Weekend NFL Observations

The discussion kicks off with an analysis of the NFL teams' performances over the weekend. Billy Corben references True Media statistics, highlighting that both the Bengals and Saints spent more time leading games compared to the top-performing Chiefs this season.

Billy Corben [02:00]: "Dan According to True Media, the 4 and 7 Bengals and the 4 and 7 Saints both have spent more time leading than the 9 and 1 Chiefs this season. Wow."

The hosts critique specific team strategies and performances, particularly focusing on the Ravens and Steelers matchup. They express frustration over Mike Tomlin’s team frequently converting field goals but struggling to secure touchdowns.

Mike Ryan [04:50]: "Six field goals wins it."

Billy Corben [04:52]: "Yeah, when Mike Tomlin has a team that is converting field goals and not scoring touchdowns, he has you right where he wants you."

Anthony Richardson’s Return and Coaching Decisions

A significant portion of the conversation revolves around Anthony Richardson’s return to the game. Dan announces Richardson’s comeback, prompting mixed reactions from the hosts about coaching decisions, particularly the initial benching of Richardson in favor of Joe Flacco.

Dan Le Batard [03:56]: "Because Dan, for the first time ever here on Weekend Observations, Anthony Richardson is back."

Billy Corben [04:01]: "Tony, I mean, enough of that guy stiking. Seriously, I mean, how can he. First off, Anthony Richardson should have punched him in the face. He has no business celebrating with Anthony Richardson."

Corben criticizes the coach for inconsistency, calling out the decision to bench Richardson after initially promoting Flacco, which led to disappointing performances and ultimately reverting to Richardson.

Billy Corben [04:17]: "You benched him. You told your team Flacco is the starter and then you went against everything you said. You look like a joke in the locker room."

---

Sports Betting and Sportsbooks

The hosts transition into a discussion about sports betting, with Billy expressing his frustrations despite acknowledging his love for gambling.

Billy Corben [05:40]: "The only loser in the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight was us boxing. Dead sports books. When you congratulate me on my deposit, it doesn't make me feel any better about my deposit."

They discuss the pervasive nature of sportsbooks and the addictive aspects of betting, highlighting the financial pitfalls involved.

---

Team Performances and Criticisms

The conversation shifts to broader team performances, with a particular focus on the New York Jets. Corben expresses strong negative sentiments towards the Jets for their inconsistent performances and reliance on multiple kickers.

Billy Corben [12:07]: "The jets trotted out their fourth kicker in four weeks. I hate them. Yesterday, the jets scored 25 points for the first time this season. I hate them. Despite that offensive explosion, they still lost. I hate them."

Other teams and players are also discussed, including Taysom Hill’s role, with Corben criticizing Hill for taking touchdowns meant for other players.

Billy Corben [11:45]: "Just someone good. Anyone. ... Taysom Hill steals them. I mean, Kamara's out there. He's getting him down the field. He gets him inside the five, and then you know who steals his touchdown? Taysom Hill."

• Post-Football Ventures:

  Gore discusses his foray into boxing, sharing experiences from training and fighting against notable figures like Mike Tyson and Jake Paul.

[Greg Cody]

All right.

[Mike Ryan]

[Billy Corben]

Lot to get to.

[Mike Ryan]

Yes, but we begin with Weekend Observations. It is time for Stu Gats to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boy Stu.

[Billy Corben]

Weekend Observations brought to you by Miller Lite. Great taste. Just 96 calories available for delivery.

[Frank Gore]

Dan.

[Billy Corben]

Two weeks ago he tapped out for a play because he had the audacity to admit he was tired. His fraud of a coach said Joe Flacco was the starter for the remainder of the season. Two losses and four interceptions later, Coach Phony's hand was forced. Yesterday he completed 66% of his passes for 272 yards, three touchdowns, including the game winner. And Dan, just like that. Make no mistake about it, let's congratulate him together. Because Dan, for the first time ever here on Weekend Observations, Anthony Richardson is back.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll please. Juju, is Coach Phony forced to play qb?

[Billy Corben]

Tony, I mean, enough of that guy stiking. Seriously, I mean, how can he. First off, Anthony Richardson should have punched him in the face. He has no business celebrating with Anthony Richardson.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm sure that would have gone over with.

[Billy Corben]

You benched him. You benched him. You told your team Flacco is the starter and then you went against everything you said. You look like a joke in the locker room. And two games later you're back to Anthony Richardson and celebrating with him after that victory. Terrible job. Anyway, Raven Steelers, that's football. They've been playing that Raven Steelers game for 30 years. If you look up the definition of 18 to 16 in the dictionary, what you'll find is Raven Steelers. It's what that game's all about.

[Mike Ryan]

Six field goals wins it.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, when Mike Tomlin has a team that is converting field goals and not scoring touchdowns, he has you right where he wants you. He's 2 and 0.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, it's funny.

[Billy Corben]

Anyway, the only loser in the Jake Paul Mike Tyson fight was us boxing. Dead sports books. When you congratulate me on my deposit, it doesn't make me feel any better about my deposit. Congratulations, you've lost and have to deposit more money. I mean, I love sports books. I do. I love gambling.

[Mike Ryan]

I think you should.

[Billy Corben]

But don't congratulate me on a deposit.

[Mike Ryan]

I think the sing song way you said that you should audition to replace the AOL guy who just died here recently. The voice of the sportsbook, Scratchy Stugotts. Just saying. Congratulations, we've got more of your money.

[Billy Corben]

Speaking of Sportsbooks. Stugotts, his personal record book preorder now stugottsbook.com bestseller. Greg Cody as well.

[Mike Ryan]

Bestseller. Already a bestseller. And it's not even out technically yet for the holidays. When is that? That's coming up in a minute, isn't it? Where it's like the official grand opening of. You can get this everywhere, not [e-mail].

[Billy Corben]

A week from tomorrow. A week from tomorrow?

[Dan Le Batard]

I already found a typo in it.

[Greg Cody]

Oh, no.

[Dan Le Batard]

Meadowlark was spelled wrong on my page.

[Billy Corben]

Get out of here. I mean, Stanzik. Jesus.

[Mike Ryan]

Damn it.

[Billy Corben]

Editors.

[Chris Cody]

Big publisher, too think that they have editors.

[Billy Corben]

You're right. Congratulations to the 72 dolphins on another year as the only perfect team in NFL history. You see Zonk, he's taken over, like, for Merck. Yeah, yeah, it's great. Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

Mercury is insufferable up in heaven right now.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Zonk is going everywhere telling everyone to bleep off. They're the best they've ever been.

[Billy Corben]

I love that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can't even make fun of them this year because it's like a too soon.

[Mike Ryan]

Thing with Merc because he just passed away.

[Dan Le Batard]

But, yeah, normally be like, oh, Bo, drink your champagne, losers. But no, it's, like, sad.

[Mike Ryan]

Now, the thing that I love many.

[Frank Gore]

More people toasting, it's getting to that point.

[Tony]

That guy that he was toasting with also, I think, if I remember correctly, is like, a high school classmate of his or it's like a friend of his. Not even another member of the Dolphins.

[Billy Corben]

Running out of teammates.

[Tony]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

You guys should look up just Zonk's resume in general, though, in terms of being more of a man than all of the other men who are roaming the earth. It's not just that he had an outdoorsman show. He was lost in the Bering sea.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah. Yeah. Didn't sweat it either.

[Mike Ryan]

No, they just had to cut directions.

[Dan Le Batard]

He is a man.

[Tony]

Did the Dolphins have, like, another fullback that, like, fell off a boat and float like Rob Conrad?

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, we had a. Dolphins are, like.

[Tony]

Leading the league and former players getting lost at sea and surviving somehow.

[Mike Ryan]

But Rob Conrad was a fullback who was, like, lost in a canoe because he took a wrong turn in the Everglades. They had to go Coast Guard. Had to go helicopter and find Zonk.

[Frank Gore]

That's. Rob Conrad was in the.

[Billy Corben]

Conrad.

[Frank Gore]

No, he was also in the ocean.

[Billy Corben]

Ye.

[Frank Gore]

And one canoe. He just fell off a boat that kept going away from him.

[Billy Corben]

A wrong turn on a canoe. I'm.

[Frank Gore]

Look, I'm Standing up in like waist deep water.

[Tony]

I don't want to manifest this at all. I'm saying this on the front end. I'm worried about Jimmy, honestly going out on the boat constantly because you know he goes out fishing by himself a lot.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, but he's skilled. I mean.

[Tony]

Yeah, it just takes one bite, you know what I mean?

[Chris Cody]

Three rings.

[Mike Ryan]

It can be easy to be lost at sea. And I did undersell what happened to Rob Conrad, but I just that comparatively to what happened to Zonk. It was the equivalence of getting lost on a paddle board.

[Billy Corben]

Just. Just comparatively wrong turn on a canoe.

[Chris Cody]

How come somebody on Conrad's boat wasn't going. Where's Rob?

[Tony]

Yeah, he was alone.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, was he?

[Billy Corben]

Yep.

[Chris Cody]

That answers that canoe.

[Mike Ryan]

That's why Billy was afraid for Jimmy.

[Billy Corben]

Jim Harbaugh lives for short yardage situations. Situations is what I was trying to say. LSU until next year. How much longer is LSU going to pretend that Brian Kelly is a good coach?

[Mike Ryan]

Has he won a total of 10 games?

[Billy Corben]

He stinks.

[Mike Ryan]

Is a total 10.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, he won 10 games the last two seasons.

[Billy Corben]

Right.

[Dan Le Batard]

He's got a 10 game win streak per season record that is going to be broken.

[Billy Corben]

This got a 68 million dollar buyout if they decide to get rid of them. So I'll be there for a while. Stash this away in the something to ponder file. Has 81 degrees become the new cold front in South Florida? No need to discuss now. Probably should have discussed this 50 years ago. Just stash it away for a rainy day. This weekend was a cold front. It was humid.

[Mike Ryan]

Supposed to be 71 degrees this morning on South Beach.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah. Hot. A hot 71.

[Mike Ryan]

No, it was nice. It's nice Breezy.

[Billy Corben]

If you say so. Texas, congratulations on both surviving and advancing to lane. Keep an eye on them. The Green Wave. Stanford football used to mean something.

[Mike Ryan]

Why'd you just do that? They won this weekend.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, it used to mean something though. I mean you cannot have 40 fans at a game and then when you win that game have those 40 fans storm the field. It's embarrassing. It used to mean something to be a part of Stanford football. John Elway played there. Andrew Luck played there.

[Mike Ryan]

They won as a three touchdown underdog against Louisville.

[Billy Corben]

They were three to get their record to three and nine or something like that.

[Dan Le Batard]

The end of that game was insane.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

Louisville got a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to put Stanford in range of a 57 yard field goal. Then jumped off sides and it became a 52 yard field goal. And they made the field goal.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

You can't have a tree as a mascot.

[Dan Le Batard]

I agree. I hate that stupid tree.

[Billy Corben]

It's a great point.

[Tony]

They're cardinal, right?

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the pole, please.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

The mascot of the band, can you.

[Mike Ryan]

Have a tree as a mascot?

[Billy Corben]

At Lebatard show, can you have a band mascot? I don't know how I feel about that. James Franklin. Do it against a good team. Not anyone in particular. Just someone good. Anyone. Thanks. No one steals fantasy touchdowns from more deserving teammates quite like Taysom Hill. I mean, he just steals them. He steals them. I mean, Kamara's out there. He's getting him down the field. He gets him inside the five, and then you know who steals his touchdown? Taysum Hill.

[Mike Ryan]

Mike, a couple of weeks ago, you were saying, bet at value. Taysum Hill, over one and a half touchdowns. Did you bet that this weekend?

[Greg Cody]

No.

[Frank Gore]

Damn.

[Tony]

Taysom Hill also had like, 180 rushing yards. He wasn't just stealing touchdowns.

[Frank Gore]

He ran into a team that looked like it quit.

[Billy Corben]

Yes, but for his career, barely. He is a stealer of touchdowns for more deserving players. That's all I'm saying.

[Tony]

He only had 130. 180 combined with receiving.

[Billy Corben]

Dan, you have never sounded older than you did. When? Last week, on three separate occasions. When speaking about young people, you said to me, they don't know what they don't know. Here's what I know. You need to stop saying that.

[Mike Ryan]

It is what it is.

[Greg Cody]

Hey.

[Tony]

Time will tell.

[Billy Corben]

The jets trotted out their fourth kicker in four weeks. I hate them. Yesterday, the jets scored 25 points for the first time this season. I hate them. Despite that offensive explosion, they still lost. I hate them. Not a matter of if, just a matter of how. I hate them. I imagine Robert Salah watching the jets game from his couch with his feet kicked up and a big smile on his face. Dan, the S at Salah stands for smiles. All smiles. I love a full complement of timeouts. Don't you feel better when you have a full compliment?

[Chris Cody]

Yeah.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, it's great. The jets never have that.

[Mike Ryan]

Is there a full complement of anything other than timeouts? Like, does that phrase get used with anything else? A full complement of anywhere other than with timeouts?

[Chris Cody]

No, that's it.

[Mike Ryan]

Uncorked as a phrase is only used for wild pitches and whines. Is this in that category? Is this bats?

[Tony]

Someone told me I have an ass. Don't quit. I said, that's a full compliment.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Really? Someone told you you got an ass that don't Quit.

[Tony]

I made that up.

[Stugotz]

Do you have your full complement of relievers in a bullpen?

[Billy Corben]

Hmm, I don't know. Do you?

[Stugotz]

I just did.

[Billy Corben]

Has anyone ever said that, though? Yeah. Really?

[Chris Cody]

Sounds like a phrase.

[Dan Le Batard]

I think it could be anything.

[Mike Ryan]

You think if you're a reliever down from either injury or you used him the day before, you don't have a full complement of relievers.

[Stugotz]

I'm thinking a manager before the game says, I have my full compliment. Relief. Everyone's resting.

[Billy Corben]

You might be right. Yeah.

[Tony]

I just googled full compliment of just to see what else would come up. And adult teeth is one of the first things that comes up.

[Chris Cody]

What?

[Billy Corben]

Wow, Greg, you have a full compliment.

[Chris Cody]

I do.

[Mike Ryan]

So far, you have a full compliment of adult teeth. You do.

[Chris Cody]

I do, yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

You still have a full compliment. You haven't lost any.

[Chris Cody]

I've got great gums. My dentist told me that I will die with my teeth. That's the exact phrase he used, which. I thought he might have rephrased that to make me feel a little better.

[Billy Corben]

Isaac Wilson, Zach's brother, plays quarterback at Utah. Three interceptions over the weekend. You know what they say, Dan. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. It's brothers, though, so it's a little bit different. But you get what I'm saying, right?

[Mike Ryan]

The cliche doesn't work with brothers.

[Dan Le Batard]

Birds of a feather is what you wanted to say?

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, perhaps. What I wanted to say is Zach Wilson is the apple that dropped first, and it was far from the tree, and then his brother was even further from the tree. You know what I'm saying?

[Mike Ryan]

That doesn't make any sense.

[Chris Cody]

Genetics is what you mean.

[Billy Corben]

Yep. They're that kind of thing.

[Mike Ryan]

They're brothers. That's all you mean?

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, Louisville, Stanford, a couple of Cardinals. Cutting it up.

[Mike Ryan]

I mean, one is a cardinal.

[Chris Cody]

Well, singular, it's a cardinal sin that.

[Billy Corben]

Just made and a tree.

[Frank Gore]

But one's a bird, the other one's a color.

[Billy Corben]

When it gets past midnight in Provo, birds of a feather, all bets are off. That's the thing with byu. That's what happened. They have to win that game before midnight, because after midnight, anything could happen. Even in Provo. Especially in Provo.

[Dan Le Batard]

Did the BYU quarterback throw that nasty interception before midnight? I think he did. That was when it was the beginning of the byu.

[Billy Corben]

Making Hawaii play in the snow just isn't right.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the poll, please. Juju at lebatar show. Is it right to make Hawaii play in the snow?

[Billy Corben]

Matt LaFleur is 110 against the Bears. You of course know what that means, right, Dan?

[Mike Ryan]

He has their number.

[Billy Corben]

Good guess. Just means he's 11 and.

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, okay. Okay.

[Billy Corben]

I understand. Though I understand why you would guess that having a quarterback who can get you one yard on a QB sneak might be the most underrated thing in football. Greg agrees. Look at that.

[Chris Cody]

I do.

[Billy Corben]

Amazing. Good company. Josh Allen, the rare touchdown that wins the game and the MVP double digit. Excuse me. Wow. What happened there? The weekend did Market. Double digit leads make Mike Tomlin uncomfortable. Market.

[Mike Ryan]

That'll be a good stump to meet.

[Greg Cody]

Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

It's going to be a good one.

[Billy Corben]

Double. I want to hear it back. Double date.

[Mike Ryan]

You got. You tripped over. You got scared. It had like four GS in it.

[Billy Corben]

But you agree with me, right? Like when Tom one's up 14, he doesn't like that. He wants to out coach you and out kick you in the final couple of minutes. He does. He's at his best. Here come the Kraken.

[Chris Cody]

Think of Mike Tyson's ass.

[Mike Ryan]

How happy were you guys to see the Panthers smoke Winnipeg? Like that.

[Frank Gore]

Needed those after those Devils games.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, Somebody had to lose between Nebraska and usc. Nebraska clearly wanted it more. Steelers, Saints, Colts. You know what the dogs were doing Sunday, Dan? They were barking.

[Mike Ryan]

Barking.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah.

[Billy Corben]

I could see how you're off. You guessed right the first time. Yes.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. Guess wrong.

[Billy Corben]

Fran Brown earned his shower this week. Only Jared Goff can go from five interceptions to a perfect passer rating. The jets are a Geno Smith away. Justin Tucker kicking his way out of the hall of Fame. I would be okay with the Chiefs and Bills playing every single week. Same with Raven. Steelers always delivers. Patriots walking that fine line of knowing they have a franchise quarterback but still losing. That's what I call the sweet spot. It's a great spot. Oh, I love that spot.

[Mike Ryan]

So you're convinced on Drake? Man, I am.

[Chris Cody]

Good game.

[Billy Corben]

The only guy I'm not convinced of is Caleb. Bo Nix is amazing. Jaden, very good. The thought of Michael Penix. Amazing. Penix played yesterday.

[Mike Ryan]

Speaking of snaps that looked like they quit, Mike, Because I don't know how you do that with Cleveland where they lose 3514 and you see a team that quit. But that Atlanta result looked like quitting, even though it wasn't quitting. Denver did that to them.

[Frank Gore]

Excited to have Kirk Cousins in the studio for Football Night in America.

[Mike Ryan]

He's.

[Frank Gore]

I think he's going to kill it. I think he's going to be a great commentator.

[Billy Corben]

Dan, you know what the P in Doug Peterson stands for pack your bags. Bill Belichick. Jack Jacksonville Jaguars. Collision course. Jacksonville. It's happening. He's going there. Nobody loves a shovel pass like the Kansas City Chiefs. They do.

[Greg Cody]

They love them.

[Mike Ryan]

Put it on the pole. Juju at lebatar show. Would you be fine if the Bills and Chiefs played every week?

[Billy Corben]

Yeah. Justin Herbert can scoot. Bo Nixon. The Broncos squarely in the mix. Bo Mix. How the hell did The Lions get 38 first downs in a single game? Speaking of hell, Art Briles Dan those are the weekend observations.

[Frank Gore]

[Mike Ryan]

Don Le I got somebody here making fun of me. How old do you have to be to reference Checky Green? Man, I went comedically there with the funny name of a comedian. That's on you for not knowing who. Shecky, you know who.

[Chris Cody]

Checky Green.

[Mike Ryan]

No, you don't have to know who she Green is, but your ally. No, no. Yeah, I don't like my allies.

[Frank Gore]

Belt stugots.

[Chris Cody]

I have the soul of a borscht belt comedian. I should be in the Catskills in 1945 opening for Shaggy Green. That's who I was destined to be.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats. So get for me, please. The CBS crew enjoying itself with Bill's Mafia. It feels good to be buffeted Buffalo today. You. You take out Kansas City. Everyone else was playing one score Games against Kansas City, nobody knew how to beat them, but you beat them with your quarterback being the best at the end. And you. Let's. Let's just watch here. What was happening during Bill's mafia fun as everything descended on Buffalo and we had a bunch of people who did not know how to jump and run and fall into tables. The NFL Today crew was jumping. What are you guys making faces about back there?

[Tony]

Billy, those are fake tables.

[Stugotz]

The tables are definitely, like, pre cut.

[Tony]

No, it's missing hardware at the bottom. Look like. No, but look, they shouldn't separate into two pieces like that. There's hardware missing that connects those two pieces together, right?

[Stugotz]

No, These tables, they're easier to jump through than most, but still, I give. These. I give. This is for people just listening. This is J.J. watt, Nate Burleson, Matt Ryan, and Bill Cower. And they're all doing it to their credit.

[Chris Cody]

Oh, my.

[Frank Gore]

He's about.

[Stugotz]

Coward goes. They build up to Cower. No, he's going right here. See, here's Coward.

[Mike Ryan]

Cower's a little old to be doing this, I feel like. Isn't coward approaching 70 now?

[Billy Corben]

Oh, my. Man, that hurts. That hurts.

[Mike Ryan]

That seemed dangerous for his head there.

[Stugotz]

Now these guys at least have the right technique. They're just doing the classic elbow, like, you know, wrestling drop through a table ass. You break the fall with your ass first for sure. Ass first. And now let's go to Harry Douglas. This guy's crazy, all right. He's on top of what looks like a van, an RV of some sort. He jumps through a table. He clearly has never seen this done before. He goes feet first.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah. I don't think that Harry knew what he was doing here. This is not how you do this. Ouch. That's a good way to hurry up.

[Stugotz]

He goes feet first. His feet fly into the air. His head goes back as if it's gonna. Luckily, he did not bang his head on the ground. He was okay.

[Mike Ryan]

He doesn't know what he's doing here. He's doing it poorly, and he's doing it a second time.

[Stugotz]

No, no, that's a replay. Best part about this is. No, no, no. The best part about this is he does do it a second time, guys.

[Mike Ryan]

Put.

[Stugotz]

He goes back up. He does it the same way. It's not as bad of a fall. But he doesn't learn his lesson. He goes feet first.

[Billy Corben]

And he doing that.

[Frank Gore]

Why isn't anyone telling him that's a real thing?

[Stugotz]

Crazy.

[Dan Le Batard]

God, this is such a terrible idea.

[Billy Corben]

Wow.

[Chris Cody]

And a waste of Tables.

[Dan Le Batard]

We wouldn't even do that at metal art.

[Mike Ryan]

It is a waste of tables. Can you guys get for me, please, the video of the helicopter? Ball drop, coin drop and just a bit. Basically, it's a fight at the start of a football game to drop a football onto the field and have whoever it is that gets that football. This seems like a waste of fuel. It seems like a waste of money. It seems like, what is this game? Where is this happening?

[Dan Le Batard]

This is in Utah. This is a 1. A state championship game.

[Stugotz]

And it's just two players sitting at the midfield. They drop the ball what looks like a hundred feet and it's just a free for all to get the ball.

[Billy Corben]

I love that. So if you get the ball, you get the ball first. Is that the.

[Stugotz]

Yes. I mean. Or you get to decide probably like as if you won the coin toss.

[Billy Corben]

This is.

[Stugotz]

I'm with Dan, though. This seems inefficient in terms of funds.

[Chris Cody]

Good use of government money. A military helicopter being used for that $5,000 every time it lifts off.

[Mike Ryan]

I imagine that that's not cheap to get a helicopter over there to do that. Let's. I wanted to switch here, though, to an insurance fraud story before we finish up this hour. I don't know if you're familiar with this dugout, but there was an insurance claim that was made and there is video proof of the ins claim, which is a bear destroyed our property. And this story unraveled as soon as the insurance. The insurance checkpoints.

[Billy Corben]

The adjusters.

[Mike Ryan]

The adjusters found out that it wasn't a bear, an actual bear. It was just a human being in a bear costume.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, these people were like, hey, a bear broke into our car. And they sent this video footage into their insurers. And the insurers were like, something about this bear video is not right. And they were able to do an investigation and deduce that this was in fact a person in a bear costume with completed with a furry snouted head, paws and metal tools in the shape of claws.

[Mike Ryan]

The bear had what was clearly a human elbow, which is where the story started to fall apart.

[Dan Le Batard]

And also was the wrong color bear because brown bears are not common there. Black bears are, but they can bear brown. But this shade of brown was incorrect. So the California Department of Fish and Wildlife was like, hang on a second.

[Chris Cody]

You know what? Points for inventive fraud.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah.

[Chris Cody]

I mean, if you're going to try to, you know, cheat the insurance company, go for it. You know what I mean?

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, Good try.

[Chris Cody]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, I think you get an F.

[Mike Ryan]

For this, it's an F all around. And it's a crime. As well as an added bonus.

[Billy Corben]

We're saying A for effort. That's all we're saying.

[Mike Ryan]

I'm gonna give you an A for effort, and I'm gonna give the jets an A for effort on your pain. Let's. Let's finally play the song I asked for two hours ago.

[Billy Corben]

All in. All in. I'm a fan of the Jets.

[Greg Cody]

I'm.

[Billy Corben]

I'm a fan of the Jets.

[Mike Ryan]

The Jets, The Jets.

[Billy Corben]

Why this team?

[Mike Ryan]

The jets are the Jets.

[Greg Cody]

Don Levitard.

[Chris Cody]

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

[Billy Corben]

Stugats don't do it.

[Mike Ryan]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the Stugats. Mr. Guys, this is a Miami legend. Five time Pro Bowler in six NFL seasons, third in NFL career rushing yards with 1600 yards. Most seasons with 1200 yards from scrimmage. What I'm going to tell them. Most seasons with 1200 yards from scrimmage. 12.

[Billy Corben]

He has to be headed to Canton.

[Mike Ryan]

Most consecutive seasons with at least 500 yards. Sixteen of them. Most consecutive seasons with at least, least 600 yards. Which is it, Frank Gore? Which is the number that you're proudest of, Frank?

[Greg Cody]

16,000. Yeah, that's what I'm proud about, you know. Yeah, you know, let me let them know, you know, they said coming out of college, I only played two, two or three years in the league from because my injuries, you know, and I overcame that and played 16, 16 years. You know, I'm gonna say all my, all my yards I'm proud of. So 16,000, the number 16,000.

[Mike Ryan]

And when you see that number and your name and only Emmett Smith and Walter Payton are above it, when I put you in that class, that's not even something that you imagined, correct?

[Greg Cody]

I never thought about it. But now since I'm not playing, you know, you look at the list and you see my number number three, man, that's a blessing. I'm proud and I'll be so happy to show my kids. And also, like, you know, because I kind of helped coaching low lead part one of football. So I show my kids I coach, you know, on YouTube, like, why not? And they'd be amazed too, cause, you know, they never saw me play. So I'm proud of it.

[Mike Ryan]

Can you explain to the people how unlikely, against the odds, the entirety of your story is? Like, I know we've talked to you a lot over the years, but just when you think of your story being against the odds, what do you think of as the hardest things that got in your way?

[Greg Cody]

Well, you know, I would say what got him out, you know, my story was, it's crazy, you know, going to University of Miami. I went to Miami 2001, played with the best team ever, college football team, you know, I played as a freshman. I came back next year, sophomore year. Going into my sophomore year, I told my acl, I got back on my feet, had a couple of games, and I told my ACL again, you know, and a lot of people wrote me off. Then also I had, going into the combine, I had show. I found out I had labrum tear in the combine. So a lot of people took me off their drafts of the draft board and, you know, the 49ers took a chance on me and they was, they were. Everybody was saying that they took me too high in the third round and, you know, I was. They say I was played two years, three years in the league and I was able to play 16, you know, and I tell the kids, you know, I tell the kids my story. I told them, man, as long as you believe in God and work your behind all and don't worry about what people say and believe in yourself that you could do it. And I showed them, and I showed them that, you know, that it can't happen.

[Mike Ryan]

Let's talk about that 2001 running backs room for a second, who was the best running back in that room.

[Greg Cody]

I would never say who was the best, because I think we all was good. And I think when you look at our numbers and what we did when we went to the NFL, it shows that we all can play. Because you look at our numbers, I think we all got close to 10,000 or 10,000 yards. So let's take a hats off to our coach and us, you know, just competing. And when I tell people about that room, I think that room got me prepared to go to the NFL, you know, because the NFL, they try to replace you every year. And I didn't care who they brought in the room, you know, and the 49ers at the Colts in Miami, the Buffalo or the jets, because I was used to it, going to University of Miami for the competition, you know, just competing with Porters, Nagahi, Jerry Payton, Najee Davenport, you know, it didn't matter to me because you know, what I had to deal with at the University of Miami.

[Mike Ryan]

But what are the stories that can now be told 20 years later about how competitive that was? Because you're talking about a lot of running back, professional running backs. It was hard for you to play as a freshman. It was an accomplishment that you were playing as a freshman.

[Greg Cody]

I would say you had to do everything right, you know, at the time. In that time, you had to go to class, you had to bring it every day in practice unless coachology wasn't gonna play you on Saturday. But I will say what. I took my hat off, too. Clinton Portis, man, you know, he was the starter on me coming in as a freshman. I was like one of the top guys in the nation. And he never, you know, he always. He took me under his wing. And a lot of guys don't do that when they see a guy who can play. You know, I. I could be like. He could be before the game because I was his roommate the night before the games, he'll be like, hey, Frank, I'm gonna go get 100. I'm gonna get 150 first half. I'm gonna let you go handle the second half, you know, and, you know, stuff like that, you know. So I take my hats off to my boy Clinton, man. He was real, like a real, real OG to me. He really took care of me when I went to University of Miami.

[Mike Ryan]

Harbaugh is crazy, right?

[Greg Cody]

That's my man. How about great coach?

[Mike Ryan]

I don't disagree, but he's also crazy, right?

[Greg Cody]

You know, he, you know, hardball, kind of, kind of, kind of different.

[Mike Ryan]

He regrets not running you more in the super bowl at the end. Has he told you this?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, he did. He never told me what I saw at the interview. I think last year he finally said that he should have gave me the opportunity to run. It's all good. I wish we got the win, but it was a great experience.

[Mike Ryan]

Frank, I'm a body language expert. I've been interviewing for a long time. The way that you fiddled with that pen. You remember that he didn't run you late in that game, and you're pretending like it was okay when it was goddamn not. Right? Okay. It was not okay, Frank.

[Billy Corben]

I feel better.

[Mike Ryan]

It was not okay, Frank. You were playing around with that pen because you don't want to say anything controversial, and I understand that. I'm badging you right now.

[Greg Cody]

How about my guy? Man, you know, I love Coach Harbaugh, man. I talk to Him a lot. You know, I wish him well at the charges. And he doing a great job, man. You know, he my guy. He my guy.

[Billy Corben]

Frank, I need three yards tomorrow. Can you still get it for me?

[Mike Ryan]

Oh, what, are you kidding me?

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, I go get it.

[Billy Corben]

Yeah, my man.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah.

[Greg Cody]

Yes, I go get it.

[Billy Corben]

I have no doubt either.

[Mike Ryan]

No, I mean, of course not. He could go get it. Was it hard at the end to let it go, Frank? Because it looked at by the end, you know, 20 years on the body in that sport doing that thing. Seems like it wouldn't be hard to let it go because of how much it hurts.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, it was, you know, not winning the super bowl, right?

[Mike Ryan]

No, I'm just talking about the physical pain of what. I'm talking about what you did for a living. Yeah, football.

[Greg Cody]

No, I was like, when I was playing because I love the game so much. I used to be scared about, you know, when I got older, about, you know, just what I'm gonna do, what I'm done. But I always told myself, you know, if I couldn't work out and didn't want to work out the same, you know, I walk away because I take pride in how I look on some days, you know, And I know, like, if you don't. If you don't work out the off season, you know, you're not. You not. Can't be yourself on Sundays. And once it was my. My year after the jets, you know, I remember when I started off season workout and, you know, I just didn't want to do my second workouts no more, you know. Cause I used to work out twice a day, you know, I felt like, you know, the morning workouts, working out with other guys in the NFL, that's what you're supposed to do. But the workout, what got me over the top? Well, my second workout, my second training that when nobody. Not doing, you know, everybody probably partying when I'm out training. And when I, When I was skipping days, not working out the second. My second workout, that's when I was kind of iffy about me going back. And I did have. I did get calls on 2021 to go back and play, and I. And when I told him no, I was happy with myself because I never thought I'd say no about playing ball.

[Mike Ryan]

What were the opportunities that you turned down in 2021?

[Greg Cody]

I had. I had Baltimore. I had Baltimore. I could have. I could have went to because I. My coordinator, who I was with in my San Francisco, Greg Roman, he was the coordinator, and that went on jk, Dogs got hurt and they called to see if I wanted to come up. And you know, and I decided and I told him I, I knew I wasn't training, I didn't train the way I usually train. And when I told him no, you know, he was surprised himself because he know where I love ball. But I was happy with myself. So how happy for me, you know, to walk away like that on my terms, you know what I'm saying?

[Chris Cody]

Frank, you weren't done competing though, after football. I saw you a few years ago in a small boxing gym in Broward county, training for your first professional fight. I wonder how you look back on your boxing experience and what you thought of Tyson. Paul I wish, I mean, yeah, yeah, Tyson Paul.

[Greg Cody]

I wish the, I wish I would have train with a different trainer who really, you know, I would say like the first fight they didn't prepare me the right way, you know, I didn't, you know, because I didn't know what to expect. So I'm thinking I'm doing the right thing. But I fought two times. The second fight when I, that's what made me really kind of say it was too much aggressive, too, too much for me. But the second fight they showed me how you really supposed to train for a fight. And it, you know, it was just a lot, man. It's too aggressive, you know, especially me playing football, you know, 16 years, then I'm, you know, sparring three times a week. Once I found out the right way, how you really train. I was saying it's too aggressive, but you know, the fight Saturday, you know, I was, you know, it was, it was, you know, it was sad, you know, you know, I was kind of worried about Tyson, but you know, he got, he got through eight rounds. I could tell Jake didn't go really hard because I think Jake probably could have hurt him. But you know, the sales, 58 year old man going eight rounds, getting through it, that was a plus for Tyson.

[Mike Ryan]

What are you doing with DirecTV, Frank?

[Greg Cody]

Well, I joined DirecTV. We had a, you know, great time this weekend with the fans. We had a tailgate party before the games and I enjoyed all my fans out here in the Bay Area. We had a, you know, I was signing autographs, playing games, you know, we had free food, you know, watching early games and, you know, just had a great time to get ready, you know, before we played Seattle. It was a great tailgate party.

[Mike Ryan]

But the nothing on your roof campaign, what is that, what is it that you were launching and why does it Matter to you.

[Greg Cody]

It matters to me because, you know. You know, it's something that I'll enjoy that we had the fans over. The fans will always been, you know, my biggest fans here. They always been great to me. Direct tv, one of the best, you know, TV station that sports that, you know, you watch sports on and, you know, just being. Just being there around the fans, man, and, you know, just enjoying them, man, and, you know, trying to get ready to cheer the 49ers on before the game.

[Tony]

And with nothing on your roof, now, you can do it satellite free, which is super cool, right?

[Greg Cody]

Yep. Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike Ryan]

Frank, before we let you go on the Last note, with 16 years of running the ball as physically as you ran the ball, which part of the body is the one that takes the beating the most of 16 years of doing it the way that you did it?

[Greg Cody]

It's different for me because I really didn't get hit, man. You know, I played low to the ground, and I also, I played off angles, so that's why I was, you know, that's why I still feel good. Like, I never took a flush hit, you know, I never let no one hit me flush, you know, so I can't say, you know, you know, so nothing hurts, Frank.

[Billy Corben]

Unbelievable.

[Mike Ryan]

You did it for 16 years and you were able to avoid.

[Billy Corben]

I mean, three yards tomorrow he gets it.

[Greg Cody]

I can go play right now, man.

[Mike Ryan]

Yeah, Frank. My knees hurt. My back hurts.

[Billy Corben]

Just getting out of the car.

[Mike Ryan]

Just getting up in the morning. Just getting up in the morning. You avoid.

[Greg Cody]

I wish you could see me train right now. I still, you know, the summertime I train. I train young running backs, you know, and I. I go out and train with them. You know, I train my son. I train with Jonathan Teller. You know, I trained with a lot of. A lot of other young running baskets in college. Martinez. Damian Martinez at Miami. I wish you could come see who came the closest.

[Mike Ryan]

Who came the closest to a clean hit on Frank Gore. Give me a name.

[Greg Cody]

I would say God bless his soul. When I was my. My first year in my rookie year at Sean Teller, but I could kind of tell he kind of. He tried. He. You know, he. He did it on purpose, not to really try to kill me. You know, he kind of like, you know, hit me with his shoulders, you know, that's my boy. You know, that was my boy.

[Billy Corben]

So he eased up on me.

[Mike Ryan]

People talk about Sean Taylor that way in a way that's really confusing to me, the way they talk about Sean Taylor and retrospect.

[Greg Cody]

Yeah, yeah, he was one of the best, you know, guys I played with man, one of the most talented player I ever saw play the game of football man. I think him, he could have played any position and being like a guy, you know, and on football field, man he was credible.

[Mike Ryan]

Frank, always good catching up with you. Thank you for making the time for us.

[Greg Cody]

All right, thank you all.

[Billy Corben]

Thank you Frank.
