The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz - The Big Suey: Whose Name Is On The Cup?

Episode Date: October 25, 2024

We really need to get to our featured Tony segments, but there is still so much to cover in the world of sports. Dan leads the crew to a conversation about UFC and Tony's MMA Hangout, but the real mystery that needs solving by Detective Tony stems from a story Billy shares with the crew about a litterer in the stairwell. Then, it's the return of everyone's favorite gambling segment: Bet The House (Of Representatives). Plus, as Roy debuts a top tier Flanigan's voice and Jeremy *tries* to pepper in some baseball info ahead of tonight's World Series Game 1, Tony delivers his Top 5. Learn more about your ad choices.

So, vote for Kamala Harris. Yeah, see, that was better. The serious version was much better, right? Paid for by Harris for president.

Welcome to The Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard 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. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere,

fat face, and the habitual liar. Dan, what's that in your hand? That was very natural, Mike, but I'm excited about this. It is a coloring book meant to celebrate our 20-year anniversary. We've always prided ourselves around here on having a different artistic look, and I like some of the pictures here.

There is Roy and Mike as rakes and lethal. What is your name? Thank you. Actually, we can't use them to sell this book, so don't say their names. Okay, I bleeped that all out. I also have a meme here, falling in American boppy here. Can't say that either.

Greg Cody is wearing a. That you can say. OK, thank you. Well, maybe. Is that the Ellis you want or no? What is he wearing? He's wearing that czar. You can't say that.

You can't say that either. I'm bleeping that too. There is Stu Gatz, his guy. You cannot say his name. Please don't say that from the record. There is Stugatz's guy. You cannot say that. There he is. Mayor of Flavortown, Dan. That book is so much thicker than Stugatz's book. Lebatardaf.com. It's a lot of fun.

Flanagan. Roy's got a better Flanagan's voice than all of you. Flanagan. That's a good voice. It's a good Flanagan's voice. And I will say that, and I don't want to be prisoner of the moment, but off the top of my head,

I cannot remember a contest we've had that I have liked more that has had a better prize as the payoff, where you get to spend some legitimate time with our show, which I know the people who follow our show most closely really value. Like, this is a cool prize, and it's the kind of contest I've been wanting to do since we started at Draft King. Outrageous!

All right, Roy, what I would like from you in this segment, because unfortunately we've got too much here for 31 minutes that we have left. So I've got requests of both you and Jeremy. Jeremy, we don't have enough time for baseball, unfortunately, even though Yankees Dodgers World Series is pretty giant. Nobody here wants to talk baseball except me and you, and it's very frustrating to me.

So I would like you to just chime in occasionally with baseball facts we will ignore. Roy, I want you to just, whenever you can, use the Flanagan's voice in a very efficient manner. Outstanding. Billy, what I want from you and what I need from you. I'm here, man, I'm a teammate. Well, but I want you to be a good teammate here

because this segment. Only kind I know how to be. Well. He won't This segment features on his birthday Tony this segment features Tony and it's got a Tony's top five in it I don't care. Good luck. It's got a Tony tonight in it Wow and Also, Tony's got a big UFC event this week and he's built that out. He's built out a little lighting. He's built out a little New at Barseco live at 2pm. Yeah. You have surprise nuts. It's nuts for a midday UFC card. They usually come weak with it, but this is a really strong car. Super strong.

How's maybe the best part of the year? We got El Clasico on Saturday. We've got this UFC. We got Kings. Come on. And on Monday, all the major sports are going on. It is too much sports everywhere. And Tony, what are you doing on Saturday? Where? Because you've built out this MMA thing is fun and it's your own acreage. Over the last four years, it's been a delight to watch how this thing has grown.

Thank you, Dan. Yeah, we're going to be live with the MMA Hangup presented by Cuervo at Barseco in Brickle. Very cool spot. We're going to be doing a day card because it's over in Abu Dhabi, so it's going to be 10 p.m. over there. 2 p.m. start for the main card, and we probably have the fight of the year. The last two years, UFC has been absolutely on fire with matchmaking. They've got Ilya Tuporya, who's the featherweight champion right now, versus Max Holloway, the BMF champion, and they And they're gonna unify the belts even though they don't really want to talk about the BMF belt This is gonna be a banger of a fight

Why don't they want to talk about that belt because it's been devalued on all of the nonsense since Masvidal had it as a commercial marketing ploy. I think it's a commercial marketing ploy that the hardcore fans don't really want to See as a real belt But I feel like there's been a strong push for this belt to mean something even though that's on the back burner we've got the featherweight title which has really been like one of the best divisions in the UFC I had Luke Thomas on from morning combat also part of all the smoke also part of metal arc media also part of DraftKings and I also had

Connor Burke who's a producer for area Hwani and the new uncrowned vertical that they have over Yahoo so I actually talked to Connor, if we want to play a little song from a preview that we did for UFC 308, him kind of giving you the idea of why this fight between Elias Toporia, champion and Max Holloway is so big. I wish there was a word that was more than banger, because that's what this is.

This is my most anticipated fight for the remainder of the year. I don't know how you can call yourself a fight fan and not be excited for this one. It's everything. I mean you got this undefeated guy who's now become champion, starched one of the greatest featherweights of all time just a few months ago back in February. Now he gets a chance to add to that resume against top five, top three featherweight of all time against Max Holloway. I mean, the dude's on a run where he's lost three fights at featherweight all to the same guy in Alexander Volkonovsky. Everyone else he's been able to defeat.

And the only guy to beat Alexander Volkonovsky at featherweight, Ilya Toporya, who he's now facing the champion trying to get his belt back. There's just so many storylines. There's so many intriguing parts of this matchup. I can't wait for it. A total knockout. We're hoping for it. Again, it's going to be an incredible fight.

The card is stacked from top to bottom, headlined by the main event featherweight champion Ilya Toporia, taking on Max Holloway. We'll be over at Barseco starting about 1.30. Card starts at 2 PM. We're going to have some fun out there. A day card, which the boys absolutely love, by the the way there's nothing better than a day card you're two o'clock five o'clock you're out instead of the tempi make sure to uber

to a make sure to uber all drinks presented by Cuervo sponsored by Cuervo we love Cuervo did you know you could like I'm learning this and I have a segment or you know bit inspired by Tony I just like to say since this is Tony's yeah thing I I noticed and I asked the question that MMA tonight's logo is a hexagon, not an octagon. Yeah, and I was like, are octagons trademark? Like the shape, we just can't use it? And I was told yes, we just can't use the shape an octagon

when discussing MMA. You know that was a thing? Who's heard of that? They're incredibly litigious. I was scared because incredibly litigious. Were you reading that word? Tony, I think you're gonna struggle in the read-off. I do.

I think, I admire your bravado and your confidence, but I think the pressure of that, even though I think of you as someone who handles pressure well, reading, getting words right, not speeding up, all of it, I think, pressurized is difficult. Tony's- Reading's for nerds. Tony has it in his head, he just says it.

The reading is like, pfft. To be honest, there's been words that I pulled out that Dan's been like, no, that's not right, and then he looks it up and then it's right. So yeah, there's a bit of like a thing going on. I'm not underestimating you, I'm just saying that most people would have trouble reading under pressure.

First time in MLB history with two 50 home run hitters squaring off against each other in the World Series. Awesome! Billy, I saw you in the other room and you were making accusations and you said you had proof. You said you- Billy? You said- Billy? Billy, what do you mean falsehoods? Accusations is a strong word. It's a legend. It's alleged. It's alleged You said you had proof on a litterer. Well, yes a litterer Possibly a literate. We'll find out here's what happened

Isn't that Tony? Okay shadowing. Here's a situation Tony as we know is a part-time pilot and Detective thank you. However, none of his cases have yet have ever been solved. I don't think we've solved a case yet of the ones that he's looking into. There's a lot of open investigations that I will not comment on. It's a great character, bumbling Tony Colombo the Cuban detective. Yeah, who we yet to solve a crime, but you know that's neither here nor there. We have a stairwell that a lot of us like to use because it leads us to our cars, right? We have to take this stairwell and it's an efficient way,

it kinda cuts some of the transit that we have to do in half, honestly. We don't have to walk this way. So we take this stairwell. Now, the other day I was walking down said stairwell and I found what I thought was odd. It was just a cup that was just thrown in the middle of the stairwell and it spilled and is dripping down the stairs.

And I said, not many people use this stairwell just because of like where we are it's very convenient for us but not necessarily for like the residents. Like who would take this stairwell aside from us? And I didn't think much about it. I just thought that's kind of like who would do this.well aside from us? And I didn't think much about it, I just thought that's kind of like, who would do this? As you can see. Exactly, we're five, as you can see,

five or six steps up from the end of the stairwell, and as you can see, there's more trash there. And when I brought this up, you know, some people here, Tony included, said, a lot of littering in that stairwell. Like just- It's basically a garbage can for people. It's really weird how much trash is just

up there. Oh, is there a name? Did you, wait a minute. Okay, well hold on a second look this is why I got excited I'll hold on a second after you hold on a second the reason I got excited holding on works hold on the reason I got excited before I wasn't as excited as you but now I understand your excitement I see in the preview that there's a cup down there that looks... It's a preview, no one else can see that but you. I see the proof that you have.

Well, hold on a second. So I just walk out, right? I go down the remaining five steps and I walk out and the door's about to close and this is one of those doors that only opens from the inside. And as it's closing, something dawns on me and I reach back and I stick my hand in

and I stop the door from closing and I say, hold on a second, I bet there's a name on that cup because this cup is from an establishment that has names. So I went over and I didn't want to kind of ruin the crime scene all that much. I didn't want to get my fingerprints on it. So I used the tip of my shoe

and I just slightly rolled it over because the label was facing down so I didn't wanna get my finger pits on it. So I used the tip of my shoe and I just slightly rolled it over because the label was facing down so I wasn't certain whether or not there would be a name so I slightly just nudged it and pulled it, I don't know why I'm doing this, this is a desk in front of me, you can't even see or not on camera, but I'm showing you how I just moved it over with my foot slightly. You're doing the whole thing heroically as a detective.

You've holed dramatically, you've held the door open that was gonna lock and now with your toe you're solving a crime. Honestly, yes. Probably, you know, if this ever goes to court because I'm admitting to moving it with my foot, this would probably get thrown out. But I rolled it over and I saw there's a label with a name and I've taken a picture of said name. Would anyone like to guess who is responsible for this because the cub looked familiar to me, which is why I went back because I thought I had seen it earlier in the day. This is shocking.

Does anyone want to guess? I just saw it in preview, and I'm appalled. Enough of the preview, Dan. Enough with the preview. Spoiler. Now you can't guess. So hold on. As part of some detective work that I've been running solo,

because these are two different investigations, I've gone down that stairwell almost every day that I leave here. And there's a lot of things that are particularly from this office. There leave here. Yeah, and there's a lot of things that are Particularly from this office right there's a lot of rappers. There's a lot of cups There's a lot of things that are like oh wait a second. I know exactly where that's from that's from here That's from here that all of the you guys correct me We now are going to believe that all of that littering is the work of one person cannot correct

Well, I don't think it can be we I think it's multiple people So can I ask you a question since you apparently have been investigating this for a longer time? of one person, correct? It cannot be. I don't think it can be. I think it's multiple people. So can I ask you a question, since you apparently have been investigating this for a longer time under the influence to all of us. No! Was this like a sting? Like you're just letting the crimes continue in the name of hoping to catch the big fish? Not hoping.

Like what are we doing here? Not hoping. I knew where one of the culprits was. I was trying to see- Are you undercover? Like you're trying to get the big fish? A bit undercover, because I can admit one of those Madelineits was. I was trying to- Are you undercover? Like you're trying to get the big fish? A bit undercover because I can admit one of those Madeline Cookie rappers was mine

that's in that stairwell. So you- Hold on a second. So you're admitting to littering as well. Again, a sting operation. Undercover. Undercover. Well now you've outed yourself.

Well, the thing is now we know who the culprit is. That's entrapment, brother. Well, here's the thing. Did he entrap himself? No, no, no, no, no. I can't entrap myself. I am the law. Come get him. I am the law. There's one Madeline, there's the thing. Did he entrap himself? No, no, no, no. I can't entrap myself. I am the law. Come get him.

I am the law. There's one Madeline, there's one Madeline rapper that could be mine. That could be mine. Are you gonna pick it up now? Yeah, of course. Because now we've come full circle. What kind of slobs are you people?

Whose name is on the cup? There's a cup. So that cup's been down there for two weeks. Well, okay. That's another thing I've now once I mentioned this it turns out everyone in the office was aware of this situation Just no one wanted to speak up So it's like, you know one of those things everyone's afraid to say but now that we've talked about it

Everyone's like yeah, I've seen that cup there. Yeah that I've seen that cup there for a couple weeks Yeah, I saw another cup there last week all of a sudden we we have all these people that wanna help with this investigation. Internet sleuths, Dan, what can you do? Exactly right. My conscience is clear, because I'm just learning about this stairwell at the Elser. Well, Mike, I'm happy to report he's telling the truth. Mike's name was not on that cup. First matchup of leading home run hitters from each league

since 1956 when it was Duke, Snyder, and Mickey Man. Shut up. Rockin'! Whose name was on the cup? I don't think we wanna give that away just yet. And the reason I, let me think this out a little bit. Because, well, Billy, I now know who is responsible for this. Who's responsible?

And I do believe that we can milk this for some decent content. Oh no. Well, I got an update. So the story doesn't end when the name of the cup is revealed because I had a confession in my headset when this was being put together, Dan. So there's more to this story than we may think. There's always more.

Whose name is on the cup? Ryan Lombard. I understand what- Not that cup. Oh, sorry. Ryan Lombard. I understand what- Not that cop. Oh, sorry. I believe that the best way to do this

is to at the very least tease it till the end of the segment because I believe there should be an accusation in public. I believe this person should be made to feel uncomfortable and I believe this person should not know that it's coming. I know that that would eliminate some culprits here in the room, but I do believe that the funniest payoff here is for us to show this person the proof that they are gross and a slob and treat our place like a garbage can. I believe that's better to be done if indeed the culprit is someone who's not here today.

Was it a green cup? Now can I give you can I give you what I've learned after the fact not revealing who the person is because what I learned made this situation even weirder. Was it that Shohei Otani reached base safely in a series more than any other player in Dodgers postseason history in the NLCS? No! No, it was not that. Yeah, zip it up.

So, this is what I learned. Someone came and confessed to me privately. They said, yes, I saw the cup. In fact, I saw the cup sitting there, standing up, and I kicked it. And I said, why on earth would you behave that way? So the person who did the polluting, did conscientious polluting it would appear,

and just placed the cup in the middle of the stairwell so it wouldn't spill instead of a garbage can or just take it to their car or pour it out or whatever. They just decided, I'm gonna place this cup here, I'm gonna bend down and place this cup here and then someone else we worked with decided I'm gonna walk over and I'm going to kick the cup and I said why did you do that and this person said what else would you do? Accomplice of the crime Dan. We have a ton of people who are feral and Wolverines

around here. It's no way to run a corporation. Like honest to God, just throwing away in the stairwell something, like this is not something that would happen if people cared about their workplace. Who kicks it over? This is a beautiful building here at the... It's a new building. That's a new stairwell that already looks like the Clevelander.

I thought it was going to be, someone's gonna, we're gonna find poop on that stairwell soonwell soon well that's not inspire anyone in this office and human poop before i get to all the things i want to get to because we've got that the house it makes its undefeated to return tony this is supposed to be a segment featuring tony tony's top five and tony tonight we got sam darnell we got rams vikings we got fs u miami

and tony and bill Billy think everything with the heat is smoke and mirrors. Jean-Garlo Stanton is the first Yankee to hit four homers in two different post seasons since Reggie Jackson. Mr. October. Thank you, Stu Gotts. Let's do bet the house here because it has been a long time since we've done it, it is undefeated,

it is a wildly inefficient segment. Well, there's a reason that it's been a long time since we've done it. It is undefeated. It is a wildly inefficient segment. Well, there's a reason that it's been a long time, Dan, and I will fess up because we did say we're gonna try to do this weekly leading up to the election. However, however, this time of year, with the stakes so high, we have to kind of be responsible

with the way that we do this, right? Like, we have to be careful as to who we're gonna platform, who we're gonna put on here, who we're gonna like give access to this bit because like we don't wanna be accused of being reckless and we don't wanna just put anyone out there, people that you know may have controversies let's say, you know what I mean?

Like you wanna be responsible, it's a fun bit, yes, fun and games we have on here, oh look some random senator, some random House of Representatives, whatever it may be, right? But there's also people that just kind of say things and go out there and like, you have to make a decision. Do you wanna just platform anyone for a cheap laugh

or do you wanna like actually, you know, yes, it's fun and game, but do you wanna be responsible with your platform headed into the election? So a lot of that had to be taken into consideration and that's why it's been a couple weeks. But I'm happy to report we are back, we have some interviews lined up and I feel like we did the right thing.

Even though it let down the audience and you to an extent, we did somewhat of the right thing. Okay, Billy, you are cutting more and more into a segment that's supposed to feature Tony with your yammering. I'm just giving context. I okay found out whose name was on the cup perhaps we will by the end of this segment I want to get to 50 things let's just do bet the house irresponsibly couple no responsibly we're ten days out from the election this is how we're covering it It's time to bid.

Well, I saw it in preview. You saw the name? Yes. I saw the cup that Billy turned over with his toe. I saw it and as soon as I saw it I'm like that's funny we need that person to be here. We need that person to be here to sink into that person getting caught. Garrett Cole is the 10th pitcher in Major League history to make two different starts in game one of the World Series for two different teams. Shut up! Why don't we do this, Dan?

Wow. Okay, and we'll see what gets back to the person. I did a spit take all over the Halloween ornaments and stuff in here because of how long that intro was. I have coffee stains everywhere here. You wanna know a little behind the bit on that bit? I was doing that last night at 11.30 at night with my family asleep, so I had a comforter over me because I was making so much noise

and I didn't wanna wake everyone up for that bit. Do me a favor, video, please. Tell me there was a camera on me when I spit up all of my coffee, because that has not happened very often So I'd like that spit take if you guys have it, but Tony, let's do your top five football observations here Then Oh Tony's top five presented by door- get all your game day faves delivered.

Restrictions apply. Void wear prohibited. We also love the haters on Tony's top five. And that leads us straight to number five. No O-L-I. Straight to number five. Happy to announce Saquon Barkley, the hater killer. Hey!

That had to feel good for him against the Giants. Oh man, did that have to feel good. Second most yards all time against his former team. It also has to feel good to him to see Daniel Jones and that offense suffering without him being there to take the beating for them. Did you see the video of Sirianni talking to him on the sideline? He's like, you're 14 away from your all-time high. And he's like, let the young bucks go in.

Leadership. And he's like, you're 14 away from your all time high. And he's like, let the young bucks go in. Leadership. That is stuff that people like. I gave the stat, I'll keep giving it because it's startling. More than 600 days since Daniel Jones scored a touchdown at home. It gave him a lot of money.

I told my wife that and she's like, that's a long time. And I was like, yeah, babe, it is. Number four, Drake maybe has some talent Drake may be No Dan I know you're up. I know you're up on Sunday morning watching Jags Patriots. I know you were on I like I like Drake may I enjoyed watching him in college. I saw a great many of his ACC games. I am tired of you falling in love with every quarterback

who completes, you know, 60% of their passes on a Sunday. I said he maybe has some talent. Maybe. He does, he's a first round pick. Like he does, there's no maybe about it. He does have talent. Well. But you do fall in love with every quarterback.

I do, because you know what, it's a volume game. Dano number three. I'm starting to think that Kyle Shanahan is cursed. I don't know what it is, but man, do they have a great team on paper every year? And then everything just falls apart. Debo's got pneumonia. He's out Brandon. I you torn ACL. Uh, Christian McCaffrey has two Achilles tendonitis. We didn't even know he had one. Now he's got to, here's all got shot. Here's all got shot. They're only healthy receiver now. I got shot two months ago Kiddos got this and then the third is Jennings coming back. He is coming back, but he was hurt too last week in play He's a good player. I like him. We didn't even talk about the Broncos shooting. That's also true. Josh Reynolds

Just he's in peace to Josh. Is it a three? Isn't there a Washington player? We shot two or is it Robinson jr? Yeah, last year. Yeah. Thought some prayers to just. So it seems unusual. It's it seems a bit of an outbreak. Full me once. Number two. Oh, you know what that was, Dan? It sounded like a buzz saw. Oh, Dan, you knew it. Another day at work holding down the ball saw for the Lions and the Ravens. Just another day that the office lions,

maybe the best team in the sport. Ravens, definitely the best team in the sport. Just another day in the book. Those are two very good teams. Yes, we know. And how rare it is to know that, you know, that there are two very good teams. It's like for sure, we know these guys are good. Thought Dallas was gonna be, San Francisco. No, I'm not falling for that one. You're not? Not.

Which one? It's too many. San Francisco. The San Francisco and any McVeigh team, I'm just like, they're gonna be hanging around. They're gonna be in the conversation. The San Francisco stat I love, another one that I, you guys skipped pass for some reason. He's, Shanahan has lost 18 10 plus point leads in the fourth quarter.

It is a lot more by double, by eons, than any other 49ers coach. Like, and he hasn't coached him that long. That's a lot, that's a lot of getting ahead in games and blowing those leads, 18 of them. Mookie Betts has over a 400 career batting average and over a 900 career OPS against Garrett Cole This is a football segment Jeremy. Shut up number one Deshaun Watson karma is a mother bleeper. Hey

What is that Flanagan was startled by that what happened there? Hey, he felt that one in the loins He's like, oh, that's the entirety of Flanagan's startled by that what happened there? Hey felt that one in the loins He's like oh, that's the entirety of Flanagan's opinion on that matter That was Tony stop five Dan Oh the my pillow guy I Appreciate Billy's general sense of anarchy around here was worth the wait the three words from the my pillow guy There's a lot more, but we cut all the way out. No, I, yes, I've enjoyed that the, really. He was in disguise, Dan, I don't know if you caught on to that, he was walking around. There was a mustache.

Yeah, he shaved off the mustache to go incognito. He said he wasn't in disguise. He also was seen shortly before arguing with a child. So there's the child that he was arguing with, if they can bring that up, while he was there incognito. He then started arguing with a child. So there's the child that he was arguing with, if they can bring that up, while he was there incognito. He then started arguing with the child. He looks nothing like himself without the mustache. That guy would pass me by the street and be like, huh?

Very, very low key getting interviewed there. Wonder why he argued with that child. Just laughing about subverting freedom. So thank you for the Bet the House segment, which is undefeated so far, our only undefeated entity, even though Billy and Stugats are killing it with the gambling on God Bless Football. The two of them are having an outrageously good year so far.

We didn't kill it on Thursday Thunder. So many game time decisions! What do you want from me there? I wanted cop, I wanted puka! Parleys are hard. We haven't won one of those in a while. Can you guys just put up the spit take for me real quick? Because I'm surrounded here by cobwebs,

Halloween decorations that have a lot of coffee and stuff on them because the introduction. OK. I did spit all over the place at the length of the Bet the House of Representatives intro. Too long? Tony, where can we put Tony's Tonight? Because there wasn't room for Tony's Tonight. Next week, Dan.

Next week, we can put Tony Tonight. Tony Tonight. Yeah, thank you. It's a very special episode. They're all very special. It's Miami. It's my love letter to Miami is Tony Tonight. I love doing those.

That's one of my most enjoyed things that I do at this company is going out and doing Tony tonight I love them. So one day we'll get to them next week. Hopefully, okay if yeah day where Billy doesn't sabotage you He's not here on Thursday. So maybe that's a good day to circle. We do on a Thursday's That was a face mask I've honored Tony in this segment we did a whole segment honoring He has and I've been very supportive of him. I picked him. I put my money on him in the read-off. But come on. They weren't going 80 more yards. It's a minute left. But it was a face mask. It was. It was clear and obvious. It was egregious and I'm glad that they admitted that they got the wrong call, but they weren't winning that game.

Yeah, the first matchup of two MVPs in the World Series since Miguel Cabrera and Buster Posey. Sam Darnold. Hey, hey. Good enough. Good enough, exactly right. And Tony's tears, he falls. The jury was still out on him. But you know what?

Flipped over. Good enough. What do you do now if you're the Rams? You were entertaining, trading Cooper Cup, and now you've got Cup and Nakua there. And they're a different team with those guys. Tricky. I do find funny because we were saying,

we've been talking now for about 10 days where I keep reducing the number of good teams in the league and you tried to lob a Rams at me, but the Rams legitimately haven't been healthy for a year and a half. Like we know their coach is great, we know when Stafford is healthy, he's going to make the right plays,

he's one of the best quarterbacks in the sport, and if you give him anything at all, he'll put up 30 points on Flores at home. If they're in the playoffs, I'm betting them to cover. I just trust them and the major thing that's been in their way has been health, but if these teams can survive these injuries, and luckily they're in the right division to do it, where if they just tread water, I'm still high on the Niners and the Rams, because if they get their guys back at the right time,

we've seen, let's not act like this is a hot take. We've seen this time and time again. Rams recently got hot down the stretch, rattled seven of eight. I just trust these guys. These are proven commodities in the league. Keep an eye out for the Seahawks to defense playing well once DK Metcalf gets back well do you know Smith I don't know if I'm surprising any of you with this I don't know if the stats change this

weekend but he headed into the weekend with more completions and more yards than anyone in the sport I will not trust that to win. I will not. Him, Sam Darnold, all of these guys who are in the middle, I expect them all to be taken out by the playoffs because you know what these human beings are and you need quarterbacks better than that in order to win. Generally speaking, over the last few years, what it is that we've seen for a long time now there aren't any there aren't a lot of middling quarterbacks getting in there the one that Stafford won Stafford basically reinvented his entire legacy by winning it where we can now all say yes Stafford's really a great quarterback Jared Goff was middling until he wasn't and now he's an elite quarterback in

this league so it's like you still have that Stafford was so good yesterday there was an unbelievable wizardry play that he pulled off. Getting out of that sack and finding Cup in the back of the end zone. And Cup, he looked rusty getting back, but Nakua did not. He looked good. So we have a decision to make.

Are we revealing who it is? We're like 15 seconds away. That's up to Dan. Do you want to do it on video with a picture? Yeah, I think that's what we do at the end. Quietly, so it doesn't get back to him. Just, okay. So none of us can say anything.
