Dan Le Batard
Welcome to the Big Sui presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show, the podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBatard podcast?
Stugotz
I'm sorry.
Dan Le Batard
I'm not gonna apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging. I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys. I've done it. And now here's the marching man to Nowhere Fat Face and the Habitual liar.
Chris
This episode of the Dan Lebatard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours, Roy.
Dan Le Batard
Can I get a burnt hand update, please?
Stugotz
Ooh, it's looking pretty good. I thought it was gonna be a lot worse. There's not really much damage to be shown here.
Chris
You see that thing?
Dan Le Batard
Look at that.
Chris
Where's the actual burn?
Stugotz
All four fingers right here.
Dan Le Batard
Oh, the tips and the thumb.
Stugotz
Yeah, it's on the tips, but not really much damage.
Dan Le Batard
All right, Congratulations.
Stugotz
You got out of it unscathed.
Dan Le Batard
All right, so, yes, you. You blamed not unscathed because you blamed your wife for burning your hand.
Tony
Yeah, I did.
Dan Le Batard
And I assume that when you got home, you did not return to unscathed. I'm assuming all that gets back to her, does it not? You think she listens to the show? No, not her. It just gets back through sources. No, no, luckily. Okay, congratulations on that because it was one of the most offensive things I've seen anyone do around here. Blame your wife for your burnt hand. So I wish someone would bring that back to her, and I wish it would cause you Trouble at home? Why? Because you blamed your wife instantaneously. Because you came in with a burnt hand. When you're an adult human being responsible for your own actions and you said it was something she said that annoyed me. I'm sure you couldn't even remember it.
Stugotz
I understand that, but why are you trying to wreck my marriage?
Dan Le Batard
Dan not trying to wreck your marriage.
Tony
You did say you hoped that he got home and there was trouble in.
Dan Le Batard
His marriage because it'd be content. I'd like the content.
Tony
It's his life. He has a child. You want the child to come from a broken home. For content is a job.
Dan Le Batard
I don't want the home to break. I think that they could withstand it through the love in their marriage.
Stugotz
Well, my life is content for the show. So yeah, I guess you're right.
Dan Le Batard
Okay. And you burnt your hand and now you're fine. And so even that content was a lie because they lie. What? You don't have any blisters. No one. Did you guys have. Look at his hand, Chris, and tell me you see anything.
Chris
It'd be hard to tell.
Stugotz
It was close.
Chris
Like if you said to me where in my hand was I burned? I can't tell by looking. And you need to be able to tell if it's a real burn mark.
Dan Le Batard
Anyway, I feel like before I get to Dolphins talk, because I did want to talk to Chris about how he feels, they will turn every running back into the in the league into a 200 yard back. Everyone. Every week against the Dolphins, if they want to run for 200 yards, you can tell them that that's what you're going to do. You could do it with your backup lineman. You could do it for a bad Carolina team. You could do it with two offensive linemen out. Whoever your running back is, he will have 23 carries for 200 yards. It doesn't matter who you put back there every week.
Stugotz
The Baltimore RA are standing in your historically bad defense argument because that team is shite.
Dan Le Batard
I saw the stat given yesterday on the Ravens that there's $280 million in salary cap and 160 million of it is out for the Ravens. They gave up 37 points again yesterday. That's historically bad. There are a couple of things in the sport that have been historically bad because already over the first month of the season the Lions are on the verge of being a team that aver 33 points last year and now more than that this year. And if they did that, not since the 1941 Bears has anyone had an offense that scores 37 by accident because on a bad day in Cincinnati, they'll turn you over three times and they'll feel like they left 20 points on the field.
Billy
I saw that stat live during the game and I was like, damn. Okay, so I guess they're better without Ben Johnson.
Dan Le Batard
They're the best offense in the league point total wise. And they got great field position in that game because Browning is a turnover machine. Browning and the Raiders are something that you see can nuke the entire architecture. Even if you're Pete Carroll, if your quarterback turns the ball over eight times, I mean, if it's Jackson Dart, you're going to lose at the Saints because you turned it over five times. And I thought. I thought that that's how all young quarterbacks look. I don't trust any of those on the road, but Jayne Daniels has moved all of that. And CJ Stroud every week has us going. Well, what happened there? You're 24. You're 24 years old. Is it over for you?
Chris
He got mad at everyone. He's like, you guys just. I was trying to be fun and light and you guys took it in. It's like you said, you're old like you said it.
Dan Le Batard
He said he looked at high school tape of himself and what he noticed is, oh, look, the ravages of football. They'll slow the body down.
Chris
And then he's like, why would you guys take that and run with it? I barely said anything.
Dan Le Batard
The game from yesterday that I actually want to talk about. We'll get back to the Dolphins tomorrow. They really don't deserve our attention.
Billy
Somebody does though, Dan. Somebody does.
Dan Le Batard
Eh?
Stugotz
Forget about Tua.
Billy
He wasn't even the star of the show. The star of the show was the guy on the broadcast. What was up with him? Did you hear him? He was very excited. It was the first time he had called a game. I think his name is Collins. He does the Hornets broadcast.
Chris
Eric Collins.
Billy
Eric Collins. He was a little bit disorienting. He was very excited. I wasn't ready for that level of excitement. I wasn't ready for the Hispanic. Rico.
Chris
We have a montage of his work yesterday.
Dan Le Batard
Tango by Lara has waddle. He's open. Touchdown. And look at him. What kind of speed do you get, young man?
Stugotz
To the end zone.
Dan Le Batard
Achan did he dead. Look at this. Dono still on his feet. Caught back in the end zone. Xavier Le it. Tunga Maloa got his fan. Touchdown. Waller Young caught it's horn. Bryce Young got his big touchdown. Thirteen down goes Tangarelloa.
Chris
That's fun. You didn't like that Third and ten. Wait, you don't. You're negative on that.
Billy
I love that I was negative on it. I was just disoriented by it when it was happening during the game. I was like, man, he's really excited for a second.
Chris
Instead, Gus Johnson vibes.
Tony
Yeah. I was gonna say, this is just where I think we all are in life right now. Because when Gus Johnson was doing this, like, eight years ago, everyone's like, this is awesome. I love this energy. Now this guy's doing like, oh, God, calm down. So happy about World sucks.
Dan Le Batard
There were a couple of great catches in that game. I mean, Leggette and Achan had great catches, but you have to dress up the game a little bit, don't you? If there was it Schlereth. Is that their fifth broadcast? What is that? Is that their fourth broadcast? No, but if I say national, it's down there. If I say, hey, you got Carolina Dolphins this week. That's. Schlerith is what, the fourth team or.
Chris
We don't have to count numbers. They're pretty low down.
Stugotz
He was hilarious on that call.
Dan Le Batard
I love that Schlereth doesn't give a bleep and has fun and has more fun than most of the broadcasters. But he's working with, you know, his 40th partner here, and this guy swaggers into the booth and he's like, watch this. I got a little Latin flair and a little Gus Johnson for you. And man 101 wants to slap him with six of his dead fingers in the face because he's like another one of these turds coming around here trying to mess up the broadcast. Honor football, young man. Honor the sport down there. We're calling Carolina, and we're. We're expecting five minutes left in the game. We're expecting a tour over.
Stugotz
No, no one expected that game being featured on Red Zone as much as it was right. I think it's more of a testament to how bad the 1pm slate was. But I saw way too much of that game for my liking. On Red Zone, man.
Chris
Just what was the best one we had? Eagles. Broncos. That was like, the good stuff.
Stugotz
Guts.
Dan Le Batard
No, no, no. Patriots, Bills, like Drake. May's good and.
Stugotz
Oh, yeah, but we were. No, I'm talking about that 1pm slate witching hour. Even Scott Hanson was like, we got some work cut out ahead of us.
Dan Le Batard
So Denver beats the Eagles. Eagles could be 05. That one's funny because close games in that league and I Saw that the stat on Jalen Hurts is 10 and a half home games, zero interceptions. They just hold the ball, beat you up, beat you up. And it's like new football. Lions and Eagles gonna punch in the face all the way down the field. And we're gonna do it with Dan Campbell's mentality. And it's. And. And they've got the most physical teams in the league. And from behind them, here's Baker Mayfield galloping around on a stallion, trying to throw a rope at like, oh, Sam Darnold. Really? You're gonna match me stat for stat as we're gonna light up the skies. And Baker's gonna take it from me at the end because SA Sam Darnold doesn't matter.
Stugotz
Who's out is worth ever going to play for me. My franchise's greatest receiver is out. Bucky Irving, an absolute dog in the backfield.
Dan Le Batard
Out.
Stugotz
Doesn't matter. Best defense in the league. Cross country road trip. Doesn't matter. Baker Mayfield, mvp.
Chris
You mentioned roping. I bet Baker Mayfield could rope a boat.
Dan Le Batard
For sure. It is really cool to watch Baker Mayfield. I remember this show arguing right as the Cleveland Browns like swallowed him up. Just bad organization swallows up a dude who wants it so badly. The Browns I saw Yesterday have gone 10 straight games scoring 17 or fewer points. Like trying to get a quarterback, trying to get Johnny Manziel going with Joe Flacco and then losing inexplicably a game to lead off your Sunday where Carson Wentz does something no one's done since the year 2000. Nine for nine on a drive. That's the Brady era in there. No one has been as good on a late drive than he was. When Myles Garrett is gassed and sitting on his helmet, they got to call timeouts for Miles Garrett because he's tired of chasing Carson Wentz all over another country. For this shit Browns team.
Stugotz
It was really important you knocked off those 11 seconds on the drive before Stefanski.
Dan Le Batard
Myles Garrett is exhausted. Couldn't get it wasn't even about blocking him. I don't know what the hell they did to Myles Garrett. He. They were calling timeouts so Miles Garrett could sit down. Why? Because Carson Wentz was eating right down the field against the best defense in the league. Browns, there goes your season. Because we've got Justin Jefferson 9 for 9. No quarterback has done it since 2000. That's the pretty years in there. Carson Wentz goes right down the field. Those two teams don't matter. They don't matter.
Stugotz
Vikings could matter.
Dan Le Batard
Vikings matter a Little bit. Where are you putting them?
Billy
Wild card adjacent?
Stugotz
Could be I'll be playing meaningful games in December.
Dan Le Batard
Good roster. All right, wait a minute.
Stugotz
You don't think they'll be playing meaningful full games in December?
Dan Le Batard
Okay, good roster. I don't want to go any further. I do not want to take one step further. Okay. Not one. Without talking about that Arizona game.
Stugotz
Oh, thank God.
Dan Le Batard
Because I. I have failed in not talking about the difference in that league between. Between winning games and losing games and the difference between being three and one or two and two. The idea that the Arizona Cardinals lost a football game yesterday, and I am saying here out loud that not since the Vikings won a playoff game on the last play against the Saints have I been more surprised to see a team lose a game in the last 15 years of football than watching the way that Arizona lost this particular game against the Titans. Who had Cam Ward throw an interception for a touchdown. That's the biggest touchdown for his team that. Yes, yes, yes, yes. No, let me. I'm going to try it again. I know. I'm going to try this again. Look, I wrote down on notes where one of those foot. I've never seen this.
Stugotz
He threw a touchdown to Tyler Lockett.
Dan Le Batard
He threw a touchdown to Tyler Lockett. And these are the notes on that play that I have. Cam Ward dropped back to pass for what might be the single import most important pass that he's thrown this season because that team was headed to 05. Didn't deserve to win this football game. Won this football game. Only because. Only because. When Arizona was up 21 to 6 with Amari DeMarcusado this Caravo.
Stugotz
Yes. Keep going.
Dan Le Batard
He goes 71 yards with the football and then right before the goal line casually lays it out. And it is not a touchdown. And instead of being up 28 to 6, the Arizona Cardinals lost a game yesterday that. I think it might be the most inexplicable loss I have seen in 25 years watching football because of how the Titans did not deserve to win this game. But Cam Ward's game winning interception. No, this is what it was. It was clutch by Cam Ward. Cam Ward gets his first win. Spencer rattler took him 10. Kam Ward gets his first win because they're hard to come by no matter how much descarrado throws the football game away.
Stugotz
You think Jonathan Gannon's helping the situation?
Dan Le Batard
He had no reaction.
Stugotz
What do you mean he had no reaction? Throw up the video again. This is courtesy of local news. DeMarcado feeling terrible about what happened Couldn't feel worse. Gannon. Yeah, no, let's strike the player. I'm sure that'll fix things.
Dan Le Batard
I thought that guy's been hiding a suppressed rage behind the stoicism of having to coach that mountain of shit out in Arizona every year.
Stugotz
I think they've lost every game by a field goal at the end, right?

Dan Le Batard
Football, football.
Stugotz
Football, football, football. This is the D Levatar show with the stuff.
Dan Le Batard
If you do not know how they lost this football game, what I'm saying to you is a football player who would have given them a 28 to 6 lead. Decarado dropped the football again a week after it just happened.
Chris
Debatable. I thought it was a touchdown.
Stugotz
This is a tough break. Got a tough break.
Dan Le Batard
A stupidity that should never happen again in the history of football and yet happened two two weeks ago and happens again today. Goes from 28 to 6 to we're going to lose the football game because of the play I'm about to describe. I had to write it down and I had to rewind it six times to make sure I got all of this right. Cam Ward drops back to pass and it hits a hand, one hand tipped at the line of scrimmage of a Cardinal. Then it is caught by the two hands of another Cardinal who drops to the ground and then tries to get up running and the ball squirts out. Whereupon it hits the one hand of one Cardinal, that foot of that same one hand and then the other hand of the other Cardinal before it hits the hand and the two feet of another Cardinal and ends up in a touchdown for Tyler Lockett. Whereupon I remember that Tyler Lockett had gone to the Titans to help Cam Ward because he hasn't made a play for him all season.
Stugotz
You went to the equipment manager and he's like, save that ball. I saw that you can't advance a fumble, but since the ball went backward. Touchdown Titans.
Chris
How do we coach out of the game the dropping the ball before the end zone? You coach them run through the end zone with the ball, I'm sure. Drop that ball until you are through the end zone.
Stugotz
That's right.
Chris
No, I don't mean that first line. You run through the like the back of the end.
Stugotz
I was so. I hate watching the Titans because I love Cam Cameron Ward so much and I feel like he's betrayed left and right by his receivers and his head coach, Brian Callahan does not deserve to have that victory. Deciding to not go for two in that spot, I mean, what is he doing? I know what you're doing there, Paul. But there were some absolute. Yes. Cameron Ward very fortunate to get that first dub. Let's not forget there were some absolute dots that were thrown all over that field. Cameron Ward made plays for that team, I think. Look, we rattled off the stats of how Will Leviss got off to a more impressive start in his career. It is rare for a team to be this bad with a quarterback taking number one where everyone watching knows problems on the qb. They got to help the guy out.
Tony
Kyler Murray also turned the ball over on a snap that hit him in the face and might have sent him into concussion protocol.
Chris
They're claiming that was a leg injury.
Stugotz
Dan.
Billy
I was Jason Garrett turning to the, to the tv.
Dan Le Batard
I was like, well, Tony, I've got to salute you on this, okay? Because I'm not out on Kyler Murray. But I. Look, you talk about an unprecedented day for me because it hasn't. I have not in 20 years. Said the U is back. But this is what I am willing to say about the Arizona, Arizona Cardinals. They're just losers. Like you lose a game like that. Like you, you don't understand how stupid it is that the Tennessee Titans won that football game. The Tennessee Titans were terrible that entire game. And they've just got Cam Ward running around in circles trying to make plays across his body. He's got to throw the ball across his body like no other quarterback in his league. Calvin Ridley was spent three years ago and he needs help. I'm not joking when I tell you name the nominees on 25 years you've been watching football and one of you tell me you saw the Arizona Titans game and have seen anything like that where you get. You get three fluke plays. Like just randomly fluke plays. Cam Ward lost the football game at the end. It was a bad interception. All you've got to do is fall on the floor and stay there. That's all. You don't have to do anything else. And a game where Geno Smith's career is over because he's throwing too many interceptions in a game where the turnover is the most valuable of possessions. If I tell you right now something happened in that Colts game where both kickers got hurt. The punter first of all getting a punt blocked when you're in full like that, I'm surprised more legs don't snap and just End up in the bleachers.
Billy
So what happened to me, dude? If I would have had that last kick, Dan, my leg would have gone over the house in the back, 50 yards back.
Dan Le Batard
Both kickers got hurt. And my immediate reaction was, I wonder if any of these coaches would take those 15 yards right now in the first quarter because the rest of the game, they can't use their kicker. They can't use. They're going to have to go for two every time. I thought that immediately. If the game is predicated on you cannot turn the ball over. The Arizona Cardinals had it twice in their hands and all they had to do was not move, go into full rigor mortis. Just don't drop the football. No one is going to touch the football. No one's going to bother you. All you had to do was that twice. I don't think you'll find a game in the last 25 years that you can counter me that with. What are you laughing about, Chris?
Chris
You're right. I'm trying to think.
Dan Le Batard
Because the game would have been 28 to 6 and they were running away with it. There was. The Titans were ready to go home. It's hard to travel. The body hurts. Cam Ward would have been fine going 28, 6. Okay, you can have it, Arizona. We're not. We're not going to fight back. We're not going to fight you on this. It was clear. It was clearly that decisive. I have not. Cleveland lost a game that way yesterday, too. Like, I don't when the Cleveland Browns had a chance with Miles Garrett, who resigned there to save their season in a game that in every way they had won because Carson Wentz's offensive line is banged up and it's Carson Wentz. And with. With all mathical mathematical improbabilities against them all, Carson Wentz had the best drive that there's in 20 years at the end of a game, in 25 years at the end of a game in this sport. And it just kicks off your football Sunday.
Stugotz
And that's a crazy stat because I feel like I've seen four very recent Baker Mayfield games where he's doing that down, down the stretch. But that pass in the end zone, the ball placement there, that was almost as astonishing as the still image of Carson Wentz meeting Dylan Gabriel at midfield. And you realize Dylan Gabriel's very, very small. It was probably a bad draft.
Billy
Wentz is huge.
Dan Le Batard
This part. So this part's funny, Tony. When I'm watching the University of Miami, yes, Carson Wentz was the highest paid quarterback in the league. And Dylan Gabriel is never going to be because he can't throw the ball more than 10 yards downfield. He'll play one of these games where.
Stugotz
He gets an arm. That's why, that's why he got drafted. Like, he's got a strong arm. He's just, he's just small. But Dan, to your point, it has to look a certain way. And when you're that short, playing in that uniform with the dude backing you up that everybody else wants to see, it just doesn't feel it. I have decades of experience being a Browns fan, Dylan Gabriel thing, I don't think it's gonna work out.
Chris
I mean, even watching Panthers, Dolphins, you see these two little quarterbacks and you watch Sunday Night Football. Josh Allen, even Drake May looks good. You're just like, this is what it should look like. Why am I watching Panthers, Dolphins, it's.
Stugotz
Gotta look a certain way.
Chris
Drake May, he had that one move.
Billy
He had a good move, though.
Dan Le Batard
Dan.
Billy
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna be a total hater. He had that one good move reshuffle. I think it was a defensive event. Out of his shoes and scored a touchdown.
Stugotz
Great. But the only way to overcompensate that is if you have an eight foot moxie and cock the way that Baker Mayfield has.
Dan Le Batard
Yeah. This is one of the things that's going to be in play as it relates to Baker Mayfield. I want to talk about that for a second. But first, let's get our nominees here. Chris Cody on Hampton Farms and the nuttiest Fan. I'm nominating Michael Irvin as University of Miami mascot. I'm nominating all of his histrionics.
Chris
Let's build up. Let's build up to that. It's the Nuttiest Fan brought to you by Hampton Farms. Get nutty with Hampton Farms Farms, the official peanut of bowl season. Vote for your favorite nutty fan at Lebatar show on Instagram. And be sure to keep an eye out for Lucy at Auburn if you think you are your team's nuttiest fan. First nominee, a sad shark leaving Chapel Hill down 35 to 3. Just not going well for Bill Belichick. And this shark decided to wear a shark costume and then was like, you know what? I'm out of here.
Dan Le Batard
I got some breaking news for you guys. According to Ross Martin of 247-Sports, the University of North Carolina staff has been directed by Bill Belichick not to post or repost anything related to the Patriots, which explains why there Were no posts about Drake Mays performance Sunday night in the win over Buffalo, per Ross Martin of 247-Sports.
Chris
Not a good look.
Dan Le Batard
Well, not a good look, but also amazing to watch. The pettiness of Bill Belichick at North Carolina as the Patriots have now regrouped. It'll be one of his players variable who brings them back because, oh, look, they hit on the quarterback. The North Carolina kid we all thought was a top five prospect while he was at North Carolina. And now North Carolina can't even celebrate it because they got it because they got Belichick on their hand.
Chris
Our second nominee for nuttiest fan by Hampton Farms is. Are these Ohio State fans. Someone's got to explain this to me. They're at some point all. I guess they're at the shoe. They're all taking their shoes off and lifting their shoes in the air. This seems ridiculous, but they're all doing it at once. That had to be a smelly section, am I right?
Dan Le Batard
What is that? What is the history of that?
Chris
It's the shoe, Dan.
Dan Le Batard
It's just the shoe.
Chris
They all take their shoes off and then we build up our third nominee. We've already celebrated some of his antics with the belt. This is Michael Irvin with an FSU fan. After the game, Miami's a.
Dan Le Batard
You still taking your ass home with that long story. Miami, go home. Grab that grease. Get in your room. You got me. You got me, bro. You got me, bro. You got me, bro. You got me, bro. You got me. You taking home that defeat and you busting up Mary. Those five fake. Yo, that's legendary.
Chris
The fan. That's legendary.
Billy
Michael had time for him.
Chris
I love that because that was heated.
Dan Le Batard
It.
Chris
You knew it wasn't going to get physical. It was just good, friendly banter between fan bases.
Dan Le Batard
I don't know. Did he know it wasn't gonna get physical?
Chris
I think both of those. I mean, obviously the FSU guy wasn't gonna do anything. I think Michael Irvin was under control there. Just giving. That's under control. Just giving him the business. I never thought he was gonna hit him. Never thought he was gonna hit him.
Stugotz
It's late at night. How does he. How does he still have this energy? Hey, Jeremy, old buddy. Ol pal.
Dan Le Batard
Hey, Mike.
Stugotz
I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. You and I have bonded over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Lite.
Dan Le Batard
That's right.
Stugotz
A great partner of our show for practically its entire existence.
Billy
It's been a partner of this show since I was 10 years old, and.
Stugotz
It'S been around for 50 years, and they've been a part of our show for almost 20. We're approaching incredible partner status with Miller Lite.
Billy
I mean, to think that people were celebrating at my bar mitzvah with Miller.
Dan Le Batard
Lite as they were a partner of.
Billy
This show is pretty incredible.
Stugotz
You're talking about the moments that are made better by making those times, those special times. Miller time. Jeremy, there's nothing like cracking open Miller Lite with your crew this football season. It's especially true. Whether it's a touchdown you didn't see coming or just arguing about fantasy lineups you already know you're gonna lose. Miller Lite has been the taste you can depend on for 50 years. Brewed for flavor with simple ingredients, rich toffee notes, that iconic golden color. And here's a kicker. Jeremy.
Dan Le Batard
What's that?

Dan Le Batard
Don LeBatard if Daniel Day Lewis did it, you'd be jerking off all over yourself. Oh, come on.
Stugotz
Yeah, I would be.
Dan Le Batard
Aggressive description. I mean, what is it? What is that? I'm just saying.
Stugotz
That's.
Dan Le Batard
Just saying what?
Stugotz
That's me. I see that photo of Daniel Day Lewis looking like Lincoln before he's about to start filming. Lincoln. And you know what I do Amin stugats. I jerk off all over myself. That's what I do.
Dan Le Batard
Lincoln, who you outed the other day.
Stugotz
Don'T make this a rejoin.
Dan Le Batard
This is the Dan Levatar show with a Stuart Got.
Tony
Are we still living in a world where you can assume that famous former football players just aren't going to attack you?
Chris
That's fair.
Tony
Mark Sanchez.
Dan Le Batard
Yes. Okay, you guys, I didn't know what to do with that story because this is how that story came out. So which Mark Sanchez was in Indianapolis for Colts? Raiders. The Raiders season is a disaster. Pete Carroll regrets coming back. What am I doing with my life? Geno Smith's not going to fix this I'm not going to be able to fix. What plagues the Raiders. The story that comes out during the Football Sunday Mark Sanchez stabbed in stable condition. So there's an outpouring of worry for Mark Sanchez, former USC quarterback. The best thing the jets have had at quarterback this century. The jets are the worst. They're 0 and 5. They had 13 missed tackles in the first half yesterday and when Dallas was trying to run out the clock just to run out the ball to halftime, they allowed a 70 yard run because the jets are just awful. They the last three coaches are 0 and 3 to start the season and this is the worst of them and he starts 0 and 5 because the jets are a sinking pit and Justin Fields and nobody there is going to fix that. Anything? No disputes. Case closed.
Billy
Sounds good for me.
Dan Le Batard
Can we put them in the file?
Stugotz
Let's keep getting those Garrett Wilson overs though. We like those.
Dan Le Batard
But we could just put that off to the side and finish the jets season yesterday. Correct. We're all done. Everybody, everybody. There will be no coming back from that. So then all of us, there was an outpouring for Mark Sanchez, but then the next thing that happened was reports Mark Sanchez has been arrested. And so what I thought was good God, how has he been stabbed in a fight? What happened at a nightclub, what drunkenness was there? There's just information that he's been stabbed. What are details here? The next thing is the police report is oh, he's not a victim here necessarily. He's not in the police report as a victim. And now he's being arrested at the airport. What happened here? And then the detail I get this morning is 69 year old truck driver. And so now I only have these small bits of information on whatever was happening in an alley in Indianapolis late at night. But then there's oh, and then pepper spray is one of the details too that Mark Sanchez had been pepper sprayed. And that's the only information I have on what happened in a dark alley that ends with Mark Sanchez being stabbed.
Stugotz
There are details that are still coming out. Again, this is all alleged, but there was an altercation that happened in a loading dock. Mark Sanchez allegedly took exception to how this delivery driver was parking, invoked the manager wouldn't want you to be there, attacked the 69 year old. Which by the way, there are some photos that have surfaced online of the condition that that victim is in.
Dan Le Batard
We don't want to watch any of those.
Stugotz
Our picture is brutal. It is hard to look at. The man apparently def himself attempted to pepper Spray Mark Sanchez, which according to what's out there for the moment, stopped him. But then Mark Sanchez went again to attack the man who then defended himself. And yeah, thankfully I did a cursory search before and I found it very odd that Mark Sanchez wasn't the listed victim on this, which gave people pause. Pause. And I'm sure some people in the media regret not displaying initially because the takes were a fly in to Dan Mark Sanchez.
Dan Le Batard
Well, we do this one all the time though. Just make all of these people who are many different things, we turn them into one thing that we know and put them in the easy compartment. I am assuming that in his broadcast career people feel like they know Mark Sanchez. They saw his career at usc, they saw him be great for the jets as a broadcaster. He's got it all together. And I have no idea what happened in an Alley at 3:30 in the morning in Indianapolis that involved pepper spray. And I assume that if there was a stabbing, I assume like a bunch box cutter. My mind can go in all places of imagination. But Mark Sanchez is in stable condition at the hospital because he too was harmed by whatever it is that happened in this alley.
Stugotz
When you see the arrest details too, public intoxication was among the things that were listed. So you know that there were some other things at play here.
Tony
He allegedly tried to force his way into the guy's truck. The guy pepper sprayed him, ran away, he chased him down and then he got it's obviously. And also by the way, while he was clearly wrong in attacking an old man, you're not happy that he got stabbed. And you do hope that he has a speedy recovery. Even though obviously he seems to have been the aggressor in this situation.
Billy
And the details are bad too. When you hear that the truck driver who's 69 years old, takes down and turns down his hearing aids because the truck is really loud in the alley. So I think the dispute was Mark Sanchez was trying to talk to him. He couldn't hear him because he didn't have his hearing aids in. And that's kind of how things got.
Chris
Allegedly.
Stugotz
Allegedly. Detective, Tony's on it.
Dan Le Batard
I read.
Tony
Well, this is kind of crazy, huh?
Dan Le Batard
Well, it's like what? Okay, so here we are now, Tony.
Chris
Find out more.
Dan Le Batard
All avoidable.
Stugotz
Tony of Spiro Deeds was just where he was supposed to thank you.
Billy
Exactly right.
Stugotz
CBS game.
Billy
Exactly right.
Stugotz
Some people were calling this one out beforehand. It's a Fox game. This doesn't make sense. That should be Spearo.
Tony
Loading docks are weird, right? They are like they're not a uniform height for some reason. If they. Well, like some loading docks are not tall enough for the trucks that are bringing in deliveries.
Chris
I thought they're all designed for like 18 wheelers.
Tony
You would think, right? But like I don't know if you guys drive here, but in the morning sometimes there's often trucks making deliveries and they just take up one lane of traffic because the loading dock in a new building only has like 15 foot clearance. And I guess this thing's like 18 or 19ft tall. Which I don't understand why you don't have like a universal height for loading docks. Docks which then lead to traffic jams. And you know, I don't know if that's what was at play here. I'm not going to look to excuse anyone's obviously horrible behavior. But you do wonder if that had a higher maybe clearance, maybe this would have been avoided.
Billy
It is a weird thing to get hung up on where he's like, hey, you got to move this truck bro. And it's like at like three in the morning.
Tony
But yeah, you're walking around like. And at first it was a door dash driver. I mean that was a massive order if he was driving an 18 wheeler.
Dan Le Batard
So Billy, this. I do imagine that wherever it is that your life gets busy on the weekend weekend because the fatherhood is hard. I would imagine that you would do some really pretty rigorous sleuthing about wherever your imagination would take you. Once you get the details of stabbing and now arrested to what happened in that alley. When you throw a 69 year old truck driver into the mix. I think we all went the same places with our imagination on being. Oh, that's too bad for Mark Sanchez. I wonder what happened, what kind of drinking was involved, who'd he get into a fight with to he's been arrested. So wait a minute, what are the details here? Why is. Why is a man.
Chris
You see the photos, you're like Jesus.
Dan Le Batard
So, so what? What? And so then after that everyone's like, well if he's pepper sprayed now we're just wondering about substances or whatever, whatever it is that the mind will do in the imagination of what happened in that Indianapolis alley at 3 o' clock in the morning. Is that fair?
Stugotz
It is when public intoxication is one of the things that are listed for us to peruse. These are not the actions of someone of a clear mind. If we're to believe what's in the reports. That is shocking behavior for Mark Sanchez, which is why the takes were flying. Because Surely no one in their minds could concoct this situation if I told you this ahead of time. It's like a random name generator with random violence. It doesn't. It doesn't compute.
Chris
Tony will continue to gather.
Tony
It's also very rare where the person who was stabbed multiple times was very clearly in the wrong here.
Dan Le Batard
And I don't know about you guys, but when it comes to how it is America sells its football and Tom Brady is the. Is the most expensive guy because he smiles and he'll interview your receiver after the game. Mark Sanchez carved a lane through New York media of being not one of these great quarterbacks, but a poster boy for USC football. A poster boy boy for winning. And the most successful jets quarterback that there's been in 25 years. And I still imagine him more as somebody in a suit walking around as a broadcaster because his post career. As I get to live off the fame of being a former quarterback, I. For some reason visually, when my imagination was thinking on these details very glancingly, I'm imagining him in his broadcast gear. Cause I've seen him more in a suit than I have in a uniform recently.
Stugotz
There goes the one Latino Fox during Hispanic Heritage Month.
Dan Le Batard
You guys got me though. With all the guys they got on baseball. Pedro and Big Papi. They flooded the zone. They flooded the zone. You might came back with Hector Gomez as the big Latin personality. That's get to flourish throughout the media these days. How many seasons can we be done with the Browning experiment in Cincinnati? Everything there is over. And it will all build be built on whatever Joe Burrow's body can withstand later. So he can make T. Higgins look Jamar Chase and T. Higgins can only look that way for Burrow. They don't. Browning will throw three interceptions a game. Can't have that anymore. That doesn't work in today's league. Like that was. That was very. Maybe get you to the playoffs in a game, slinging it one day. But we don't play that way anymore, kid.
Billy
It's almost like they should like try to trade for somebody else to salvage a little bit of the season.
Dan Le Batard
Maybe it's over. Okay? No. Yeah. I mean they had to outscore people with Burrow last year and they could not. Yeah. Look, I think we can bury some things after this. First the season.
Billy
We got jets already. We wrote down Jets.
Stugotz
I had Hercules Gonzalez. I didn't know who Hector Gomez was as. As fate would have it, he is a former baseball player, but not presently in media.
Dan Le Batard
Okay, thank you for bailing me out. There. Yes. Hector. Hector Gomez. You're good, though, But I know. I don't think I should be good there, though.
Stugotz
I think Hercules Gomez. Hector Gomez.
Billy
I was gonna say you said Hercules Gonzalez.
Stugotz
Hercules. Well, look, I guess we're all in the wrong here. And this is. This actually underscores why there needs to be more representation.
Dan Le Batard
So Schleidler is a name that I have seen. The Blue Jays are clubbing the Yankees right now, two straight games. And I meant to mention this the other day, when Cam Schlitler ends up striking out 12, something he hadn't done at any level of baseball for any time he'd ever played, but did it in a game that a couple of times this season. I've been listening on the radio and a broadcaster slips up on Schlitler, which is a scary word, and. And then backtracks and like you can hit a table. Pounded. Like I messed that up. I knew that was going to happen. Schlitler, one of the most dangerous names we've ever had in sports broadcasting. Mad Dog butchered this, I'm told. Let me start here and then we'll get into Schlichter, who obviously was. Was Shitler.
Chris
So he kind of botched it and he's like, I need to resay this.
Dan Le Batard
Let me start here. And then we'll get into Schlichter, who obviously was. Was Shitler.
Stugotz
Let me start here.
Dan Le Batard
And then we'll get into Schlicher, who obviously was Panop. Was Shitler. How about Gronk? What did Gronk mess up this week then? Rookie sensation, wide receiver out of Ohio State. EMA IG Big Boo going for over 100 yards. AM Luca, I'm getting confused. Emeka Ekbeg Boo.
Stugotz
That kid's good.
Dan Le Batard
Emika Ek Big Boo. He's good, man. Baker Mayfield likes throwing like 30 yard darts no one else is throwing.
Stugotz
Emeka Big Boo going for overall.
Dan Le Batard
You guys better learn that name. I just saw a Hall of Famer go to the locker room and this guy took his job. Mike Evans was doing the thousand yard seasons there. He got 12 of them as the freak from the past, from Texas A and M because he was different than everyone else. And, oh, job stolen. Tampa's gotta be legitimately good. That division is terrible. And yeah, Baker Mayfield might have a three turnover game, but I cannot imagine what Carolina Panther fans feel when they see Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield in the stat lines in the fourth quarter of that game. Oh, it's like ping, ping. 35, 35. They're going down the field. Okay. Both of these quarterbacks are going to do it with whoever it is we put out there with them. Because at this point, Baker Mayfield has had a great many injuries for them to go into Seattle. When you saw what Seattle did to the Saints, like, in terms like, Seattle's good. Seattle's obviously a team that is physical and good to go in there and win and sling it out at the end again, because Baker Mayfield's that guy. He might as well play in cowboy boots, man. Like, he's. He might as well have a cigarette back there in terms of how much he's enjoying. Okay, the. Some guys took the Tom Brady, Peyton Manning route of public perception or Mark Sanchez, or however it is. I'm going to present myself to the media and America as face of quarterbacking today. There's only one playing right now that feels and looks like the attitude Farve had when he was the different one with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. There's only one quarterback out there playing like that where it's like, oh, shit, he doesn't care who's with him. Him. He's going to Keep slinging it 25, 30 yards at a time. Go ahead and beat him. You're going to leave him two minutes. That's too much. You've left him too much. He's going to beat you on the road in Seattle. You think your defense is good? No, not. Not as good as this is late in game.
Stugotz
It might be good. It might be best in the league. Good. No matter, because he's got an eight foot.
Dan Le Batard
There's something interesting happening there. Baker Mayfield's had a rough that go on. It's been a rough right. He was this close to being back up, never getting any of these chances anymore. And now he's got the biggest bravado in the league. Like now he does.
Stugotz
Yeah, that bravado is huge. Weighs about 45 pounds.
Dan Le Batard
It's impressive to see a team that we don't think is good as the elite teams. Their quarterback saying again and again on the road, however you want to play the game, yes, we are.
Stugotz
He doesn't have moxy. He has coxy. Hey, Jeremy, old buddy, old pal.
Dan Le Batard
Hey, Mike.
Stugotz
I want to talk to you about Miller Lite. You and I have bought over these last few weeks talking about our shared love of Miller Light.
