Episode Overview

This episode of the Postgame Show features Dan Le Batard, Stugotz, Greg Cote, Roy, Chris Cody, Jeremy, and Mike, in their signature freewheeling fashion. The group dives into the sports weekend’s most absurd moments, debates the logic of quarterback ratings, celebrates a streaming milestone, and revels in Greg Cote’s unique “happen to know” tidbits. As always, the banter is rapid-fire, self-deprecating, and infused with South Florida flavor.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Quarterback Ratings Confusion

• The crew balks at the QBR (Quarterback Rating) system, highlighting a bizarre stat: spiking the ball every play earns a QBR of 39.6—higher than some actual QB performances.
• Dan cites: “Per Bleacher Report, JJ McCarthy’s Vikings QBR in Week 12 was 34.2...if you spiked it every play, it’s 39.6. So what are we doing?” (01:40-02:02)
• Jeremy and Greg Cody mock QBR:
  • Greg: “This is so bang on stupid. I’m so glad someone stepped and said it.” (02:34)
• The gang questions the logic of rating systems, concluding that turnovers kill your score more than sheer incompetence.

2. 100 Million Streams: Show Milestone

• The show celebrates reaching 100 million streams on Spotify in the past year.
• Roy: “100 million is obviously a lot...and it’s just Spotify.” (03:22)
• Gentle ribbing as Greg Cody brags about a similar (much smaller) milestone for his own podcast.
