Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Dolphins vs. Ravens, Lamar Jackson’s Status, and the Impact of Gambling Lines

(02:20–04:17)

• The crew teases their upcoming live Dolphins watch party at a Miami block party, with plenty of expectations for a strong turnout and Halloween fun.
• Lamar Jackson’s Playing Status (03:23):
  Discussion centers on how injury reports and gambling lines are interrelated.
  • Dan (03:18): “The reason that they apologized for [injury miscommunication] is because... it’s because of the gambling line.”
  • The line fluctuation due to Jackson’s ambiguous availability leads to speculation and humor around NFL betting culture.
• Backup QBs are discussed, with Justin Herbert’s durability singled out as rare—nobody knows his backup (“Trey Lance. Woof.” 05:38).

2. The Fragility and Value of NFL Quarterbacks

(04:28–05:44)

• Dan ponders the frequency of QB injuries, despite rule changes meant to prevent them.
• The group marvels at Justin Herbert’s consistency and toughness, comparing him to Cam Newton and the current chaos with the Vikings and other teams.

(05:44–16:04)

Standout Submissions:

• Joel Embiid Post-Game Melancholy (06:09):

• Cam Newton vs. the Mascot (06:35):
  • Hilarity ensues recounting Newton’s legit anger after a mascot swipes his hat:
    • “He got an open hand slap to the face.” (06:55)
    • “He was legitimately angry. Look at it – it’s an iconic photo.” (07:10)
• UFC Eye-Poke Debacle (08:07):
  • Discussion of a UFC heavyweight fight ended by an accidental, knuckle-deep eye-poke: “Knuckle deep in the eyeball...” (08:35)
• Tua’s Pink Eye (09:08):
  • Wild theories and jokes about how Tua Tagovailoa got pink eye (spoofing “Knocked Up”):
    • “Somebody had left poop particles on his pillow. That’s how you get pink eye. You sleep on poop.” – Zaz (09:12)
    • “That’s not accurate.” – Dan (09:20)

Uniforms, Friendly Fire & Peanut Punches

• Steelers’ Uniforms Look “like bottles of mustard” – Greg (09:49), triggered by merchandising gimmickry, yearns for authenticity.

• Giants’ Friendly Fire—The NFL’s Biggest Issue?

  • Zaz points out that players are causing concussions by mistiming “peanut punch” attempts:
    • “The Giant punched the other Giant. Concussion, concussion, friendly fire. Ever heard of it?” (12:01)
  • Extended riff on the absurdity and risks of punching at the ball.

• Jalen Brown’s Hair Dye Disaster (14:04):

  • Dan: “That little smudge on the white jersey of the New York Knick player—that’s Jaylen Brown’s hair. Yeah. He showed up with a brand new look. Beijing in that hair, and it rubs off on a defender.” (14:26)

• Joe Flacco’s 15-yard Run & Yamamoto’s Complete Games (14:46–15:20):

4. Justin Fields, Woody Johnson & The Jets’ Unlikely Win

(17:58–22:26)

• Fields snaps a historic losing streak, but Dan underscores his lack of wins when the opponent scores more than 21 points:
  • “That’s the first time that he has won a game when an opponent scores 21 points, he’s on a roll.” (17:58)
• Woody Johnson’s Public Critique of His Quarterback (20:16–21:11):
  • Owner’s comments were so egregious they were labeled “inside noise,” not “outside noise.”
  • Cut directly to Justin Fields’ postgame (20:36):
    • “I get that he’s the owner of the team, but...outside noise. The biggest thing was my teammates believing in me and my coaches still believing in me.”
• The chaos and drama surrounding the Jets, with a nod to fantasy football tips (Matthew Berry), and how close games are decided by wild, sometimes baffling plays (see: Breece Hall passing the ball from the goal line).

5. Young Quarterbacks, NFL Playoff Forecasts & Drake May Hype

(21:41–26:49)

• Dan projects a scenario in which the playoffs feature Patrick Mahomes versus a slate of QBs none are betting against Mahomes:
  • “It’s going to be Bo Nix, Daniel Jones, Drake May...The Colts are good, but everyone would assume Daniel Jones will turn into Daniel Jones.” (21:41)
• Drake May Worship:
  • “He threw for almost 300 yards and his top receiver was Mack Hollins.” – Zaz (23:44)

6. The Miles Garrett Quandary: Loyalty, Trades & the Futility of Being an NFL Star in Cleveland

(27:50–36:51; 37:03–38:53)

• Dan & Mike Ryan spar over whether Miles Garrett should have forced a trade out of Cleveland:
  • “He’s going to waste his career there. He’s the best pass rusher there’s ever been...he chose to take that money and not be serious about that holdout.” – Dan (29:08, 29:15)
  • “I just can’t believe that we’re all like, well, this one’s on you.” – Mike Ryan (29:54)
  • “You get a choice. Die in that town.” – Dan (29:56)
• Group goes back and forth over accountability and what it means for a star to chase a ring, stick it out, or “sell out.”

• The segment devolves into the full-on accusation: “You know what you did, Mike!” with everyone badgering Mike to own his stance.

7. The Sad Irony: Greatness Wasted in Bad Franchises

(34:32–36:51)

8. Bathroom Humor and Sideline Anecdotes

(38:00–40:30)

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Cuervo.

[Chris Cote]

What are you doing here?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up.

[Chris Cote]

Well, I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think you could lay out, especially for one of our great partners.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Chris Cote]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Cuervo.

[Chris Cote]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Show Announcer]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stu Guts podcast.

[Chris Cote]

Hey, we're throwing a Miller Lite watch party for Thursday night football. Dolphins v. Ravens at Flanagans and Kendall. That is my neighborhood flannies. Kendall Drive and and Southwest 127th, right there by Kendall Soccer park. Join us Thursday night for a Halloween block party. Costumes encouraged. Dan will make sure of it. Come hang with the crew. Dan. Chris Roy, Tony, Jeremy Amin, Juju Dave Damoshek, who will not shut up about Nate McLouth and more. Party starts at 6, kickoff at 8:15pm and don't miss Flanagan's fifteen hundred dollar costume contest. It's Miller time.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Looking forward to this on Thursday. It's a block party we throw Good parties. And I assume Lamar Jackson is going to be playing. He's going to play in this.

[Chris Cote]

I mean, I don't know like they are. They apologize for how they approach this injury thing. Lamar always strange around Lamar Jackson injuries, even when he's not protecting a future contract. But they do have a Pro Bowler on their center sill.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

The reason that they apologized for it is because. You guys do understand it's because of the gambling line, right?

[Chris Cote]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

It started at. The Ravens were favored by six and a half because Lamar was playing, and then it dips to two because Tyler Hundley, who's good there, but not here, is. Goes down to whatever it was, two points and now it's back up. The Ravens are favored by a touchdown coming to Miami. So I assume Lamar Jackson is playing. Like that's the only reason they would be favored by. They're not going to be favored in the game if Lamar Jackson doesn't play. They wouldn't be favored, would they?

[Greg Cote]

I don't think after. After the Dolphins had an impressive win Sunday, I don't think they would have been favored.

[Tony]

I mean, they just beat a good Chicago team and Snoop Huntley looked really, really good in that system. So, like, I don't think. Why would not. Why wouldn't they be, guys?

[Dan Le Batard]

The Falcons lost by 30 to the Panthers. No, like, they're not a very good team. That win from the Dolphins doesn't exactly prove much.

[Stu Guts]

Ravens would have been favored by like two or three, I think.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

You think the. The Ravens with their backup quarterback would be favored here against the Dolphins when the Ravens defense has been just as bad as the Dolphins trust the Ravens.

[Greg Cote]

No, I don't. I. I don't. I mean, I, you know, I can't say. And, and it's moot because I do think Lamar Jackson's going to start against the Dolphins on. On Thursday night. A lot of people thought he was going to play this week. It was a little bit of a surprise that he didn't. He's been out a while now. I mean, come on. What do you got? A hammy. Let's go.

[Tony]

Yeah, it's exactly what he has.

[Show Announcer]

He does.

[Tony]

He's got two, actually.

[Ira]

Literally.

[Greg Cote]

I mean, come on, Lamar.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is this a Lobos issue?

[Stu Guts]

No, he's not.

[Greg Cote]

He's a really eldron. He's a Lobos hall of Famer, as you all know. But we didn't get him this year. Damn it.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

One of the things that I'm always interested in in professional football is how these teams break throughout the Season how the quarterbacks break. Even though we're doing everything possible to protect the quarterback, every week in college and pro sports, some sort of game has a deciding element on a roughing the passer. That's never been a roughing the passer before the last couple of years where you're just not allowed to hit the quarterback anymore. And yet still they keep getting hurt. The Minnesota Vikings, the wheels have fallen off because they're trying to get Carson Wentz his body parts to function just long enough to get them back to their starting quarterback. It's one of the reasons that, that Justin Herbert is actually so valuable. He doesn't miss games. Like he's so sturdy. He gets hit a ton. Gets hit a ton. And just how many games is he? Who's San Diego, who's Los Angeles?

[Chris Cote]

He's battled through injuries.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Who's the Chargers backup quarterback? Anyone? Cuz I learned no one. I learned. I. No, I'm asking, does anyone know who the backup quarterback is? They don't. They don't even have one. I don't know who it is.

[Dan Le Batard]

Trey Lance.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Woof, woof.

[Greg Cote]

Wow.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Yeah.

[Chris Cote]

Keep. Keep Justin Herbert standing up, please.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Put it on the poll, please. At lebatard show. Did you know that Trey Lance was Justin Herbert's backup quarterback? Let's do funniest thing from the sports weekend.

[Show Announcer]

Hey, people, tell us what in sport made you laugh hardest this weekend. It is a segment we call what made you laugh this weekend.

[Greg Cote]

Ha ha ha.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right, guys. Joel Embiid playing for the Sixers this year. Their team has actually played better when he's not on the floor, which is kind of a rarity for the 76ers during his tenure. So when a reporter brought it up to him post game, hey, you know, what do you think about the fact that these guys are playing better without you? He said, it's been 12 years. I'll take it. It's incredible.

[Chris Cote]

Defeated.

[Dan Le Batard]

Just absolutely defeated. Finally. 20 minute. God, like, what is that?

[Chris Cote]

20 minutes? This was a really funny sports weekend. It's tough, but I don't want people to forget what happened on Friday on First Take with Cam Noon getting legitimately pissed at an Alabama A and M bulldog mascot that dared to take his hat. It's all fun and games. We're, you know, we're doing hip checks and we're running.

[Stu Guts]

Oh, he hit his hat off.

[Chris Cote]

He took the hat off. He got an open hand slap to the face.

[Stu Guts]

And then right about, he's like.

[Chris Cote]

And he's telling him, don't play with me, a real legitimate shove cocks back and pulls back almost.

[Stu Guts]

The still shot is the best.

[Chris Cote]

Dude, he was legitimately angry. Look at it is an iconic photo.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Do you guys. You guys should get for the end of this segment, the video of when those seven guys tried to attack Cam Newton at once. Cam Newton is not to be trifled with under any circumstances. I saw he's bigger than the mascot I saw yesterday. He's bigger than most human beings. I saw yesterday that Josh Allen scored his 69th touchdown. And they said second all time for quarterbacks. And I thought for a second, who's first? Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. The guy who was bigger than everybody on the goal line, Cam Newton actually aged prematurely because of how they used him physically. Again, I will say amazing that Justin Herbert is always available. Cam Newton's bigger than, than Justin Herbert.

[Dan Le Batard]

I stood next to Cam Newton on a sideline recently. It was like standing behind Shaq.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

He's. Yeah, he's inordinately large and he was pissed there.

[Tony]

Speaking of open hand slaps, Dano Ciryl gone full hands, both eyes into the the title. Heavyweight title champion of the world right there. Tom Aspinall Cirogne had two three stooges. Bam. Right in the eyes. And as you can see the. The reactions of me, Louis and Robert Tico we had there in the center, we were all not happy with how that ended. It was a choppy.

[Stu Guts]

You gotta block that with the hand.

[Chris Cote]

It's one of the mixed martial arts three stooges.

[Tony]

When you don't see it coming, you can't. You can't throw it up because he went to go punch and then as he punched, the fingers went into the eyes. He said it went knuckle deep. And it's actually so the one. So if you're looking on, on this, on the screen right now, the one to the right that looks worse, that looks like his knuckle is actually his eyeball is not the one that they called. It was the one to the left, which is the one that actually got hurt, which is why he stopped the fight. So again, to the right, knuckle deep in the eyeball, to the left, not knuckle deep, but that's the eye that got hurt.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

What a disappointing way for a marquee fight to end. You're telling me in no contest, Dan.

[Stu Guts]

Speaking of eyes, Tua's eye. What the hell happened there?

[Ira]

That's my funny guy. Somebody had left poop particles on his pillow. That's how you get pink eye. You sleep on poop.

[Tony]

What do you know about pink eye?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

That's not accurate.

[Ira]

That is how you get poop particles.

[Greg Cote]

Dr. Zaz, over here.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

That's not an.

[Ira]

That is. Look it up. That's how you get pink eye there.

[Stu Guts]

Look at this, though. How is his vision not affected?

[Greg Cote]

The antibiotics, they work like magic.

[Stu Guts]

Cheek is swollen.

[Ira]

Look at me. You can barely see poop particles. Yeah, yeah, that's how you get pink eye.

[Tony]

Fart on somebody's pillow.

[Show Announcer]

That's what it is.

[Chris Cote]

You never watch knocked up.

[Ira]

You don't know about that. You don't know about that. Pink eye.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Greg, what was the funniest thing from the sports weekend?

[Greg Cote]

I got to get back to the Steelers uniforms. They played at the former Heinz Field. They look like bottles of mustard. It's so ridiculous. I kept saying to my wife, the. These sealers look like the packers because that's the Steelers uniform, is the packers shade, is the packers color of yellow. It's just ridiculous. Now what teams are doing with uniforms just for the sake of merchandising and gimmickry. Throwbacks. Come on. Throw up is more like it. Get back to your uniforms. I want to see the Steelers look like the Steelers. I want to see, um, look like, um. Not like a battalion.

[Chris Cote]

What year?

[Dan Le Batard]

Now you're with me, Greg.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

What year. What year was the uniform that they were using here? Because that feels like a 1950s type of Steelers uniform before the one we came to know.

[Chris Cote]

We've seen them wear that look once before at. Well, originally, that was supposed to be their look, but in the 75th anniversary of the NFL, during the 90s, they. They rocked that look.

[Greg Cote]

I bet it's earlier than the 50s. I bet it's like late 30s. I mean, that. That's ancient. That. That uniform style, especially the design in the front, the stripes and everything, it looked like something that they were wearing when. When the coaches were wearing fedoras on the sideline.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

When the helmets were turtle shells.

[Greg Cote]

When the helmets were turtle shells. That's exactly right. Well put.

[Ira]

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye. While it is commonly a myth, pink eye cannot be caused by poop particles.

[Chris Cote]

Knocked up lie doors.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wow.

[Show Announcer]

Shout out.

[Chris Cote]

Shout out, by the way, to the Green Bay packers equipment manager that realized, we got to go all white. We can't do this to the people.

[Ira]

Shout out to poop particles, too.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

What's the funniest thing from the sports weekend? You get your Facts wrong. You send shout out to poo particles. That's not useful.

[Ira]

Long overdue. Funniest thing from the Sports Weekend. Greg, I've been talking about this all season long. This is. I dare you to tell me this is not the biggest story in the NFL this year. Yeah, that's right. Players punching each other.

[Tony]

Oh, my God.

[Ira]

During the game. It's not so funny anymore, is it, Tony?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Ira]

Laughing at me.

[Greg Cote]

What?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

You see what happens Sports Weekend for.

[Ira]

You see what happened with the New York Giant?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Yeah.

[Ira]

It's funny how stupid it is. It's funny how everybody doesn't see it except for me. That's why it's funny. The New York Giants were playing the Eagles, and two players, they didn't try to tackle the guy with the ball. They tried to punch the ball out. You know what happened? The Eagle ball carrier, he was slippery and he got through. And what happened? The Giant punched the other giant. Concussion, concussion, friendly fire. Ever heard of it?

[Chris Cote]

Friendly fire.

[Ira]

Happens all the time. Punching each other.

[Dan Le Batard]

What the troop says he punched.

[Ira]

Punch them out. There is no way. This is not going to be outlawed after this season. You can't have players punching each other. If you want to punch the football, fine. But if you miss, you can't punch a player. It's. It's going to be a penalty.

[Stu Guts]

You're not playing the game. Right. This is funniest thing from the Sports Weekend.

[Ira]

I'm playing positive funny.

[Stu Guts]

Like this made me laugh.

[Ira]

It's funny how much smarter I am than everybody else.

[Chris Cote]

Chicken shit.

[Tony]

Chicken shit.

[Dan Le Batard]

Poop particles.

[Ira]

Funny.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I sent Zaslow the video of that when I saw it because I believe this has been undercovered. This particular play was undercovered. Devontae Smith catches the ball and one Giant tries to punch the ball and misses. But the other Giant is also trying to punch the ball and hits the first Giant in the head. In a way that led to the concussion protocol. And it was just the way that you would hit somebody square in the face. He just hit his teammate square in the helmet, and I didn't think that would cause a concussion, but he hit him so hard it caused a concussion miss.

[Ira]

How about Kyron Williams? Also, he got punched in the head and he fumbled on the goal line earlier this year. You think this is football?

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes.

[Ira]

You'll know ball.

[Tony]

What?

[Show Announcer]

Yes.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Right.

[Show Announcer]

I said it.

[Tony]

No, you don't know ball.

[Ira]

It's been a long time somebody has said, I don't know.

[Stu Guts]

Ever heard of Peanut?

[Tony]

Peanut Tillman. Do you know Peanut?

[Ira]

Yeah. And you know what? Peanut Tillman, he perfected. Punched the ball.

[Tony]

I know these guys punched the ball too.

[Ira]

Punched him in the head.

[Tony]

Friendly fire. Happens every play.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

The peanut punch. I'm surprised none of you selected Jalen Brown's hair. I thought for sure that somebody was going to select.

[Chris Cote]

It was tough. Yes. Can we show that? Is this your submission?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

How is this not your submission? I've got a different submission. I've got. I've got three that I was choosing from. And this was my second place finisher. My second place finisher is Jalen Brown's hair.

[Chris Cote]

I mean, since we threw up the image. That little smudge on the white jersey of the New York Knick player. That's Jaylen Brown's hair. Yeah. He showed up with a brand new look. Beijing in that hair. And it rubs off on a defender.

[Stu Guts]

Oh, okay, now I get it. The white jersey is that anomaly Grecian formula.

[Chris Cote]

It's an all time moment in my sporting life, given my obsession.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Oh, my God, it's so good. It is great. That was my second place finisher. My third place finisher was on third and 13 watching Joe Flacco run for a first down, run 15 yards for a first down. But my number one, my winner was Derek Jeter saying after game one of the World Series that Yamamoto threw a complete game. The last time he pitched quote. Yamamoto threw a complete game. He's not going to throw one tomorrow night. He's not. End quote. And then Yamamoto throws another complete game.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yamamoto. That's a fine. Also, it happened again the next game against the Pistons for Jaylen Brown. So it wasn't just against Anunobi, it was the next game as well. He's got, he's got to change something with his hair. Mike, this is, this has got to change. You can't, you can't keep letting this happen. If you're going to play against a team with white uniforms, you cannot continue to do this.

[Chris Cote]

This is actually a great thing that he's doing. If it's strategic, like just, I'll put an elbow in you, I'll put a shoulder in you. I'll put my Beijing in you.

[Greg Cote]

That should be a technical foul. When you rub your own hair on somebody else and it comes off on their uniform, it's just unbecoming. You can't have that in the NBA. It's their biggest scandal of the week. Forget the gambling. You don't want somebody else's hair smudge on your uniform. Ridiculum.

[Stu Guts]

Another Oli Justin Fields with one of the worst jump passes I've ever seen in NFL history.

Don LeBatard the Judge Coach Sweetie Stugatz.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I should go say hello.

[Show Announcer]

This is the Don lebatar Show with the Stugats.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Let's talk about a couple of things from that game because Justin fields is now one in 26 when the opponent scores 21 points. That's the first time that he has won a game. When an opponent scores 21 points, he's on a roll. Joe Flacco put up 38 against the worst offense in the league and lost the worst coaching staff in the league got 14 points in the fourth quarter or 15 points in the fourth quarter by correctly going for two the first time. And Justin Fields had an amazing play to get the two point conversion. But the jets finally winning a football game, going on the road, beating Cincinnati, hurting Cincinnati because Cincinnati was just trying to get the season to Joe Burrow. And this is a crippling loss to watch the jets who were in total chaos. The owner. No other team in the sport had the owner ripping its quarterback this season saying he couldn't complete a pass. I thought to Tyrod Taylor would have started if he had been healthy. I thought Justin Fields would have lost that job and would have lost it forever, because Tyrod Taylor probably would have done similar things against that Bengals run defense. By the way, Matthew Berry continues to give away money around here. He told you to take both those running backs against the Bengals Bengals defense. And both those running backs went crazy against the Bengals defense, and they scored. The jets scored 39 points in that game and one. Even though you go ahead and give me all the other teams that have won games with Breeze hall or a running back throwing the ball at the end from the goal line, like, that.

[Tony]

Was a bad throw.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

An asinine call in that situation. Like, just truly asinine to have that. To have Breece Hall. You're running the ball all game well, and you decide to have Breece hall throw into coverage at the goal line like they. They converted it. But what a crushing loss for Cincinnati. The only close game yesterday.

[Tony]

It was one of those things of like, no, no, no, no, no.

[Greg Cote]

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

[Tony]

Because he rolls out, right?

[Chris Cote]

You're gonna.

[Tony]

You realize, oh, my God, he's gonna throw this ball. But then he's not. And then he kind of tucks it again, but then he kind of brings it up against. Stops and throws it over the ball to Mason Taylor. The defender didn't even see him. Mason Taylor caught the touchdown.

[Ira]

Mason Taylor first touchdown.

[Tony]

But it was like, oh, my God, that was a terrible call.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Let's play. Justin Fields talking about Woody Johnson, the rare sports owner that has two names that refer to penis. Woody Johnson is a clown. He's a professional clown. And what he did by speaking the other day made things worse for his team somehow. His own seven team. Here's Justin Fields talking about it after the game.

[Justin Fields]

Yeah, like I said, I mean, that's. That's outside, outside noise. At the end of the day, I get that he's the owner of the team, but, you know, that's outside noise. The biggest thing was my teammates believing in me, and my coach is still believing in me. And, you know, wow. Thank you, Josh.

[Greg Cote]

God, that's actually inside noise.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah.

[Greg Cote]

Couldn't be more inside, outside noise, but if I were Aaron Glenn, I would have thanked Woody Johnson for lighting a fire under Justin.

[Stu Guts]

Ah, the fire lit.

[Ira]

How quick you were able to hear the background, the PR guy. All right, thank you, Justin. Immediately, when we're re. When we' talking about my favorite thing, I think you.

[Stu Guts]

Justin, last question.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Let's play it again. So we love doing that. We've had a number of times over the years where the PR guy saying, okay, let's wrap this up is right there as soon as the Woody Johnson question appears.

[Justin Fields]

Yeah, like I said, I mean that's, that's outside, outside noise. At the end of the day I get that he's the owner of the team, but you know, outside noise. The biggest thing was my teammates believing in me and my coaches still believing in me. And you know, thank you, Josh. God. So.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Drake May yesterday was getting MVP chance in New England and I think what's going to end up happening here, Kansas City plays tonight and what's going to end up happening is we're going to get to the playoffs and Mahomes is going to play against a whole bunch of quarterbacks that everyone is going to expect him to beat. It's going to be Bo Nix, it's going to be Daniel Jones, it's going to be Drake May who might not be ready quite yet. The Colts are good, but the Chiefs, if I made that a playoff game tomorrow, everyone who's listening to this would assume that Daniel Jones will turn into Daniel Jones. Look, Tony, I understand I've been the.

[Tony]

Biggest bandwagon guy for the Colts this year. Daniel Jones has unlocked something in his brain. I don't know what it is. That also Jonathan Taylor probably offensive player but like that team plays well offensively, defensively we thought Shane Steicher was an idiot.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

In fact really good coach, that that team is very good team of destiny or say and they make it look very easy because the thing that Daniel Jones keeps doing is he's converting all these 20 yard passes where his guys are just wide open because he's just making the right play. And you have to respect all things Jonathan Taylor because he's, he's really exceptional. But I want to talk about Drake May for a second because he doesn't have the benefit that Sam Darnold has in Smith and Jigba in explosive plays. He doesn't have that kind of wide receiver and he's throwing the ball deep better than any quarterback in the league. So he's very close to ready. But the reason that Kansas City is going to be assumed by everyone listening to this to be able to get past all those other teams in the playoffs is because you don't respect the Herberts and the Bo Nixes and the Daniel Jones is enough to think that they're going to be able to beat Mahomes. Like that's what's going to happen.

[Ira]

In terms of perception, it is kind of crazy. I mean, Drake May's top receiver yesterday was Matt Collins. He threw for almost 300 yards and his top receiver was Matt Collins. Like, like you two had a good day yesterday, right? Yeah. Threw over 202 yards. Drake made through for 282.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

It's not just that though. Zaz I, he's the third best running quarterback in the league. Like I, I think I'd put him right after like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. I think I would put him third.

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean you have Herbert, you have Jalen Hurts as well, but his ability to scramble is ridiculous. Chris I, I have a, a really good Drake Maestat.

[Show Announcer]

Start of the day, start of the day it is your start of the day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day.

[Dan Le Batard]

Per NFL Plus, Drake May joins an elite club with 200 passing yards and a 100 plus passer rating in seven consecutive games within a season at any age. He joins Aaron Rodgers who did it in 2011 and 2020, Tom Brady in 2007, Peyton Manning in 2004 and Patrick Mahomes in 2018. That's it.

[Ira]

So Caleb Williams is the third best quarterback in that draft, right?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Drake May's gonna be great for 10 years if he doesn't get hurt. Like that part is obvious. He doesn't. They haven't even started building in the draft around him in a way that gets him that team.

[Ira]

He has no weapons.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

That team. I wouldn't say they don't have any weapons, but they don't have the kind of weapons that usually are associated with the passing stats that he's putting up. He's throwing the ball down the field. You guys were just talking about conservative, right? And you've heard me say before as it relates to quarterback measurements that aren't empirical, do I fear you on 3rd and 10? Do I fear that you're going to make 3rd and 10 irrelevant? Mahomes at his best, 3rd and 10 didn't matter. You were always thinking, oh, you almost felt. There was a funny thing that happened with the Chiefs at their best where getting them in third and 10, you didn't feel like you necessarily succeeded on the first two plays because it so hard to stop them on third down as well. Drake May down the field is doing things you shouldn't be able to do with those skill guys. Like it's not. The Colts are very good. They're not in third and long very often, but they're very good on third and long. And you fear them on third long. There aren't many teams you can say this of right now. Nevermind Josh Allen in previous incarnation. This Bill's offense is not the same on third and ten as the last couple of years of third and ten Bills offense. The. The idea that the Patriots now have an offense. They didn't even play well in the first half of that game. He didn't play that well because Myles Garrett had five sacks in that game.

[Chris Cote]

It's going to be fun twice a year watching Drake may evolve, develop trying to wrangle that division from Josh Allen.

[Dan Le Batard]

K' Sean Booty to your point, Dan, that weapon over the last three weeks. 25 yard touchdown, 29 yard touchdown, 39 yard touchdown and 39 yard touchdown. Like these huge plays coming from Jake May.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Great throws.

[Dan Le Batard]

Great throws.

[Tony]

I was gonna say that's the thing of a. A quarterback that can kind of lift all the tie that lifts all the boats. He's a guy that's looking around and said, Stefan Diggs is kind of washed. Kayshawn Booty, Mack Hollins. Austin Hooper's catching touchdowns. The ghost of Hunter Henry's out there catching touchdowns like they don't really have anybody. And that's why I asked Diana Racine last week, hey, can they go out and get somebody in the market that's an alpha number one wide receiver? Like what can that. What could that look like? And she's like, that'd be really cool if they got A.J. brown, but it's not gonna happen.

[Show Announcer]

Don LeBatard.

[Greg Cote]

I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public.

[Show Announcer]

Stugats don't do it. This is the Don Levatar show with the Stugats.

[Chris Cote]

Dan, I'm happy you touched on Miles Garrett to someone rescue this individual. I know he's making a lot of money. Oh, no, I'm not.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I'm not gonna let you do this. I was telling you that he should have demanded the trade.

[Ira]

He doesn't get to do. No, he doesn't get to do that.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

And stick to it. Not make it a bluff. That is for just money.

[Ira]

He doesn't get to do that.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Chris Cote]

You so word. So he's trapped.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Yeah. Wait a minute. No.

[Chris Cote]

You don't feel bad? Someone rescue the man. Mike, you know what his reaction to Michael Parsons being moved To Green Bay was like, wow, He. He did it. It's so hard to do it.

[Ira]

They would have traded Miles Garrett except that he couldn't say no to the Godfather offer. The same way that Deshaun Watson didn't want to be there, and he couldn't say no to the godfather offer. Like, that's Cleveland's move. Oh, you don't want to play here? Well, what if we give you all the money? Okay, fine. I'll take it. Like, Miles Garrett wasn't serious about wanting to le winning.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

No.

[Ira]

They offered in the money. It's like, so now you got to eat it.

[Chris Cote]

You got to eat it now. This is so strange.

[Stu Guts]

He had a nice restaurant.

[Chris Cote]

So strange. Like, okay, let's see where we're at this season. Let's rally around. We drafted two young quarterbacks. We got Joe Flacco. We made the playoffs with him. Myles Garrett's not going to think, yeah, we're going to suck this year. I can't believe that you were all against that. You're all against rescuing Miles Garrett. You're like, he had his chance.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

You were against it when I said to you that he should actually mean it during the holdout.

[Ira]

It's his fault.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

He should have got. He's going to waste his career there. He's the best. Best pass rusher there's ever been.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yep.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

He is the best pass rusher in the history of the league. He's faster to the number of sacks that he has than even Reggie White before 30 years old, and he's going to waste his entire career there because he chose to take that money and not be serious about that holdout.

[Stu Guts]

He said yesterday he would have given up those five sacks in one game for a win.

[Ira]

Do we believe him?

[Tony]

No.

[Chris Cote]

Yes. No.

[Stu Guts]

I said, okay.

[Chris Cote]

He didn't take it seriously. He hijacked the Super Bowl. Like, he took it super seriously. That's why it's a godfather offer. You can't say no to it.

[Stu Guts]

But if you do take that offer, you can't complain.

[Chris Cote]

I just can't believe that we're all like, well, this one's on you.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

That's right.

[Ira]

You get a choice.

[Chris Cote]

Die in that town.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I'm actually putting it on you.

[Chris Cote]

You.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Not him. You. Mike Ryan. Yes. Because I remember when he held out or when he made the trade demand. I'm saying stick. Stick to it. Because he did have the power to get out of there, and he folded his cards.

[Chris Cote]

I don't know what I had to do with it. I wasn't like, don't stick to it.

[Ira]

Yes, you were. You know what you did.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Yes, you.

[Chris Cote]

What did I do?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

You did that. You know what you did.

[Chris Cote]

I don't think either of you know what I did.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I know what you did.

[Chris Cote]

You know.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Remember it. That's why I won't allow you to do what you're doing right now. You did do that.

[Chris Cote]

I didn't do that.

[Ira]

Right now.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

You know what? You did it before. You did it now.

[Tony]

Say what you did.

[Chris Cote]

Say what you did.

[Stu Guts]

Say what you did.

[Ira]

You're doing it right now.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Still doing it.

[Dan Le Batard]

I'm starting to believe you did something.

[Chris Cote]

I didn't do anything.

[Greg Cote]

Why would you feel bad for Miles Garrett? It's self?

[Chris Cote]

Because he's a Cleveland Brown and he's done himself the right way.

[Greg Cote]

Exile. I wanted to be there and chase the money.

[Chris Cote]

I'm a little stunned at the hostility.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I'm going to go. I'm going to.

[Ira]

I'm going to.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I'm going to.

[Chris Cote]

I'm tired of you doing like when you're at a restaurant. Grandpa's getting older, and I'm going to.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Dedicate my equal evening. Defining the sound of when I told you he needs to stick to this and you were out here arguing, no, he doesn't. It should be nice in Cleveland. Wait until he. Wait until he enjoys his time in Cleveland. Nonsense.

[Chris Cote]

I mean, I was probably like, man, this is a bummer. But I was like, yeah, you deserve this because you wasted his career, Right? In fact, I am certain I said, you deserve to lose this guy Cleveland. I'm shocked that he's there. But also, stop yelling at people.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I'm confused.

[Stu Guts]

What are you guys confused about? He demands a trade, and then their response to that is, we're going to make you the highest paid person ever. And he took it. So he can't then three games, four games later, be like, no, I want to be out of here.

[Ira]

The difference is he didn't. A lot of times players demand trades. Like Michael Parsons. Players demand trades because of a salary dispute.

[Chris Cote]

Why is he demanding the finger thing?

[Ira]

See, you're doing it right now.

[Chris Cote]

In the finger.

[Ira]

See, you're doing it right now.

[Chris Cote]

Like, he crossed.

[Stu Guts]

You are doing it.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Yeah.

[Ira]

Well, no, he didn't cross the line, but now he has to eat it. He demanded a trade in his own words because it's not a winning team, and he does not see a path to winning long term in Cleveland. Here's a lot of money.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Okay, I'll stay. He did cross the line, and now he has to eat It. And he's on the sidelines. They took him out yesterday. You know why he was yelling? Because he had five sacks, and he didn't want to come out of the game. He wanted more sacks. Like, he wanted to stay in a game. That was decided to see if he could have more sacks. Those were. That's a top five pick that was trying to block him unsuccessfully. A top five pick who said, I will fight and die to protect Drake May. And then Drake May almost died because Myles Garrett was always in the backfield.

[Chris Cote]

Just to be clear, you don't want him rescued. You don't want to see him playing games. I wanted.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

I wanted him rescued.

[Ira]

He made a choice.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

You're changing your argument. We had it at the time. And I remember saying at the time when Miles Garrett demanded a trade. Stick to your guns. You have real power here, real value. If you don't want to waste the entirety of your career in Cleveland, then you need to stick to your guns. And he did not.

[Chris Cote]

I don't even recall a debate. I was like, yeah, he's gone, and he deserves to be gone. You did this to him. He should be angry. He should be hijacking the super.

[Stu Guts]

But then he took the money and stayed.

[Chris Cote]

Yeah, but that was a. That was a huge stunner.

[Stu Guts]

Later, he just here anymore.

[Chris Cote]

All right, well, I don't. I don't think. I don't want him to get a rescue boat.

[Greg Cote]

I don't.

[Chris Cote]

I don't think I want to tell him, hey, you say on the Titanic, Billy Zane, you guys are acting like.

[Dan Le Batard]

Grunge bands that took record deals.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Like, oh, he sold out.

[Ira]

So now he doesn't deserve the opportunity.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is this?

[Chris Cote]

He signed a contract that finally paid him what he's worth, right?

[Greg Cote]

Yeah. By his choice.

[Chris Cote]

Well, all I'm saying is someone rescue him.

[Ira]

But he was never upset with his. His previous contract. That was never an issue. The issue, in his words, was, we can't win here. I want out.

[Chris Cote]

Yeah, well, that was a misstep, I guess. What do you think? Yeah, they were. They were. They're a bad football team.

[Ira]

You know, you did.

[Stu Guts]

I think, you know.

[Chris Cote]

You know, now I just want him to see, like, let's get him on the Chargers. What do you say? That's my.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Wait until you see. I'm gonna go through the archives tonight and produce this sound. You're gonna be shocked by what you're arguing. I bet you.

[Chris Cote]

To go through those archives.

[Show Announcer]

I bet you.

[Tony]

How are you going to do that, Dan?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Yeah, I'm going to. You want? Yeah, I'm going to bring it in tomorrow.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't know how you find any of.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

No, because I'll just look at when he asked for the trade. I'll just look for the date and I'll find it and just go back.

[Dan Le Batard]

And listen to all of the podcasts around there.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Not all of the podcasts. Just when he was an insufferable. Oh no. That's going to be hard to pin down. When he was insufferable.

[Chris Cote]

This is remarkable. It's just crazy that this about me.

[Dan Le Batard]

That the Browns are somehow like a worse version of the Lions. Like the Lions made their two greatest players of all time and Calvin Johnson and Barry Sanders retire early. But Joe Thomas and Myles Garrett are just going to play out their entire careers and they're still going to be a terrible team at maybe the two.

[Stu Guts]

Most important positions in football outside of quarterback.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

What a giant waste to see that guy have more sacks than reggie white before 30 years old when he has so little help organizationally and on their defensive line. Not just organizationally, but it's not like he. I remember those Reggie White defensive lines. And while he was a menace in Philadelphia and Green Bay, he also had other people with him that were for some foursomes that were difficult. They are going to waste the entirety of Myles Garrett's exemplary unprecedented career in Cleveland because he can get five sacks and they still get blown out by however many points they got blown out. And we're still talking and it's Drake Mays game getting MVP chance when that was Drake May being slowed in the first half of that game.

[Chris Cote]

But I do think he's handling this like you're suggesting. Like he's sitting there eating it. He's not doing the bad employee thing. He's not asking for his way out. He's not doing a reverse.

[Ira]

You need to eat it too.

[Chris Cote]

I'm saying someone rescue him. I'm not. I'm not saying Miles Garrett needs to make a mess of this. He's. He's too classy to make a mess.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

He was throwing his helmet and yelling at people on the sideline yesterday when he got removed.

[Chris Cote]

Sometimes it hit somebody else's head.

[Stu Guts]

Six months ago. Let's make him on a deserted island. Let's make that Cleveland go on in February. He's like, somebody help me. And then the Brown said we're gonna build you this big ass mansion there so you're gonna be happy here. He might stink here, but you're gonna be super happy. And then he Said yes. And then six games later you guys are expecting to be like, I don't want to be in this mansion anymore.

[Chris Cote]

No, no, no, no. I'm not expecting him to do that. Nor do I think he's even capable of that because largely his time in Cleveland has been very, very classy. I'm saying someone else realized there's a guy who, who's getting five sacks against a playoff team that is on a terrible team and he just needs to be rescued. Just someone rescue him. That because I would like to see Myles Garrett win. I would like to see Miles Garrett trying to get one of these all world elite quarterbacks on the ground in games that matter.

[Show Announcer]

That's it.

[Chris Cote]

I'm a fan of the game. I love ball.

[Greg Cote]

He had a chance to rescue himself though, and he didn't. I mean, and after the fact you're going, somebody rescue him. When he had a chance to rescue himself. These are the breaks.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Can you guys look up for me what was being talked about at the time? The Detroit Lions were talking about trading for him and we were talking about like how many draft picks that that would take. And the numbers were fairly extraordinary in what it is that we were talking about. Going back to yesterday's Jets Bengals game though, something I forgot to mention in funniest thing, I don't know if you guys noticed this. So the jets come back by scoring 15 points, two point conversion, two touchdowns. It's now 39, 38, and they're a little less than two min left. Joe Flacco left the field. Clearly at that age. He had to go to the bathroom. There wasn't a bathroom on the sideline that he could go to. And so while just while the drama of the last two minutes of this game is playing out, I'm seeing him run to the tunnel and I'm like, is he injured? No, he'd be going to the blue tent. But look how he's running. Wait a minute, I saw how he ran on third and 15. Now he's penguin running. That's a man who has to go to the bathroom. Yeah. And Joe Flacco left the field and I just think it's because of age that you just. Three hours, four hours. At that age, you gotta go.

[Tony]

It's a long wait.

[Chris Cote]

Dano.

[Tony]

I saw because I think that it was either the touchdown to two point conversion, but the moment he runs into the tunnel and he's gone, they score like automatically. So somebody must have ran in there.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

And be like, joe, they score.

[Dan Le Batard]

We gotta go. Let's go.

[Stu Guts]

And he's like, oh, how do they not have one of those bougie porta potties on this?

[Greg Cote]

They have to.

[Ira]

Well, because then 60,000 people know you're about to go take a dump.

[Greg Cote]

They know when you're running off the field with dancing swords, the guy's sitting down to go dancing.

[Stu Guts]

I think you just say that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Is that a thing?

[Greg Cote]

It's a thing when you have dancing sword.

[Chris Cote]

Your.

[Stu Guts]

Your innards are saying that my whole life. I know what you mean. I just don't know if anyone else.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Put it on the poll at LeBatard show. Do you know what dancing swords are?

[Greg Cote]

It means you gotta sit down to go, brother.

[Stu Guts]

Is that what that bad feeling is? That's what you imagine? There's swords in there?

[Chris Cote]

Just.

[Greg Cote]

Yes. Dancing.

[Stu Guts]

That's actually what it feels like.

[Greg Cote]

Thank you. I ain't lying.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

That is what happened, right? Joe Flacco, after four hours, simply had to go to the bathroom dancing swords. But it's such an unusual time to do it because the jets had just scored. Like, he's like, he's doing the timing of. Well, they're got to kick it off. And I got like, I got 10 minutes. Maybe he's one of those people who doesn't like porta Potty because they do have. We have the story. Can you just get me the story of Larry Izzo getting a game ball from Bill Belichick because he pooped in a bucket on the sideline? Joe Flacco was not going to do that. Although I would assum that somebody could go in the blue medical tent. And I think Joe Flacco is just a pristine pooper. He needs. He needs a clean bathroom. He's not going in public places.

[Dan Le Batard]

I can find zero proof on the entirety of the Internet of dancing swords, meaning anything having to do with poop.

[Greg Cote]

Patent pending.

[Tony]

Dan. They even got Jake Browning to start getting up and throwing the ball, like, just kind of like distract people. It's like, oh, Flack is going in. Then Brownings are like, all right, let's get a little warm up here.

[Chris Cote]

Little this and that.

[Tony]

All right, Joe scored. Let's go.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Let's get the story of Zach Thomas telling us Bill Belichick gave Larry Azoa a game ball.

[Greg Cote]

I mean, he definitely got a game ball for going to number two on the sidelines during Atlanta game this year. I'll tell you that one.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

He did what?

[Greg Cote]

Yeah, man. He into a bucket. So I thought that was a great story. He definitely number two in a bucket with the, you know, It's a pretty amazing thing to do. I've never heard that in my life. He got a game ball for it. That's very impressive, Greg.

[Dan Le Batard]

You think that dancing swords is like your original thing?

[Greg Cote]

I hope so.

[Ira]

Dancing swords. Copyright mine.

[Greg Cote]

I just.

[Chris Cote]

Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo, what are you doing here?

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Cuervo? Anytime someone says Cuervo show up, well.

[Chris Cote]

I do know that to be true. But even during ad reads like Cuervo, I think he could lay out especially for one of our great partners.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Sweet, delicious Cuervo.

[Chris Cote]

Since then, Cuervo has stayed true to its roots. The same family, the same land, the same passion.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Cuervo.

[Chris Cote]

So enjoy the tequila that started it all. Cuervo.

[Dan Le Batard (alternate or main host)]

Cuervo.
