Overview
This Postgame Show delivers the signature mix of sports hot takes, pop-culture riffs, and absurdist humor that defines the Le Batard & Friends universe. Broadcasting from downtown Miami, the crew—alongside rising comedy contributor JuJu Gotti—dives into NFL storylines, celebrates wacky sports bets (including the legendary free hot dog stunt by Chicago’s Ben Johnson), and ranks the best-named players in football. Email polls, running gags, and classic locker room energy abound.
Key Topics & Discussion Points
1. Against the Spread and Sportsbook Banter
Timestamps: 00:34 – 02:18
- The crew plays their weekly “against the spread” NFL/NHL picks, with rapid-fire, semi-serious betting banter.
- Eric recommends taking the Jets as underdogs versus Buffalo due to a goalie (Hellebuyck) injury:
“They have lost four of the last five. So going to go with the Jets today at Buffalo.” (01:36–01:51)
- Dan goes bold with the Anaheim Ducks, humorously insisting they’ll make the playoffs:
“Let’s take them against those [Blues].” (01:54–02:18)
- Classic Stugotz energy:
“Give me that spread. I want that spread.” (00:51)
2. Chris Myers, Mark Schlereth, and the Miami Dolphins’ Broadcast Crew
Timestamps: 02:18 – 03:22
- JuJu notices Schlereth’s “challenge from a height standpoint” quote about Tua Tagovailoa—“the most word you can use to say someone is short.”
- The panel riffs on Mark Schlereth lavishing praise on Julian Hill, Miami’s lightly regarded third tight end.
Stugotz: “All my Dolphin fans friends [got] angry for how much he was praising Julian Hill… He’s a big part of their run.” (02:54–03:03)
3. Ben Johnson’s Shirtless Stunt & "Free Glizzies" for Chicago
Timestamps: 03:56 – 04:47
- Viral sports moment: Bears coach Ben Johnson takes his shirt off after a win so that Chicago’s Wiener Circle will give the city free hot dogs (“glizzies”).
- JuJu questioned the logic—was it just because it was cold?
Dan: “He took his shirt off so that the whole city could get free hot dog. Free glizzies for the city, man. Come on.” (04:39–04:47)
- The panel jokes about why shirtlessness is a fan demand and polls if every fan really wants to see their hero topless.
4. Top Five Plays of the Weekend: JuJu’s List
Timestamps: 05:25 – 10:10
JuJu and Dan break down five NFL (and slightly adjacent) plays that were honestly ridiculous or pivotal.

- Key defensive recoveries, referee miscues, and gutcheck touchdowns
- Mike: “Winning’s an attitude, Dan.” (05:57)
- They lampoon referee mistakes:
Dan: “Referees. Liars. I’m just gonna put that out there, bro. Most referees are liars.” (09:09–09:20)
- Dan on field positioning calls:
“Ain’t no way in hell, bro, you gonna tell me you were standing by the touchdown and you saw that this punt went out of bounds on the 43 and a half yard line? Sir, you, sir, are a liar.” (09:21–09:38)

5. Lane Kiffin, Nostradamus Moments & the College Football Digressions
Timestamps: 11:03 – 12:42
- Panel lambastes Lane Kiffin’s career volatility and the American media’s obsession with him:
Dan: “When did Lane Kiffin start mattering?...Put his…championships in the box. Shake them up. I don’t hear a damn thing, man.” (11:28–11:54)
- Jeremy draws a sharp parallel:
“Is Lane Kiffin the Jimmy Butler of college football? Where the highs are so high… but ultimately…the way it ends is always in flames.” (12:14–12:32)

6. Coolest Names in (Pro) Football: JuJu & Dan’s List
Timestamps: 13:09 – 15:31

Dan: “Number three, Equanimous St. Brown…Number two, Kool Aid McKinstry...Number one, the coolest name in the NFL right now. Divine Diablo.” (14:55–15:31)
