You're listening to DraftKings network.

This is the Dan Levator show with the stu guts podcast.

We'll get to Greg Cody's back in my Day in a second. Greg Cody during the break is trying to make me cry with some of the questions that he's asking me. And one of the things that I do want to achieve before we leave today is something whether it's me crying or getting in trouble or having some sort of big societal point, something going viral while I'm dressed like this with no explanation for it. I think the funniest way to do it is Greg Cody making me cry with one of his questions. But before we get to Back in My Day and what his question was, can we just pair against each other what I believe to be the hall of fame first ballot, number one most dismissive way anyone's name has ever been said on this program, which was until.

Today, the way Draymond. Green dismissed. Rodney McGruder with this Rodney? I don't know that we've ever had.

A challenger around here to that.

But does dabbo swinney talking about sports radio talk show caller Tyler rival, rodney wow.

Pretty good.

He hits the lure there really hard.

It's disgust. It's real and it's palpable, and it has Tyler same sort of feeling behind.

It, the same sort of undercurrent of hatred that the Rodney does. Rodney wow.

I think Tyler might be better.

Yeah, I do.

Rodney.

Yeah. I would vote Tyler.

I can't.

Draymond hits the rod. He does hard and dabo hits the lure.

Let's hear him again.

Rodney.

Yeah.

Go, Rodney.

Well, Rodney, the problem is that Rodney has an unfair advantage of being a funnier name.

Rodney is funnier than Tyler. If dabo was saying Tyler, or rather if dabo was saying Rodney with the.

Same sort of disgust, rodney's more dismissive. The Tyler's? More like I'm mad at.

Is Tyler.

You're not as good as come do.

My you want to come do my job? You want to come do my job? Tyler, what are you? Just someone who fights in wars. You're not me. You can't go four and four in.

The ACC, but you only have, like.

Maybe one kid, possibly two.

Are you married?

Not three.

He got so fast.

That third clip.

He lost me.

The first two, I'm like, he's got a point here. The third one, he's just like, I'm married.

I have kids.

What have you done? He ran out of things to brag about that he had accomplished.

He went to two degrees. I've never failed. Tony Elliott, huh? You find any Tony Elliott's?

It's a good point on it is.

It does tell you how limited football coaches are generally that when you ask them what they've accomplished, they say football things. And I've got a wife and I got kids.

I procreated football. Procreation. That's what god put me on earth.

Football. I coached football.

I got married, I went home from football.

You would have thought, I'd have no time to, but I did.

Winning all those championships you'd think would take all my time. But no, I was having sex on the side. I was making babies and sperm.

I produced two walk ons, one of which was a total liability on special teams.

Greg.

Cody. Are you ready for back in my day? I'm not sure. I'm not sure I want to cry in this.

Think I don't blame you.

He had follow up questions from hour two from last Thursday.

Sure did.

Probing.

He had a lot of probing.

Boy, did I.

Probing questions.

Wow.

Those can wait. Those can wait.

Are you ready for back in my day?

As I'll be.

How are you feeling about.

He likes to do OOH.

That pumps me up. All right. Thank you. Thank you. Nice hat, by the way. And now it is time to take a trip down memory lane.

Here's your guy.

Greg.

Cody with back in my day. Pardon me.

$5.

We heard that.

$5.

Uniforms. Here's a fun fact. The first definition of the word uniform is remaining the same in all cases and at all times, unchanging in form or character for generations. That was the perfect description, literally, the fitting description of sports uniforms. They were always the same. Home and away, unis. That was it. No throwback uniforms, no temporary specialty. Colors, franchises. Respected tradition once, new familiarity as an asset, something reassuring to fans. Now everything about sports is in tumult. I go to a Dolphins game the other day, and the end zone is painted like it was 1966. Why? The NBA's dumb in season tournament coming up even features different courts. Imagine that. No wonder teams charge $60 for a T shirt and $20 for a beer. Got to pay for new courts and ridiculous uniform changes. Nothing is sacrosanct. You see advertising now on fields, on uniforms in my lifetime, and I'm old. We'll see a Super Bowl between the Apple Chiefs and the Amazon Prime Packers. And does the MLB broadcast really need the 7th inning stretch to be sponsored? Why even kid ourselves anymore that sports is about the fans? It's about the broadcast partners and sponsors.

Fans don't matter. Major pro sports could play in empty stadiums and arenas and still make filthy money. Hey, Raiders fan dressed like Halloween all year round and fat shirtless guy at a Buffalo game in December? You're superfluous window dressing. You want to know why the White Sox willy nilly take the field in 1976? Throwback unis? Because they know fans will flock to the merch store to outfet themselves in the inexplicably trendy. Look same when the Heat get up in those 1971 Aba colors. Now there's a new Heat culture jersey we're forever touting progress in. What's new? Then suddenly, the Steelers are clowning their players by making them dress straight out of the 1940s chaching. But guess what? Those ain't 1940s prices in the merch store. Baseball this past season unveiled its City Connect uniforms, the latest wave of sartorial gimmickry designed to drain fans pockets because teams know we cannot bear seeing our neighbor be trendier than we are. Give me home and away. Duds that don't change. Please read the definition of uniform and adhere. Bring back sameness. I'm Greg Cody, and that's how it was back in my day.

Put it on the pole, Juju. Bring back sameness. Yes.

You have to love Greg criticizing revenue streams.

That's right. You didn't like those Titans uniforms. You didn't like the Oilers.

I liked them back when they were the Houston Oilers. Right. Paying the Boston Patriots every time has a place. I used to dress in big flare pants and five inch heels when I was in high school. I don't do that anymore.

You still wear shirts from the 1980s.

Well, you got me on that one.

Yeah, but that just boosts his argument.

Exactly.

I referenced Kyle Kuzma earlier in the week, and here's the exact quote. It should be noted that Kyle Kuzma is a puma athlete, so he does have skin in the game, somewhat in terms of the opposition. But he called out Nike for, quote, ruining the nostalgia of jerseys. Nike is ruining that nostalgia. Every year it's a new jersey, and what gets lost is brand identity. Kuzma went on to write on social media, and I kind of agree.

Damn right.

If you watch recent NBA Finals, it doesn't make really any sense. The NBA did away once. Nike came aboard with what your identity is as a home team. You have your road jerseys at home. None of it not you tune in to see the Lakers maybe once out of every three times. They're wearing the gold jerseys at home. And it's a cash grab. Every year in the NBA especially, you have to have a new jersey. Sometimes it works. When the Miami Heat did their Vice City edition jerseys, those sold more than all the other City Edition jerseys combined.

What I'm saying?

But then you had the ransom note jerseys of the last two seasons, these awfully, lazy Heat culture jerseys that they just trotted out, and it does get lost. What is your brand? If you watch the NBA Finals from a couple of years ago, you see the Phoenix Suns wearing a uniform that they stopped wearing. Two years later, you see the Bucks wearing a color that's not in their color scheme. It's stupid, at least for the Finals. Can we make sure that we keep in line with brand identity? Where are your homes? At home. Where are your roads? On the road? It's not too long ago where they stopped wearing alternates in the Finals because that was too much of a risk.

Preach amen.

Have you seen what they've done to the World Series logo? Surely you've seen what happened to the Super Bowl logo. How sad is it? Every year it gets re aggregated that this is what the Super Bowl logos used to look like. They would take on the shape of either the country at the time. In the time of 911, they departed from something that was a little bit more festive and in line with New Orleans, but it would resemble the host city. And all those things were so cool. And now it's more uniform. It's just a Lombardi trophy and some Roman numerals. The World Series logo just the same. And I read about why the NBA Finals, same thing, less special. Why is this happening? And the best reason that I found online and researching it was they're making it mobile device friendly that you can actually discern on your mobile device when you see a finals logo or a championship logo, what year it is and what they're in reference to, because some of the other stuff may be a little bit too busy. Screw that. Devices are getting bigger and better all the time.

Let's bring back some character.

You're railing, though, against sports being greedy, and I feel like which is funny. All of that was revealed to us over the last three years in a way that simply can't be ignored, where all of it was accelerated so much to grab at the dollars that I don't know that that's something that we can rail against.

I'm not telling them to stop grabbing the dollars. I'm not I'm not saying stop printing these. I'm saying stop wearing them so damn often.

No, but my if you're home wear.

A home jersey, right? You want to have a special night or two on the calendar where you sell these jerseys and they're available for retail, go for it. But in the Finals, there is a bit of pageantry that goes to these things that you'd like your home team to look like. Well, a home team.

Damn right.

Like your home team. Yes. You want the Celtics looking like the Celtics. I agree. But Mike, the logo is sponsored now, the World Series logo you were talking about, it's sponsored by Capital One. And Capital One probably has a say in what that logo is going to look like.

I understand that. But what you end up getting is something boring, a boring design that's just super easy to see on your mobile device. And that's what the priority. Not pushing the boundaries of creativity. None of Mean Bowl logo is just the same. There's ways to make a cool the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl back in the day was a festive logo. You can have brain integration and have something that looks creative instead of the bland landscape that sports logos have become.

Not pushing the boundaries of creativity the way that we did with Jason Concepcion and Shay Serrano. I am urging the audience, okay? Chris Cody spent the first five minutes of that segment with his freckled face squeezing between the fingers of his hand, and he was in a great deal of pain. But I am promising you don't listen to that on audio. It's bad on audio, but you got to watch that on YouTube. It's funny on YouTube.

Don Lebotard that's how it's going to end. The mailing it in end of the retirement. Chris, go get me. This is just going to be him coming out and hitting the one and two notes of that kind of thing and you know it and then just giving us finger guns and leaving.

Baby, you should listen to the Greg Cody Show podcast because that's all we do for 55 minutes a week is just say catchphrases. We even make songs about them. And you know it is a song, for crying out loud. That's great. Hopefully that's a Suey nominee for best song. And you know it, baby and you know it stu guts and you know it, baby and you know it, baby and you know it and you know it, baby and you know it this is The Don Levatar Show with the Stugats.

I imagine that someone in the shipping container knows the answer to this question, but I want to ask Greg Cody and Stugats this question. Are you guys familiar with what in football is known as an octopus? Do you know what an octopus is? Either one of you in football?

No.

Football? No, I don't.

Shipping container. Does anyone other than Mike know the answer to this? Because I learned it this weekend. I did not know that this was a thing. And it felt like the way that you would teach football to fourth graders by explaining that Etienne of Jacksonville scored the touchdown for six points and also produced the two point conversion afterward, and therefore he had registered an octopus. Okay, nobody knew that. Only Mike knew that. Everybody else was confused by that.

Okay?

It's not a real thing. That's a stupid well, I thought that.

Scott Hansen just invented it on the fly. I learned it on Sunday for the first time. I'm like, that's not even clever. Scott Hansen, you're better than this. But I googled it and Scott Hansen did not coin the phrase. Sports Illustrated. Mitch Goldrich came up with the term in 2019. We got to do better than that.

It's not great, is it, for like, eight fantasy points? Because they get six for the touchdown.

Eight octa yeah.

What we're doing there, you got it.

Just eight points, putting two and two together.

That guy six and two.

I just think it's exactly well, he's asking if it's for fantasy purposes. If you get eight fantasy points putting.

Two and two together with another two and two together so that you two.

And two is halfway there.

Octopus.

Octa.

That reminds me, the month of October, which a lot of people octagon eight. It's the 10th month, though.

It's weird. Yeah.

It didn't always used to be the 10th month. And why is October not the 8th month?

It should be august.

Put it on the poll, please.

Juju.

Why is October not the 8th month? Yes or no?

They should trade with August.

It should be July, October, September, August, August.

No. Maybe August and September. Back one.

Who you talk to about trading months?

It's a good question.

Shifting the calendar.

Right.

We need to get on the Romans.

I like May for the third month of the year. Better than March.

Why?

Because three letters in May easier.

Well, July could be the Fourth new madness.

And breaking information from Dabbo Swinney, who is responding to people criticizing his criticism of Tyler.

What is Dabbo Swinney now saying in.

Defense of an unusual coaching tirade?

Dabo said, I had some idiot go Old Testament on me. And he got an Old Testament response in a press conference.

Billy, because you have children now and are having trouble keeping up with all sports, you love baseball. Why do I have you advocating for sports spoilers? Secrecy of sports spoilers.

Yeah.

I feel like we've adopted this practice within pop culture and shows and movies and whatever where you can't talk about things for a certain amount of time till everyone's seen them. Want the same thing for sports. I don't think it's that crazy game was late last night. Let's just not talk about it today. I can watch it today. Maybe I'll watch it tomorrow. Give me a week. Give me a week to watch the World Series. I can binge, catch up, and then we're good, right? What's the difference between spoiling a game and spoiling a movie?

Oh, there was a good spoiler from last night.

Well, don't tell me. We'll talk about it next Wednesday.

But you're going to be mikey's got a week.

But they play tonight.

I'll get to tonight on Saturday. Like I'm going to binge this weekend. Okay, it's not a good week. We're trick or treating tonight. Like, not today.

There's an injury.

Don't Mike.

Mike.

It's a big one.

That's enough, Mike.

Next week it's a big one.

I don't think there has ever been a more meaningless World Series in my entire life.

It's the worst.

Why don't do that. You don't care. I know I don't care, but I haven't cared for quite a bit.

Right.

And there have been more meaningful talked about World Series. I don't see anybody talking about outside of my Buddy Master.

You have made great wealth because people care about sports. And since you've gotten to 50, your.

Main take on everything is I don't care and nobody cares.

And that's just not true of baseball.

People who like baseball and care about baseball. Of course, if you don't get one of the big markets every time, people are going to complain.

But if you like baseball, this World.

Series is fun to watch. And that injury is a huge one.

It is. Don't tell Billy, though.

ESPN, 14 hours ago, game one least watched World Series game in recorded history.

I watched that one.

Mike's right.

It was a great game. It was the greatest game.

That was a classic World Series game.

Greatest game one in World Series history, perhaps.

I'm not doubting that. The games are good and competitive, and if you love the sport, you love the World Series regardless. And you probably hate stories like that, and you hate stances like mine. I'm just saying, if I didn't have Jeff passon on mobile alerts, I wouldn't know when these games are. No one I know is talking about it outside of one Ranger fan. Baseball.

Baseball is snake bit. They had the great regular season. Attendance was the highest it's been in like 30 years. They needed the big market, sexy, great World Series that everybody was wanting. They didn't get it.

They had a chance with Phillies and Philadelphia and Houston. The games are quicker, too. That game started just after eight and ended before eleven. That's incredible.

I did see a game of that series. It was on in a bar in Buffalo that I was at, and I know that the Astros mean something and get people riled up, and Bryce Harper is exciting. There's far less excitement around this matchup. Look, I'm in a baseball chat and the baseball chat's not even talking about it.

I mean, don't watch then. I'm not in the Arbitron family. What do I care with the race?

Challenge accepted. And I hate it when people do that about things that I care for. It's just look, I came out with a take that I think it's the least interesting World Series ever, and the stat back me up on that, so I think I win.

A lot of people would say the Stanley Cup Final between Vegas and the Florida Panthers was the worst one they've ever seen, and it was.

But if the ratings bore that out, I'd agree with you.

Why do you care what everyone else is watching? What difference does?

But Dan, no one's debating whether or not the folks in Arizona are interested, or whether or not Texas Ranger fans are interested or baseball fans are interested or gamblers are interested. In general, most fans, sports fans, are not interested in this World Series.

Anytime I do that with any of the teams in basketball, baseball, and hockey, the only one that's an exception here is whoever's in the Super Bowl. People are going to be watching.

But if I take the primary teams out of the big city teams, the teams that everyone has cared about for years, these are both teams that lost 100 plus games two years ago. They got here out of nowhere. It's been a fun postseason, but it's been surprising to find them there.

I don't understand the coverage of sports.

Being I don't care because no one else cares.

I produce this show. This show doesn't care?

Well, no, because I care, Mike. Don't tell me that I don't care about baseball.

Okay, fine. I take that back. You care. Billy cares even though he's catching up Saturday and Saturday you don't care enough to talk about.

No, my point. I don't have any engagement. Look, every time I talk to somebody, it's I don't care. We don't care. Nobody's watching. I don't have anybody to talk.

Tuesday, you guys are tastemakers. You guys can make things interesting for me. You guys have in the past made things interesting.

I tried to make Garcia interesting to you.

I saw a spoiler alert. He got hurt.

What?

Oh, my God.

That seems big. Tuesday, that seems big.

It is weird.

One of the people fighting for how interesting it is didn't watch.

Who?

You.

You.

Well, I'm getting to it.

I think individual times. Look, I don't like the take either.

That.

Oh, I'm not watching. This is boring. It's been boring to me for a long time. Okay. And I do think there have been individual finals that have done nothing to me personally. And sometimes the ratings bear that out. I didn't think Buck Sons was anything to write home about. That wasn't a great finals either.

No one cared.

What was interesting was the run to the finals and the boss and stuff. And I understand what I'm doing is like a local bias for these things. That also counts. I'm talking about what's interesting to me. I'm just particularly interested in the lack of interest surrounding this World Series.

And to your point, Texas is going for its first championship ever since 1972. They haven't won a damn thing. That's a pretty neat story. Arizona hasn't won since 2001. It's not like we're bored with these teams because they're winning every year. This is something totally different. But as a casual baseball fan, it just doesn't interest me. But the Super Bowl is impervious to that. Every Super Bowl matchup is interesting. Everyone.

But you never have decided without watching that you're not interested and it's going to be boring. If you watched it, you'd see their storylines and these are good teams that are exciting to watch.

True enough.

You've just made the decision. This is not interesting to me. I'm not even going to bother.

Hang on. 1 second. Fair point. I know the storylines if the Astros and Phillies make it, and I don't follow the sport, but I know the storylines there. Those are easy to follow. The Diamondbacks and the Rangers, right? All I know about the Rangers is this Garcia guy seems pretty yeah. And not necessarily appointment television for me, but I know he's a huge star. I know that they blew a bunch of saves and spent a lot of money. That's what I know about the Rangers. And I know that the Diamondbacks were pretty bad and they got into the playoffs thanks to a drop.

They got in. Right?

But they got in. And that's what's magical about baseball. And typically these magical runs have something of interest that can transform I don't really know any of the players outside of Zach Gallon. They don't have marquee names. And I know I understand by watching it, I can learn these things, but that's not the case for some of the other teams that were alive.

No, but to Billy's point, I have no doubt that if I watched it, I would be entertained by the World Series. But you have to get me there first, and this matchup doesn't get me to my television sitting there watching baseball.

There are a number of things working against baseball, okay? Numbers and ratings across the board are down everywhere. Baseball in general, as a sport, is now in the shadow of some other sports that have done a better job than baseball at creating stars.

So at this point, the only thing that's getting you guys there is not a star player. Give me star teams. And that's what you're telling me. And it's not there. And that's fine. You're allowed to not watch. You're allowed to not be interested. You're allowed to tell me that nobody.

Cares and that it's boring because the ratings are down. But what I'm telling you, well, the.

Ratings aren't just down, Dan. The ratings are all time worst, bad.

So with Vegas and the Panthers.

In terms of cable ratings, the whole playoff run set cable rating records for TNT.

But one player and one team can make a huge difference, Dan. Like, yes, if Philadelphia is in there instead of Arizona, you have the Bryce Harper storyline. He's a star. And you have a major market team in Philadelphia that people care about. They root for him and they root against them.

Yeah, but if it was the Yankees against the Dodgers, you'd say, it's always the Yankees and the Dodgers. I don't want to watch.

No, I'd be excited about that. No, it's a classic matchup. Of course anyone would be excited about that.

If those two teams played I'd be aware of the storylines. These are two teams that have played rather anonymously. And I'm kind of fascinated by the relative disinterest, not just from sports fans, but baseball fans, too.

Don Lebotard I miss crank windows. Too many unnecessary conveniences. Now, cruise control, please. I've got cruise control built in. It's called my right foot. It controls how fast the car goes. No button or steering wheel. Lever needed. Power steering. There's another one. Why do I give my power to the car, the power that I once had? The car is a ton of metal. I'm a damn college graduate. Stu guts bluetooth HD Radio Satellite. I'll take Am, please, with Wolfman Jack talking through the static. And I'll crank the windows down so everybody can hear. I'm Greg Cody. And that's how it was back in my day. This is The Don Levatar Show with Stugats.

Greg Cody of the Miami Herald has a very popular podcast, the Greg Cody Show, featuring Greg Cody with fine on that podcast. He discusses going to Cuba recently, and I just learned the rest of us just learned here. You just told us Mike was interested. It's the first time I've seen Mike genuinely interested in something that you have to say in a dozen years.

It's been twelve years since Tony Martin. Go get him.

Not since the column in which you encouraged the Miami Dolphins to get Deep threat Tony Martin in 1998.

Yeah, that worked for a couple of games. I think he had one good game.

What was Cuba like?

What did you learn?

It was fascinating. I'm so glad I went. We stayed at the Nacianal Hotel, which is the greatest hotel on the island. It reminded me of the Biltmore, very palatial. But the drive from Jose Marti Airport to that hotel was a squalor. It was just beyond depressing. You look outside the hotel balcony, you see this beautiful water on a beautiful day. Not a single boat on the water, no pleasure crafts. Nobody enjoying the water that surrounds them for obvious reasons. It gave me a first time understanding of why so many people flee that country for freedom and to get away from oppression. The poverty rate there is 75%. You see hundreds of people lined up around the block to get into a medical center because medical supplies are in such short supply.

Or rations for food.

Or rations for food. 100 people at a bus stop to get a bus that's going to seat 20.

But tourists living it up well, El National, drinking big drinks and enjoying the.

Tourist lifestyle is great.

There it is. There were guilt feelings, for sure.

I'm going to turn to this episode because that perspective has always been fascinating to me. How tourists experience it, how I know that there's a lot of people that have left that country, a lot of families that have left that country, and I don't really know many of them that have actually gone back. The people that are interested are people that don't necessarily have that emotional tied to it. So I'm going to seek this out. What's the name of the show?

The Greg Cody show with Greg Cody. Probably should be featuring Greg Cody, but it's with for the time being. No. The joke in my family was that I had bought a T shirt that I threatened to bring to Cuba that said, Libertor tod Peddock about to get himself arrested in Cuba and I decided not to wear no.

Your wife didn't let you?

Yeah, she didn't.

She genuinely decide anything then?

I was pretending to her that I was actually going to wear this. I was going to put it in my luggage and at some point I was going to wear it in Cuba.

And for what? Just to get arrested?

No. She thought I was serious and she was as mad as I've ever seen her in our marriage because we went with another couple. She thought I was going. To ruin the trip, that I was going to be jailed, that it was going to be a big international ruin the wedding. Well, we went there for a wedding, but I didn't. I have the shirt on now, but let's see it.

Let's rip it open. And I want you to read it again in your Gringo style.

In my Gringo style. Libertad paracuba.

There it is. And your wife was furious with you?

Yeah. She did not even want to entertain the joking possibility I would have gotten you arrested, that I might wear this.

Good joke.

I am curious what would have happened. I was detained. I was detained briefly at the Jose.

Martin say detained like it was part of the process where you show your passport.

Everyone goes through that.

Wait a minute. This sounds around you as if you were there for espionage.

You went through custom or you just went through customs. Okay.

Between Christopher and myself, one of us was actually there and the other wasn't. So in due respect to Christopher, who seems to know what went on there, let me explain what did go on. My wife and I were going through the line to show our visas together. A security gentleman pulled us apart, took me to a separate area and asked me six or eight.

A different line?

No. A different area of the airport in a corner? No.

Were you sequestered?

Was there a single swinging light bulb of intention?

No, there was not. But he asked me weird questions. I'm not used to being asked, like what is my religion? And stuff like that.

He asked you what you do for a living?

And I said journalist. I wasn't sure if I should or.

Podcast or the Greg Cody Show.

I should have handed him a little decal. A Greg Cody show decal. But I didn't.

Damn it. Familiar with yeti blanc.

I should have put a decal in the bathroom mirror at the Nacianal. But the weird thing about that, when you leave a Cuban hotel, the Nacianal, best hotel on the island before they let you leave the premises, security goes up to the room and makes sure you didn't steal a towel or anything. Which I thought was pretty funny, because if Marriott or the Hilton tried that in the US. Travelers would be up in arms.

You know what's pretty funny?

The deterioration of your costume over the.

Course of the show. You now look like I imagine Donald Trump looks when he wakes up in.

The morning before he combs it.

It doesn't even look like a lion anymore.

Please use another analogy. Thanks.

With fewer horns, we're going to get to the Bucket of Death in a second. But, Stugats, I don't know how at this point you absorb game shows.

I never see game shows live or tape.

The only time I see Wheel of Fortune or Prices Right or Jeopardy is.

When something intergalactically wrong happens. A contestant has embarrassed him or herself with something that goes viral.

So let's go to this before we.

Go to the Bucket of Death, let's just go to this Jeopardy clip where a bunch of people who ostensibly are very smart about many things are not very smart about sports.

A hall of fame by position 400.

Joe Namath, Joe Montana. Mason what is quarterback?

Right.

Hall of Famer. By position 800, Bill Russell.

Bill Walton. They are basketball centers, Mason.

Hall of Famer by position 1200.

Bob Feller, Bob Lemon, Bob Gibson. Oh, no, they're baseball pitchers. This might be a long category. Two left.

Mason, let's try hall of Famer by position for 1600.

Hey, sports fans, I believe in you. Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, John Stalworth. They are wide receivers. And let's finish it off. Gump warsley. Shrimp Warders Rat Westwood. It just sounds like I'm making people up. These are hockey goalies.

Ice hockey goalies. All right.

Where?

The Grim Reaper has been called out of human being late to a meeting.

Yeah.

We've got a number of people who need to go to the Bucket here who aren't going to be here later in the week. Billy, you are first among them.

Go ahead and reach in there.

My third week of safety, Dan. I will not be picking today.

Then why did you put your hand over the helmet?

Congrats on that.

Thank you.

I like your new look.

Reaper Lucy is going in now. Is that the golden helmet of life again?

Oh, wow. Welcome.

Wow. Swap helmet. Hold on. Swap.

Yeah, but I'm not getting my hope.

We also have imaging that never gets there it is.

Bomb, bomb, bomb playing off the same pot.

I believe that we need to when someone wins the Golden Helmet of Life, remove it for three weeks.

I'll talk to the commissioner about that.

Iron fist.

Yeah, you roll with an iron fist.

Hey, you got it, Stugats.

Go ahead and read.

Yeah, I'm going to rummage dano. I love a good rummage. Rummaging.

I am not respecting Stugats'pick of the Patriots for me last. What not respecting?

I didn't know what to do. I mean, belichick off a win.

We're trying to bleep me.

That's not true.

I'm not going to allow it. You got to throw that back with.

The Seahawks are on the road at the Ravens. They're a five and a half point dog.

They're good. I'm putting them back.

Are they good?

I don't know.

You sure they're good?

It's a fair follow up. I don't even know if the Ravens are good.

No, you kind of know the Ravens are good.

This segment doesn't really work when people get good things.

Rubbish sale.

The hell is this? Big Apple. What does that mean?

The rangers. The islanders.

I think Stugats wait till next WNBA season for the Liberty.

You know I'm going to do that.

All right, let's file it away. Congratulations.

You get liberty.

Game one.

Stugatz was mentioning that this is a Giant sports weekend coming off of what he was calling a sports equinox on Monday.

Trust me, he did not coin the phrase sports equinox.

No, I just said, Happy sports day. And Mike said, why? And I said, because all four majors. It's a rare time, and it was yesterday, not today, where all four of the major sports played on the same day.

29Th time ever. I believe that happened.

Really?

Wow.

And this weekend? What is it this weekend?

Do we have a weekend? Dan? I look for games at every level, every time slot. We have multiple games at each time slot. Like the slate. This weekend. College and NFL is so good. I know. Mike's excited. You have Texas and Kansas State. You have Ohio State. And they're going the Rutgers, and that could be an upset possibility. You have USC and Washington, Missouri and Georgia. You have Alabama, LSU. What? A Saturday. But the Sunday. Oh, the Sunday.

Why? World Series, game three also.

Yeah. Sorry, Billy. You have dolphins? Chiefs 930. Too early. You have Seahawks and Ravens, cowboys and Eagles, Bills and Bengals, jets and Chargers.

What about Dan?

We have a weekend.

How? We have a weekend in selling the weekend was your third or fourth word. Rutgers. How? Explain to me upset alert, Dana. I mean, come on.

Stu got come on.

He was hanging around greg Siano was hanging around Michigan until he saw something that wasn't right with him and he changed the course of college football history.

Ball eligible record.
