Mike Fuentes
You're listening to DraftKings Network.
Stugots
God bless football. Billy Gill.
Mikey A
God bless football, Mikey.
Mike Fuentes
God bless football. Fuentes.
Billy Gill
God bless football. Stugots.
Stugots
Thank you, Mike Fuentes. Billy told me right before we came on air, you're sweating through your shirt.
Mikey A
And I am.
Stugots
It's, it's, it's, it's hot out.
Mike Fuentes
It looks gross there.
Mikey A
Yeah, yeah, it is hot out today, by the way. Today's episode of Godless Football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.
Stugots
Wow, Billy, we have a lot to get to.
Mikey A
I'm. Can I just say we're in the same room today. It's different. It's a different feeling.
Stugots
Weird.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
We haven't been in the same room in what feels like months. Not just on this show, just in general. We're never in the same place anymore.
Stugots
I feel like just a couple of day, a couple of weeks ago on this show, you and I were in the same room. That was at the last time you and I were in the same room together. I think you're right.
Mikey A
We're probably. Since the super bowl, we've been in the same room maybe four times.
Stugots
Do you miss me?
Mikey A
I. You know, it's different. It's a different feeling when you're in the same room. Different energy, right? Yeah.
Stugots
A better energy.
Mikey A
Different energy.
Stugots
A better feeling.
Mikey A
Yeah, different one.
Stugots
Different. You won't get me better. Just different. Huh?
Mikey A
Listen, the sappy stuff is for next week with our last metal arc episode. This is. We're still going to be, you know, still just giving you the regular football X's and O's gridiron talk.
Stugots
Listen, if you care about Billy, if you care about Mikey A. If you care about their children. If you care about their children eating, then I need you to subscribe, rate, and review the God bless football podcast feed. We need you to do it, okay. Our livelihoods depend on it.
Mikey A
Okay.
Stugots
Too strong.
Mikey A
You want to play? Here's a headline. We have a number. We have a number of things going on here today. We have. Here's a headline. Blind rankings. We have some more Mike Lee's.
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
What do you guys want to get started with today?
Stugots
I want to start with the headlines, man.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Yes. Got to start with the headlines. Bill, you have one?
Mikey A
I do. You want me to go first? You guys want me to go first? It took a somber tone. I gotta be honest with you.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
We had, like, good energy, and now.
Stugots
I know. But you made me sad. We haven't seen each other, you know, we're not in the same room nearly as often as we used to be. Final shows on the network.
Mikey A
Maybe we shouldn't be in the same room. Maybe that's the problem. Like, when we're in different rooms, we, you know.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
Don't get sappy. We don't get emotional. We don't really feel anything.
Stugots
I love you, Bill.
Mikey A
I feel enough of that. All right, here's a headline. Justin Jefferson says winning a gold medal in the Olympics would be a dream come true.
Stugots
Wow. I mean, come on, give me a break.
Billy Gill
Powerful stuff.
Mikey A
Here's the thing. The other headline there is that the NFL announced that NFL players can now play in the Olympics, I guess coming up in 2028 in L. A.
Stugots
But it can't be a dream come true if flag football was not an Olympic sport. When you were growing up as a kid, you never had the dream.
Mike Fuentes
I mean, that's a really new dream to have.
Mikey A
No, I think his dream was really, it was just winning a gold medal at the Olympics, like in track, basketball, whatever. He's just always dreamt about winning a gold medal in the Olympics. I wrote down here for the first time, and I'm surprised that I haven't done this before, that it hasn't happened yet. I wrote down here what I believe Stugats response to that would have been. Okay, so I wrote down, justin Jefferson says winning a gold medal in the Olympics would be a dream come true. And then I have what I thought that your response would be. Okay, do you want to know what it is?
Stugots
Yeah, of course. We all do.
Mikey A
All right. The response that I wrote for Stu Gotz, which I'm surprised he didn't have, was, how about you dream About Lombardi.
Stugots
Well, that too. I mean, accurate.
Mikey A
Yeah, because like, you, that should be the dream.
Stugots
You're a football player dream of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of.
Mikey A
The season, especially when you enter the NFL.
Stugots
Right?
Mikey A
Like, that's kind of the dream is like, you know what? I really want to win a Super Bowl. But poor, poor Justin. Here's me like, man, if only, if only we could find a way to win an Olympic gold medal. Spends his summers trying to take up different sports that he could win.
Stugots
Right?
Mike Fuentes
I was just gonna say if, If. If that was your dream, why football? Like, you should have tried track. You should have tried basketball. You should have tried something else.
Billy Gill
Football pays you millions of dollars. That's why I' so does baseball.
Mike Fuentes
And you can win a gold medal.
Billy Gill
No, a lot of these.
Mike Fuentes
Soccer, you could win a gold medal.
Billy Gill
A lot of receivers and running backs are track stars, and then they give that up to go play football.
Stugots
Let me tell you this. Justin Jefferson is not a guy I would take on my flag football team. Great in the NFL, not great in the flag football.
Mikey A
Hold on a second.
Stugots
He runs too tall.
Mikey A
Wait, what? Hold on.
Stugots
Protect the flags, Billy.
Mikey A
So let's now construct your perfect flag football team.
Stugots
Okay? Mikey and I had this conversation. We did that on an earlier episode. Okay?
Mikey A
We're not going to do it anymore.
Stugots
No, but I am interested in your thoughts on this. Because I think a guy who's good in the NFL, Joe Burrow, great in the NFL, okay, is not the quarterback that any coach of a flag football team would choose. Because he's not fast. He runs upright. He's too tall. They would choose Kyler Murray. See what I'm saying? Totally different game.
Billy Gill
Geno just told me that there is no running for the Olympic for quarterbacks allowed in the Olympics.
Mikey A
What?
Billy Gill
There's no running for quarterbacks.
Mikey A
I don't like that.
Mike Fuentes
That's not flag football.
Stugots
That's not flag football.
Billy Gill
You gotta give France. You gotta give France a chance.
Mike Fuentes
No, you don't.
Mikey A
Ever. I mean, after seven Mississippi. No, you take off. What? If you're blitzed, you can. If you're blitzed, you can run, correct?
Billy Gill
My research department doesn't have that information.
Mikey A
Okay?
Stugots
It just dawned on me. It's gonna be a bunch of guys off the street in France taking an NFL player.
Billy Gill
You gotta give them a chance. I could just imagine a guy, a guy desperately running behind Jamar Chase, like, oh, my God, His. His family's watching, you know?
Mikey A
I know, I know. People are thinking like, wow, you Guys are being so myopic. You're just thinking that America is going to dominate. Let me tell you something right now, Jack.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
America is going to dominate flag football.
Stugots
We're going to win the gold, silver.
Mikey A
And bronze, I think. And I could be C team. I'm not exactly sure how this works, but I'm just going to plow ahead as though I know the rules and exactly how the Olympics work. I have a prediction. This is going to be the last year of flag football in the Olympics.
Billy Gill
It's going to go the way of breakdancing.
Mikey A
This is going to go out as jams. This is going to be a situation where judge Justin Jefferson's dream of winning a gold medal in the Olympics is going to come true. And it's going to be one of the most valuable medals in Olympic history because it will be the only year that they do it because they're quickly going to realize this was not a good idea.
Stugots
It's going to be one of 12.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Poor cornerback from Switzerland desperately trying to run behind Tyler.
Mikey A
Who do you have, coach? I have an idea of who I would want to coach. Who do you want to coach?
Stugots
Listen, Tariq Hale's winning a gold medal.
Billy Gill
It doesn't matter.
Mikey A
No, it doesn't. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.
Stugots
The coaching thing is interesting because if the coach is selecting the team, it's going to be interesting to see if that coach selects his quarterback or. Or, you know, like, let's say it's the Bengals coach, right. Zach Taylor. He's not going to take Burrow. He's going to take somebody else. I would assume they can't run now because Joe Burrow is not a good flag football quarterback.
Mikey A
Okay.
Stugots
Terrible. Who's your idea on the coach? I think it should be Braxton Barriers, but do you.
Billy Gill
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Okay. I'm happy he said that.
Mikey A
So you want. Not a coach coach. I don't think an area.
Billy Gill
Does an NFL franchise want. Want their guy taking up time in to go do flag football? I don't know if they do.
Mikey A
I mean, what, they voted it in.
Stugots
I mean, the owners voted.
Billy Gill
Voted it in, I guess, but I mean, they voted. I don't know how.
Mikey A
How regimented do you think these flag football practices are going to be? Like, how much time do you think seven guys around. That's kind of like the thing. It's going to be the thing where it's like. I don't think they're even going to have the plays it's going to be like when I played, you know, football in my cousin's backyard, and my uncle was just drawing arrows on my back. He's like, go this way, go this way.
Billy Gill
And then I can see Lamar Jackson drawing on the ball.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
The first time we play together will be the first game.
Mikey A
I mean, I imagine Belichick on the sideline livid that they keep changing out his plays.
Stugots
Is that your coach?
Mikey A
Jordan's there, and she's like, I'm the offensive coordinator. No one's listening to me.
Stugots
Right?
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
No, it's five on five. It's 12 guys on a roster, five on five, so. But you can't touch.
Mike Fuentes
The only one NFL player per team is allowed on the team.
Mikey A
What? Wait, what?
Mike Fuentes
Only one. Only one player per NFL team is allowed on the.
Mikey A
Oh, I understand.
Stugots
Sorry.
Mike Fuentes
I said that wrong. I said that.
Billy Gill
One Los Angeles Charger, one Kansas City Chiefs.
Mikey A
How many teams. How many teams are. Is the US Allowed to submit? Because, you know, when you go. When. Like in sprints, for example, or like, some of the field events, you can have, like, three different people from the same country. Or like ice skating, you can have, like, three different people competing, and they could sweep the metal stand.
Stugots
Right.
Mike Fuentes
All right, I have a question for you. If you allowed two teams from the United States, one of them was NFL players, one of them could not be NFL players, how would that second team fare?
Stugots
So am I choosing from all the other sports?
Mike Fuentes
No, they're all the other countries. So you've got an American team of NFL players. We all know they're going to win the gold, right?
Mikey A
Yeah, give it to them.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, now, if you have a player of amateurs, where do they. Where do they fall?
Mikey A
I don't understand this question.
Billy Gill
Yeah, it's. What he's saying is there's one play that's NFL guys. One team, NFL guys. The other team's like, college guys. Where do those guys finish? Are they silver medalists automatically?
Mike Fuentes
Are they silver medalists?
Stugots
The United States. Non NFL college.
Mike Fuentes
Non NFL players. Yes.
Stugots
Got it.
Billy Gill
They finished silver.
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
Are they. Are they in their prime like their current college players?
Mike Fuentes
Or we could call them.
Mikey A
Yeah, or like Tim, maybe one old guy who never.
Mike Fuentes
Who never made it because the coach didn't like him and then he had a knee injury.
Mikey A
Like jamarcus Russell decided, you know what? This is my redemption.
Stugots
I like that idea.
Billy Gill
Could be UFL guys.
Stugots
Yes, yes. NFL guys, football team.
Mikey A
The UFL team coaching.
Stugots
They exact their revenge.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Jamarcus Russell.
Mikey A
I. I kind of. I kind of want Mike McCarthy to be the coach and be the Olympic gold coach. To be honest with you, I just think it'll be funny.
Billy Gill
Shove it in Jerry Jones's face.
Mikey A
I think it'll be hilarious, honestly. He's not the ideal guy, but he's the guy that I want to have the job.
Stugots
Right. I'm trying to think it would be a great guy for. For the Jet. Wes Welker comes to mind. I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing there. Andy Reid will probably get it if he wants it, right?
Mikey A
Yeah, he's not going to want to do that.
Mike Fuentes
Sean McVeigh feels like who we want to make. That feels like who we want to show the rest of the world. Like, look at this guy that's. It's Sean McVeigh.
Stugots
And he doesn't take Stafford. I mean.
Mike Fuentes
No.
Stugots
Well, just because you wouldn't take Stafford and, you know, that's not the one guy he's going to designate because he doesn't want to get him hurt. He's going to take someone else's.
Mikey A
You know, who's going to, you know, give him golf. I know. I know.
Stugots
Party.
Mikey A
I know who's going to get the job. I know who's going to get the job because he always gets the job. Somehow, Cliff Kingsbury is going to be the head coach of that team. There's always another job. It's going to be Cliff Kingsbury.
Stugots
Yeah, he'd be good at it. That flag football, that's his sport.
Mikey A
He could be reunited with Kyler again. The guy's obsessed with Kyler Murray.
Stugots
I do like the idea of the coach choosing the opposing quarterback in his own division. Like, they're like their orange rival.
Mikey A
I kind of. I also kind of like the idea of you pick, like, all of your rivals, players, and it's like, well, this is just like the AFC South. Like, what's going on here?
Billy Gill
And then why are these guys so tired?
Mikey A
No, but not just tired, but they're, like, looking up the place. Like, dude, you're like. You guys are throwing up concussion balls. Like, I understand that. This is like flag football and there's no hits, but, like, you're putting me in terrible positions here. He's like, I don't know. I'm just drawing up the plays.
Stugots
I like the coach telling his quarterback, listen, new, you can run now.
Billy Gill
Run.
Stugots
Go ahead.
Billy Gill
Remember to lead with your head.
Stugots
And he tells the other team's defense, you can tackle.
Mikey A
So that was a headline.
Stugots
Oh, yeah. Great headline, Mikey. Do you Have a headline for us.
Mike Fuentes
Hey, here's a headline.
Stugots
All right.
Mike Fuentes
The Tush push is not going anywhere. The. The owners have voted to keep it. They just missed banning it by a two vote margin. They needed 24 votes to ban it. They got 22.
Mikey A
Wow.
Mike Fuentes
Tush push is staying.
Stugots
It lives on, Billy.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Yeah. Good for the Eagles.
Mikey A
I saw Dan Campbell voted to keep it around.
Stugots
Did he really? Yeah, I saw the jets voted to keep it around.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. They finally got a quarterback that can do it.
Stugots
Hey, hey.
Billy Gill
Tush.
Stugots
They can push.
Mike Fuentes
Yes. The only problem is they'll never be in short yardage situation because they're going to be terrible.
Stugots
Justin Fields would be a Hall of Fame flag football player. I mean. Yes.
Mikey A
You know what?
Mike Fuentes
Easily.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
I'm trying to think of who I would want on Team usa. Justin Fields is not a bad quarterback.
Mike Fuentes
No, he's not.
Billy Gill
If you can't.
Mike Fuentes
If Kyler Murray is probably. Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson are probably.
Billy Gill
No, but you. But if you can't run, you just need. I mean, you get Mahomes, right?
Stugots
If you can't run, you need someone to throw.
Mikey A
The thing is all. I mean they can all throw though. The thing is also this isn't like 20, 28. So you're also like projecting who's gonna still be, you know, three years older than now. Who do you want in there? Right? Do you want a three year older Kyler Murray?
Billy Gill
I'll take a three. I'll take a three year older, Patrick Mahomes. He'll be like 33 at the time.
Mike Fuentes
If you can't run, why aren't we throwing Tom Brady out there?
Mikey A
Wow. Oh, wow.
Billy Gill
He'll be almost 50 if we can't.
Mike Fuentes
If you can't run, you can't tackle.
Stugots
Brady's coming back.
Mikey A
Yeah. I mean, this is how he played.
Mike Fuentes
Brady's coming back.
Stugots
Oh my God. Yeah, he found him back.
Mikey A
There you go.
Billy Gill
He voted for it.
Stugots
What a great idea. I'm wondering now if former NFL players would win the gold over current NFL players. Like guys just out of retirement.
Mikey A
I'm going to say no. But Brady.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, Brady and desean Jackson.
Mikey A
Oh, wow. Wow.
Mike Fuentes
I mean, Billy Calvin Johnson.
Mikey A
Out of retirement.
Billy Gill
Johnson is only 31 years old or something like that.
Stugots
Yeah.
Billy Gill
He's still pretty young.
Stugots
Yes.
Billy Gill
Right.
Stugots
I mean, Barry Sanders is the prototypical flag football guy. Like you want him, right?
Billy Gill
A young Barry Sanders.
Mikey A
Yeah. Well, that's the thing too is how old is he? I think we're forgetting. Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
I love that the Tush push turned into this again.
Billy Gill
Yeah, we're right back.
Mikey A
Barry Sanders is 56. 6.
Stugots
You can still tote the rock though.
Billy Gill
Try your best.
Mikey A
Got a couple yards left, you know, retired early.
Stugots
Fuez. Do you have a headline?
Billy Gill
I do. George went known for playing Norm on Cheers. Passes away at 76.
Stugots
Wow.
Mikey A
One time for Norm somehow made this a sadder for a second.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, really? That's next week.
Billy Gill
I know. I had this headline in my mind and they were having so much fun and then I was hoping students wouldn't go to me. And then I'm looking at the time. It's only a minute left that I was going to.
Mikey A
A minute left? Yeah.
Billy Gill
I'm in the segment.
Mikey A
Do you have a headline?
Stugots
I have a headline, yeah. Joe Burrow said another game at the Ravens, a night game at Ravens is an ideal.
Mikey A
He's not wrong.
Stugots
Why did they get stuck with a lot of night games there?
Mikey A
I mean, not wrong.
Stugots
I know, but like, who cares? You're Joe Burrow. Go play football.
Mikey A
Mikey. Can I ask you something that I asked earlier this week? Scott, you weren't in the day that I asked it to and you're going to hate this question, especially you, Scott. You're going to hate this question. And I, I, I hate even asking it. Especially after we saw Joe, bro.
Mike Fuentes
No, you don't. You're smiling while you're asking. No, you don't hate it.
Mikey A
I hate asking this question, but how many more years is Joe Burrow gonna get a pass? One super bowl and then we haven't sniffed at it since. I think we have Trevor Lawrence territory. If you ask me.
Stugots
I think we have a new game. I hate asking this question, but I hate it.
Mikey A
It pained me to ask that. Oh, it hurt.
Stugots
One more year.
Mikey A
And we're back continuing our countdown of the top 50 comics of all time. Tony, it's your turn here at number 43. Who do you got?
Stugots
43.
Mikey A
I've got Sam Morrell.
Stugots
Wow.
Mikey A
Sam Morrell, number 43. You know what? I want to do something special for this one.
Billy Gill
Okay.
Mikey A
I want to raise a glass. I have one actually right here in my hand of ice cold Miller lite. Celebrating number 43 and celebrating number 50. 50 years. Cheers.
Mike Fuentes
Wow.
Mikey A
50 years of Miller Lite, the great tasting light beer that's been doing it right since 1975. A true classic. Still iconic, still holding it down. Five decades later, 50 years in, and it's still Miller Time. Brewed with simple ingredients, none of the fluff. We don't like real. No, we don't like fluff.
Stugots
No.
Mikey A
That's why Samuel's a 40. We like a real.
Stugots
We like.
Mikey A
We like the real stuff.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
We like it raw. We like the real flavor. Malted barley gives it that rich, balanced toffee note taste. And the iconic golden color that hits.
Billy Gill
So gold.
Mikey A
It's so gold. Gold medal. Wow. Number 43. How about number one?
Stugots
Wow.
Mikey A
That's what I'm saying. It just hits right every time. Legendary stories, legendary flavor. Miller Light. Great taste. 90s. Go to millerlight.com gbf to find delivery options near you.

Stugots
We're gonna get to blind rankings here. I'm very excited, Billy, but you can't ask a question with a smile and say you hate to ask this question, but.
Mikey A
What question did I ask with a smile? What is this pertaining to?
Stugots
Joe Burrow window. Like, how many years left on Burrow?
Mikey A
I had a smile.
Mike Fuentes
You definitely had a smile. Yeah.
Mikey A
Huh.
Mike Fuentes
We checked the videotape.
Mikey A
Thinking about it.
Stugots
Seems like you enjoyed asking.
Mikey A
No, I wouldn't. No. I honestly hated asking that question. I'll tell you why. Because he's gonna be like, the MVP this season, and then that's gonna come back and haunt me. So I hated it for that reason.
Stugots
He needs to win soon, though. He does. Like, the winning needs to start happening. And he's been to a Super Bowl. He needs to win one.
Mikey A
Blaming the defense or blaming everyone.
Stugots
They spent all the money on their offense.
Billy Gill
Currently on the Marino track? A little bit.
Mikey A
Wow.
Stugots
A little bit.
Mikey A
I didn't say that.
Billy Gill
A little bit.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Marino made his super bowl early and then never made it back there again. Burrow made a Super bowl early and hasn't been back since.
Mikey A
Well, I think he's. I, I Bold prediction. He's going back this year.
Stugots
Wow. Okay.
Billy Gill
Bold with a little.
Mike Fuentes
If he loses it, is it still a pass?
Mikey A
You gotta win it. You gotta win it. Okay.
Stugots
Who do you lose to in that Super Bowl?
Billy Gill
Matt Stafford and then Los Angeles Rams.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
I mean, can't go over two, man.
Mikey A
Let's think. Who could he. If we're projecting out who, who could he possibly go to? Who would be an acceptable quarterback for him to lose to in the Super Bowl?
Stugots
Jalen hurts.
Mikey A
I can't lose to.
Stugots
Jalen hurts with Jaden Daniels.
Billy Gill
No, you can't let Jaden Daniels.
Mike Fuentes
Jared Goff.
Mikey A
That's the thing. Jaden Daniels then leapfrogs you.
Stugots
Yeah, you can't lose to Jared Goff.
Billy Gill
Yeah, it can't be golf either. No.
Mikey A
Imagine losing to a golf and Stafford combo.
Stugots
Oh, boy.
Mikey A
No, no, no.
Stugots
Jordan, love, you can't lose.
Billy Gill
Lose to anybody who came into the league after you.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, I don't think Dak Prescott.
Stugots
You can't lose to Dak.
Billy Gill
Mike, be serious.
Mike Fuentes
I agree.
Mikey A
I mean, you can't lose. Literally can't lose to Dak because he won't be in that position. So that one's fine.
Billy Gill
D will not get.
Mikey A
Don't worry about that.
Stugots
I don't think there's a single quarterback in the. In the NFC that he can lose to where it's acceptable.
Mike Fuentes
Jaylen hurts. You could use. You could lose to Jaylen. Her. Been there a bunch of.
Mikey A
But then you have a conversation where it's like, oh, he passed you by. Is Joe Burrow for real? And I would hate to have that conversation.
Stugots
We know it would pain you.
Mikey A
It would. I'm still recovering from the last conversation I didn't want to have. It's just one of those things. I'm managing. I'm trying. Could he lose to Russell Wilson if the Giants go on a run?
Stugots
No, he cannot stop it.
Mikey A
It's super bowl champion, so that would be amazing.
Stugots
That would play Russell Wilson back into the hall of Fame and amongst the all time greats, by the way, that he beat Joe Burrow.
Mike Fuentes
I'm putting him on the Olympic team if that happens.
Stugots
If he.
Mikey A
If he wins a Super bowl with the Giants, I am willing to say he is the best quarterback of all time.
Stugots
But he has to beat Joe Burrow.
Mikey A
No, just if he wins a Super bowl with the Giants this year, he's the greatest.
Billy Gill
He can literally. He can literally beat anybody. Yeah, he can literally beat anybody.
Stugots
A lot on the line for Russ.
Mikey A
Wait, can. Can Burrow lose to Caleb Williams?
Stugots
Wow.
Billy Gill
No, no, no, no.
Stugots
No one in the. Well, I guess hurts. No.
Mikey A
Okay.
Mike Fuentes
Jalen hurts is the only one.
Mikey A
What about Baker?
Stugots
No, no, no.
Mike Fuentes
I love Baker, but no.
Mikey A
All right.
Stugots
Not Baker. Jalen hurts, I think.
Mikey A
All right?
Stugots
And that's about it. I'm not even certain Jalen hurts is. Is acceptable.
Mikey A
Okay, what about Kyler or Brock Purdy?
Stugots
No, no, no.
Mikey A
Brock Purdy got paid. Here's a headline. Brock Purdy got so much money. Brock Purdy. I was Doing the math. So he gets like $53 million a year. Last year he was making. I don't remember exactly what it was, but like somewhere in the neighborhood of like $800,000. We were always talking about how much he was making. I did the math, very simple math. And I'm sure it's more complicated than I did it. 66 times his salary is what he's going to be getting this year. So he is going to be making 60, 66 years salary on what he was making last year. I cannot.
Mike Fuentes
That's what I'm going to make after next week.
Mikey A
Imagine. Well, imagine you get one check that is 66 times your check the year before.
Stugots
I could just get you $66.
Mikey A
That's not too soon? Way, way, way too soon on this. Way too way close to home.
Stugots
Sorry.
Mikey A
Let's just move on to a different thing. You want to do blind ranking?
Stugots
No, sure, let's do it.
Mikey A
Still presented by smearing off the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.
Billy Gill
Okay, blind rankings time. This one was actually suggested by Stu Gotts. I don't remember if it was off camera or not, but he wants to rank backup quarterback.
Mike Fuentes
This is awesome.
Stugots
Billy, you were excited at the time. What happened?
Mike Fuentes
This is awesome.
Mikey A
What are the rules before we start?
Billy Gill
First of all, I once again prove that these 10 names are already selected.
Mikey A
Oh, I'm seeing them already selected. He has the pre selected names.
Billy Gill
Yes, pre selected names only. 10 names. Out of all the available backup quarterbacks, 43 available backup quarterbacks in the league. So here's the caveat. Since I don't know the backup of the Cleveland Browns, I included all of them, minus the Sean Watson. I included every New York Giants quarterback, minus Russell Wilson and I a couple of fan favorites in there. So we're gonna kick this off.
Mikey A
So it's just funny names? They're not funny. You just said legitimate quarterback. Some fan favorites means you just put in names that you like.
Stugots
Listen, backup quarterback is important. Your quarterback goes down, someone has to step in. Ask the Chiefs.
Billy Gill
Ask us. Ask Dolphin fans.
Mikey A
All right. Okay. One through ten.
Billy Gill
First guy off the list, Tampa Bay Buccaneer, Kyle Trask.
Mikey A
Oh, this is gonna be a rough game.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, this is gonna be hard.
Mikey A
Oh, it's a bad game.
Billy Gill
Once again, Kyle traska.
Mikey A
Bay Buccaneers 7, Kyle Trisk. There's so many bad quarterbacks.
Mike Fuentes
That's a bad backup. Quarter. I'm gonna go 8.
Stugots
I'm gonna go Kyle Tresk, 9.
Mikey A
I. I already have money.
Stugots
I regret that all Right.
Mikey A
If he's on the list, I have my number one.
Mike Fuentes
I wish I went nine.
Stugots
All right, nine for Trask.
Billy Gill
Second man off the list, Seattle Seahawks. Newly drafted. Is he new? Yeah. Jalen Milro.
Stugots
Melro.
Mikey A
Wow. I'm gonna put him at nine. I haven't seen anything from him. Right. Kyle Trask at 7 is gonna haunt me.
Stugots
Jalen Milro, Wow. I'm going to put. I think Melroe. I'm going to put Milroe at six.
Mikey A
Oh, okay.
Mike Fuentes
I'm going to put Milroe at nine.
Mikey A
Okay, good. Okay, but you're running out of spaces here, Mikey. At the bottom.
Stugots
Yes, you are.
Mike Fuentes
Yes, I'm well aware.
Stugots
Got to leave some spaces open, Mike.
Billy Gill
Third man off the list, Tennessee Titans. Will Levis.
Mikey A
Oh, my gosh. I. As a backup, he. That's my good backup. I may have him.
Mike Fuentes
That's a good backup. I'm going to go with my first four.
Stugots
He'd be the jet starter.
Mikey A
I put him at three. My finger's bleeding.
Stugots
You okay? What happened?
Mikey A
I don't know.
Billy Gill
Just.
Stugots
What do you mean?
Mikey A
It's just, bro, I'm getting old.
Stugots
That's not something that happens when you get older.
Mikey A
You just start bleeding.
Stugots
Oh, you don't start bleeding. Yeah, I think so.
Billy Gill
Bad arm.
Mike Fuentes
It happens.
Mikey A
Yeah. Bad arm days, right?
Stugots
I'm sweating.
Mike Fuentes
My bleeding is acting up on for some reason.
Stugots
Well, let us decide. It's so bad. I'm going to put. Man, that's a good backup. Holy.
Mikey A
It's such a bad sentence, though. It's a good backup.
Stugots
Well, that's a good backup. But such a starter goes to your backup, right? Such a bad starter. I'm gonna put him third. Will Levis is third for me, too.
Mikey A
Same.
Stugots
All right.
Mikey A
Twins.
Stugots
Samesies.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Next quarterback off the board, our first, Cleveland Brown. Kenny Pickett.
Mikey A
Ooh, eight.
Mike Fuentes
Eight, Three.
Mikey A
Three.
Stugots
You like Pickett?
Billy Gill
I see what Mikey's doing here, considering who may be coming.
Mikey A
3.
Mike Fuentes
Pickett.
Stugots
I'll put Kenny Pickett.
Mike Fuentes
Starter. Experience.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Won a Super Bowl.
Stugots
Sure.
Mike Fuentes
Can you pick it?
Stugots
Three. Yeah, I'll put him four.
Mikey A
You're thinking about the Pickett game last year, huh?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, I am.
Mikey A
Yeah. Eight for me, four for me.
Stugots
I love this game.
Billy Gill
Next up. Now, this one comes a little bit of controversy because I used ESPN's death chart.
Mikey A
I don't like for this.
Billy Gill
Okay.
Mikey A
Oh.
Billy Gill
So according to ESPN's death chart, this name is number two on his current team, which is the New Orleans Saints. It's Spencer Rattler.
Mikey A
I still don't think I Put that in.
Stugots
I put him at 10.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put Spencer at 6.
Mike Fuentes
I'm gonna agree with Billy. I'm gonna put Spencer Rattler at 6.
Stugots
I'm gonna put him at 7.
Mikey A
He's not gonna be starting for that team. Let's be real.
Billy Gill
They have Tyler right now.
Mikey A
They're gonna trade for Jameis.
Billy Gill
Number six.
Stugots
Are you breaking news right now?
Billy Gill
Six, man off the board. I think this is the best quarterback on this list. It's up to you guys. Mitchell Trubisky, Buffalo Bills.
Mikey A
I'm gonna put him.
Billy Gill
Best name set so far, I should say.
Mikey A
I was gonna say he may have just tipped his hand because he said, I think this is the best name.
Billy Gill
On this list so far is what I should said have said.
Mikey A
Yeah, but you didn't.
Billy Gill
Yeah, but.
Mikey A
So that's what I meant.
Stugots
Good point.
Mikey A
But you didn't say that. So what is to come? Because I'm gonna tell you, and I'm. I hope that there's a couple of.
Mike Fuentes
Names I still like.
Mikey A
I think Danny's a man.
Stugots
Yeah, but you don't know if they're on his list.
Mikey A
I think Danny's a man of integrity. So I'm gonna trust that Fuentes isn't going to change the list. I'm holding out number one for Jameis. I'm just going to tell you guys flat out, I'm holding out number one for James Winston.
Stugots
Now, it's a dangerous game you're playing right now.
Mikey A
I don't trust Mike Fuentes at all.
Stugots
That's why it's a dangerous game.
Mikey A
I don't believe that he randomized anything at all. I think he's lying. So I'm trying to figure out if. When he says that this is the best name on his list, is he being honest? Did he misspeak or is he trying to throw us off because he has, like, a great one at the end. Also, I forgot what quarterback he said, so I'm just stalling.
Billy Gill
Mitchell, Trubisky, number four.
Mike Fuentes
Give me Trubisky at two.
Stugots
Yeah, I'll put Mitchell at. I mean, I take Levis over Mitchell.
Mikey A
Oh, I'm running out of spaces here, man. You're killing me.
Stugots
I'll put Mitchell at two.
Mikey A
I. I don't.
Mike Fuentes
Four left.
Mikey A
Yeah, I know. And I don't like. I don't like what's coming.
Stugots
Yeah, all right, go ahead.
Mikey A
If it's a good one, it's gonna be.
Billy Gill
No, I'm waiting for Billy's.
Mikey A
I'm good. No, I said four. Yeah, okay. I put it to settle for four.
Billy Gill
Seventh man off the board, our second, Cleveland Brown, Shador Sanders.
Stugots
Wow. How many quarterbacks of the Browns have.
Mikey A
I'm putting Shador, too.
Stugots
Do they have a good one? You're putting Shador 2.
Mikey A
I only have 1, 2, 5, and 10 left.
Stugots
I'm gonna put Shador at 10.
Mikey A
10. Wow.
Stugots
Well, I'm sorry. I'm gonna put him at 8.
Mikey A
No, you can put them at 10.
Stugots
No, you're 10. Skit. Your 10 scared me.
Mikey A
Racist. What? Who said that?
Stugots
What? I'm putting Shador.
Billy Gill
Mel Kuiper would have heard you say 10.
Mikey A
I know. You want Mel to be back on the show?
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
I mean, we're trying to get on his boat, Stu.
Stugots
Guys, should we all put him number one?
Mikey A
I have a two. I have my two.
Billy Gill
Mikey.
Mike Fuentes
Seven.
Mikey A
Seven, seven. That's not bad.
Stugots
I have one five, 10 left.
Mike Fuentes
I have one five, 10, and left as well.
Mikey A
I have one five, 10 Left, too.
Stugots
Okay.
Mikey A
Wow, look at us.
Stugots
Wow.
Billy Gill
Number eight off the board, the Baltimore Ravens, Cooper Rush.
Mikey A
Five.
Stugots
You feel like there's a really bad name coming up, don't you?
Mikey A
I don't think there's a good name coming up. I'm. I'm.
Billy Gill
Are there any of these good names?
Mikey A
I mean, seriously, I'm horrified by. Gonna be my number one. Will Levis probably should have been number one.
Mike Fuentes
Cooper Rush, number one.
Mikey A
What?
Stugots
Really?
Mike Fuentes
Cooper Rush, number one.
Mikey A
He's. He's. He's betting on Fuentes doing a thing where he just gives bad names.
Mike Fuentes
I'm playing the man, not the cars.
Stugots
I think Fuentes has one good name left in him.
Mikey A
Well, last week we waited until the last.
Mike Fuentes
I'll be okay putting them at five.
Mikey A
That's why I'm telling you he hasn't randomized these names.
Stugots
Okay, I'm putting Cooper Rush at five. That leaves me with one in ten.
Mikey A
I have one in ten left.
Stugots
Okay.
Mikey A
As well.
Billy Gill
All or nothing for two guys. I love it. Okay, the ninth man off the board, San Francisco 49ers. Mac Jones.
Mikey A
One.
Mike Fuentes
Ten, ten.
Stugots
God, this name better be good for.
Mikey A
It's gonna be. It's gonna be freaking James. I'm gonna have a number 10.
Stugots
You're gonna be stuck with.
Billy Gill
Not James.
Mikey A
It's not James. It's gonna hit Carson Wentz.
Billy Gill
Watch the very last.
Mike Fuentes
Give me a.
Billy Gill
Coming off this list, we know him passionately as the Green Lizard, Taylor Heinecke.
Mikey A
Oh, wow. I'm fine with him at 10.
Mike Fuentes
I'm more than happy putting him at 5.
Stugots
I have him at 1. Where is he?
Mikey A
That's what I'm.
Stugots
This guy said he loves being a backup.
Billy Gill
He's a Los Angeles Charger.
Mike Fuentes
The Chargers.
Stugots
He doesn't want to play football.
Mikey A
The Chargers. He's not gonna.
Billy Gill
A little bit of Chase Daniels and everyone you know.
Mikey A
You want to know my list? Quick recap, real quick. I don't know that I hate my list.
Stugots
I hate mine.
Mikey A
Mac Jones, Shador, Levis, Trubisky, Rush, Rattler, Trask, Pickett, Milroe, Heinecke.
Stugots
You have Heinecke as the best backup in football?
Mikey A
No, it's the worst.
Stugots
Oh, he's your worst. Okay. I have Mac Jones is the worst. Taylor Heinecke. That's the best backup.
Billy Gill
That's not terrible.
Stugots
I don't think it is terrible.
Billy Gill
No, I don't think so.
Mikey A
Really?
Mike Fuentes
I got Cooper Rush as the best.
Stugots
Honestly, that's not terrible.
Mikey A
That is.
Mike Fuentes
I love it. I mean, didn't he go 4 and 1?
Stugots
Yes.
Mike Fuentes
He filled in for Dak for 5. Like.
Stugots
Yes.
Mike Fuentes
What do you want from your backup other than to win a couple of games?
Stugots
Win some games.
Mikey A
You'd rather have Kyle Trask than Mac Jones?
Billy Gill
I don't know. Because you know.
Mike Fuentes
No, but that's. That's how the game. But I think they're in the same tier.
Mikey A
They're all in.
Mike Fuentes
I think they're in the same area. Except I don't have anybody. I don't have anybody where I feel like they're vastly over or underrated as a backup.
Billy Gill
I feel like going back, looking back at the list, like Kyle Trask and Spencer Rattler in a Fist fight for 10. For me, Spencer Radler looked really bad.
Mikey A
Who's your one?
Billy Gill
My one out of all these either going to be Mitchell Trubisky. But I mean, I'm. I'm pretty high on Sanders, to be honest. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if Sanders is starting in Cleveland by like week seven, but.
Mike Fuentes
Well, that makes him a terrible backup.
Mikey A
Yeah, yeah, that's technically true.
Stugots
I have six of these 10 guys starting on the Jets.
Billy Gill
Oh, we should play. That's the next game.
Mikey A
Yeah. Which one? Who wouldn't you have on the Jets?
Mike Fuentes
We'll play that one in two weeks.
Stugots
I mean, will Levis would be our starter? I'm not certain. Kenny Pickett wouldn't be our starter.
Billy Gill
I got a feeling you would love Jalen Milros.
Stugots
Oh, I wanted Jalen Milroy.
Mikey A
He'd want Heinecke.
Stugots
Just cuz I wouldn't want Trask. I take Shador Sanders.
Mike Fuentes
I was holding out hope. For Tyrod Taylor at number one.
Stugots
But you want Cooper Rush over Justin Fields. No, I take Justin Fields, I guess.
Mike Fuentes
No way.
Mikey A
Mac Jones.
Billy Gill
No way, no way. I want Mac Jones.
Stugots
He's my number one.

Mikey A
Upon further review of the list. He did not randomize. Like, there's no doubt in my mind he randomized.
Stugots
You're really hung up on this.
Mikey A
Well, I just. He's a dirty rotten cheater. And that's fine. We're not gonna have to deal with him.
Billy Gill
Cheater for a game I'm not playing.
Mike Fuentes
You are playing, though.
Mikey A
You're running it exactly right.
Mike Fuentes
That's like you're playing it almost more than we are.
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
That's like saying you're playing us, Pat. And Sajak was not playing Wheel of Fortune, friend. He was a conductor of Wheel of Friends.
Billy Gill
Thanking me for giving you better content by not randomizing the names. If I was indeed randomizing, which I.
Mikey A
Am not, who said this is good content?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey A
I mean, if fans are playing at home, maybe they're having a good time. Maybe they are literally just hearing us give our top 10 rankings of random backup quarterbacks in the NFL.
Stugots
Yes. Based on whether or not you're going to be a bleep hole.
Billy Gill
I mean, pretty much two Cleveland Brown backups in the same spoiler.
Mike Fuentes
Yes.
Mikey A
His defense was. I couldn't have made it up. It's typed as though you can't just type any list in any order you want and print it out. That's unbelievable.
Stugots
It's typed.
Mikey A
It's tight.
Stugots
It's typed in stone.
Billy Gill
I literally can't change it.
Mikey A
Well, a couple weeks ago, he did change it.
Stugots
Are you breaking news now?
Mikey A
A couple weeks ago, he said saw handwriting and I knew that he changed something. Cheater.
Stugots
I think.
Billy Gill
I think I had messed one up and like, this guy was in the league or something. And then I was like, oh, let me just add one instead. I think that's when I got Mikey with Justin Fields.
Mikey A
Let me throw golden in there and say he's the number one receiver to really throw everybody off.
Billy Gill
Except that he is. But whatever.
Mikey A
He's not. Even by his own team's admission, he's not.
Mike Fuentes
His own team came out and said it.
Mikey A
Oh, my goodness. Yeah.
Billy Gill
You don't draft the number one receiver in the first round. Yeah, that's right.
Mikey A
You know how I know I'm getting old? Besides the fact that my fingers just start bleeding.
Stugots
That's the first sign right there.
Mikey A
It's twice today I've caught myself saying, oh, my goodness.
Billy Gill
That's true.
Stugots
Turning into Greg.
Mikey A
Two different times I've said, oh, my goodness. But I've been exasperated.
Stugots
Goodness gracious, my finger's bleeding.
Mikey A
Yeah. Hey, guys, want to do some more Mike Lee's?
Stugots
How old are you?
Mikey A
Me?
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
Biologically or biologically? Biologically, I'm 38.
Stugots
Okay.
Mikey A
In terms of, like, actual years. Yes. It's probably. It's not exactly dog years. I'd say maybe like three years every year. So like the 90? Something like 100, 106, something like that. Okay. I don't know.
Stugots
You thought about it.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
You and Stugarts are the same age.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
My fingers are pruning. What's going on? I haven't even been in water today.
Stugots
Oh, your fingers are pruning?
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
That's stage two.
Mikey A
That's. My goodness.
Stugots
Humid outside. Gracious.
Mike Fuentes
It's humid out. I'm bleeding.
Mikey A
Yeah, that's how. You know some people have an app. I don't need an app. If I start bleeding from my hands, I know it's a hot one. Scorcher. Anywho. More likely.
Stugots
Yeah, please.
Mikey A
It's weird they didn't want more of this show.
Mike Fuentes
Weird.
Stugots
What are we doing?
Mike Fuentes
I'm laughing at Billy. That's all I'm doing.
Stugots
Yes.
Mikey A
It's better than crying friends.
Stugots
And just the visual of him walking outside and blood starts pouring. Yeah.
Mikey A
You can feel the heat, you know, it's hot. Like. No, let me check my fingers. Yep. But there it is.
Stugots
You know, Check the thermometer. See, Billy's bleeding.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
On out.
Mike Fuentes
Anyway.
Stugots
More Mike Lease?
Mikey A
Sure.
Stugots
Oh, God.
Mike Fuentes
All right. Now that the tushbush has not been banned, who is more likely to have more rushing touchdowns next year? Jalen Hurts or Joe Mixon?
Stugots
Oh, wow, that's a good one. How many did Hertz have last year? 14. Mixing had like 12. I want to say 11. Who is more likely to have more rushing touchdowns? I'm gonna say Jalen Hurt. Oh, he has Saquon.
Billy Gill
Yeah, but I don't. I don't think that matters.
Mikey A
He still had more than mixing.
Stugots
Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna say. I'll say. I'll say.
Mike Fuentes
Keep in mind, this is a random question.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Right. I put it in a randomizer and I printed it out. Of course. Random question.
Stugots
Yes.
Billy Gill
Never again.
Stugots
Typed it in stone.
Mikey A
Just news wise, it works out.
Billy Gill
Last time I ever played blind rankings.
Mikey A
Yeah, it's probably true.
Mike Fuentes
Maybe.
Mikey A
Regardless.
Stugots
I said. I gave my answer. I said, jalen hurts.
Mikey A
I'm gonna go with Joe Mixon. I'm gonna go with Joe Mixon. Okay.
Billy Gill
There's no reason for me to think it'd be any different. I'm gonna say Jalen hurts.
Stugots
Oh, okay. All right.
Billy Gill
If that's what it was last year, why would it be different?
Stugots
I mean, Mixon was hurt though, right?
Billy Gill
I think he missed a couple games.
Stugots
He missed like four or five games.
Billy Gill
Was it that many games?
Stugots
And he was still pretty close to Jalen Hurts.
Billy Gill
Yeah. I don't know.
Stugots
Stroud doesn't run as much as they go to mixing. I'm saying when they're down, you know, but inside the five.
Billy Gill
By. By what you just said, I mean, he. I don't think he's gonna stay healthy again. I don't remember the last time he played a full season.
Mikey A
He played 14 games last season, so.
Stugots
He missed three games. All right.
Mikey A
11 touchdowns. Pro Bowler.
Billy Gill
How many catch? Oh, we said rushing specifically, right?
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
Russia. Yeah, yeah. If you want to throw in receiving. He had one receiving touchdown.
Stugots
I'm taking Jalen.
Mikey A
12 total.
Billy Gill
Jalen Hurts, I think.
Mikey A
Okay.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
All right.
Stugots
You got another one, Mike?
Mike Fuentes
I do. Who is more likely to be the top tight end in receiving yards as a rookie, Warren Loveland or Mason Taylor?
Stugots
Warren Loveland or Mason Taylor.
Mike Fuentes
You said those two names like you thought they were one person. It's Warren, comma Love.
Mikey A
Yeah. It's not Warren Taylor.
Mike Fuentes
It's not Warren Loveland. Tyler Warren.
Stugots
It's Tyler Warren Colston.
Mike Fuentes
Loveland.
Stugots
Colston Loveland. I think that's the way you presented it, to be honest.
Billy Gill
Can I get my answer?
Stugots
And what I'm acknowledging to you is I don't know who either of these people are.
Mikey A
Well, there's three.
Mike Fuentes
We got that.
Mikey A
There's three people, though. So that's part of the problem. Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
The guy who went to the Bears, the guy went to the Colts or the guy who went to the Jets?
Billy Gill
Well, the guy. The guy with the Bears.
Stugots
The guy who went to the jets.
Billy Gill
The. Loveland. Loveland has to compete with Cole Comet still, doesn't he? He's still a Bear.
Mike Fuentes
Yep.
Billy Gill
And then. And then Anthony. Anthony Richton trying to throw passes is funny to me.
Mikey A
It might be Mason. Yeah.
Billy Gill
Yeah, I think it's.
Mike Fuentes
It might be Mason Taylor is the number two receiver for the Jets.
Billy Gill
Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Taylor's the number two receiver. He's. Yeah, I think. And then Justin.
Stugots
Justin Fields has thrown him.
Billy Gill
He's not throwing it deep, though. I feel like it's a lot of like 8 to 12 yard balls there because. Love. There's a lot of weapons in Chicago.
Mikey A
And it's only one ball.
Mike Fuentes
I think what we've realized is, despite Stugas not knowing who these are, this is a fantastic question.
Mikey A
Warren Loveland might have a season, though, for who A wonderful season if they're combined. I would take WAR for the Bear Colts. I would take Warren Loveland over Mason Taylor for combining them.
Stugots
I'll take the jet.
Mikey A
So we all took Mason Taylor. Look at us.
Stugots
Yeah, that's same room. Sad.
Mikey A
Yeah. So I'll go. Tyler.
Billy Gill
Yeah. Tyrod Taylor, number one on my list.
Mike Fuentes
More likely to be the top statistical quarterback in passing, year one. Cam Ward or Tyler Shuck.
Mikey A
Passing yards.
Stugots
Say it again.
Mike Fuentes
Stop. Top statistical quarterback in year one in passing. Cam Ward or Tyler Shuck. It's passing, so you got to throw out the. The rushing stuff.
Stugots
Okay. Cam Ward. I think Cam Ward's gonna be great.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Throwing to.
Stugots
I don't care.
Billy Gill
Calvin Ridley.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Gotcha. Okay.
Mikey A
I'm gonna go with Cam Ward, too.
Billy Gill
Yeah. I think the Saints are going to be just awful. Unless Alvin Camara is catching a lot of two yard passes for 75 yards. I don't think that.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
They're gonna have much offense.
Stugots
Cam Warden. Will Levis, what a quarterback room. I mean, jeez, they went from the worst QB room in the league to maybe the best.
Mikey A
Not even close. But I see number three backup. That's fine. I see where you're trying.
Stugots
It could turn out to be the best, though, right? By now, Ward turns into a rare, you know, crazy talent like Lamar Jackson or Burrow. Then all of a sudden, you have the best quarterback room in football there, though. Yeah, but he's a good backup.
Billy Gill
Basically what he's saying is that Karen Ward will carry Will Levis's sorry ass.
Mikey A
Yeah. If he's acting.
Stugots
I'm saying Will Levis can give you a drive in the AFC Championship game to keep you in the game. Okay.
Mikey A
He can also lose it for you. Yeah. Very quickly. Cost you the game.
Billy Gill
There is no better memory I have in last year of that Screenshot where Will Levis has his hands on his own helmet, on his knees as like guys are running the opposite direction.
Mikey A
Yeah. But the funny thing is, is like Will Levis also is the dolphin killer who like the Dolphins just can't, like they cost him every season. Because it can't be Will.
Billy Gill
He didn't play that game. He got hurt in the first play. Right. That was the game. That game. That's the game. I remember. I bet Will Levis over on interceptions and he got interception on his third pass and then got hurt and then.
Mike Fuentes
He was out for the game.
Stugots
Wow.
Mikey A
Yeah, it was a good one. That is a good one. There is a bets.
Mike Fuentes
You very rarely see a coach dress down a player as. As much as the Titans coach did when they played the jets because he threw a pass from his knees. That was a fumble. And. And the coach very clearly says, what the are you doing?
Stugots
Wait, can you tell me the exact bet you made on Levis? I the audience, I need to hear this.
Mike Fuentes
Yes.
Billy Gill
It was Monday Night Football. I think it was week three when the Titans played the Dolphins.
Stugots
Right.
Billy Gill
And the Dolphins were terrible. I'm sure two was hurt already because I think he got hurt the game before or something.
Stugots
Right.
Billy Gill
And then Will Levis plays. It was a parlay I had in one leg of the parlay. Was Will Levis over half an interception.
Stugots
Okay.
Billy Gill
On the third pass of the game.
Stugots
Yes.
Billy Gill
Will Levis throws an interception, immediately gets hurt. That cashes.
Mikey A
Yeah, they took. He didn't come back out.
Mike Fuentes
I think that I got hurt on that listed.
Billy Gill
Yeah, he got hurt on that.
Mike Fuentes
I think you and I discussed it going into the week and you're like, you know what I love this week? Will Levis to throw an interception.
Stugots
If the bet was Will Levis over a half of. Of an interception, but he's only going to like three snaps, would you still take it?
Mikey A
I think yes.
Mike Fuentes
It cashed.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
I think it was a big board bets pick that. Oh, really? We were. And we were joking about it. We were saying like, oh, there he goes. He got it. And then like, I think we were in a group. We're like, he may not come back out. And we're like, nah, he's coming back now. What are you talking about? Then he didn't play the rest of the game.
Billy Gill
Danny just gave me his line from that game. September 30th, he was three for four, 25 yards, one interception.
Stugots
Okay.
Billy Gill
He threw four passes.
Mikey A
That four.
Stugots
Yeah, that four.
Mikey A
Three completions, though. I mean, 75 completion rate. That's a good game. It's a good game for old Willie.
Stugots
That's why he's a good backup.
Mike Fuentes
That's why he's the number four backup.
Mikey A
He's my number three.
Stugots
I think he's my number two.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
Number three for me.
Mikey A
Yeah. All right.
Stugots
Trubisky, number two.
Mikey A
Any more likelys?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, you want one more?
Stugots
Sure.
Mike Fuentes
More likely to be the worst team in the. The worst division in the nfc. The NFC south, or the NFC West.
Stugots
Best. I think the south has a chance to be good, actually.
Mikey A
Well, you have two teams, then. The Saints are going to be bad.
Billy Gill
A lot of. A lot.
Mikey A
Bucks are good. The Falcons could be good, and the Panthers could.
Stugots
That's what I'm saying. Panthers. I like the Panthers. Yeah.
Billy Gill
A lot of teams. A lot of teams in flux out west, too. We don't know anything about Seattle. We don't know anything about the 49ers.
Stugots
They like us.
Mikey A
Yeah. Miss him?
Stugots
He knew us.
Mikey A
Yeah, he knew you, but he also, I think, thought that you were someone else, perhaps. But he liked you at the moment.
Stugots
And I like him.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
I'm going to take the NFC West. I think the Niners are going to be dreadful. I don't think they're going to be very good.
Mike Fuentes
Sims might have something to say about that.
Stugots
I don't care what Sims has to say about that.
Mike Fuentes
Yes, you do.
Stugots
Okay.
Mike Fuentes
Yes, you do.
Stugots
I mean. I mean, he's soaked in bias when he talks about that team.
Mikey A
Here's the thing about the NFC West.
Mike Fuentes
They, too, when you call it bias.
Stugots
He's got the guy's tattoo on his thigh.
Mike Fuentes
One tattoo, and you call it bias.
Mikey A
Yeah. Think about the NFC west is they have the bird gang, and we all know I'm a proud member of the bird gang. So I don't know. Can one bird gang lift the entire flock? Because you also have Seahawks in there, right?
Stugots
Sam Darnold. Huh?
Mikey A
I mean, this may be an off year for the NFC North. No, it's not.
Stugots
I.
Mikey A
No, it's not.
Mike Fuentes
No, it's not. No, it's not.
Stugots
I mean, come on.
Mikey A
I'm gonna go with the NFC South.
Stugots
I like the south, man. I'm telling you. I'm gonna go NFC west here.
Billy Gill
I will also go NFC West.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
When we come back, breaking news.
Stugots
Yes.
Mike Fuentes
And here's a headline. Another headline.
Stugots
Wow.
Billy Gill
Bringing it back from the first second.
Mike Fuentes
How about that?
Mikey A
Amazing day Old news. This episode is brought to you by Chevy Silverado.
Billy Gill

Mikey A

The Chevy Silverado Trail Boss get the rugged capability of its Z71 suspension and 2 inch factory lift, plus impressive torque and towing capacity thanks to an available Duramax 3 liter turbo durability, diesel engine where other trucks call it quits. You'll just be getting started. Visit chevy.com to learn more.
Stugots
Billy?
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
This has never happened on our show before. What we did hears a headline in the first segment. We're done. We figure we've moved on with that game. We'll play it again next week. And then Mikey a going into last break, he says, we have another headline.
Mikey A
Wow.
Stugots
We've never played the game twice in a single episode.
Mikey A
Especially not a hearing sandwich. You know, start and end.
Stugots
Yeah. Wow. Headline sandwich.
Mikey A
Do you guys eat the ends of the bread? Like, if you buy a. Like a regular loaf of bread, what do you guys do at the ends?
Stugots
Like those.
Mike Fuentes
I never did until I became a dad. And then I felt like I had to.
Stugots
Why?
Mike Fuentes
Well, because I can't throw out two perfectly good slices of bread.
Mikey A
That's.
Stugots
But they're not perfect slices of bread.
Billy Gill
I had fiber, though, with the crust.
Mikey A
Can I say something? And I'll be. I'll be judged here probably as a bad parent.
Stugots
Right.
Mikey A
So I'm kind of like, with you guys, like, I don't. I don't think anyone eats the end of bread. You toss out the ends of bread. And then recently I was looking at it and my wife was like, oh, you know, can you make, you know, bread and butter toast some bread for the girls? And I tried to sneak in one of those ends to put butter on because I was like, they're kids. They don't know the difference. Like, why are we going to start bringing them up thinking they can't eat the end of breads? I can be the change I want to see in society here and teach them to eat the breads.
Mike Fuentes
Starting with the man in the mirror.
Mikey A
Yeah. And she said, no, they're not going to do that. And I was like, okay.
Stugots
Wow.
Mikey A
And I just threw it away. Yeah.
Stugots
You regret that or.
Mikey A
I mean, to Mikey's point, we throw away two perfectly good pieces of bread.
Stugots
But they're not perfect pieces of bread. It's why we throw them away.
Mikey A
Kids don't know the difference.
Mike Fuentes
Every other piece of bread, you want the crust all of a sudden because.
Stugots
Yeah, but this is all purple white bread.
Mikey A
You don't. But these kids also. Yeah. Like an end of an end of, like French bread. Delish.
Stugots
Yeah, but that's different. That's toasted French bread. It's delicious.
Mikey A
This is going to go in a toaster. This is going to be toasted, too. Plus, my kids will take two bites, they'll throw it on the floor, the dog will come jump up and eat it. Like, what difference does it make?
Stugots
All right?
Mikey A
Anyway, sorry, Headlines. Headlines.
Stugots
I mean, I throw mine away. I'm just. That's what I did.
Mikey A
Here's a headline.
Stugots
Yeah, sorry, I'm a bread waste.
Mikey A
Yes. Bread winner. Hey, that doesn't make any sense.
Stugots
Thank you.
Mikey A
Hey, here's a headline. Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Hard Knocks training camp this year.
Mikey A
Oh.
Mike Fuentes
Will feature the Buffalo Bills.
Mikey A
Wow. I like that.
Stugots
So do I. Josh Allen's a star.
Mike Fuentes
A lot of Josh Allen.
Mikey A
He is a star. He's a big time star, unfortunately.
Stugots
Yeah. He's got. By the way, you asked a question about Burrow before.
Mikey A
Don't you dare.
Billy Gill
What's the over under?
Stugots
I feel bad asking this question, but what's.
Mikey A
And you're not wrong.
Stugots
When's the window gonna close?
Mikey A
You're not wrong. Let's be real. We're never going to talk to him again. So what's the.
Mike Fuentes
Not on this show.
Billy Gill
Yeah. What's the question for you, Billy, your network? What's the over under on Hailee Steinfeld appearances in that series?
Mikey A
I would think at least two episodes, right? Minimal.
Billy Gill
No, two.
Mikey A
How many episodes is it? I think it's like six or seven. Four.
Mike Fuentes
No, it's usually five.
Billy Gill
Yeah, five. You're right.
Mikey A
You think she'll be in half of the episode?
Stugots
I think she'll be in one maybe.
Mikey A
I think that we'll just have like, we'll have the Josh day. We're like, oh, let's follow Josh and probably get her there. And then maybe like, like in the stand. But she's not gonna be playing.
Billy Gill
She will have a crowd shot.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Of her in the booth somewhere, even though he's there because he'll be doing the pads.
Stugots
Right.
Mikey A
That's what I'm. That's what I'm thinking is gonna happen is we're gonna get like a. She's there and we are sneakily taking video just to include her in it and put her in the credits. And then maybe if they're at his house, like a feature. But I don't think it's gonna be like. It's not gonna be a Jordan situation where it's like forcing herself in on the show.
Stugots
So you guys are saying within Hard Knocks, one of the days will be spent entirely on Josh Ellis.
Billy Gill
Every quarterback gets, like, a day where they follow.
Stugots
Does another player get a day, though? Like, demore Hamlin might get a day.
Billy Gill
Yeah, they fought. They always follow a couple guys around, but it's always a starting quarterback.
Mikey A
Yeah. There's going to be a demar day for sure.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
We're gonna. How about a replay the highlights of all his. For sure. Interceptions.
Mike Fuentes
You gotta have a coach day. Yeah, I have a coach day.
Stugots
You have to have one.
Mikey A
Yeah. Well, get it early because you may not be.
Billy Gill
They'll show demar Hamlin practicing. He'll be doing some, like, community service. They'll totally skip over how he's a total liability in the defensive impact.
Mikey A
Oh.
Billy Gill
And then stuff like that.
Mikey A
This is. This is a good place for them is the. The off season. Right. Because, like, this doesn't matter in season with the Bills. You don't want that. Bills can't do in season.
Stugots
No.
Mikey A
They have too much at stake to do an in season.
Stugots
Did you put the Bills coach on the hot seat? I mean.
Mikey A
Yeah, McDermott.
Stugots
Yeah.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Stugots
He's.
Mikey A
He lives in the hot seat. His home is his vacation home. His real home.
Mike Fuentes
His finger is bleeding.
Stugots
Yeah. It's been bleeding forever.
Mike Fuentes
His finger is bleeding. Yeah. Because it's so hot.
Mikey A
It's hot.
Stugots
He lives on the hot seat.
Mikey A
He lives there. His other home. Telling. His family lives in the vacation home.
Stugots
I think you're right. He's comfortable there on the hot seat. He'd be uncomfortable anywhere else. He doesn't. It's. It's foreign land to him.
Mikey A
He seems to thrive on the hot seat. Well, not thrive. Survive.
Stugots
He always bails himself out. I mean, he does just enough.
Mikey A
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Stugots
Just enough. But does it win the Lombardi?
Mikey A
No, no, no.
Mike Fuentes
James Franklin wants his job.
Mikey A
What's.
Stugots
He wants everyone's job.
Mikey A
What's the AFC Championship trophy called?
Stugots
Lamar Hunt, I think.
Mikey A
Is it. I think you're right. Yeah. I think the Bills honestly are in a territory where making the super bowl isn't enough.
Stugots
Oh, no.
Mikey A
They have to win it. They have to win it.
Stugots
Same with Cincinnati.
Mikey A
Like, just getting over the hump and making it to the super bowl is not going to be enough for the bill.
Stugots
Agreed. Both those quarterbacks.
Billy Gill
Josh. Josh Allen and the bill, specifically. Because to keep getting ran over by the Chiefs every year.
Mikey A
Yeah.
Billy Gill
Is tough.
Mikey A
But if you. If you finally get over Lamar Jackson and then you lose, that's.
Stugots
It's.
Mikey A
That's not a win.
Stugots
There are three quarterbacks who have to win a Super Bowl.
Mikey A
Yeah. And there's only one who's going to do it, right. Find out next.
Mike Fuentes
D Homes. Aaron Rodgers.
Mikey A
Tony, guess what?
Stugots
What?
Mikey A
Big celebration for me. For all of us. Okay. It's the 50th anniversary of Miller Light. You're kidding. Oh, I couldn't even make that up if I wanted. It's been 50 years already. 50 years. Wow.
