Welcome to the big suey presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan LeBattard podcast.

I'm sorry. I'm not going to 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 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. a Little teaser the Philly fake out what happened there? That's right. It's time for Thursday Thunder. What day is it? Stay tuned because you're gonna hear about DraftKings it all has to offer throughout the show DraftKings the crown is yours Thursday Thunder of course Tony we got alright guys we've got a barn burner tonight in the NFL Denver Broncos and the New Orleans Saints a revenge game for Sean Payton. Yeah, and will let's do oh my god Well, what a little double revenge game on a Thursday We're gonna go a little wacky here. Okay, usually we pick the game usually pick the star players. We're gonna go the opposite

All right We're gonna go with guys that maybe one guy you've definitely heard of but other guys you maybe have not heard of To do good because the Saints have nobody Chris Olavi out Rashid Shaheed out there their car out So it's a bit of a you know Bit of a mismatch there for New Orleans. So we're gonna start in the obvious place. This is gonna be a field goal game We've got will lots over one and a half field goes tonight There it is there will lots over one and a half field goals this game might end nine six and everybody

It might actually might it might. It might be a 9-6er. Another guy that you have heard of obviously, Alvin Kamara receiving yards. They have nobody. So we're gonna go Alvin Kamara receiving yards over 25. Maybe a nice little swing pass. That's a nice little slant play from the slot. You never know. Alvin Kamara over 25 yards and this is the one that I'm staking everything on. Really? This is the most important leg. This is it. Unborn baby. If this doesn't hit, we have a massive problem.

And you're gonna laugh when I say the name. But we are having 50 yards, over 50 yards for Bub Means. I love that name. Bub Means, the wide receiver one in New Orleans. Good rapport with Spencer Rattler on the second team. Okay. Had a touchdown in 45 yards last week in a shootout. No Patrick Sertan to tonight. So bub means over 50 yards. If you want to get crazy and mix in a little anytime touchdown for bub means

you're going to get crazy. If you're going to get crazy, if you're going to get crazy. You're going to get responsible. If you're going to get crazy. Right. Bub means business. Bub means business. Over 50 yards for him. Over 25 yards receiving for Alvin Cabaro.

And Will Lutz over 1 and 1 half on the field goals. That gives you a nice plus 5.58. Juicy Thursday. Wow. Nice. But bub means everything tonight for bub means. Bub means everything. I got a very intimidating point from Stu there You just had a Thursday heater and I get me and I was just I got a full little Chris Cody morning breath situation there

Stu gots over here. I'm sorry about that All right, aren't you? That's why I put on the jacket by the way, so I can Tell in here. It's hot as hell in here. It's not, it's freezing in here. What are you talking about? Oh, I should have done that instead of showering. Yeah, dude, I'm about to take off the sweaters.

It's boiling in here. Two studios, man. It was nice outside today though, man. Oh my god, StuGots, the weather is finally here. Soup season. It is. Soup season. Fall was in the air.

Last night I felt it the first time. I can't even describe to people who don't live here how Horrible it has been outside since May It's not like it's gotten gradually nicer out as like, you know after Labor Day or through September No, it's been like a hundred and nine degrees with the heat index every single day with no breaks until yesterday And now it's finally here. It's soup season an An exer writes in, do we call them exers or do we call them tweeters? Why when Dan leaves the show, they go out and get boring Israel Gutierrez

and not promote from within. It's bad enough Stu Gatz's annoying laugh every two seconds without Dan. Wow. You wanted me to laugh there, I'm not gonna laugh there. I did want you to laugh there. We did promote within. We had Billy Gil co-hosting the show yesterday,

we try to do it when we can, but we love Izzy around here and I don't care what the listeners say. Thank you. And just for the listener who wants less of me, I want to give you more of Jeremy. Because I think we need to talk some Miami Heat. Because last night, the Miami Heat was an unexpected back to back because this

was a game that was rescheduled because of Hurricane Milton. And so they played the Atlanta Hawks in Miami the night after playing the San Antonio Spurs in Miami. And if this was last year, Jeremy, there would have been no names you recognize on that floor. On a back-to-back in the preseason, it just would have been, you know, 11th through 15th guy, we'll see you guys the next preseason game.

They had all the starters out there, played pretty regular minutes, Jimmy had his whatever 24 point game, went to the foul line eight times, did his normal thing. This does not look like a team that is just going to coast through the regular season and hope they make the playoffs.

No, it feels like the opposite. Look, last year, the vibes were down. Like, from the moment the season started. You wouldn't know that around here. Well, you would if anyone got to speak about the team, but the vibes were. Yeah, I'm sure you would've crushed the team at the start of last season.

The vibes, well, it's a separate conversation. The vibes were not great to start last season. Emo Jimmy, like, from the moment Dame Lillard wasn't traded here, the whole season was gonna go into a weird place. You had Tyler Hero finding out he was staying while at lunch with Eric Spolstra. He knew all off season long, including several off seasons

before that, that he might be traded. This is the first year he's come in knowing that that's not the case and that he'd actually be a part of the Heat going into the year and could train that way. And this season, thus far in the preseason, everyone seems to be on the same page. I actually, if we want it, I do have a top five reasons

to be optimistic about the Miami Heat, if you'd like to be optimistic about the Miami Heat if you'd like to be optimistic about the Miami Heat. Do you want to take a vote? Can we say if we want it? Normally you're supposed to just go and give your top five the way Tony does, just perform. I want the top five. You want them?

Yeah. Okay. Cause you want to be optimistic? I do want to be optimistic. First I want to wonder what Tyler here orders at a lunch with Spoh. Right. Do you think he's like showing off with the order? He's like, let me get a kale salad with chicken. No, I think he's got to put on a weight. He's at a lunch with Spoh. Do you think he's showing off with the order? He's like, let me get a kale salad with chicken.

No, I think he's got to put on a weight. No, I think he's eating a ton of protein. That guy's eating just three bowls of just chicken. If he doesn't order it, Spoh is. Philly cheesesteak double meat, you think? Apparently, Spoh, and Chris knows this, Spoh absolutely murders the, what is it, the treadmill that has that sort of, what's it called?

The curved treadmill. It's the curved treadmill, right? So you sort of control it yourself based on your own pace. Was it Duncan? Yeah, it was Duncan that told us that, yeah, he absolutely murders that thing. It looks like he's going to fall off, it seems like, because he just goes so hard.

He said the most impressive thing about Spoh is his literal workout regimen. The most impressive thing about this Hall of Fame coach is his workout regimen. So I've got to see it. Ben Manobayo also said he's the office funny. That's how he described Spoh is that he has that type of sarcastic, like dry sense of humor. Where you like stare at the camera after. Right. That's what I told him.

I was like, we need to get like a documentary crew just on this season, not for Jimmy Butler, but for Spoh so that he can give those looks toward the camera. But yeah, I've got this top five, so if you guys wanna be optimistic, let's start here. Well, hold on a second, we want all five in one show? I mean, or do you want like one at a time here? I could use one, I don't know if I need five reasons to be optimistic. To be optimistic?

Yes, I mean. All right, so let's go one by one. It's not generally. We'll take a vote over the next five shows. Over the next five shows. You wanna hear them out first? Yeah, we'll give you the first one. We'll start, well do you have any O.L.I.s? That doesn't make me start. The slow burn.

Yeah. Okay, slow burn. All right. Just feel now process here. All right. We know it's going to get better, right? So we know that already. So don't give us the best one at first.

But if it's a decent number five, we'll allow you to keep going. All right. Number five. The Young Guys. So it's fun. Hold on, let me explain. The Heat added a lottery pick in Kaleo Ware,

who I know Tony is high on. Pella Larsen, their second round pick, is getting glowing reviews around the organization, including from Tyler Hero, Jaime Jaquez, Bam Edibayo, everyone is shocked by how polished and ready to play Pella Larson already is. You've got Kashad Johnson as well, he was his teammate at Arizona,

he's a high flying guy, sort of of the PJ Tucker mold, and that's thanks to Brawny James, because Kashad Johnson, Kashad Johnson only ends up as an undrafted player because the Lakers selected Bronny James. He was one of the guys as the best available left at the end of the draft. He goes undrafted, ends up here in Miami,

the perfect place for him. To me, those three young guys are potentially going to add to this team later down the line, but rarely do you have a team that's as deep as the heat are and young guys waiting in the wings. All right, before we take a vote here. Yeah, before we take a vote here. I don't want, I don't.

You made me give the worst one and then. I don't want to lead the jury. You decided to give the worst one. You took the finalist, go for the bottom. I just want to say that the young guys on this team have only been playing garbage time pre-season minutes against fellow garbage time pre-season minute types of players and have looked decent against them,

but if they were really going to contribute, you would think the head coach would be playing them with the main guys, no? I believe that the reason that that hasn't happened is because the Heat are trying to build chemistry with the rotation that they are going to have. The starting lineup has not played a game together in the regular season. That doesn't help your case because the rotation that they're gonna have is the rotation they're gonna play with and

that's what's supposed to give us hope. The rotation that they're gonna play with? I vote no more. Okay that's fine. Tony you want another one? Yeah I want another one. I'm willing to hear him out on one more. Stu Gotz wants one more Chris yeah, all right fine Roy all right. I'll give him all right. That's a deciding vote I don't even need to let Jess vote here. Just have Roy decide next time It's seven of us it was already a vote of four Jimmy Butler seems locked in Now this is one that's interesting I mean choice Jimmy Jimmy played 60 games last year Jimmy Butler seems locked in. Now this is one that's interesting. Because Jimmy played 60 games last year.

And we've now learned through the starting five documentary that Jimmy lost his father during one point last season. And the reason why it was bad time for a laugh was that something was spoken in an ear. What was that? It was a separate behind the scenes conversation. There are many conversations happening at once during this show.

That's not a good one to laugh at. Terrible. But Jimmy Butler went through a lot last season, including the fact that, as we mentioned, the emo Jimmy element of, I don't want to run it back with the same team. I don't want to be here playing all these regular season games.

I'm gonna coast, I'm gonna end up in the postseason and we're gonna be fine. And in playing 60 games last year, I don't think anyone would argue he was truly locked in as Jimmy Butler for more than 20 to 25 of those. Now you have a guy who's in a potential contract season with the ability to opt out, who showed up to media day, albeit late, without any sort of haircuts or attitudes.

He's done everything that the Heat have asked him to do thus far. He came in saying that he heard Pat Riley's challenge and wants to play in these regular season games. He's playing last night on the second night of back to back. All right, I have to stop you. Homer! Jimmy Butler. Chris's face tells everything that we need to know.

He's regretting asking. You guys said you wanna be optimistic! He's regretting asking for a second one, all right? When you say Jimmy Butler's locked in. It's too much optimism, I mean. Sorry. It's too rainbow bright, it's too much. Like when you say Jimmy Butler's locked in,

you gotta tell me that he dressed exactly like Terry Rosier last night. That's how you tell me he's locked in. I can't tell you that until I get to one of my other points in the top five, which is the power of friendship. Oh wait, the power of friendship? I mean, hit the sounder, he already gave us this, what was that, number three?

I guess we can call it number three. Alright, number three of the list we didn't even ask for, the power of friendship. The power of friendship. Now, the Miami Heat, for the last several years, have been not one of the most talented teams in the NBA, and the thing that has constantly sort of buoyed them has been the vibes. When things are going bad, as we know with Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry, it can really go south quickly

for this team. Jimmy Butler during training camp, this time around in the Bahamas, is inviting guys over to his complex. They're playing dominoes together. They're hanging out into the late hours of the night. Then they're going through training camp together. Thus far this season he picked a fight with Chris Paul to defend Jovich. Then last night he dressed entirely as Terry Rozier with the arm sleeves and the wristband. Even went back into the locker room after Terry had come out in the purple shoes to go back and get

purple shoes of his own so that he could match entirely. These guys are messing around with each other, they're having a good time. Tyler has a steal in the first quarter and he's literally smiling on the fast break as he goes down for a dunk. Again, the vibes feel a little bit different than they did going into last pre-season

and that quote unquote power friendship that the Knicks had last year that was the reason they made a run according to so many of their fans. If you wanna look at this team, it's that type of environment around the team. For the audio audience, Jeremy's rubbing his nipples through that entire thing. Yeah, it was disturbing actually.

Shot selection. Nope. This is number two. It was disturbing actually shot selection So the Miami Heat have completely reworked their offense thus far this this preseason Georgia plays, Texas. I mean so last season during the regular season the Miami what the last year during the regular season, the Miami Heat were 20, 26th in field goal attempts from zero to eight feet. In the preseason, they are fourth in the NBA.

Last season, they were fourth in shots from eight to 16 feet, one of the most inefficient shots in the NBA. This year, they're 29th. So thus far, in the last three games that they've won, they scored 120 points, 116 of those came from threes, in the paint, or free throws. In each of the last three games, only four points have come anywhere outside

of free throws, three pointers, and in the paint. So this team is becoming one of those teams that's getting more efficient, easy shots, they're spacing, and that includes Bam Adebayo, who's shooting 40% from three point range in this preseason. Somehow he's making me less excited about the Miami Heat. I was super excited last night.

He's making me hate the Heat. And I'm actually glad we didn't go one every day. Let's just get this last one out of the way. Number one. I think there's two more. They have 15 steals per game every game. Don't expand. That's number one?

Preseason steals is where we're going. I like it. The defense is good and it matters because nobody thought they were going to be able to defend with a starting lineup. I think we have. I said I want to be optimistic. I can make you feel optimistic. I'm coming in with positivity. I've been so positive.

Baseball's been great. Everything's been awesome. I've been so happy. And now the first time that I talk Heat, not only am I made miserable, but I know the audience is too. You've driven me to madness. You're gonna be even more upset because later in the show,

we might, it's either today or tomorrow, we'll have a segment of about 12 minutes of us at Heat Media Day. And when I say us, I mean not you. Yeah, Jeremy's not there though. No. You had fun though. Yeah, it was great.

Alabama plays Tennessee. Massive game. What are their preseason stats? They don't have any. You know what we think, I think what we need is Jeremy's top five concerns about the Heat this season. But not today though. Not today, no definitely not today.

No one likes optimism. People like concerns. That's what I'm saying. Especially on this show. Yeah. I did feel good about them last night. I did feel good about them last night. I did feel good about their spurtability. They were playing against an Atlanta Hawks team

that had hit 15 threes. You're falling for it. No, well, I was already sold on this team. I'm just trying to fight off. But then I started talking, so we had to get negative. I just had to fight off Jeremy because he's just kind of making me not want to like him as much. But the forcing turnovers is kind of crazy. So's just kind of making me not want to like him as much but the forcing

Turnovers is kind of crazy. So this is a team That's not gonna worry that much about defense even though they're gonna play crazy hard They're gonna change their sort of their shot profile to be nothing but threes and layups Which is what the rest of the league has been doing anyway And they have the three-point shooters and the drivers to be able to do it Yeah, I think they're gonna be pretty good who I don't think I need a top five for that. Who on this show do you think has the best spurt ability? Don't answer that. No, I refuse.

Tony? Yeah, I think it's me. Is that a follow-up or is that your answer? It's my answer. Definitive. We got here having a quality home security system in your home is so important. You wanna have peace of mind when you're away

Well, Chris definitely thought he would never ask because he's not ready with the sound on that. Who's not ready? I need to get the stink of heat optimism off of me, please. Let's show them how to do a top five, Tony.

Hup. All right, Tony's top five is presented by DoorDash. Get all your game day phase delivered.

So I mean litter with good games. Yeah, it's also said Monday was like the best day of it was the best sports in his life.

Well, it was just what we're just doing a lot of hyperbole. I could make the argument. This is the best week seven slate in NFL history. So glad we spent 10 minutes on heat preseason. It's awesome. But that's that's next week. We're talking about last week. Okay, we're going to start with number five that I'm saying we were looking forward to

next week. We're talking about last week. That's what that's what Tony South five is on a preview. I'm just gonna put myself back in a week six mindset. Yes, exactly. Number five, Jaden Daniels still hasn't had a bad game. He's so good. Even when they lose, he shows me something. Wow. Yeah, you hey, I I mean where's the hey All right, so nobody knows It's been a staple of this show since what 1990 yeah, we can't get the hay is in the sound guys Yeah, like there's no hay button has there's always been a hay button. No Chris knows what he's doing here. I mean I think

What he does? Tony what you're saying is jaden daniels even while losing to the ravens you were still impressed. He showed me something He's really good exactly. He's really good, but I think Caleb is better. I'm sorry. I'm like trample your top five there anyway Go ahead number four Number four there's the Caleb Williams who were told Caleb Williams we were told about. I know my guy. Back to back games, throwing touchdowns,

spreading the ball across the field. It's like, all right, he's starting to come into his own. Now the game's starting to slow down a bit for him. If you don't look too deep into the Chicago Bears schedule, because you're going to find a lot of bad teams, and they're doing this against a lot of bad teams. But the spark is there. The arm is getting about his miss mobility like it's exciting So that's the Caleb Williams we were told about very excited about here's a little secret

Tony don't ever look at the schedule and who your teams beat because there's too many bad teams in the NFL But specifically with the Bears is a lot of bad. Yes Number three we talked about it yesterday Baker's back. Yeah. Baker's back in a big way. Number one in touchdowns, number four in completion percentage with 71%, number eight, I want to say, in yards over the season, Baker's playing amazing. What tier is he in?

Chris is going to find that today, I promise. What tier is he in? Is he in the top tier of NFL quarterback now? Because he's approaching it. He's getting close. There's not that many of them. Funny enough, we did Tony's tiers, which are coming out on YouTube at some point. Let me find him. Wow. Wow, he's approaching it. He's getting close. There's not that many of them. Funny enough, we did Tony's tears, which are coming out

on YouTube at some point. Let me find him. Wow. Wow, he has the tears. Yeah, I got my tears right here. Let's see. Baker is good enough. Good enough.

He's in the tier that's good enough to get to the playoffs. It's got to be the third tier. What's the highest of your tears? Highest of my tears, not to give it away, but highest of my tears is Patrick Mahone's tier. OK. All right. And then it's elite right then it's good enough Then it's me right then it's jury still out right which were I love that a lot of guys that are the jury still out on but Baker's getting close to elite right Baker's on his climb

Otis Klein okay, and then here's the funny thing about the tears Is that once you get to a certain point you get kicked back to the jury and the jury Figures out wait a second we need to confer we need to talk about this He might be elite so Baker might go to jury still out and then jump back to elite I just do guys Tony's a different story a taste of Tony's tears. I would So a little taste number two By the way, the Buccaneers Baker Mayfield play the Ravens. It's the greatest week. It's the greatest week seven of all time.

But they play them on Monday night. It's such a big game. It's such a fun game. I hope Baker wins that game. Number two. I want to go through a list of the Buzzsaw teams. A top five within a top five. It's a top three within a top five.

Wow. Number two is Buzzsaw teams. You ready? Ravens, buzzsaw, buzzsaw, lions, buzzsaw, buzzsaw, Texans, buzzsaw. Those are my three buzzsaw teams right now. Ravens, lions, Texans. You put them in, they're buzzing some saws. That's what a buzzsaw does. Just cuts through. Just buzz and saws, baby. The saw is on the buzz saw, right? But then it makes the noise of which is why it's the buzz saw. Got it. Got me. Yep. Number one. It's over in Dallas. Oh, wow. Yeah. Everything. Everything. It's over. Really? It's over. Money wasted on CD, money wasted on DAC. The defense is just atrocious. They don't have a running game. Jerry Jones has just lost the team. McCarthy's lost the locker room.

It's over. It's over. Is CD calling out Dak during games? Yes. Like, is that bad lip reading or is that real? It's any time Dak does something bad, the camera operators know, go find CD wherever he is and just zoom in on him.

And if you go play and replay of the play and then show what he says, it absolutely matches. Like if it's a bad throw, he's like, that was a terrible throw. A good throw gets me a touchdown. He keeps saying like, throw it up. And then he doesn't throw it up and they don't catch touchdowns.

And that's kind of what it is. But it's over in Dallas. That's number one. Tony's top five presented by door-draftkings.com slash door-go play for free restrictions apply. All right, I get it. I see where I went wrong. You gotta say everything's over.

I have no room for optimism here. That's a tough one. Well no, I had pessimism. Hold on. I had four optimistic things and one pessimistic thing. Yeah, he didn't bog it down with a bunch of numbers. You just gotta trust the eyes. It's a fact, right?

Just eye test. Eye test. I tried to say the power of friendship vibes, no, but that's too positive. That's bad. He finished with a boom though I mean he gave you four optimistic things and then finished with everything is over in Dallas. Okay, tell you do it Tony's tears and Jeremy's tears I

Didn't realize that Chris's clothing out of willow Chris. What is this little thing the boom dance doing the boom dance? Yeah, I realize what he was doing the boom dance that he's wearing clothes that just give you advice it says pee daily which I'm thinking you don't do that yeah you should probably should we start a peach at brush your teeth if you do it though brush daily just what was this will levis has been like a very intriguing quarterback for me because he's got like these commercials are strange. He seems to be leaning into his personality.

He's got like he's he's basically built like Tim Tebow but entirely different personality. And what did he do here? He took out a ball boy recently. Oh my god. Okay. Well there's like Will Levis has kind of turned into an internet meme because he's had a moment from every game he's played in the season, like, go viral for just looking kind of absurd in a still frame.

And so in the first game, it was like this absurd fumble he had in the, or the interception, the interception in the Bears game with the Surrender Cobra. The second game it was this absurd fumble where he was- I can do that now because I put on a jacket, but I don't have this pit stains anymore. He was in midair, like, completely starfish position, The second game it was this absurd football. I can do that now because I put on a jacket, but I don't have this pit stains anymore. He was in midair, like completely starfish position

and the ball was just out of his hand. So there, and then there was another one who was like crying out, it looked like he was crying on the sideline. It was just, it's been a really weird season for him, but yes, he took out, I don't know, I guess ball man would be the word because it was like an adult, older man.

It was an older gentleman. The ball dude. This has happened a couple times this season so far. I mean, I know it happens every year, but so far this season, I've seen two fairly significant injuries to chain gang members or guys, like the spotters on the sidelines.

And this guy had to get carted off the field, and I felt so bad for him because his entire leg was wrapped up and he was being carted off all because of this kind of like freak accident play on the sidelines involving Will Leavis. So of course now that has also gone viral. So not only do we probably not need them

because we could use technology to spot the ball, I believe there's like a technology in the Flac football league that's way better than the NFL but they're still on the sidelines suffering potentially I mean at their age life-threatening injuries because anytime you go under a knife at that age. I don't I think it was a ball boy I don't know how you get a robot on the sideline to like do some of the Tesla robot that's also been a really good. I love that me Robot going through TSA and it's like my

Tesla robot asking after I ask it to get a part-time job to help pay for itself My Latin mom when it says now you may you lucky My Latin mom when it says, Nadia Mae you lucky. I don't think every, I don't think every job on the sideline could probably be replaced. It is a dangerous place to be obviously the sideline of a football game.

I know people that have gotten concussions. I know people that have gotten their legs taken out. But yeah, I felt really bad for this guy because it really did not look pleasant. Of all the quarterbacks that you see barreling towards you in the NFL, I'm pretty sure Will Levis is like, he's the one you don't want to see. Yeah, absolutely.

That'd be a good top five. Can we do tiers of quarterbacks you'd least want to see coming barreling towards you on the sideline? If you're holding the chains, right. Yeah, if you're part of the chain. Josh Allen is number one for me. You get out of the way. You drop the chain, you get out of the way. Cam newton up there too who was up on my list because he

doesn't know how to slide let me check out this will levis play I'm looking at it first time I didn't see it live and then go his legs snapped why are we going sound comes out when you pee your pants, isn't that a goo? Yep. Go! Man, that looked like it hurt. Did you guys, I mean not to go from Number three? Terrible accident to very heart, very difficult accident to think about and watch,

but did you guys see the Aidan Hutchinson injury? Yeah. And how did you guys experience that? I can't unsee it. When I saw it, I'm looking up toward the knee, cause I had no idea what the injury is. And then right at the very end, you see the ankle kind of dangling,

and it's like, oh no! It's not even his ankle, is he? It's like mid-leg is dangling. You look like a spaghetti noodle, when you just kind of go like this. I actually didn't see it, but I saw some still shot going around the internet, which was terrible.

So whenever that happens, I think of Joe Theismann, who had his legs snapped in half by Lawrence Taylor during, I think, a Monday night football game. And LT knew it was so bad that he was waving the team doctors to come out to help Joe Theismann. I also think of Jordan Travis last year with Florida State, where I remember that and I saw it

and I wish I didn't see it, and I told my wife and my kids, don't see it. Like, you don't wanna see it. You don't wanna see it and I told my wife and my kids, don't see it, like you don't wanna see it. You don't wanna see it. And for some reason, they didn't realize how bad it was and they went to see it. They sought it out. Kevin Ware, the one from Louisville.

Yeah. Louisville, sorry. Oh, that's a bad one. But I heard my kids screeching in their bedroom when they watched it. I'm like, I told you not to watch it. It's terrible. Paul George had the same thing. First thing I thought of was, man,

he shouldn't have said he wanted to break that record this year. Like, you're just tempting fate, and I'm telling you, like, he's never gonna say that again. I don't know how superstitious he is. He's probably never gonna say it again. Because I don't know what pace he was on, but. A good one?

Right, one where he probably needed one more, you know, two or three game stretch where he would have said that. But yeah, I am 100% superstitiousitious about that stuff never would say it again And it totally sucks too because they were already winning that game that game was over And it was on like I watched it happen live and honestly like I think I was looking at the wrong place because I was like Oh, he got looks like he got rolled up on that stinks But then they I was not watching red zone so they flip back and he was like getting on the cart and I was like

Oh, no, I think it was a leg whip. I have not gone back to look at the play. He was running and I think like he put his leg out to like run forward and then somebody was running behind him like either in a block or trying to get around on like a stunt and his leg just got like basically when the freeze frame is your half of your leg at a right angle, that's usually bad, like wrapped around somebody else's leg.

Making it worse for me is we're just starting nationally to get to know Aiden Hutchinson. He's in these commercials, you're just like, who's that guy on the State Farm? Oh, okay, and you figure out who he is, and it's like, wow, he's just up and coming, he's gonna be maybe the best defensive, whenever T.J. Watt retires,

the best defensive player out there, and then bam. like not only is he out for the season, but it's gruesome and it's tough to look at and you feel sorry for him. You go from like being scared by him to feeling sorry for him because he's got everything in front of him. Fortunately though, it's just a broken leg. Like I know it sounds crazy. No, but you're right. It's just a broken leg. It could have been worse. Yes. But it goes to your place in there? No, you'd rather break your leg like that than tear an ACL or an MCL or something like that.

A clean break like that. 100%. But I also think, because I have a couple of good friends. 100%. 100%. Yes. No doubt. I have some friends in Detroit.

We're doctors. When things go well in Detroit, stuff like this happens. And I feel terrible for them. Like I know I'm a Dolphins fan, haven't seen the Dolphins win a playoff game since the previous century, but it must suck for Lions fans to experience it.
