're you're throwing to video there though that has everyone in it being happy everyone's thrilled except for a Ken Rosenthal, we've never seen the side of Ken Rosenthal. I mean, it's actually Ken Rosenthal's fault. He almost ran over that guy, and the guy fell like, Ken Rosenthal should be apologizing. Jeremy Tashay, you are an up-and-coming sideline reporter who wishes one day to be all the things that Ken Rosenthal is, except for that. You are kind, you are sweet. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:37:29 You are nice. How should he handle this situation? Oh, I would love to catch Jeremy doing this. Is there an explanation? Can we forgive, can we be compassionate for Ken Rosenthal in these trying times? I think that the backing into the photographer and then giving that look is a like, what were you doing in my space? How do you not know to get out of the way? The look is a bad look for him.
Starting point is 00:37:50 The going back and shaking his head, I think is more of a, oh man, these guys and their celebrations, I can't believe that happened. I don't think he's shaking his head as like continuing to shame this photographer. But overall, how do you bump into someone? and then not offer a hand to help them up. That's the part where it's like, the look, whatever. But you've bumped into someone, you've knocked them over, even if they were in your space. Like, is everyone supposed to know that there's a 20-foot radius
Starting point is 00:38:23 surrounding Ken Rosal that is his area. There's also a universal sign for My Bad. Like, you throw the hand out there. Yeah, turn your hand out. Just like any sort of like, hey, like you're good. No, any gesture of, hey, that's on me. I've got to go back to doing TV here. No, I've got to defend bow tie here.
Starting point is 00:38:40 The guy behind him was too close and almost tripped him up. You flipped on this. And furthermore, baseball should, all sports should outlaw the whole ice bucket thing when the player is in proximity to a working member of the media. So it was the player, his teammate, and the photographer's fault. None of Ken Rosen's all doing his job. Boatai, as you call him. He's looking to the part. photographer was doing his job as well.
Starting point is 00:39:08 You know, he's got a mic. He could be electrocuted by all that catererate. Nope. Nope. Live television, when people are doing live television, they think they are in the middle of the most important thing. Jeremy's telling you that there's not going to be an electrocution.
Starting point is 00:39:25 Our engineer just happens to be in the studio and he's shaking his head at how stupid Greg Cody said. Imagine Ken Rosenthal being electrocuted to death. You don't have to imagine it. It wouldn't happen. You just dismiss it. That would have made news.
Starting point is 00:39:38 That would have been something if his last act had been to be furious with that guy and immediately die electrocuted on live television during a Brewer's celebration. That video would be gripping. Can you guys go to Tony here? Yeah, let's call him real quick. Let's call Tony real quick and find out how we just get all the Jags analysis here. I know I'm telling you, Jags fans today are crushed by that loss. I don't understand how that happened to the Jags.
Starting point is 00:40:05 like just maximum jagging. Hello. Tony, tell me how you're feeling in general today physically based on what it is that you're doing and also what happened with the Jags. You know, I almost didn't answer this call, right? I was on the verge of looking at this number and I was like, I think that's the number. I may have the number and then I decided to pick it up, Dan. How am I feeling?
Starting point is 00:40:30 Not great. Am I a little upset that the Jags lost to? Jake Browning a little bit. I also am a little excited because I think Jake Browning to be a service of a little. There we go again with this guy. The point is, yeah, the point, the point is that nobody grabs defeat from the jaws of victory quite like the Jacksonville Jaguars. I don't know what I can express to Trevor Lawrence to get him to stop doing things that cost him the ball game, right? Brian Thomas Jr., are you shying away from the ball? Do you want to be a number one receiver are the balls hospital balls is it everybody's fault like what are we doing here what
Starting point is 00:41:11 are we doing here joe burrow goes down okay he's got people the the the news is crazy is in the killies was it a broken ankle what happened it's his toe oh we don't know what's going on all the sudden jake browning comes in who hasn't played in 17 years right since the last time i said he was in two years ago and then all the sudden he comes in and looks better than joe burrow how does that happen How does that happen where you have a guy like Jake Browning come off cold and then continue to kick your ass, right? How does that work? It's under Anthony, not Tony. Sorry, we're ordering a Chick-fil-A.
Starting point is 00:41:45 And by the way, the weekend was great. I had a great time at the bachelor party. Tired. But again, when you're kind of the biggest voice in Jags Nation, Duval County, they just laughed. They just laughed when I said Anthony. They laughed because they knew it was me, and they laughed about the Jags losing. So that's how I'm feeling, Dan.
