  • Stugotz: Still bullish on both Bills and Dolphins.

  • Notes the Dolphins' easy remaining schedule and improved defense.
  • Outlines the Bills’ trade deadline failures—a lack of run game, no key WR acquisition, and mounting pressure on Josh Allen as worrisome.

    • "It’s 20 degrees, so it’s really cold in New Jersey, and we have a lot of deer... Put the trains away, you’re gonna live with the deer.” [12:25, Russini]

• Debates ranking of A.J. Brown vs. other Eagles stars.

---

8. AJ Brown Trade Rumors & Patriots’ Offseason Moves

[26:46–27:55]

• Patriots had limited contact, but a possible fit in the future.

---

  • “I got the President sitting there with freaking Vilma. Break it down. To 2003. Same. I mean, you can’t make this stuff up.” [40:38, Russo]

[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. I'm not going to apologize for that.

[Dan Le Batard]

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.

[Stugotz]

I've done it. And now here's the marching man to.

[Dan Le Batard]

Nowhere Fat Face and the habitual liar.

[Stugotz]

This episode of the Dan Lebatard show is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings. The Crown is yours.

[Greg Cote]

Zaz, I just saw this get up headline. What is the Bill's super bowl window closed?

[Stugotz]

Oh, that's my gimmick.

[Dan Le Batard]

What? They're doing that. They just did it 18 hours after ZAZ. That was super disrespectful yesterday and now ESPN is stealing that.

[Greg Cote]

Whoa.

[Stugotz]

Who's disrespectful?

[Dan Le Batard]

Has the Bills window closed because they because Ed Oliver's out and they can't stop the run.

[Stugotz]

Dan, do you think the Bills are going to super bowl this year?

[Dan Le Batard]

They could. They're one of the best.

[Stugotz]

Of course they go. The Dolphins can too.

[Greg Cote]

Great.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, the Dolphins can't. No, the Dolphins can't.

[Stugotz]

No, they can.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, they can't.

[Diana Rossini]

They can.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, they can't.

[Diana Rossini]

They can.

[Greg Cote]

They can.

[Dan Le Batard]

Ticketically possible they can win the rest of their game.

[Stugotz]

Can.

[Dan Le Batard]

And they can't.

[Stugotz]

They can. Can says is right.

[Dan Le Batard]

They can't.

[Stugotz]

They can.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll at Lebatard show. Bills can't. Bills can't. Dolphins can. Like that's ridiculous. What you're saying Diana Rossini's on With us, senior NFL insider for the athletic and host of the Scoop City podcast. Diana, is the bill's window closed?

[Diana Rossini]

It is not closed, but I'm now very curious about the Dolphins schedule because I'm in Greg's camp here. I think the Dolphins can win the Super Bowl.

[Dan Le Batard]

Come on, you're trolling us.

[Diana Rossini]

Well, look, right, they've got the commanders, an easy schedule.

[Dan Le Batard]

It's the Saints.

[Diana Rossini]

It's got the Saints, but they're, they're.

[Dan Le Batard]

All looking at the Dolphins and saying.

[Diana Rossini]

We'Ve got the Dolphins dealers, they've got the Bengals, the Bucks. All right, the pitch, okay, it's easy that it gets a little harder. Look, anything could happen. The Dolphins defense looked fantastic. Where was that all year last game? As for the Bills, look, I, I think what Zaz's point is, forget, forget the defense that you mentioned. It's the fact that their offense, when they cannot run the ball, nothing good is happening. And teams know this. Teams run the same play. And they had the blueprint to beat the Buffalo Bills, which is stop the run and run the ball on them. Right? And they are unable to do either of those right now. And so that's my concern. And with the trade deadline now passed and then not getting another receiver, even though they tried, they called around, they were in on almost all the ones that were traded. We are now left with Josh Allen trying to make magic, which is what we saw him trying to do, and it's just not enough.

[Dan Le Batard]

How did they get left out at the trade deadline? And is it true, as has been reported, that the Bills made the best of all the offers for Waddle? A one and a three. A one this year and a three next year.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, there was some stuff going on with different teams with Buffalo in terms of the negotiation for how the trade would. Trades would go. I don't know for a fact that the Buffalo Bills gave the Miami Dolphins the best offer. I just know the Miami Dolphins were listening, but they really did not want to move him. They were not trying to move on from Jalen Waddle. So I'm not sure what Brandon Bean would have had to offer for Miami to go, okay, we're in on this. I just know that they had a couple lines in the waters with different teams, with New Orleans, with the Vegas Raiders, with the jacksonvill Jags even. But in the end though, they lost out because either the team that they were talking to really didn't want to move the player or they got beat out by another team or in some cases, this happens a lot they. You get used as a team because, you know, one team really doesn't want to trade with you. So they use that as a way to get another team to. As leverage for another team to pay more. So I think all of that happened, which is why you saw Brandon being so exhausted. Did you see his press conference? I haven't seen a general manager talk about that.

[Dan Le Batard]

Diana. I'm legitimately. I'm legitimately baffled. When I'm not someone who does a lot of this. I assume that people who are invested in their building, the way the builds are, that they're good at their jobs. You can't fail to get a wide receiver for Josh Allen at the trade deadline you're playing for right now. You're not playing for next year or the year after that. This team is viewed as a failure, not unlike the best previous incarnation of the Bills that always collapsed at the end. You have to get Josh Allen a receiver. Can't be that obvious, does that. You can't stop the run. You can't run the ball if James Cook is hurt. And then all of a sudden it's just Dalton Kincaid is all that they can beat you with.

[Diana Rossini]

It's literally the state of the Bills right now. Right? Of what you just defined or how you just laid that out. And you're right. But what are you going to do if you can't get the deal done? Like, the Buffalo Bills weren't the only team that were after players that couldn't get a guy. It just. I hear you. What are you willing to give up? How far are you willing to go? And I think there. There's consequences if you go too far. He was aggressive. The general manager was very aggressive in this. Just, he wasn't able to come up with what he wanted. Which is why you heard in the press conference, him being like, he looked partially tired because it was an exhausting process because he was having so many different conversations, but obviously annoyed. Right? So that tells me he was close on a lot of these things and lost out.

[Dan Le Batard]

I wanna ask you guys before I throw this to Diana, because it was something that baffled me yesterday. So Brian Dayball gets fired. And my reaction was just fairly immediately, why does everyone care about this so much? Like, he started 7 and 2 had Daniel Jones, and when they were healthy, they looked like maybe it would be something. And then they've done nothing but fail since. And then I see a lot of people reacting angrily to you don't do this to Brian Daboll. And I'm just curious before I Throw it to Diana. Why do you think people care about that so much when Brian Dabal's just a guy?

[Stugotz]

Yes, I agree. It's because it's the New York market. If Brian Dabal was just fired from the New Orleans Saints, nobody cares. And we're not talking about it. It's New York. It's why whoever the jets coach is or the next jets coach is going to be disproportionately discussed. I really think that, like, I agree with you, Day Ball is, is an unremarkable NFL coach looking for work. I don't even necessarily agree with the unremarkable part. Like, like, okay, fine, like he is just a guy, but he was doing a, like Jackson Darts having a good season. I, I, and I understand they're 2 and 8. I wouldn't want to change, you know, potentially the offense that he runs next year because they have a new coach. Diana.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, look, the New York market thing, I'm with you, Greg, on it. And sometimes I still think that gets blown out of proportion. Yet look how many people we've seen left leave New York and have success just from the players, right? Like Daniel Jones, Leonard Williams. Maybe this will be Brian Dable's future where he has success outside the Giants. Saquon Barkley. Right. But to Dan, I was with you a little bit from a. No one was surprised that Brian Diem got fired, right? We've been talking about it every single week. I think what happened here was because the quarterback has shown that he is talented and could be the guy here, and the relationship between him and Brian Dable seemed to be the best part of watching this New York Giants team before they collapsed against Denver and lost to Philly and just really started losing against the Niners. I think there was a moment here where you went, okay, if you're the New York Giants and you have the quarterback, what do you want? Well, you want a really good offensive play caller because this kid has potential. Who's a good offensive play car. Oh, Brian Dable. Remember what he did with Josh Allen? Oh, my gosh. Oh, wait, he's our head coach. So I think there was belief that now is the time. The best version of Brian Dable is here. Unfortunately. The reality is Brian is a good offensive coordinator. He is not a great head coach because so much comes with it. And I think that's why in this next chapter of the New York Giants, in terms of what they're going to be looking for, I would lean more towards them searching for a. We talk about this Kind of in a funny tone, but leader of men, right? Someone that is going to hold the best players accountable.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who's that?

[Diana Rossini]

Both sides of the ball.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who's that?

[Diana Rossini]

Well, who's out there? Right? So you've got an Anthony Weaver in Miami who has a really great reputation with his players for being a disciplinarian, yet understanding. You've got a Lou Annorumo who interviewed once before. He's the Colts defensive coordinator. He interviewed for the Giants job. And from what I recall, he. He interviewed very well, and it was close. Brian Gable got the job in the end. Look, Mike Tomlin's name is floating around there right now because we don't know what the future in Pittsburgh will be. I think we have this conversation every year. What happens. He stays in Pittsburgh because that's how they do it. I just think the model for John Mira, like, what he should be looking at in terms of what do I want this to be and look like. I think they need to look at New England. You get the leader of men, and you get the really good offensive coordinator. It doesn't. The answer of just getting the OC as the head coach, you know, from history, doesn't really work out as well. And I think this Giants team needs that. I think they've tried all the other ways. I think this is a time where they need to find the guy that's gonna be the disciplinary again. Cause that's when they've had success.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can I get a ruling from the group here who have raised children? I think I don't have children, so I'm not gonna judge Diana's parenting skills, But I think she's doing something with her kids that some parents might say is not something that you should do. Now. How old are your kids, Diana?

[Diana Rossini]

Four and three.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay. So she has been picking up the phone when they're misbehaving. And this works? Undoubtedly. And she has been threatening that she's about to call Santa Claus.

[Stugotz]

Yeah, that's a good move. That is a good move. That's a good move. Good for you, Diana.

[Diana Rossini]

Is it Zaz. Is it too early?

[Stugotz]

No, Never?

[Dan Le Batard]

No.

[Stugotz]

Is it working?

[Diana Rossini]

It is, but with my children, I have learned it runs out. Like, it only works for a week or two. And then they're like, that's not Santa. That's Grandpa.

[Stugotz]

Okay, so then you move on. Like, maybe next time you say, I'm calling the police.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, wait, wait a minute.

[Greg Cote]

I just said back here, one of my friends, they. To their kid, they always are threatening to call the cops.

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, but you guys.

[Diana Rossini]

No, no. We do that, too. We threaten jail.

[Stugotz]

Good.

[Diana Rossini]

What? Yeah, but. But here's what's starting to happen. When they see the policemen, they get frightened. And you don't want them to be scared of police, because if you think of any scenario of an emergency, they're going to probably be helping our children. Right. So I don't want them to be frightened. Kevin came up with this idea last week, which was putting the children outside, and that's been working.

[Stugotz]

So to live like animals.

[Diana Rossini]

It's 20 degrees, so it's really cold in New Jersey, and we have a lot of deer in our backyard. And we threaten that. That is. That will be their family. Put the trains away. You're gonna live with the deer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, my God. This is horrifying. Okay. This is escalated. This is escalated. Oh, dear.

[Stugotz]

I mean, she had lived with the deer.

[Dan Le Batard]

Frightening. This is. This is escalated. This is far worse than what I thought we were doing, but I think we skipped over a part. Did you say that? There is someone on the line and the kids are yelling, that's not Santa Claus. That's Grandpa.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah. So I always think it would. I want to really be in character. So I will call my brother. I will call my dad. I'll call a man that is available to just be. And I'll be like, hey, just be Santa.

[Greg Cote]

I could be Santa.

[Diana Rossini]

In fact, I feel like that would be a great.

[Dan Le Batard]

This is better.

[Stugotz]

Somebody will end up on the naughty.

[Dan Le Batard]

List if you don't behave. Diana, this is so good. You should absolutely be calling Chris. He will scare the shit out of your kids.

[Diana Rossini]

This is better than the deer.

[Jeremy]

Diane, I think you should go a step further. You create a contact in your phone that is Santa's picture so the kids see it. You flip the phone and say, look who it is.

[Dan Le Batard]

And they're like, oh, my God, so good.

[Greg Cote]

Santa's calling another level.

[Diana Rossini]

What if I just called someone in the NFL and was just like, hey, Coach, can you just be Santa for me right now while you're in between meetings? Like, could you imagine what the response would be? Like, what?

[Stugotz]

Who would you pick?

[Dan Le Batard]

Obviously, Mike McCarthy.

[Stugotz]

No, it's going to be Andy Reid.

[Diana Rossini]

No, Andy Reid would. Andy Reid would do it because he's nice like that and he's busy.

[Dan Le Batard]

I was thinking of somebody who's not busy.

[Diana Rossini]

Call the Titans.

Don LeBatard.

[Diana Rossini]

Daddy says you're doing a live show on the draft. Rick, is it channel 7 stugats. Those girls on Eyewitness News, they look good. They're mothers. They look good, though.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stugats.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yes, obviously Andy Reid. I'm sorry, I take it back. Mike McCarthy is more of an old Elvis. If you have a need to have old Elvis, threaten, threaten one of your kids. I can't believe the escalation though, of you're not threatening to throw the kids outside with the deer. You have put them outside and said their deer is going to be the family.

[Diana Rossini]

They lose their minds through the glass window because they think they're really going to have to stay out there.

[Greg Cote]

It's good parenting.

[Stugotz]

Good. That's excellent.

[Diana Rossini]

It's freezing.

[Dan Le Batard]

They said somebody should be calling child services on you, Dan.

[Diana Rossini]

You don't get it. For every parent watching.

[Greg Cote]

Yeah, Dan doesn't get it.

[Diana Rossini]

You know what I'm talking about. It's the between the hours of four and probably seven o'clock and you're trying to get them fed and there's a million things going on and everyone is losing their minds. So there's only one. No, you can't be reasonable with them. Right. Like, I can't get down and look at Mikey in the eye and be like, you need to eat your vegetables and sit. He's like, I want to play trains. I'm a dinosaur. Like, Joe is in the corner.

[Greg Cote]

All right, calling Santa.

[Stugotz]

How close it outside?

[Greg Cote]

26 degrees.

[Jeremy]

See ya.

[Dan Le Batard]

It is such a great description for boy. Childhood. I want to play with trains. I'm a dinosaur.

[Diana Rossini]

No, they do it all the time. They're constant. Then they ask me to put a spell on them so they turn into a monster because they want to be monsters all the time. So the only way to get a little bit of order.

[Dan Le Batard]

Yeah, you're living with hyena. You're living with hyena.

[Diana Rossini]

I, I am. I'm living with crazy deer now. And the thing is that the three year old just, he, he encourages it. Like, he's like, I dare you to put me outside. And I put him out there and he looks to the window and I take the eggs and I'm like, I got your eggs.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh my God.

[Diana Rossini]

That's, that's usually how I get.

[Dan Le Batard]

Wait, wait, wait. So is the three year old, Is the three year old the smart ass with? That's not Santa, that's grandpa. Like, who's hitting you with that?

[Diana Rossini]

Oh, the four year old's an angel. He's like, oh, yeah, Santa, the three year old, the egg one, he is smart. He knows. He knows what we're doing. So, yeah, he, he. He's going to be my.

[Dan Le Batard]

Diana, would you do me the favor of please calling Chris? I want to video this. I want. I think that Chris can sell your kids on you. Put the kid on the. I think that Chris as.

[Stugotz]

Are they misbehaving again?

[Diana Rossini]

But I want more out of you, Chris. Like, I want. I want more direction so we can get some order here.

[Greg Cote]

We got to talk on the front end. You tell me what they're doing. I need more info.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, yeah.

[Dan Le Batard]

All right. Please go on to scare the kids. And I want Chris to be this Santa who disciplines your kids so we don't have to call child services on you because you're threatening that they're going to live with deer in the frigid north.

[Diana Rossini]

Deer aren't even scary. They just like you're saying to your.

[Dan Le Batard]

Kids, you're going to live in the woods, you're going to be raised by a deer.

[Stugotz]

Deer are scary.

[Dan Le Batard]

What sort of processing do you think is happening there? Wait a minute. I have to live out there? That's not. That's not warm.

[Stugotz]

What the hell is that thing?

[Dan Le Batard]

And while you say that deer is not dangerous, what do you mean that's going to raise me? How am I going to get to practice?

[Diana Rossini]

They go to school with jets and Giants fans. It can't be much worse.

[Dan Le Batard]

Getting back to the things in football, the Patriots, how real is that?

[Diana Rossini]

Very real. I think they're ahead of schedule. This is a team that I think they were just trying to straighten up, get organized, figure out what they want to be. And I think they're already on this journey to being what they are. What they envision this, I can tell you. It's. It's like, it's electric up there. They're energized and it's. That is a hard place to be energetic about, especially this time of year in New England. I remember when I was at espn, I would cover the Patriots. It was the worst assignment. And not because of Bill and Brady and all that. Like, it was just like, it's so. Just.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, it's gray and far away and. No, it's awful. They live on the outskirts of civilization. They might as well be raised by deer. No, seriously, people don't know. How do people know how hard it is to get to that place, Diana?

[Diana Rossini]

Like.

[Dan Le Batard]

No, it is. It is the wilderness they're closer to.

[Stugotz]

Walpole prison than they are to a city.

[Diana Rossini]

I agree. And so just the fact that they're out there and they're dancing, you know, they're doing all these things. I love what they're about. And look, I still don't think this roster's, like, phenomenal. I. I still think they're kind of a middle of the road type of team that just has a really good quarterback, a great offensive coordinator, and a potential coach of the year leading the.

[Stugotz]

Diana, what the hell did we watch last night?

[Diana Rossini]

What was that? Was it just cold? Like, I don't understand what is. Okay, I'm frustrated at times with this Eagles offense. I. They had a bye week to get this together, and I was just expecting it to look more like it did, either at the height of last year or even snippets of what we saw before the buy right where the run game was on. The offensive line did a good job of protecting. They use the receivers really well and then it just. It just looks disjointed. It doesn't. It doesn't look as good as the Eagles can. And I know they're winning, right? They're still good. They're going to make a deep playoff run. I just, I think when you have a team like this where at times the offense looks like they're in a bit of a rut, they're lucky that they've got such talent because that's a.

[Dan Le Batard]

Tough assignment on the road in the cold in Green Bay. Give me a stat of the day here so people understand what they're seeing from Green Bay. 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 Start of the day Start of the day it is the start of the day the packers have allowed. This is from Optis stats. The packers have allowed just 39 total points and 780 total yards in their three losses this season. That's the first NFL team to allow fewer than 40 points and fewer than 800 yards over their first three losses of a season since 1940. Since the Lions now two inexplicable losses, Carolina and Cleveland. But that one last night is not inexplicable. Like, that's a good defense they're playing. And Philadelphia, look, I know they won 20 of 21 or 21 of 22. Winning on the road at Green Bay. If you're Philadelphia no matter how you do it is a victory. Like, that's something that no one's so spoiled that they can't appreciate that they're going to complain after that.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, no, it's true. And you look at the teams that they've been this year, you know, this is not like they have some cupcake schedule. They've played really good team. So look, I. Philly is really hard to dissect because we know what the roster looks like. Even look at Jalen Phillips. They just trade for him and he immediately makes an impact. Like, they do a really good job on both sides of the ball. But I just. I think it's the understanding of what they could be is the frustration. Right. A.J. brown, three targets again, you know, like, what is this going to turn into by the end of the season? And how are they going to get him more involved? Because I think that's what he wants and I think that's what they want to do because he's that good. So, look, they're at the top of the nfc. They've got Seattle and the Rams, who to me, are the best teams playing right now in football.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's get the tears of tears for Diana. Let's get these ready so that she can make a ruling for us before we let her go. And can you guys get for me the Jalen Phillips tweet, please? Because he had a forced fumble last night. He had a recovered fumble last night. He had four pressures, no sacks. He's going to be helped by that defensive line, which doesn't particularly need his help. But Howie Roseman does what the Bills did, not because they got another pass rusher in Philadelphia in Jalen Phillips. When you look at everything, the totality of people complaining in Philadelphia that the offense is not doing enough. I want to ask you a question about Lane Johnson, their right tackle. Is there a better right tackle in football?

[Diana Rossini]

No.

[Dan Le Batard]

Where do you put him on most important players the Eagles have? Like, if I said, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

[Diana Rossini]

Best player on offense for the Philadelphia Eagles. Lane Johnson is the best player on the Philadelphia Eagles.

[Dan Le Batard]

I don't think people know this. Like, I think people like you know this. I don't think the people listening to this, they talk about A.J. brown and they're talking about all the other players that play offense for the Eagles, but that guy gets hurt last night, all of a sudden, they're going to have problems.

[Diana Rossini]

Let me be even clearer. It is my opinion, but it's also from me asking the people on the Philadelphia Eagles team recently about this. I've had conversations with guys who is the best player on the team and it is not even questioned. It's always Lane Johnson.

[Dan Le Batard]

Always. He's the best right tackle ever. And do you just. Do you dispute this?

[Diana Rossini]

I don't dispute this. I'm saying, yes, the next player is where I step into some spicy stuff because I have said that I thought A.J. brown was the second best offensive player on the Philadelphia Eagles. And I think a lot of the world believes it's Saquon Barkley. So that's another.

[Dan Le Batard]

Well, A.J. brown believes that it's A.J.

[Diana Rossini]

Brown.

[Dan Le Batard]

Correct. Like that he believes he's being held back by everything they're doing in Philadelphia's champions. Correct.

[Diana Rossini]

He does think he just wants to be part of this game plan consistently throughout the game, not in, just in moments when they need him. Like trying to go for it on fourth down. Right. I mean, I'm not sure what happened there in terms of him going up for the ball, but to me, this is like it's the same thing week in and week out. And look, Howie Roseman got calls. People poked around a little bit. There was some chatter. Would they move A.J. brown? And Philly was. They were not doing it. They. They were like, unless AJ It's a blow you away deal, we are not moving him, despite the fact that we know it's not the perfect scenario.

[Jeremy]

Diana, were the Patriots one of those teams that called about the Eagles A.J.

[Diana Rossini]

Brown'S availability in the off season? I know they had some conversations. I don't know how aggressive they were this time around. I know that they were looking more on defense during the trade deadline than they were on offense. So look, it makes all the sense in the world in this upcoming off season if they were to move AJ Brown. New England being a place where he lands because of his relationship with the head coach, but also he could definitely be used in New England at this point. Right. As they're trying to build this thing.

[Jeremy]

Folks, the leaves are turning, the weather's getting a little chillier. That means the football games are more important. That means football time should be Miller time.

Don Le Batard Are you on the fan right now?

[Diana Rossini]

Did Mike Greenberg call you yet? Are you ever gonna go back to espn? People think it's so weird you're a writer now. All those years on tv. All those years and now you're right. Who reads that?

[Stugotz]

Stugats.

[Diana Rossini]

Why did he take a job at the Atlantic? Mom, I work at the Athletic. What? You're on YouTube.

[Stugotz]

This is the Dan Levatar show with the stug.

[Dan Le Batard]

Let's speed her up, Roy. Let's speed her up. Let's get out of here. She's the host of Scoop City with the Athletic. She's the NFL senior NFL insider for the Athletic.

[Stugotz]

Diana, is Joe Burrow returning this month?

[Diana Rossini]

No, he is not. I think the hope has been December this whole time. I still want to see it though. You know, I think injuries are hard to determine.

[Greg Cote]

Is the writing on the wall for.

[Jeremy]

Kyler Murray in Arizona?

[Diana Rossini]

I do, I do believe so. I think this is going to be a really hard decision for this team to make, but I think we're seeing it right. They're showing us and telling us what direction they're going in here at quarterback. And look, there was a time where I think all of us would, would be surprised that Kyler Murray wasn't going to be the starting quarterback for Arizona with how he was playing and some of the runs he was making and really some of the athleticism. But, but I just don't think what he's doing there is good enough for this regime.

[Stugotz]

Is there a market for Kyler Murray? Where does it start?

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, yeah, I definitely think there's a market. Look, there's going to be plenty of teams that are going to be looking for quarterback next year, right? Look at the New York jets right now. They would give anything to have somebody. I keep joking that Joe Flat. If Joe Burrow comes back, Joe Flacco should go to the Jets.

[Greg Cote]

Yes.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, there will be, there will be plenty of teams I think interested in seeing, knowing that he can play. Maybe he just needs a better situation.

[Stugotz]

Diana, last year's draft class. Caleb Williams, Drake May, Jaden Daniels. Rank them who you want.

[Diana Rossini]

Drake, May, Caleb Williams and Jaden. And look, I'm taking this away from Jaden only because he's been hurt, right? Like I don't know what he would be if he, if he, if he was able to be out there. But I love what, what Ben Johnson and Caleb and Williams are doing and he's doing a better job in the pocket. But he was drafted because of his off script play and it's been remarkable the last few weeks. That is where he has shined and he's got the clutch gene. I love this about this kid. He, he wants to win games and he knows how to do it when, when the pressure's hot.

[Dan Le Batard]

The clutch gene.

[Greg Cote]

She's right.

[Dan Le Batard]

She's right.

[Jeremy]

She's 100, right?

[Dan Le Batard]

I mean, you Just dismounted with a diarrhea of. Of cliches. Clutch Gene.

[Diana Rossini]

He does the pressure when it's hot.

[Dan Le Batard]

When the pressure.

[Diana Rossini]

What do you want me to say?

[Dan Le Batard]

It just. It's just diarrhea.

[Stugotz]

I'll tell you, it's clutch. See how Jaime Hawke has Junior last night?

[Jeremy]

Diana does not think about Jaime Hawkes Jr's ass.

[Greg Cote]

She better start thinking about Jaime Hackerman Fowler.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you remember when the Rams were gonna trade or let let Stafford go to the Giants?

[Diana Rossini]

Oh, I do. I remember it well. We were in Indy at the NFL combine. And if you recall, the Rams are being a little wishy washy on what they wanted to do because they didn't want to pay him more money. And the New York Giants were sitting there waiting, kind of begging, please come play for the New York Giants. The Las Vegas Raiders were willing to pay him tons of money for him to be the Raiders starting quarterback, but in the end, he never even wanted to leave California. And they were able to get that deal done. But. But what it could have been, right? Matthew Stafford. This is a team that looks primed, ready to go for the super bowl with Sean McVay. If he was in New York, would Brian Dable still have his job?

[Jeremy]

Talk about clutch jeans. Matthew Stafford. Dan, that guy's got a clutch gene like no other.

[Diana Rossini]

I just want to know what's another way of saying somebody comes through in.

[Stugotz]

The four perfect way of saying it?

[Dan Le Batard]

Okay, Clutch jean dancing.

[Greg Cote]

I'm wrong.

[Dan Le Batard]

A clutch jean.

[Greg Cote]

Thank you.

[Stugotz]

Wearing a pair of clutch jeans.

[Dan Le Batard]

He wears clutch jeans. Yes, that's right. We should start making those Clutch jeans. We should start making those sounds. Levitard.

[Jeremy]

They do sound very tight.

[Dan Le Batard]

Greg, Jeremy has one question to close it out.

[Greg Cote]

All right, which is worse, Diana, weeping or sobbing?

[Diana Rossini]

Sobbing.

[Dan Le Batard]

Keep going though, Jeremy, keep going.

[Greg Cote]

Well, we have a full list here. Where would you put. Put whaling in that. In that mix with those two whales. All right, so here's our. Our full tiers of tears. So it starts with a frog in the throat, then sniffling, then sniveling, lamenting, choking back tears. Is it dusty in here? Cutting onions, allergies, shedding a tear, Boohooing, whimpering, then standard crying, then the morning cry, and then the morning as if you're mourning cry.

[Dan Le Batard]

That's got to be a big one.

[Diana Rossini]

Shower cry.

[Greg Cote]

See, I figured morning cry. Shower cry. Pretty similar, right? But are you.

[Stugotz]

Are you.

[Greg Cote]

Which morning are you talking about? In the morning or when I'm sad because someone passed? We could add the shower cry. Well, let's let's get through the list and then we can figure out where that shower cry goes. So after the, the second morning cry, we have bursting into tears, then waterworks, crying, a river, bawling, wailing, crying your eyes out, hysterical crying, crocodile tears, blubbering, weeping, sobbing and the Noshon Moreno tear.

[Jeremy]

Yeah, thank you. Just waiting for that one.

[Diana Rossini]

There were a couple in there that I thought you ranked in the wrong order.

[Greg Cote]

A little too high.

[Diana Rossini]

Yeah, a little too high. Like sobbing was too low.

[Dan Le Batard]

What is, what is the highest form? Is it wailing? What is the highest form of sobbing?

[Greg Cote]

No, Sean Moreno tears right now. Yeah, that's. That's the highest form.

[Dan Le Batard]

More than blubbering.

[Diana Rossini]

I just think anytime you cry in like wherever, the private version of it is always going to be the worst, right? Because that's when you can truly let go. Very few people will do that in public.

[Greg Cote]

Where's the. Where's the shower cry going? Going though?

[Diana Rossini]

I mean, in. In my life, it's probably the top one.

[Greg Cote]

So I'll put it just beneath it's the word.

[Dan Le Batard]

The shower crying is the word because you're probably. You're by yourself. You can get away from everyone. You're alone and you're alone with your alone and your pain and it's just a private cry cry.

[Diana Rossini]

The car cry is good too.

[Stugotz]

Really?

[Greg Cote]

Car cry.

[Stugotz]

When you stop at a red light, somebody's looking at you crying.

[Greg Cote]

It's always in your driveway. No, see, that's why that one feels even stronger to me than the shower cry. Cuz the shower cry can feel almost cathartic, right? There's like an emphasis of release. You're alone. But the car cry, it's like you can't even wait until you get home and hop into that shower cry. It's a dark cry.

[Diana Rossini]

I like the shower cry to release the most because the water is kind of camouflaging all my tears. You know what I mean? It's like all mixed in as one that I can't even decipher what's my tears and what's just the water and I. Then don't feel so horrible about myself.

[Dan Le Batard]

Put it on the poll, please. Juju. What's the worst of the cries? The shower cry or the car cry? Diana, thank you. We've kept you too long because Jeremy is using really quick though. Dan.

[Diana Rossini]

Does bone Nick stink now, Diana? I don't know. You tell me.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, a stray football question after the music has died.

[Greg Cote]

It's efficient.

[Stugotz]

It's a good question.

[Jeremy]

Very long too.

[Stugotz]

Does Bone Nick stink.

[Dan Le Batard]

Do you realize that this is Diana's life As she walks through life? Some guy shouting, does Bone dance?

[Greg Cote]

There ain't two.

[Diana Rossini]

Does he stink?

[Dan Le Batard]

Her life? Look, look. In the Northeast, especially guys like you on a street corner. Me? Yeah, guys like you, Clutch Gene, asking for the opinion of does Bo Nick stink? As she's trying to leave, she's gotta leave. Thank you, Diana.

[Diana Rossini]

He does. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. He doesn't. Goodbye. That's my girl.

[Dan Le Batard]

Flip it.

[Stugotz]

Oh. Goodbye, Diana.

[Dan Le Batard]

You gotta do this. Okay, listen to me. I want it to escalate. Look, if she's willing to put her on the naughty. Listen, if she's willing, okay, for me.

[Greg Cote]

To scare her children, to tell the.

[Dan Le Batard]

American people, okay, that she puts her children in freezing cold to be raised by deer as a threat, I need this to escalate into. You become a really threatening Santa. Like you need to be. You need to start. Start out really kind. But it needs to escalate. Like, we've got six weeks to perfect this. And I want those kids scared for Christmas that what's coming down their chimney is doing so with a machete.

[Greg Cote]

You go outside right now.

[Dan Le Batard]

Can you get me the sound of Mad Dog, please? Complaining about the government shutdown.

[Stugotz]

All of you should be ashamed. Every single elected official on both sides of the aisle should look themselves in the mirror how they let down the American public and made us a laughingstock around the world around. This is not about winners and losers, who is right and who is wrong. This is about doing something good for the American people and say, you know what? All right, they're wrong. But I got to step up here and make sure that the air traffic controllers are there with aircraft in towers. Not saying, Your turn, LaGuardia. Your turn. Kennedy, Newark. It's been 40 minutes. Send a plane out that's been sitting there for 15 hours. That's not the way this works. If you're the President of the United States or you're a Republican. Republican who controls everything, you do what's right for the American person, and they didn't do that. And the Democrats, you're dead wrong, too. They're both of you. You all go to hell. Every single one of you.

[Dan Le Batard]

Oh, he keeps going. That's part one.

[Greg Cote]

Hit it, Roy.

[Stugotz]

I mean, it's ridiculous what they put us through. I mean, who knows how dangerous it was to fly with nobody in the freaking towers. I mean, my God Almighty. And I got the President sitting there with freaking Vilma. Break it down. To 2003. Same. I mean, you can't make this stuff up. And chest bumping, Vilma. When?

[Diana Rossini]

America.

[Stugotz]

When they got a 75 year old who's been sitting in Miami International for three days. He's got hearing aids, he can't hear the announcements of when his JetBlue flight takes off for Bozeman. Oh, my God, it's sickening. I can't stand it. I should move. The hell I should be. Well, who the one who. Susan Lucci.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who moved.

[Stugotz]

No, Longoria moved. I should do the same thing. I did this show from Madrid. I'll do it live at six, nine o' clock at night. Jesus. Oh, my God. Eleven in front of the hour.

[Dan Le Batard]

Returning.

[Stugotz]

I made the goat.

[Dan Le Batard]

Holy shit. Just a fireball.

[Greg Cote]

I listen in the shower this morning. Did you cry?

[Dan Le Batard]

Can you get me the sound, Roy, of him just tripping on himself on the way to Susan Lucci? And get me the sentence, because it's a musical sentence of where he's so mad and the spit is gathered in his mouth that all of a sudden we're not. Not flying, we're frying. Where. Where he's not. He can't even get the L because it's an R instead, because he is just frothing at the mouth.

[Stugotz]

I should move. The hell I should be. Well, who the one who. Susan Lucci.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who moved. I want you to imagine mad at the federal government. Then the federal government just punching him repeatedly in the stomach as he tried.

[Stugotz]

To say that I should move, the hell I should be. Well, who the one who. Susan Lucci.

[Diana Rossini]

Who.

[Dan Le Batard]

Who moved.

[Stugotz]

I just feel bad for the guy with the hearing aids who can't hear. It's time to board. Seriously, when a Bozeman.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was so good. His word choices were so good. He went all over the map and he picked the perfect cities to send people to. And he threw the hearing aids at the guy in Miami. Because I've seen.

[Stugotz]

I've seen him the last three days.

[Dan Le Batard]

Every time I'm over there, there's somebody wandering around. Because the government shut him out. It happened to Zaz. Zaz was that man with three hearing aids at the Atlanta airport trying to.

[Stugotz]

Get to Miami International.

[Greg Cote]

How many years you got?

[Dan Le Batard]

Who disagrees with anything he said there? Nope, nobody. He speaks for the American people.

[Stugotz]

Republicans, Democrats. You're all full of it.

[Dan Le Batard]

Whether it's flying or it's frying, or whether he's talking about Susan Lucci or someone else. He moved me. He moved us all. With part one and part two of Mad Dog speaks for America.

[Stugotz]

When Mad Dog puts it in that context, the optics of the President doing play by play a little rough.

[Dan Le Batard]

It was great. A great choice talking to Jonathan Vilna. Look, this is what I tell Zaz this all the time. Zaz show 2.0. I say the thing that's the difference between the show he does and the show we do is, hey, Zaz, have you noticed that when you're on your show, you don't get to laugh? You don't get to laugh because you're talking to yourself. So you're not gonna make yourself laugh. He broke character laughing at himself in the middle of that like he was trying to stay in character. And he found himself too funny with his word choices. Can you play that back for me again? I want to hear the whole thing again.

[Stugotz]

Let's see, we have a very important.

[Dan Le Batard]
