God Bless football. Billy Gil.
Mike Fuentes
Thank you, Mike Fuentes. Guys, fans, audience friends. Today's episode of God Bless Football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours. I think I need to work on the God Bless Football at the beginning because when I ask it or when I say it, it sounds like I'm asking a question. Like I'm kind of curious, like, does God bless football? Like, I don't know. So I think I need to work on that. This is a new segment that we call Notes, so I think I need to work on that. But also I don't really want to have like the same energy as Stugotz when he starts the show where he does the God Bless football because, like, if I'm going to be honest, it's kind of a little bit annoying. Right? So like, I've been thinking, can I have that energy?
Mikey
Can Billy Gill have that type of energy?
Mike Fuentes
Because can I just don't see it?
Mikey
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Can I summon like, I mean, God Bless Football. Yeah, see that's, that's.
Mikey
Yeah, see now that's, that's, that's not it. Yeah, see, because that's a mocking version.
Billy Gil
Yeah, Stu.
Mikey
But that's not.
Billy Gil
Yeah. The way Stu does it. It's like this long thing to get you going, but then you're doing it the way you're used to getting it from Stu. So you just do it really fast because Stu has already done the long part. So like you got to mimic Stu's cadence. So then Mike can give a fast one, I give a fast one and they're back to you.
Mike Fuentes
But I don't. If I'm Going to be honest, I don't like it. I don't like. I don't like the start like that. I just like to start like a regular thing, like the God bless football, you know what I mean? It's like, it's fine, but like, I don't know.
Mikey
So if we're doing notes here, which it looks like we are, it sounds to me like you shouldn't do it the way Stu does it, but you should do it differently than the way you are doing it.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, all right. Constructive criticism. I'll take it. So just, hey, don't do what Stots does because you're not capable of that. And also don't do what you're doing because it's terrible. So just be better all around.
Mikey
No one used the word terrible but you.
Mike Fuentes
But okay, it was implied, which is fine. Okay, here we are first week of March, and our training camp has begun. In terms of what we need to work on on this offseason, how we're going to make this show better. And it's really just eliminating me. It sounds like I'll just get out of the way and we'll have a. A much better show moving forward. So we have more Mike Lee's to get to later. I have a new game that I want to play at the end of this show, and I'll tell you the name of the game and see if you can figure out how this game works. The name of the game that we're going to be playing later in the show is who's the worst coach to be on a plane with. And I'm not going to give you the details of how that game is going to work later on. You guys can see if you can figure it out. And maybe you play a game at home yourself and, and see if you can guess exactly what that segment is. But that's not going to be this segment. Next segment is more likely. I already teased that. And on the TV side, we're going to be hearing from our friend Matthew Barry. We sat down with him at the super bowl, and to be honest with you, we talked very little football with Matthew Barry. We kind of got. We kind of got deep with him. We found out something about him that we didn't know. We found out a dream of his and just kind of sort of his finances, I guess, and what he's willing to pay for, certain things that he likes. But before we get to all of that, it's time for our favorite segment that we do every single week. This first segment of the Show. Say it with me, guys. Headlines, Headlines. Headlines.
Billy Gil
We do it every week.
Mike Fuentes
I guess we do it every week right around this time. It's called Headlines Brings us Headlines. Headlines.
Mikey
Somebody bring us headlines.
Mike Fuentes
Headlines is brought to us by Smirnoff. Presented by Smirnoff. I should say the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York, they actually didn't sponsor headlines. They sponsored another segment later on. But you know what? This week, Headlines brought to you by Smirnoff. Now that we're taking notes and we're talking this through, I have a new name for this segment that I want to run by you guys, and I promise we'll get to headlines in just a second. Fuentes, I think that you might like this name. Mikey, I'm not sure if you'll like this. Sorry, Mike. That's. That's my sake.
Mikey
Yeah, I'm Mikey, it's okay. I've accepted my fate.
Billy Gil
I'm like, what if we.
Mike Fuentes
What if we call this segment Headline Day and we give you all the headlines because Stugas during deadline day of basketball in the NFL. He'll do this whole deadline day thing. No. Okay, we'll move on. We won't do that. It's just going to be called Headlines then. Headlines presented by Spirit of the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. This is how it's going to work for those of you who are new to the program and haven't seen us play. Headlines every single week. I'm going to read you some headlines and then we're going to get some thoughts. Okay? Does that work for you guys?
Mikey
Let's do it.
Mike Fuentes
All right, first headline, Max Crosby has signed an extension. So that has now taken Max Crosby out of the trade talks and he will be returning to the Raiders next season. Guys, initial thoughts on Max Crosby and also, what does this do for Miles Garrett?
Mikey
Well, Max Cr. That's. It's a ridiculous contract. He's extension. He got three years, $106.5 million. Highest paid non quarterback in the NFL. At least for the week. Free agency starts next week and then we'll see. I mean, he is their entire defense and he's kind of their identity. But it doesn't really matter if you're not going to fix the Aiden O'Connell problem. I mean, what is, what is. What is Max having Max Crosby do for you? If you can't do anything offensively, are.
Mike Fuentes
The Raiders going to be good? Like, what is the timeline on the Raiders getting good, because we have, they now have locked in Max Crosby, which is good, right? Like, and they've given him a ton of money. It's good in the sense that, like, okay, this is our guy. We're not going to let him go. We're going to build around him. But also you're giving him a ton of money, which is taking away money that you could use to kind of better your team elsewhere. And to your point, like at the quarterback position, if you're giving him this money, are you planning on going younger at quarterback and not throwing a bajillion dollars at an established quarterback? Allah. Matthew Stafford, who, by the way, also headline number two, which I guess we'll get in here, Matthew Stafford staying put. He's not going to the jets, he's not going anywhere else, but also he's not going to the Raiders. So they still need a quarterback, which would have been a nice fit for the Raiders.
Billy Gil
Looking for a quarterback, Back to your thing now. Now that we're thinking about a three year Max Crosby deal, I think you, you just kind of pointed out they tipped their hand a little bit because they're. They're picking six. They'd have to trade up to get one of the top two quarterbacks in this draft. So do you think you're going to have enough to win something with Max Crosby plus unknown quarterback in the next three years, they have to be going for a veteran. I can't even name a receiver of theirs outside Jacoby Myers, I guess, Brock Bowers, but is that going to be good enough in the next three years to win anything? It just seems like kind of stick around Max, be our marketable player for the next few years. I don't know.
Mikey
I hate to point out the obvious here, but when we talk about an established veteran who's available, who, who are we talking about?
Billy Gil
Kirk Cousins, baby.
Mikey
Are we talking about, okay, Kirk Cousins, who was so awful last year that, that he got benched for Michael Penck? How about, how about Sam Darnold? Is that. Is that the established veteran we're talking about or are we going to do the obvious thing and connect the dots and bring Russell Wilson back to Pete Carroll and join them up in Vegas? And then you go, was Russell Wilson good or was like the Steelers defense and Mike Tomlinson finding a way to win ugly games? The reason that they were good, they.
Mike Fuentes
Just seem to be in a pretty bad spot in terms of quarterbacks. Right? Because I. We'd have to look at the cap, but like if you're giving Max Crosby this deal, you're not going to pay a quarterback 40 million, $50 million a year. So you're going to have to settle on a quarterback that's going to be okay, I guess, and then hope that you have a Sam Darnold year out of someone. But what weapons do the Raiders have? They don't have Justin Jefferson. Like, they don't have the same weapons as the Vikings. So Sam Darnold, even if you get actually Sam Darnold, not a Sam Darnold 2.0, which is a crazy sentence, but, like, if you get actual Sam Darnold, he won't be Sam Darnold in Las Vegas either.
Mikey
Let me ask you a question. Have the Raider. Are the Raiders. Are we spoiled with the way the quarterbacks have moved the last few years that the Raiders think it's going to happen again? Only this year it's not. Like in the past few years, we saw Aaron Rodgers move teams, we saw Tom Brady move teams, we saw Matt Stafford move teams, we saw Russell Wilson move teams twice. We've seen all these guys that you're like, oh, man, if we had that guy, we'd be good. And then I think it just kind of stopped this year. I don't think there's anybody coming this year that would make you go, all.
Mike Fuentes
Right, now we're over the hump, oddly enough. Stafford seemed like he was going to be that guy for someone. And the Giants thought that they were going to get Matthew Stafford and they were going to have their quarterback solution. And now the G plan seems to be, you know what? Aaron Rodgers sounds like Aaron Rodgers might work. We could try. We could try.
Mikey
Aaron, what's the pitch there? You don't have to move, you don't have to hire a moving company. Is that the pitch?
Mike Fuentes
I think the pitch to Aaron Rodgers is you don't have to move. And so, hey, you want to play football, right? Because this is it. You want to play football, you want to start. This is the only spot.
Billy Gil
So you mean you can't.
Mike Fuentes
You can't see.
Billy Gil
You can't see Aaron Rodgers in a little black and silver out there in Vegas. Devonte Adams goes back to his old house.
Mike Fuentes
So let me ask, I mean, the devonte Adams thing didn't really work last year, right?
Mikey
Devonte Adams was fantastic for the Jets. They were terrible.
Billy Gil
He had some games. Yeah, he had some games there with old Aaron.
Mike Fuentes
I. You see him going back to Las Vegas, like, I don't think that was like a happy ending there.
Mikey
I Don't think he really cares.
Billy Gil
New regime.
Mike Fuentes
Well, new regime.
Mikey
It's new everything.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, hold on a second. Because now in the segment that we like to call Headlines, I have another twist. I. First of all, I don't think that Tom Brady will bring Aaron Rodgers in to be his quarterback, if we're going to be honest. But, like, that's. That's a whole nother thing.
Mikey
But here's to bring in Tom Brady.
Billy Gil
This is the hall of Hypotheticals.
Mike Fuentes
Now, here's a twist. Here's a twist. And it's another headline. DJ Metcalf demands. DK Metcalf demands a trade. What if he goes to Las Vegas, Pete Carol's there, unites with Pete Carroll, then you have weapons. Then maybe you bring in an Aaron Rodgers and Devonte Adams. So you have Devonte Adams, DK Metcalf. Some call him DJ And Aaron Rodgers, Max Crosby is still there. I mean, now. Now we're cooking with gas.
Mikey
Is. Is. Does DK Metcalf move the needle? I mean, like, did he. Did he move the needle in Seattle? Like, it's essentially the same team. It's essentially the same thing.
Billy Gil
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
People love. How about this?
Billy Gil
People love that, though. They love, like, the reunion thing. They love it.
Mike Fuentes
I have an idea. Okay, so you don't get Aaron, but you get DK Metcalf. Pete Carroll's there, and you say what? You know what, Russ? One last ride. Reunite in Vegas. You reunite all of the Seahawks in Vegas. You call Richard Sherman and say, hey, Richard, what are you up to? You want to come over here, Richard Sherman over there, maybe see if Beast Mode has one last ride in him? One last, last ride.
Billy Gil
So you're saying is.
Mike Fuentes
And he was a Raider already, so it's double.
Billy Gil
One final.
Mike Fuentes
Even though. Even though I think Devonte.
Billy Gil
Yeah, one final boys trip in Vegas is what you're saying. The last boys trip.
Mike Fuentes
I think you do a boys trip in. You do a boys trip in Vegas and you say, you know what? And they have. They have a meeting and they say, you know what, guys, we're not going to be good, but we're going to have fun. Doesn't move the needle for anyone. Okay, maybe a few Seahawks fans out there like that. All right, that was headlines. We still have half our headlines because we just went off on a hypothetical about reuniting the Seahawks in Las Vegas next year. When we come back, we're going to play a game called More Likely.

Mike Fuentes
So, Mikey, we were supposed to play headlines last segment that was supposed to be the end of headlines, but we went off on a hypothetical situation. So I have a lightning round of headlines here where I'll just read you the headlines lines and then you can say, yeah, or like, no, I'll keep.
Mikey
It under five words.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Joey Bosa was released by the Chargers.
Mikey
Goodbye.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, T. Higgins has been franchise tag. He is now going to be making $26.2 million to be the Bengals number two receiver.
Mikey
What are they doing?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, I think if you look down here at the Dolphin situation where Waddle was one of the top 10 paid quarterbacks as a number two receiver and then Tyree Kill kind of, you know, fell off this year and you could say injuries, whatever. It was a recipe for disaster. And I feel like the Bengals are replicating this recipe for disaster. And unfortunately, if last year was any indication, second half of last season, the Bengals turned around and figured it out. But whatever they're doing is not working right now and Joe Burrow can't save them from them.
Mikey
And Jamar Chase wants a new contract and he deserves to be probably the highest paid, if not top two wide receiver in football. And now you're just going to go ahead and pay his number two 26 and a half million dollars. Yeah, you're just, you're like what are you, what are you doing? You just lost Sam Hubbard who retired unexpectedly out of nowhere. So your defense, which was the worst in the league or at least up there last year now just lost its lone piece that was worth a damn.
Mike Fuentes
We. We saw a similar situation also last year in San Francisco with Brandon. I you getting the deal, holding out. Eventually. Eventually getting the exact same deal that he was holding out against came back. He. He basically became their number one when they got rid of Debo this off season and, and Debo's numbers were down last year, so they trade him over to the Commanders. Iuk injuries did not have a great season. It also didn't work out. So it seems like. Seems like this trend of paying two wide receivers a ton of money has not really been working in teams favors. But hey, you know what, Maybe the Bengals are the ones smart enough to fix it. We'll see.
Mikey
By the way, like the wrong time for, for wide receivers to demand a trade considering how saturated the market is with wide receivers this free agency. I mean, Chris Godwin, Devonte Adams, Keenan Allen, Amari Cooper, Stefan Diggs, Hollywood Brown, Deandre Hopkins, Brandon Cooks, not to mention Cooper cup is available for trade. It's Debo Samuel's already been traded. Probably not the best time to be like pay me.
Mike Fuentes
You know what we didn't discuss in headlines? Saquon Barkley got paid, got paid. And he got paid. Two years after we entirely wrote off running backs getting paid ever again. One year after there was a plethora of running backs available, including our friend Austin Eckler, where it was like crazy, like all of a sudden every running back is switching teams. Derrick Henry is on a new team, Austin Eckler's on, and everyone's just moving back and forth. Saquon ends up switching teams. Now Saquon gets paid because of the year that he had. And it's going to be interesting to see if that kind of resets the running back market and maybe all of the running backs for free agents a year too soon. But also it's Saquon Barkley, so probably not. I think it will help other running backs slightly, but we're not going to see another 20 million dollar running back, I don't think in the near future.
Mikey
Quick question. Why? Why did the Eagles do that? Like you just signed him to a big deal dude. Why?
Mike Fuentes
Well, that was, that was.
Mikey
I don't get it.
Mike Fuentes
That was very much a Super bowl high, you know what I mean? Like oh my God, we did it. We couldn't do it before we got him. Oh, my God. He carried us. We won the super bowl because of him. Whatever he wants, just give it a. Like. And then like six months from now, it's gonna be like, wait, we did what? Like, we gave him what money?
Mikey
Howie Roseman, drunk on the. On the parade flow car. I'm gonna give you more money. You're just the best. I'm gonna give you some more money.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. His age is like, Howie, Howie, Howie. Right here, here, here.
Mikey
We signed this thing here side this.
Mike Fuentes
Real quick and like by. It's like 50 plus million for like two years, and it's like over 30 million guaranteed. And there's still incentives to make it more money. Like, yeah, what a deal for sake. I'm. You know what? I'm happy for Saquon.
Mikey
Good for him. I don't know.
Mike Fuentes
Great for him. He wasted the first portion of his career in New York. People didn't appreciate him for how good he was. He now goes to Philadelphia. Great offensive line. Now goes to Philadelphia. Almost breaks the record for regular season rushing yards. They end up sitting him the last game of the regular season. So he doesn't have the opportunity to break the record. But he was on pace to break the record, and now he's rewarded for being such a great team player. Sitting down, putting the team first. A little disappointing super bowl. Putting the team first. You know, helping them. Helping them throughout the playoffs. And. And now he's gotten paid. So good for him.
Mikey
What. What does he have to be next year to be worth that?
Mike Fuentes
Oh, dude, no. Massive disappointment.
Mikey
Like, that's the whole thing.
Mike Fuentes
Like, he's totally gotta be total disappointment. Like, I get. I give Eagles fans four weeks before they're like, boo, what are we doing? Go back to New York. We don't need you.
Billy Gil
You suck.
Mike Fuentes
Like, that is going right back in that direction. But, hey, good for him.
Mikey
Yeah, good for him. Get that money.
Mike Fuentes
You want to play a game of more Mikely?
Mikey
Sure. Hopefully Fuentes will join us on this one. I got one good one. Let's just. We'll leave it there. More likely to be an NFL bust. Abdul Carter or Travis Hunter.
Mike Fuentes
Ooh. Okay, so Abdul Carter, we found out last week, had the stretch stress fracture, but he didn't need surgery. Yeah, he didn't. He didn't need the surgery. Could still be the number one pick now. Okay. Travis Hunter, Heisman Trophy winner. I don't know why I'm giving you their resumes, but Travis Hunter, he. He's going to go high in the draft.
Mikey
Both Guys should be top five picks.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Both will be top five picks. Unless something crazy happens, both guys will be top five picks. If you're the number one pick, I feel like you are viewed as a bust more often than a number three or four pick. Right. Like, I think. But Travis Hunter's coming in, Heisman Trophy winner. He's saying that what he does is harder than what Shohei Otani does, which was a weird. A weird conversation. Yeah. Here is my. I'm going to go with. As I'm talking this out, I'm going to go with Travis Hunter. And it's not because I don't think the Travis Hunter is incredibly talented. It's not because I think the Travis Hunter is not worthy of being a top five pick in the NFL draft. Travis Hunter, though. And this is, like, strange for someone in my position to be saying Travis Hunter seems a bit small to me to be playing both sides of the ball in the NFL all the time. Like, I think that that's where the situation is, where bust is a possibility. Right. Where you're hoping. If you're hoping or if you talk yourself into. Travis Hunter is going to be in the NFL. What he was in college. I think that that's not as likely. And for that reason, he might be a bust. Right. And also, if he's drafted by a team that is going to be playing him on both sides of the ball all the time, that team is in trouble. Like, you can't. You can't have him in the NFL playing every single snap on offense and defense. And his size. I mean, obviously there's wide receivers that are his size. There's, you know, cornerbacks that are his size, but both sides of the ball, he's going to be getting hit a lot. Like, a lot. And getting hit in the NFL is much different than getting hit in the college. And I can tell you that from experience.
Mikey
Yes.
Mike Fuentes
Playing. Playing. Playing neither of those. But it. It just seems like he's got to bulk up a little bit, which is what you say about everyone. Right. Coming out of college, going to the NFL. He's got to bulk up a little bit. But I just think that it's going to be super. A lot harder to be playing both sides of the ball in the NFL than it was at Colorado.
Billy Gil
Yeah. I'm gonna also go with Billy on this. And it's just that it's a lot to demand from a kid that's coming out to play because it's. It's old saying, right? Like, when you're in college, you're going to be lining up against a guy who might be taking finance classes or installing aluminum siding after he graduates, where when you get to the NFL, you're playing against podcasts. Yeah, it's something like that. But you're playing against a guy who is all world every time even. He might not be the best receiver in the league, but he's definitely one of the best players in the world every single down. And like, and also, you know, like, to echo what Billy said, if you're drafting him to play both sides of the ball, your team is so severely down bad that there is, you know, it just shouldn't be happening. Carter, he's, you know, he's like a physical freak. And he is. His job is to get the quarterback where it's a lot more if you're doing both sides of the ball. So if you're drafting Travis Hunter, hoping he's going to be a both sides of the ball guy, you're already setting him up for failure. So I'm going to say Travis Hunter is more likely. Plus he has all the pressure of being, you know, a Heisman guy and this, like, media darling. So it's, it's. I'm gonna say definitely Travis Hunter.
Mikey
I, I would say Abdul Carter. You can line him up and say, go get the quarterback. Travis Hunter. I think a lot of it's going to depend on the coaching staff and how they want to use him. So I agree with you guys because I think Travis Hunter could be a bust. Not his fault, though. I think he could be misused.
Mike Fuentes
I also feel like, and we'll just do this real quick, it's very easy to forget about lineman, you know what I mean? Like, he could have a very serviceable career. Somewhat underwhelming, and you're just like, oh, like, and, and five years from like, oh, Abdul Carter was the number one pick. Like, okay, like, he's, he's fine. Where Travis Hunter, everyone's going to be watching for him on both sides of the ball or wherever it is that he's playing. So for him, I think unfortunately there's going to be more eyes on him and he's more likely to be described potentially as a bus than Abdul Carter, who people might just forget about. Oh, it's cold outside, but it's getting warmer. And you know what I'm going to do to keep cold in the warm heat? Enjoy a nice, cold Miller light winter weather. It's a great excuse to get your friends and family together. And now that it's going away. You're thinking, oh, going to have to push my friends and family apart.

I did a terrible job, admittedly, in the first segment of the show called Headlines, because we're now in the third segment of the show and we still haven't gotten through all the headlines that I had timed out for the first segment of the show, which was very poor. A very poor job by me. So final head. There's only one left, which is good news. There's only one left. Final headline. You know how we were raving last week about Bill Belichick and University of North Carolina getting hard knocks basically because the Giants ruined offseason Hard Knocks. And every team everywhere was like, you know what? I don't want to look. I don't want to look as bad as the Giants, and I don't. Poor stugats. His friend Joe Shane. I don't. I never want to be Joe Shane. I never want to have a situation where my teenage son is telling me, you know what you should do? You should. You should pick the best player. And then I'm like, maybe not though. Maybe not even though. Even though we can't actually get him, maybe let's not take the best player there.
Mikey
Being a GM is all about making very hard decisions. And when they don't work out, it makes you look so bad. And Joe Shane couldn't have made worse decisions last off season, at least by the optics of it. And why would anyone sign up for that, why would anyone be like, hey, why don't you film me when I take the most beloved guy on our team and tell him he's not worth the money?
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. I mean, which do you think was worth, the Jaden or the Saquon? It was Saquon. Right.
Mikey
Because Jaden was easily Saquon. Because they didn't have. They. They didn't.
Mike Fuentes
They couldn't get Jaden. Yeah, they wanted.
Mikey
Yeah, they called. They tried to. But, like, it made it sound like they didn't try very hard.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey
And you know, his whole thing, we're gonna. We're gonna rely on Daniel Jones. Like, it's gonna be Daniel Jones's year only to just like mid season trade. Cut him. They didn't even trade him. They cut him.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey
Like, everything, Every decision you made looked terrible. And we all got to see you make those decisions.
Mike Fuentes
Well, okay, so I didn't even finish the headline. So the headline was because of that, no team in the NFL wanted to do this. So you know who's coming in? Big Bill Belichick and the North Carolina Tar Heels. The flavor of the week. Now, we all want to be Tar Heels fans. We want Bill Belichick to succeed and all that. And then, you know, like a day later, it's like, you know what? Never mind. They're not doing it either because we couldn't reach a deal. So we're not even going to get Bill Belichick on Hard Knocks. So now Hard Knocks, which, by the way, if. If we're going to be honest, too much Hard Knocks. Like, too much Hard Knocks. Hard Knocks in training camp, I thought was fine. Regular Hard Knocks, perfectly fine. In season Hard Knocks there we started kind of like, I don't know about this situation. If your team was. Look, the Dolphins were on it like two years ago. I'm still telling myself, well, I have two episodes left. I'm going to get back. I'm going to finish it. I know exactly how that season ended. I don't need to get back to that. I don't need to watch the last two episodes. I know exactly how it's going to go. Didn't even finish it when it was my own team. The off season, where it's like, let's follow around the decision makers and just have cameras in their office while they're sitting there talking on the phone looking at spreadsheets like, I don't know about this.
Mikey
I. I couldn't disagree with you more. The.
Mike Fuentes
Really?
Mikey
Now I agree with you. On. In season, Hard Knocks in Season. Hard Knocks is the one that's got to go. That's the one that does absolutely nothing for me. I already know how this whole thing plays out. There's no immediacy to it. Whereas during training camp, you know, they play on during the week, and then the following Tuesday, you get to see leading up to that week. So it's like, okay, I'm in. And the off season one, because of how bad it went for the Giants is like, must watch to me. Like, to see how Joe Shane convinced himself to get rid of Saquon, only to then watch Saquon sign with Philly. That. That's poetry. That's. That's what I want to watch.
Mike Fuentes
I mean. Yeah, but you're watching for a train wreck. Like, you want it to be really bad.
Mikey
Yes. Yes.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. Well, I mean, so regular Hard Knocks is cool because regular Hard Knocks mostly, like, you're getting regular Hard Knocks.
Mikey
Yeah, Hard Knocks kicks the crap out of new regular hard.
Mike Fuentes
Well, because you're like, you follow stars. Ish. That you wouldn't have access to, but also, like, you're getting the stories of, like, the fringe players that are just fighting to make the team, and you're, like, rooting for these players, and then you have, like, an interest in these players. Like, oh, my God, I hope this guy makes it. And then also, like, sneaky, like Darren Waller on my fantasy team every year, like, well, for like two or three years, was on my fantasy team because of Hard Knocks. I'm like, you know what, what round is it? Like, 10th round here? Waller still there. Let's roll the dice on him. I like them on Hard Knocks.
Mikey
Yeah, but see, that's the problem. Old Hard Knocks, I mean, the name of the show was Hard Knocks because it was guys going to training camp, trying a fight for a roster spot. Then they, at some point around the jets and Dolphins years, they started transitioning from those fringe guys to the stars. And you know what? Training camp ain't that hard for the stars. They got. They. It's. It's not. I mean, listen, I'm sure it's still a grind, and I certainly couldn't do it, but it's not like trying to make the team. And I feel like lately Hard Knocks, by lately, I mean the last few years has taken to the last two weeks. Let's go focus on one or two of these fringe guys and that'll be it. But, like, they don't. Like, you used to follow him from, like, get up for his first day at training camp until he Gets cut or makes the team. Now it's like, ah, here's two episodes of Fringe, guys.
Mike Fuentes
Well, it's also, like, very formulaic, where every year we're just gonna see O's the Mentalist, visit, you know, training camp, and put a fish in a piece of, like, acrylic, whatever, you know what I mean? Like, how'd that happen? Oh. Oh. Oz has a prediction for the Super Bowl. Oh, my God, it's us. We're going to the Super Bowl. How did he do it? Look at us. We're gonna go. And none of those teams ever make it to the Super Bowl.
Mikey
Well, me, Cole Hardman was the guy who did it for the jets, and he was traded to the Chiefs and they beat the 49ers, so it kind of happened. Just wasn't the Jets.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. Yeah, I suppose. You know, the thing about In Season Hard Knocks, too, that's different, is in Season Hard Knocks, it's kind of like the off season one, but in Season Hard Knocks, like, I watched the games this week. I know exactly how this plays out. I don't really care about the storylines unless someone got in trouble or something crazy happened. I don't really need to know what happened Monday through, you know, Thursday in your facility. I don't care.
Mikey
Experiment next year, and I'm going to nominate Fuentes to do it. Watch none of the NFL games, Only watch Hard Knocks. Wow. So that. That's how you experience the game, Fuentes.
Mike Fuentes
Are you in on that?
Billy Gil
In Season Hard Knocks, we're talking about. Yeah.
Mikey
Yes.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Billy Gil
In season.
Mikey
Pick a random week, you pick a random week, you watch none of the NFL games, you don't catch the scores. You don't check your.
Billy Gil
So tough fantasy, though.
Mikey
DraftKings account.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey
No, and then you just watch Hard Knocks.
Mike Fuentes
You can make.
Mikey
You're on the edge of your seat.
Mike Fuentes
No, you can make fantasy moves, but based solely on Hard Knocks.
Billy Gil
I know, but it's just so tough to, like, not check fantasy scores. It would take a lot of willpower, but.
Mike Fuentes
No, no, no, Fantasy is fine. You could do fantasy.
Billy Gil
Well, no, but the fantasy app's going to tell you the score of the game. You're going to have at least a feeling. I could probably do it one week, but is it confirmed they're going to do it like they did this week, where it's all like a division?
Mikey
No, they haven't.
Mike Fuentes
That hasn't come out yet.
Billy Gil
Okay, well, let's. Let's postpone this. I'm down to do it, but it's only if it's like I get a full division recap, like how they did this year.
Mike Fuentes
No, that would make it good.
Billy Gil
Yeah. Because it's only one team. What am I. Well, I guess I can just excuse myself from one team. It's probably easier if it's not a division.
Mike Fuentes
No, you can't watch the NFL at all. You can only watch Hard Knocks.
Billy Gil
So don't do my job one week.
Mike Fuentes
No, no. For the season.
Mikey
No, your job is this.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah, your job. Your job is just experience the NFL through Hard Knocks for a season. That's it. It's very simple.
Billy Gil
But the end season doesn't even start until like deep into the. Into the season. Like.
Mike Fuentes
Right.
Billy Gil
Doesn't it, like come out?
Mikey
So that's when you.
Mike Fuentes
Exactly. Yeah. You get a couple weeks off, watch college football. You could be in on college if you want. You just can't watch the NFL for a year. You can only experience the NFL through hard. I wonder if there's a person that.
Billy Gil
Like, can we get Taylor to do this?
Mike Fuentes
Well, I was just gonna sit. No, he won't do it. He's always going to be telling us. He's always going to be telling us about, Dude. I keep bothering him like, so where's Matt gonna go next year? Where's Matt gonna go? He used to be Taylor who works with us, Mikey, for those who don't know. And. And Mikey used to be roommates with Mac Hollins. So he's on. He's on the Mac beat. And he has been assured that he will break the story as to where Mac is going this time because last time he had it and. And Mac told him hold off on that. And then it got scooped by like Rapaport or something and he was like upset and he's like, okay, you can put it out. He's like, it's too late. Yeah, Rapid Porter reported it.
Billy Gil
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
So when Mac all waiting with baited breath.
Billy Gil
Yeah, we really got to know where Matt Holland's gonna catch one and a half passes again.
Mike Fuentes
What are we doing here? Like, come on, we want to get Mac on the show. It'll be fun. And here you guys are poo pooing the situation. We don't need to make.
Mikey
I just said I'm very much looking forward to see where Mack Holland ends up next year.
Mike Fuentes
I can tell you where he's not. Probably the Bengals because they don't have any more money for receivers. They're out of that plum dry money for receivers in Cincinnati.
Mikey
By the way. Back to the Hard Knocks thing for A second the Bill Belichick deciding not to do Hard knocks, which I don't think you actually ever got to. That's the headline that he's actually not doing. It was this kind of Bill thinking that he was gonna do a big fu to the NFL because they wanted him to do hard knocks for years, and he refused to do it. And then he leaves the NFL and in his first college years, like, yeah, sure, I'll do it. And then maybe he was like, cooler heads. Cooler heads prevailed. He's like, you know what? No, I really don't want to do it. But it was funny to watch the NFL panic when I was going to do it.
Mike Fuentes
So we talked about this earlier than week, Mikey. And what I was telling people was, you know, what would have happened if it was offseason Hard knocks with North Carolina, and we're like, wow, North Carolina, Bill Belichick, blah, blah. What it would have been is it would have been us just watching Mike Lombardi the entire time in his office. You know, like, Belichick would maybe make a cameo, one or two episodes, but it's just Lombardi trying to construct the Carolina line of roster the entire time.
Mikey
Yeah, pretty much.
Mike Fuentes
When we come back, we play a brand new game called worst coach to be on a plane with.
Mikey
I have ideas.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, okay. I can't.
Mikey
I'm gonna zig. You can, Zach. I'm gonna zig.
Mike Fuentes
Okay.
Mikey
All right.
Mike Fuentes
We'll be back.

Mike Fuentes. You promised it earlier, so we have to get to it. Just because we promised it, and I don't. I feel like we were coming out of a good thing. We had some fun, and I have a fun game here that I want to play. It's called worst coach to be on a plane with. Okay? And this is how it works. We're gonna go around the room and we're each gonna say, the worst coach to be on a plane with. And you're wondering, why are we doing this? It's because I saw on the Internet, which will be a new segment that we play another week, I saw on the Internet a photo of Pete Carroll standing in the aisle of an airplane. And the person that took the photo of Pete Carroll said, pete Carroll has been standing in first class in the aisle of this airplane almost the entire flight. It was well over an hour that he was standing there, and he was just talking to other coaches while on the flight, and they were talking strategy and what they were going to be doing, which seems very unwise to be doing that out in the open publicly. The person then also said, I think the Raiders are going to trade for Geno Smith, which I don't know if that was real or not or if they were just adding that on there. But it was a photo of Pete Carroll standing in an aisle. I don't know, because it wasn't a video if he was standing an entire flight and if he was talking to coaches or not. But I saw it on the Internet, so I choose to believe that it is true. So that has now spawned this new game called worst coach to be on a plane with. Now, here's the question that I want to ask of you guys, even though I've created this game. Is this the worst coach to be on a plane with or the worst coach to be sitting next to? Because I feel like those are different things.
Mikey
The name I came up with will fit both categories.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, well, so we'll start with you. Who's the worst coach?
Mikey
So when we were discussing this, it was brought to my attention what you should do is you just pick the big guys because you don't want to sit next to the big guy, because then he's in your space and all that. But listen, I am a big guy. I'm going to be in your space, you're going to be in mine. We're just going to have a non verbal contract. When you sit down on the plane, this is what's happening.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey
So I'm going a different route. Nick Sirianni. Because I have a feeling that Nick Sirianni is the guy that's going to complain to the stewardess about everything. The guy that's going to lean his seat all the way back when you don't. When. When you're not supposed to. The guy when they say, turn off your phones is going to be like, why do I have to turn off my phone? You think my phone is going to interfere with the plane? He's just gonna be a jerk. So I'm gonna go, Nick Sirianni.
Mike Fuentes
So does Nick Sirianni strike you as the person, the only person that uses, like, the service button up top, calling the attendant over?
Mikey
He just yells. He doesn't even hit the button. He just goes, hey, hey, another one here.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, I can kind of see that. So is that your strategy, to pick, like, the smallest coach? Because then is Mike McDaniel a good person to sit next to on the plane? Because he seemingly is the opposite of pick the biggest coach. Like, let's pick the smallest coach, Mike McDaniel. Like, is he then a good option?
Mikey
Yeah, Mike McDaniel, sure. He looks like, you know, he's an interesting guy. We could have. We could have a little taxiing conversation. Oh, you headed home? Oh, you're. Oh, you're headed. Okay. And you can have that conversation. And then I feel like Mike McDaniel will put on his headphones and we won't talk the rest of the play the flight. And I'm okay with that.
Mike Fuentes
Okay. Fuentes, do you agree Mike McDaniel is a good option?
Billy Gil
Definitely. Because of his size. I'm a little worried that he might talk too much, because when you see some of his press conferences. A little bit of a rambler.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Billy Gil
And if anybody knows ramblers, especially on microphones, it's me. So it's. He. He might talk too much. But if you get him on a day where he kind of just wants to relax, then I'm on Mikey's side with this. He'll just throw on his super expensive headphones and listen to whatever.
Mikey
What's he watching?
Billy Gil
Oh, that's Entourage for sure.
Mike Fuentes
He'll. He'll. I feel like he Turns to you, and he's like, bro, they got Entourage.
Billy Gil
Listen, why. Why are we being so coy about this? In the break, we were talking about which coaches would most likely love to watch Entourage, and we all, you know.
Mike Fuentes
Well, it's because of him. It started with him. We were saying, the guy that's really excited to tell you this. Entourage on the flight.
Billy Gil
The movie, too. Not the show, just the movie.
Mike Fuentes
Oh, wow.
Mikey
No.
Billy Gil
Oh, there's a difference here.
Mike Fuentes
Okay, hold on.
Mikey
Wow. Hold on.
Mike Fuentes
This is. I like this because, you know, because he's a coach, so he's obviously not always, you know, up to date on what is the newest of things. Right. I can imagine a conversation now with Mike McDaniel where he turns to. He's like, dude, they got an entourage. And then he looks. He goes, episodes. Like, you know, this was a show. They made a show out of the movie. Like, yeah, Mike. Like, that was a show for, like, 10 years before they made it a movie.
Mikey
Yeah.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah. Also, Sirianni seems like an Entourage. Okay.
Billy Gil
We never got to. In the break. That was gonna be my pick. Sirianni looks like a guy who would absolutely love Entourage. Like, so to finish it in the.
Mikey
Break, what we said was, top five coaches that would love Entourage.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Mikey
And my. My throw in there was Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll loves Entourage. It's, like, the thing he does that.
Mike Fuentes
I think he was on Entourage. I'm sure he was on Entourage.
Billy Gil
He might have been when he was at us. If he was still at USC at the time, he might have been.
Mike Fuentes
I feel like Pete Carroll. If any coach was on Entourage, it was Pete Carroll. I also think, like, Nick Sirianni is the guy that tells you he hates ballers, because that's not how it works. Like, he says, like, that's. I like the idea. Not how it works. That's not how it works in the NFL.
Mikey
Pete Carroll got the contract from the Raiders and yelled victory. Like. Like Johnny Drama. Like, that happened.
Mike Fuentes
I could. I could see that. That. So back to worst coaches on the airplane. The thing with Mike McDaniel that might make him not a good option is I feel like he also always wants to be the funny guy. You know what I mean? Like, if he is, I could see him being the expensive headphones hoodie on keeping to himself. But, like, if he is interacting, he's the guy that. That wants to get the laughs, right?
Mikey
Yeah. If he heard me and you having a conversation across the aisle and one of us was let, he'd be like, no, I'm gonna go Ahead. And I'm gonna take this over. I'm gonna come over the top, and I'm gonna be a funny guy. Yeah, he's not this guy.
Billy Gil
He's the guy that strolls up casually, like, hey, what's so funny, guys? And then he's trying to, like, get an angle.
Mike Fuentes
He's like, diagonal neighbor that turns and talks to you, like, sideways, like this, the whole flight, like, he's like, yeah. You know what I mean? And, like, his wife is, like, tapping him on the arm like, leave him alone. Where you guys going? Hawaii. Oh, yeah, I can't wait. You know, they have pineapples there and it's like. Yeah.
Billy Gil
You ever been to Pukala beach also?
Mike Fuentes
Same place. We should meet up. Yeah, yeah.
Billy Gil
Maui's a great spot, man.
Mike Fuentes
Yeah.
Billy Gil
You ever been to the Onion Festival? It's great.
Mike Fuentes
You guys surfing when you're out there? Yeah. All right. Hang loose. Hello.
Billy Gil
A little hang loose.
Mike Fuentes
A little.
Billy Gil
A little hang loose.
Mikey
Yeah, absolutely.
Mike Fuentes
He's a hang loose guy for sure. So that'll do it for this week of God bless football. And if you think of coaches that would be terrible on the plane, or coaches that love Entourage or hate ballers, or who would talk to you, who's been to Hawaii, let us know. Just tweet at us on all of our socials, and that's it. All right. Bye, guys. See you next week.

Podcast Episode Summary: The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Episode: GBF- One Last Boys Trip to Vegas
Release Date: March 7, 2025
The episode kicks off with Mike Fuentes expressing his thoughts on the recurring segment "God Bless Football." At [01:25], Mike humorously critiques the phrase's delivery, stating, "I think I need to work on the God Bless Football at the beginning because when I say it, it sounds like I'm asking a question."
Mike introduces a new segment titled "Notes" at [01:24], but after some playful banter and constructive criticism from Mikey and Billy Gil, the focus shifts to the beloved weekly segment, Headlines, designed to discuss the latest sports news.
At [04:55], Mike announces, "Headlines is brought to us by Smirnoff," setting the stage for the discussions ahead.
At [06:09], Mike reads the first headline: "Max Crosby has signed an extension." The conversation delves into what this means for the Las Vegas Raiders, particularly concerning quarterback acquisitions. Mikey comments on the lavish nature of Crosby's contract at [06:30]:
Mikey Gil [06:30]: "It's a ridiculous contract. He got three years, $106.5 million. Highest paid non-quarterback in the NFL."
Mike raises concerns about the Raiders' financial flexibility, especially regarding the quarterback position, questioning whether they will opt for younger, cost-effective QBs or invest heavily in veterans like Matthew Stafford. At [07:06], he muses:
Mike Fuentes [07:06]: "Are you planning on going younger at quarterback and not throwing a bajillion dollars at an established quarterback?"
Mike introduces the next headline about Matthew Stafford remaining with his current team, not joining the Raiders. This sparks a debate on the Raiders' quarterback dilemma and the potential impact on their offensive strategy.
The discussion evolves into hypothetical trades, including the possibility of Pete Carroll and Aaron Rodgers collaborating in Las Vegas. At [12:02], Mike humorously speculates:
Mike Fuentes [12:02]: "We have weapons. Then maybe you bring in an Aaron Rodgers and Devonte Adams. So you have Devonte Adams, DK Metcalf, and Aaron Rodgers. Now we're cooking with gas."
Mikey and Billy Gil weigh in, expressing skepticism about the effectiveness of such trades and the realistic prospects of reuniting big-name players in Las Vegas.
At [12:03], Mike reads about DK Metcalf seeking a trade. The panel debates the significance of Metcalf's potential move and its impact on the Seahawks, ultimately questioning whether his presence alone would elevate the Raiders' performance.
Moving to [18:30], Mike discusses Saquon Barkley's lucrative contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Mikey and Billy critique the timing and rationale behind such deals, highlighting the uncertainties surrounding Barkley's future performance and the broader implications for the running back market.
Mikey sums it up at [20:05]:
Mikey Gil [20:05]: "Why did the Eagles do that? Like you just signed him to a big deal, dude. Why?"
As the Headlines segment wraps up, Mike touches on the missed opportunity of featuring Bill Belichick and the University of North Carolina in the Hard Knocks series. At [29:13], Mikey reflects:
Mikey Gil [29:13]: "Being a GM is all about making very hard decisions. And when they don't work out, it makes you look so bad."
Transitioning from Headlines, Mike introduces a game called More Likely to Be an NFL Bust, focusing on potential draft picks Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter. At [21:31], Mikey challenges the likelihood of Travis Hunter succeeding given his dual-role prospects in the NFL, while Billy supports this viewpoint by emphasizing the high expectations placed on top draft picks.
Throughout the episode, there are interspersed sponsor segments, including promotions for Gold Belly and DraftKings Sportsbook. These segments are brief and seamlessly integrated into the conversation, ensuring minimal disruption to the show's flow.
One of the highlights of the episode is the introduction of the game Worst Coach to Be on a Plane With. Inspired by a viral photo of Pete Carroll standing in an airplane aisle, Mike explains the premise at [39:14]:
Mike Fuentes [39:14]: "We're each gonna say the worst coach to be on a plane with."
Mikey nominates Nick Sirianni as the worst coach due to his hypothetical impatience and confrontational demeanor on flights. Billy suggests Mike McDaniel might not be the worst, given his laid-back nature and potential over-talking tendencies.
As the episode winds down, the hosts reflect on the day's discussions and invite listeners to engage via social media with their own nominations for the Worst Coach to Be on a Plane With. Mike closes with a lighthearted nod to sponsors, reiterating the importance of responsible enjoyment.
Mike Fuentes [47:49]: "And that was it for this week of God Bless Football. If you think of coaches that would be terrible on the plane... let us know. Just tweet at us on all of our socials, and that's it. All right. Bye, guys. See you next week."
This episode of The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz offers a blend of insightful sports analysis, engaging segments, and entertaining banter among hosts Mike Fuentes, Billy Gil, and Mikey. From dissecting high-stakes NFL contracts and team strategies to playful games about football coaches, the show provides listeners with a comprehensive and entertaining take on current sports topics.
