It is time for StuGuts to share his game notes. No one in the media will tell you what happened better than my boys do. Weekend observations brought to you by Miller Lite.
Great taste, just 96 calories available for delivery.
Din, you know what they say, you save the best for last.
And tennis is no different.
The hard courts, the grunts, the obnoxious fans, Arthur
Ashe, prime time, and of course the beautiful surroundings of Flushing Meadows. And Dan,
just like that, make no mistake about it, US Open Week is back.
I thought college football would be your...
That was last week.
You're a real, you're a still,
I thought two weeks in a row,
I thought you would just hit college football.
Damn, we've got a huge doping scandal in the sport too.
We do.
It's a big one.
What a great couple of weeks,
you have college football, the US Open, the NFL,
the NFL, that's Sunday where you have the NFL and then the US Open men's final at 4 o'clock.
What are the great days on the sports calendar?
One of them.
You're amazed, aren't you, that there are 31 Division I college football games on Thursday?
Yeah, I wish there was 32.
All eyes on Boulder.
For that one, all eyes on Boulder. All of that one, all eyes on Boulder. In honor of the US Open, top five athletes who don't play tennis but have a great tennis name.
OLI.
Raphael Santana.
Will Zalatoris.
Yorri Curry.
Pete Maravich.
Don Newcomb.
Number five,
Nicole Jokic.
The Joker.
Number four,
Joakim Noah.
That's cheating.
It's cheating. It's cheating, it's cheating.
Come on.
You went with a joker and a Noah in your first two.
I think you're cheating.
It's cheating.
You went, his dad was a tennis player.
Yeah, I know.
It was Yannick Noah.
How about Henrik Stenson?
Better?
Number three, Peter Forsberg.
Number two, Carlos Arroyo.
It's a great tennis name, it is.
Number one, Andy Van Slyke.
Dan, there's a doping scandal surrounding a player
whose last name is Sinner.
Sinner, yeah.
How are you not all over this?
Mm-hmm.
Here come the D-backs.
That, by the way, is infuriating. The The D backs and the Marlins were the same team.
And now the D backs are the hottest team in baseball.
Well, they are still because Josh Bell's there.
Mm-hmm, right.
I can see why Florida State wants out of the ACC.
I wouldn't want to play Georgia Tech either.
The Ramblin' Wreck. They got a shot. They do not. They do! the SEC. I wouldn't want to
play Georgia Tech either. The
Ramblin' Wreck. They got a
shot. They do not. They do.
Their coach is five and oh
against ranked teams. He's do.
The college football season
should never start in Dublin,
Ireland. It should always start somewhere in the south or the Rose Bowl
No in between so maybe Texas some people are calling you a xenophobe like why just deciding come on things
Belong only in America the baseball in China thing like really I'm not saying don't play games overseas
I'm saying, you know start the season here and this season here. That's all I'm saying
That's saying don't play him overseas. He's saying play him in America. By the way, that was a direct quote from Su Gatza
I don't think they've opened the season in China
I'm just putting that on him. He said that
You think there was a me when you it would have been bigger news
Yes, it would have been bigger news if they had decided to start the season in a communist
country, yes
Feel like it we would have heard that somewhere, but maybe so gots did
Question how do we fall for it every year sprinting away from that with DJ you
Every year we fall for that's not true every year. We're there last year first drive
I thought they were the best team in the country. I mean, I fell for it. And the
second drive, you thought Georgia Tech was the best team
in the country. The D in DJU Stanford doesn't matter what
team he plays for. They always lose.
Brent Key is now five and0 versus ranked ACC opponents.
Big game Brent.
That's your reason.
That's all I got.
I'm glad you clarified with the ACC
because I didn't remember him beating Georgia.
Although we played him tough last season.
Down to Bobby Down.
Proclaiming Georgia Tech is gonna be good because their coach is 5-0 against ranked
teams.
You would agree today, right now, they are the number one team in the country, right?
The only 1-0 team, they beat a ranked opponent.
I mean, on the road in Dublin.
They're not the only 1-0 team.
The only 1-0 team to beat a ranked team in Dublin.
On the road in Dublin.
Well, it's a neutral site.
Keep up, Mike, keep up.
Sorry, sorry, my bad.
Number 10, Florida State.
Losing to unranked Georgia Tech.
You know what the F in Florida State stands for?
Frauds.
Wow.
And phonies.
Can you call yourself the worldwide leader in sports
if your college football halftime shows analyst
is the lesser known hot show?
Put it on the poll.
Just that, the way he said it.
Can you call yourself the worldwide leader in sports
if your college football analyst is the lesser known hot show?
Trevor Maddich joined in progress.
I saw him.
I saw Maddich.
I'm like still doing it.
Did you see those eyebrows?
It felt so good.
What's going on there?
What do you think's going on there?
Those eyebrows.
What is your theory as our vanity correspondent?
It's the same color as the hair.
That's my theory.
I'm not gonna mock anybody.
I'm not mocking them either.
I'm a fan.
Always have been Trevor Maddich.
The number of people who always comment
anytime they're seeing me and they don't regularly
consume us, that my eyebrows look like unruly caterpillars,
I'm not here to comment on anybody's physical appearance.
It's not the physical.
I'm commenting on a hue.
Yeah.
["The Star-Spangled Banner"]
I say that it was slowly morphing into Ryan Day.
As long as college football is around, there's always a place for Trevor Madditch, right?
I mean, he's one of the great analysts of our lifetime.
I appreciate actually, the thing that I appreciate about Trevor Madditch beyond his name is just
him bringing his general thickness to the proceedings.
Yes, you need it, yeah.
Talk about meat-poned.
No, seriously, happened to me walking into the studio today.
I was on one of the security screens,
I was like, oh, what are Ohio State's up to?
Let's check in on Coach Day.
Oh shit, that's me.
Arthur Ashe, top five athletes that can note cigarettes.
OLI, Craig Carton.
Not really an athlete, but.
One of these days I'm going to be showing up asking
where Lou Holtz is and complete the transformation.
It's going to be in the mirror.
Robert Pack.
Al Leiter.
Number five, Marion Butts number four Arthur
Ash number three Eric Winston number two Jeff Kent's and number one Jeff
Smoker. Cool Papa Bill. Liverpool looking good.
Are they? Yeah. Alright. I don't feel bad for a single Florida
State fan that had to hop on a 15 hour flight across the pond
back to Tallahassee from Dublin after
watching their team lose is a double-digit favorite I don't feel bad
for a one of them you get what you pay for I don't know if that makes any sense
what you mean you get what you pay a lot of people saying they feel bad for
Florida State fans they the travel all that way they lost the game you have to
travel back home I don't feel bad for any of them I mean but what do you mean
you get what you pay for?
They paid a bunch of money and they got a loss.
And you know what you get?
A flight home, a sad flight home,
and I don't feel bad for you.
You have to do risk reward when you do these, Dan, okay?
You have to say to yourself,
it might be a long 15-hour flight home
after Florida State loses with DJU.
But when you say you get what you pay for.
Well, I don't know what that means.
That's just you wanting to use a cliche there that doesn't make sense? for, I don't know what that means. That's just you wanting to use a cliche there that doesn't make sense?
Yeah, I don't know what happened there.
Wad Soto, Aaron Judge, John Carlos Stanton, hit back to back to back home runs, the Bronx Bombers, Taylor.
Aaron Judge is on base 47% of the time.
That's nuts.
If Aaron Judge was doing this in the 90s,
he'd be our most famous athlete.
He'd also likely be on steroids.
The A in Aaron would have stood for anabolic steroids.
He would have.
Andrew Diesteen or whatever that stuff was.
I'm not even certain he's the most famous player
in his own sports.
Right?
It's either him or Shohei Otani.
It's Shohei Otani, I think.
You can make an argument for Bryce Harper.
Not a good one.
No.
Not in 2024.
You can't possibly have a better summer
than the 12 year old who hits a walk-off
to win
the Little League World Series.
Walk off bunt, small ball, Dan O.
That was so much fun.
Florida, Little League World Series champions.
Florida.
Yeah.
Sam Howell is a Seahawk.
SMU, Snack Victory from the Jaws of Defeat.
Bronco Mendenhall is coaching New Mexico.
The Lobos.
As long as college football is being played,
there will always be a spot for a guy
named Bronco Mendenhall.
Huh?
It's a great name.
Thank you.
Choked it away.
You don't play Montana State.
You don't? You don't play Montana, You said it. Montana State, the Dakotas. Yes. Youoked it away. You don't play Montana State. You don't play Montana,
You said it.
You said it.
The Dakotas.
You stop playing those.
Mm-hmm.
You stop, you never schedule those.
Noah Lyles is making demands
for a race with Tyreek Hill.
Noah, news flash, Olympics are over.
So is your 15 minutes.
You wouldn't be interested in that race?
Nah, football started.
I'd be interested. Next summer.
I'd be interested to watch someone be a lot faster than Tyree Kil.
Spencer Rattler.
Little something I like to call it factor, Dano.
Not not at Oklahoma.
He didn't have it. He does now in the NFL.
South Carolina kind of rekindled some of the excitement. it on the pole at LeBattard show did Trey Lance improve
Prescott's bargaining position
Five interceptions, how crazy is it?
How crazy is it that we've gotten so used to quarterbacks not making mistakes that when someone throws up one of those fouts games
We're like, what the hell is that what is five
Interceptions you can't play that position. I
Love a cowboy collar neck roll on as a linebacker
Did you see Georgia Tech's middle linebacker yeah, that's why yeah
You get me a linebacker with a cowboy collar neck and I like our chances.
Drake may can scoot. Sneaky athletic. Taylor. Drake may be.
Drake may be.
Drake maybe. Mine.
Is it maybe one word or maybe two words?
It's M-A-Y-D-H-B-E.
Oh wow, it's towards a dash in the middle of it.
Yeah.
Drake maybe?
Oh, there's a question mark in there too.
Of course there is.
Oh, that changes everything.
Yes.
Walking like cadence into that one.
Yeah, I do.
But a dash, I didn't have it being a dash.
That's the way I do it
College football, I'm not calling it the two-minute timeout
It's the two-minute warning stop trying to make me say what you want me to say
Stop trying to make it a thing. It's not a thing. It's already there. It's called the two-minute warning
I'm an idiot that was screaming get out of of bounds! Having forgot that that role was in place.
Yep. I lost a preseason bet Cowboys Moneyline.
I wanted to be mad at Trey Lance, but I have only myself to blame. I bet a Moneyline preseason.
I want to yell at Trey. I do
Dak Prescott that is such a great observation, but you should write these I
Mean it was pretty funny to have Trey Lance go out there and throw the ball 50 times and all of a sudden Dallas to realize Oh, we don't have another answer if that gets hurt
Sugats who doesn't actually write his own observation. I do should write some. I do. I write them all. Keep an eye on Traveon Williams. That's mine. Regardless of what part
of the spa I'm in, I always feel the need to whisper. OLI. Library. Hospital. Number five, Temple. Number four,
watching the last dance. Number three, Cooperstown. Number two, Canton. You've been to the Hall of Fame?
Yes.
The NFL Hall of Fame?
No.
Oh, you haven't.
Then you haven't been to the Hall of Fame.
Barbecue Hall of Fame?
You should whisper there.
You said Cooperstown.
I met Canton.
Number one, Augusta.
Do you do the thing where you're watching tennis or golf with your wife and then you
catch yourself whispering in a conversation?
All the time. I caught myself doing that as someone's lining up a drive.
Put it on the poll please, Juju.
Do you whisper while watching golf, whisper to your wife while watching golf on television?
Did you just try to one-up me on the fact that you've been to Canton and I haven't
been?
Is that what just happened there?
Yes.
Because we forced you to go with Baccelli and that was the time Yes. Because we forced you to go with Baccelli
and that was the time you-
No one forced me to go with Baccelli, I paid my own way.
I joined Tony Baccelli, I had a great time,
I went to his party, we're friends, I mean-
Stoogott.
Afternoon drives, Jacksonville, end game.
Are you forgetting that we had to push you into doing that?
Yeah, well.
I mean, no, I'm not forgetting.
Picked a bad year year you should have waited for
Dwight Freeney who you've been friends with could have hung out with MJ you're
right not that the cons I'm sure weren't great company with you and
Vasili but I sat next to the cons I mean KHAN-S. There were three cons, though. You were one of them.
Hey.
There's another Nakua.
He's on the Saints.
Samson Nakua.
Couple of Nakua's cutting it up.
Fanatics lawsuit is going after
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s father.
Fanatics, listen to me.
Please, I care about you.
Be careful.
Be very careful.
The most dangerous of games.
Are we at the point where he's now Marvin Harrison Jr.'s
father and not Marvin Harrison?
Yes.
We shouldn't be saying that name out loud.
Please stop saying that name out loud.
Matt Breida, back with the Niners. The Marlins are
calling up Griffin Conine, son of Jeff Conine, Mr. Marlin. How about that? Make
you feel old? Mr. Marlin, I'm with Chris Cody. Never in the history of team
nicknames has there been a player more average as the nickname holder than Mr. Marlin, Jeff
Conine who I believe played for seven teams?
Not exactly Mr. Cub.
Not exactly.
How many teams did Jeff Conine play for?
I think it's the Orioles and the Mets twice and the Marlins twice.
Eleven Chargers got stuck in an elevator for hours.
I wouldn't put it past Jim Harbaugh
to stage an elevator getting stuck in the building.
Jim Harbaugh says he wished he could have got stuck
on the elevator with the players.
I believe him.
The quotes were so good, Stugats.
They were so ridiculous.
Quote, Justin Herbert's a leader.
He was a rock.
He kept everyone calm.
Everyone kept their poise.
You get in those situations and it's a test of wills.
He loves a test of wills.
He does.
Jim Harbaugh would schedule adversity into his day
for the hell of it.
Speaking of hell, our priors.
Dan, those are the weekend observations.
Stugatia from my friends over at Simply Safe.
If you're like me, you're constantly
thinking about the safety of the people and things you value
most.
After a friend told me about a break-in in his home
in which many of his most valuable possessions
were stolen, I knew I needed to secure my home with the best.
I've trusted Simply Safe to protect my home for six years
now.
And the level of security and customer care
has been incredible.

They'll also send emergency help when I need it most.

There's no safe like SimpliSafe.
Don LeBattard. And I feel like Rebecca, I can't pronounce her last name, but she's a great kid. the LB, there's no safe like not Simone Biles, your thoughts? Stugats. No. This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
I've got excellent Stugats, thank you.
I've got some stats of the day I want to run by you guys
and have you guys tell me which it is
that you think is best.
Kansas City twice, Baltimore twice for Jeff Koner.
Six teams, not 16, six teams.
Six teams. And the Marlins twice. And the Marlins twice as well. Royals,
Marlins, Royals, Orioles, Marlins, Orioles, Phillies, Reds, Mets. Wait so the Orioles twice as well?
Yes. Orioles also twice. Well six organizations, ten teams right? I don't know if that's how that works. Well, 17 years, so you could say 17 teams, technically.
Six franchises.
Every team is different.
Every year the team is different.
So it wasn't 16, it was 17.
Six organizations.
Six franchises.
10 years in the NL, nine in the AL.
But once, you know, the interleague play,
then that's all mish-mash, you know?
I've got-
Stats of the day?
A couple of stats of the day for you. Give me the music, please
Start of the day start of the day in this year start of the day
Start of the day start of the day in this year start of the day
Start of the day start of the day in this year 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.
Hey.
You tell me, Stugats, which of these two
you think is better.
Okay. This is from my good friend Barry McCaulkin
LeBron James average
27.2 points per game when Frank Gore entered the league
He averaged 25.7 points per game when Frank Gore's son entered the league
That's one entered the league.
That's one stat. The other stat, I don't know if you saw what Shohei Ohtani,
you mentioned during your weekend observations
that Shohei Ohtani is the biggest star in the sport.
Did you see how he got to 40-40 over the weekend?
No.
So he gets to 40-40 25 games faster
than any player in the history of the sport, okay? He gets to 40-40, he games faster than any player in the history of the sport.
Okay, he gets to 40-40.
He's got a legitimate chance at 50-50 the way that he plays.
And he gets to 40-40, 25 games faster than anyone else and does it on a walk-off grand
slam.
I've watched way too much raised baseball.
Ciri tried to climb the wall.
He's a great center fielder, but Otani's ridiculous. And so walk off Grand Slam to get to 40-40.
Very cool.
According to MT Money DFS,
Otani is having the 11th best offensive season
of Barry Bonds' career.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Greatest stat ever, that wins.
I mean.
Otani is having the 11th best offensive season of Barry Bonds his career
Yeah, but Barry couldn't pitch for shit neither can Otani this year. That's all right. We've seen him do it
Mike think of a part of it though. I know but think about this season
He's having and it would be the 11th best season Bonds had. Can he get 50-50?
He might get there.
He's got an outside chance.
How many times has Bonds done 50-50?
I'm asking out of curiosity.
I don't know if Bonds stole 50.
I don't think there's such a thing as 50-50.
I don't think anybody's done 50-50.
Kinceko at 40-40, I believe.
I don't think anybody's ever done 50-50.
That would be pretty rad, yeah.
I mean, he's gotten there 25 games50. That would be pretty rad, yeah.
I mean, he's gotten there 25 games faster.
There are a couple of things in baseball happening
that haven't happened in a really long time.
The White Sox got to 100 losses faster
than any team since 1916.
Like, this is, what we're watching
with the Chicago White Sox is a historic
not seen in a century awful.
Zero talking on ESPN about baseball today, zero.
In fact, we've been canvassing what's been on first take
and for 43 minutes, they've been talking about
the Denver Post columnist being banned from Colorado.
All right, well you mentioned that on Thursday,
all eyes are gonna be on Boulder
and I wanted to ask you guys something because
Stugats, the columnist is named Sean Keeler and he has been banned because of what the Colorado
Buffalos are calling sustained personal attacks. He has called Dion a false prophet. He's called him Deposition Dion.
He's called him Planet Prime, and this is my favorite.
He's called him the Bruce Lee of BS.
Wasn't that Bruce Lee?
I don't think of Bruce Lee as being BS.
Oh, dude, there was a whole controversy.
And I'm not saying it.
I'm just doing what Quentin Tarantino did.
Right.
There were a whole bunch of controversy
from his surviving family because of how he was portrayed,
when many people around that industry
finally liked that someone was actually portraying Bruce Lee
the way that he was in real life,
and it became a big thing.
But let's get back to,
and put it on the pole, Jujurat Levitage show,
was Bruce Lee bullshit,
which is blasphemous.
Yeah, they're gonna come after you.
No, it's.
And by they I mean his family.
Right.
I'm saying it's bullshit.
Dangerous game, David.
I'm not doing the dangerous game.
I'm putting it as a poll question,
it's just a question the audience decides.
This is not my doing, this is Mike's doing.
I would not ever accuse Bruce Lee of being bullshit.
But Sean Keeler says would not ever accuse Bruce Lee of being bullshit but
Sean Keeler
says that he's the Bruce Lee of BS and I just wanted to ask you Stu Gotts
because the heat on this is now in a really unusual unreasonable place
if he's going to decide he's going to fight the media the way he's always
fought the media the way he's always fought the media,
the place that this gets ratcheted up to is unlike any that any college football game is enduring.
Any college football coach is enduring.
College football coaches have all sorts of problems with the media all the time,
but we haven't played a game yet. Stugatser hasn't been.
It's one season and the noise around this man and this team are not any kind of sane.
I get that this is like a compelling, interesting story, but 40 straight minutes to start first
take like this seems ridiculous.
It does. It does. Makes me wonder who has that game on Thursday night.
Yeah, when you say that's ridiculous, I remember that you guys remember, I don't know if this
got a lot of traction.
It's a ESPN.
They have the rights.
Chris Carter recently said that he wanted to punch Skip Bayless in the face and told
him during a segment not to ever disrespect me that way again because they were talking
so much Tebow and Skip Bayless said to Chris Carter when Chris Carter said if throwing
a football is important for a quarterback tim tibo is not a
professional quarterback and skip bala said to him that's why you never want a
super bowl
what
that's yes but but the other reason i bring it up is because they're gonna
cover d on the way they covered tibo it's the easiest thing in the world forty
minutes of
dion you know what's the only thing wrong
with 40 minutes of Dion?
That's not 50 minutes of Dion.
Like that's, they will eat up all of that
and it will be trafficking in whatever the sports fan
will argue about because they'll prep up the game
for three days from now.
They'll get to 50 minutes by the way.
It'll be interesting.
I wish I was actually hearing this conversation though
because Stephen A and Shana Sharp,
they have the relationships with Dion.
In fact, Stephen A was actually speaking for Dion
as to why the last time he had a press conference
interaction that didn't land the right way,
he was kind of speaking for him.
Even though there were other journalists
that are also close to Dion,
saying something totally different.
The one who got put on the blogs was Stephen A speaking for Dion Sanders. So it's a curious
spot that they're in, but right now they're feeding the machine because they are the machine.
I don't know what they're saying either, but I am willing to bet I'd place money on what
I'm about to say, which is in those 40 minutes of all the things they're talking about, one Oh we had the appetizer last week but now it's time to feast.

Don LeBattard there is no question Dan Lebatard show included. Anybody else that this guy is the best player on the planet. Whether he wins the Stanley Cup or the Cotsmite this year, there is no question about it.
Stugats
Overrated, wait, some say overrated. Dan Lebatard, how you doing? Are you living in an altered world or what?
Oh my goodness.
This is the Dan Lebatard, how you doing? Are we living in an altered world or what? Oh my goodness.
This is the Dan Lebatard Show with the Stugats.
Stugats making this an even more exciting and action packed time
than it feels like
for sports fans because football is here and there's just a lot going on. You're
about to be bombarded with stimuli. One of our favorite times of the year is
when we get to go over the past year and remember nostalgically all the things
that went wrong and all the awards to give out. There are usually a lot of them
to give out in our sues.
And your category, the one that I think of
when I think of you is dismissals.
Like that is the Stugats honorary category.
I think it's the best one.
Like I expect you always to win this category.
Right, I expect myself to win the category every year,
but I am told that Billy Gill had a hell of a year.
That's all I'm concerned.
Let's not sleep on Stugats.
He still brings it in this category,
but I would say if there's someone else
coming for his throne, it was Billy this year.
Billy, how do you feel about being a challenger
in this category?
Do you think you can knock him off?
So proud of him.
Not great, to be honest with you.
All right, who's the voice?
Let's find out together who the voice
of the Sues is this year
And now the suey nominees for best dismissal Billy Gill dismisses Canada But now that Canada is being all judgy McJugstein over Greg Cody and now that they're you know
They think they're holier than thou I hope the Panthers win oh finally
Stanley Cup again and these miserable Canucks up there who think that they're better than the rest of us that they know hockey better than
Everyone else get the show how about you get the cup which you haven't for 30 years
And you're not gonna this year because Connor Mcoverrated is gonna choke and vomit all over himself all over again
because he's no Wayne Gretzky who did it all on his own
and needed no help ever.
Hockey.
Mina Conns dismisses Dan's flannel.
Did you get lost on the way to Home Depot today, Dan?
Like what's going on with the plants?
Get his ass, Mina.
But do it in song.
You look like you're about to ask me
to check the oil on my car.
Get him.
Or come over and look around and point things
in my house that need to be fixed.
Stu Gotts dismisses Bo Nix.
Bo Nix, blah, blah, blah.
Come on.
Dan, you know what the N in Nick stands for?
Not the NFL.
You know what the B in Bo stands for?
Better start thinking about getting a job.
Billy Gill dismisses Disney adults. Adults, if you're waiting 45 minutes to meet Mickey
Mouse, reprioritize your life. Dwayne Wade dismisses Paul Pierce.
Have you ever wanted to just tell Paul to shut the **** up?
Very subtle. Very subtle.
Well, I don't I mean, listen, rent is expensive in America and I'm living rent free now. So
let him keep let him keep going. I mean listen rent is expensive in in America and I'm living rent free now. So let them keep let them keep
I like living rent free. Mike Ryan dismisses Victor Wemba. Nama. I'm not a good basketball player
Not good. He's just tall billy gill dismisses messy this fucking guy
They pay him how much to come here and play for inter miami and mls. He's taking around
In some stupid Copa tournament.
It doesn't matter.
Buddy, you won the World Cup,
you won the international tournament, you're gonna win.
Why are we playing this other ridiculous cup?
He's already also won that tournament.
So what is he doing?
Like enough already.
Who agrees to have their employee come
and just not show up to work to go work at another company
and then have him get injured?
I don't get it.
Stugastis dismisses Reggie Miller. I don't want to hear about Reggie Miller. I mean, he has
somehow inserted himself into this series. I am tired of Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller
was 9 and 33 for his career on the road against the Knicks. He had nine seconds. Take those
nine seconds away and Reggie Miller, according to Dan, who was asked by Boog Shombie
at the Versace Mansion many, many years ago,
Reggie Miller, not a Hall of Famer.
Great moment.
I am tired of hearing about Reggie Miller.
The shipping container dismisses Dan's flannel.
Dan, you look like a divorced dad.
Yeah.
And a great one at that.
Yeah.
I have a divorced dad.
I can attest, you do.
Like on a first date.
Like you're the divorced dad that has your ex-wife
being like, what, now you look good?
Now you're putting it together?
Where was this effort when we were together?
What's your gambit?
Guess what, Dollaritas are back.
Billy Gill dismisses Mets groundskeepers.
It's the groundskeepers.
Don't get me started on them.
I don't know what they're doing.
They don't seem to care about their jobs.
They're like, ah, the season's over
and they're just playing around. I don't know if you saw what happened last night. Last night there seem to care about their jobs. They're like, the season's over and they're just playing around.
I don't know if you saw what happened last night.
Last night, there was a three hour rain delay.
At one point, the groundskeepers were taking group photos on
the field instead of keeping the ground or whatever it is that
they do. Like, I don't know why they were taking group pictures.
They were laughing about they were removing the tarp making
puddles in the outfield, not the puddles that we've wanted in the outfield to make the game more fun, the puddles that cause games
to not continue. They've just been an absolute disaster. This groundskeeper team. I don't
get me started on them. Greg Cody dismisses Michael Phelps. Do respect to Michael Phelps.
Oh boy. Can you be the number one professional athlete of your century when people only give a shit
about you two weeks once every four years?
Billy Gill dismisses whales.
If the whales want to continue to exist on this world, they will stop f***ing with human
beings.
I'm telling you that right now, okay?
There's not a human world under the water.
There's a sea world on earth because we capture the whales and then we put them in tanks.
If we wanted to end the whales, we would end the whales. So they need to stand
down. Dominique Foxworth dismisses his son's dap.
I took my son to the barbershop, get a haircut and my man gave out some limp dap.
Oh no. Damn, damn, damn.
I disowned him. I threw him right under the bus. I was like, whose kid is that out here
dishing out limp dap?
Grandma Smetty dismisses Grandpa Smetty.
I don't think I ever got that many roses in my whole life.
Certainly not from your lovely grandfather
got in a mask, so rest in peace.
Jeff Jarvis dismisses AI.
It's macho waving by the AI boys
to think that they're ever going to be so,
they can make the machine that's so smart and smarter than us all so they're smarter than us all it's crap don't panic
about it don't worry about it they're all part of a cult called Tesquiao they're nutballs
Chris mad dog Russo dismisses Halloween I wouldn't guess the Halloween that's another
complete waste of time I didn't like Halloween when I was a kid.
Hmm. As a kid you didn't?
And I couldn't stand it.
Fishposh.
What a joke. Running around getting candy.
I couldn't... And nobody comes to my house because I'm a rough cookie.
I leave all the lights off. No little kids bouncing around.
And if they come, I give them more tootsie rolls because that ruins teeth.
Mike Ryan dismisses Mario crystal ball for not kneeling
Not crystal ball though you didn't know I was screaming at crystal ball before that in the first down
The shipping container dismisses UM this team is just an average college football team right yeah Yeah, he's lost a team Mario is lost
My team did not lose. I'm telling you though Kane's fans have this persecution complex
Like they are hated by the NCAA they're built up anytime that UM starts 4-0 against a crappy everyone wants the case
We're good. Yeah other teams in the ACC have to work way harder to be ranked than agree Miami
Yeah, Miami is gift-wrapped in rankings as soon as they start any season 4-0. Yeah, and they find a way to blow it every year.
If we go back over the last 10 years, they've probably lost to every ACC team at some point.
It's not like they just lose to the same one every year. They've lost to all of them. Virginia,
Virginia Tech, Clemson, Georgia Tech. It's just a different team every year. I'm just so over.
This team is just an average college football team. Spencer Hall dismisses Drake.
First of all, Drake is boring.
Drake has always been boring.
Drake lives and dies off his producers.
Drake has never said an interesting thing.
Quote me a Drake bar that matters.
Not one, not at all.
Oh, that's interesting.
You have trust issues with women.
Oh, wow.
You did it all yourself.
That's every Drake song.
I did it all for my team and I hate women.
That's it.
Stu Goss dismisses Joel Embiid.
I'm tired of Joel Embiid. I gotta be honest with you. Every 10 seconds, it's drama. He's
either hurt, he's on the floor, he's grabbing his shorts, he's grabbing his ankles, he's
bent over, he's tired, he's mad at a teammate, he's mad at a referee. He's never mad at himself though.
Stu.
Never mad at himself. And then that boneheaded decision when you're already hurt to toss one off the backboard and throw it home at the mecca.
Are you crazy? That was the dumbest decision in the history of NBA decisions.
Stu Gotts dismisses the 76ers.
I'm tired of them. Their fan base, the whole team, the organization.
I can't stand them. I can't stand any of them. Nick Nurse, enough. Complains about every single call. Those guys limping around complaining,
I've got a headache, I've got this, my leg hurts, Maxie faking injuries, then going out fourth quarter having the greatest fourth quarter
that the mecca has ever seen. Stu Gotz dismisses Robert Kraft and Arthur Blank.
Robert Kraft should be ashamed of himself.
I'm serious.
I mean, the way he is smearing Bill Belichick
after he left New England with that documentary,
with this report, another deep dive by Seth Wickersham,
he should be ashamed of himself.
Bill Belichick has raised the value
of his franchise exponentially.
He has won him six Super Bowls. He has made that lousy organization one of the, one of
the marquee organizations in the NFL. And I don't understand what Robert Kraft is doing
calling Arthur Blank, and he should be ashamed of himself as well, because Arthur Blank,
make your own decisions. What the hell are you doing?
You're gonna let Bob Kraft impact who you're gonna hire a head coach get the hell out of here your organization is lousy
It will always be lousy. You'll never be good at Bob Kraft
The only reason your organization is good is because of Bill Belichick Stu. Gus dismisses Bill Belichick
Nothing since since Brady left he made the playoffs
once I think in the very least he should not be a first ballot Hall of Famer they should
make him wait like 10 years to get it he's an overrated coach Stu gots dismisses Kyrie
Irving and Luca Donchich he was lousy and he's lazy I mean I'm so play defense no sprint
back play defense rotate stop leaving guys,
shooting open threes.
He's lazy.
He is lazy.
And Kyrie Irving, the audacity of that guy to come out,
who has lost 12 straight now to the Boston Celtics, leader guy,
I've changed, saying all the right things,
doing all the right things, except when he steps on a court
in Boston.
That was an all-time lousy NBA Finals performance.
He should be ashamed of himself.
People call him one of the great offensive players of all time.
Great handle, best handles.
Oh, he's got handles. He's got handles.
You know what he had? No threes last night.
He was terrible.
Rachel Weiner dismisses her dad, Stu Gotts.
I had Rachel and Emma both home, and I was in a fight with Rachel and I said if you roll
your eyes one more time there's going to be a problem.
A big problem.
And she said, really?
What are you going to do?
Oh god damn.
I mean that's where she...
I didn't have an answer.
The sod father, George Tomah, dismisses Roger Goodell.
They just don't give a damn, you know, And I could help them to leave it as prop,
but you think that'll ever happen?
No.
If they don't do it, we have to take it to the government.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
We have to take it to the government
because of the plea for playing conditions
and they don't give a damn.
For Coober Cup!
Yeah!
They're injuring the players, George!
They're injuring them!
Because they don't give a damn, Dan.
The only one that's going to do it is George P. Tomo having a meeting and if they don't
listen we go to the government.
Billy Gill dismisses the Knicks.
Your team choked, okay?
Oh, I know. You guys had this, and you choked,
and you were embarrassed on your home court.
And you're giving them a standing ovation
when in reality they deserve to be booed off the court
for that performance.
Especially for Ed Sinclair.
That was loser mentality by those fans saying,
we're so proud, we're so happy.
No, you guys got punk.
Mike Ryan dismisses Jason Tatum that dude was a coward
That dude was a coward don't don't tell me the aggregated ten points and let that be the headline that dude disappeared
He was chicken
Personified on that court get out of here. He got lucky because
Jalen Brown hit a gagasso of all times and Rick Harlile just blew that game.
That dude was a chicken. Mike Johnson dismisses Greg Cody. This is Mick
ridiculous. Absolutely. I said I'm all about clickbait, reader engagement,
pandering to the home crowd. I get that. But like if you know anything about
hockey and I'm assuming Greg might...
Stu Gotts dismisses Shohei Otani.
Shohei Otani is overrated. He has had one 100 RBI season. One. He has never taken his team to the playoffs.
The next playoff game he plays will be his first playoff game of his career. He can't pitch next year. $700 million seems like a lot of money for a guy
who's 29 years old and had one 100 RBI season
and couldn't make it to the playoffs with Mike Trout.
He's overrated.
Stu Gotts dismisses the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dan, this time of year, everyone talks about teams
they don't want to see come playoff time.
I want to talk about a team that I't want to see come playoff time. I want to talk about a
team that I actually want to see come playoff time. I want to see the Chiefs. I want Patrick
Mahomes strolling into my stadium with max confidence. I want Travis Kelce. I want Taylor
Swift. I want the team that lost to Jordan Love. I want the team that lost to Aiden O'Connell.
I want the team that trailed 17 to nothing to Jake Browning.
That is the team that I would like to face in the playoffs.
That's the team indeed that I would want to face
in the playoffs because that team is not very good.
Wow, welcome back, Sui's.
Stugats with a late run there. He had a lot, a rare double ashamed
of themselves.
Showay is overrated.
Bill Belichick did everything for the Patriots. Bill Belichick is overrated right after that.
Put a couple of things on the poll. Billy, though, I think you made a strong challenge.
Yeah.
A big strong year of dismissals from Billy Gill. Put these on the poll please.
Do groundskeepers keep the ground at Levitard Show and also put on the poll do tootsie rolls
ruin your teeth. Mad Dog says he doesn't do Halloween. I don't know if you guys saw this
story. Did you guys see that Snoop Dogg in order to avoid all of the pictures
that the parents want when he takes his grandkids
to birthday parties, Snoop Dogg admits
to wearing full-on costumes where he's not recognized
as Snoop Dogg, so Grandpa goes
to the grandkids' birthday parties,
but is in such a costume that no one recognizes
that Snoop Dogg is at the party
because he doesn't want to be bothered by the parents.
And over there Barney's smoking a joint,
it's a little odd.
I imagine, right?
Because it'd be hard for him to just do it with makeup,
so it's gotta be like he's in a mascot's costume
of some sort.
And then the mascot Barney does smell like marijuana.
At a certain point though, you have to like,
you're a guy who's doing five hours of makeup
to avoid six photos, like what are we doing?
I don't think it's five hours of makeup.
I think it's Chris's idea.
I don't know exactly, but I think he is just hiding inside
some sort of thing where you can't tell at all
that it's him.
It's not makeup, it's a costume,
it's a bit of a uniform.
Also there's a lot of confidence in word not leaking out that Snoop Dogg's that it's him. It's not makeup, it's a costume, it's a bit of a uniform. Also there's a lot of confidence and word not leaking out that Snoop Dogg's that person's
grandfather.
That's just a weird conversation.
Didn't you tell me that was Snoop Dogg's grandkid?
You could mess with your friend, you go up to your kid like, guess who Barney is?
Well it's not just that you can mess with your friend, it's that if you then know that
Snoop Dogg is there, all you get is a picture with Barney.
And then you tell people, look I took a selfie with Snoop Dogg, if you then know that Snoop Dogg is there, all you get is a picture with Barney. And then you tell people,
look, I took a selfie with Snoop Dogg.
No, you didn't.
It was just a Barney costume that smelled like marijuana.
It's like, look, I know him, I've had a few beers,
but Barney spoke and he sounded just like Snoop Dogg.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
