Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Ooh.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, it was less about the firings and more about who was being retained. I would say, let's just start with the firing category. I'm shocked the Patriots really did it. There was a lot of chatter about it, but I can't believe they really pulled the trigger. But in terms of those that were retaining, I can't believe the Giants kept Joe Shane and Brian D'Abel. I cannot believe it from...
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Everything we saw in Hard Knocks to obviously Saquon Barkley having the most ridiculous season to the mess with Daniel Jones to winning just three games. All of the drama in New York, it just seemed like this was the time. This isn't working. And just even from things I know, this isn't working.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
But John Mara sticking with his words that he said in October, which was that he didn't want any change. Yet, did you hear him talking about...
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
retaining them like it's like painful for him yeah it's saying that he like these guys are going to have to win every game otherwise they're going to be walking off the field going am i getting fired today and i just think it's a really they're being put a really really hard spot and uh in jacksonville too with gm brent uh trent bulky i think that one was pretty surprising a lot of people thought he'd be out yeah yeah yeah and with doug peterson being gone and it it shocked me to find this out yesterday our good friend uncle chap sent me a very sad jaguar stat
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Bill Belichick.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah. Yeah. That's a good one. Look, I think that job is actually more coveted than you'd realize. You know, when you take a look big picture, I would say, let's just put it in order. I'd go Patriots, Bears, Jags in terms of openings of what coaches I know that I've been talking to want. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Um, and the Jags roster with Trevor Lawrence, there's not this belief around the league that Trevor Lawrence is not the guy, even though he hasn't been great. Um, every coach wants a quarterback. You have to go to a place to have success that has a quarterback in place. That's decent. And that, that can win you games. Um,
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
And those are those three teams, which is why everyone is trying to get those interviews and you see everyone is off and running. But the Trent Baalke situation is, to me, that just, I read it as the owner doesn't want to go through the process of searching for a head coach without some guidance. These guys are not football guys. They don't know. Look at the Jets.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
They hired a search firm of people they fired just to do it so they didn't have to.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
No. Look, I don't like memes, but I don't not like, like, I like the Jets.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
People don't know this. I grew up a Jets fan. I live.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I want to see them successful. But it's the same story. And memes, you feel this. And you're a lot younger than me. So your pain is different than mine. And mine is much worse. They've been making these mistakes that are so ridiculous every single year. And it just seems like they can't get out of their own way, as you guys know and have been following all the reporting.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Well, last week they had Ron Rivera in the building and Mike Vrabel in the building at Florham Park with the team out practicing at the same time. Just wild, but that's what they chose to do. They are casting a very, very wide net, as you're seeing, almost to a point where I wonder if Mike Tannenbaum's getting paid per interview.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
It's just like every... I'm sure you guys were following along yesterday. How many slips went... I must have typed the word jets 50 times yesterday in terms of, you know, coaches that that are going to be taking and general managers interviews with them um look i think aaron glenn brian flores brian greasy arthur smith joe brady i mean matt nagy
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
matt naggy yeah yeah matt naggy's gonna get a job yeah i think in this cycle he's getting a lot of love behind the scenes from teams and um i i think i think naggy was i think the best move he made was to go back to kansas city sort of reset figure out where he messed up what mistakes he made get that confidence back up by being around the you know the greatest to do it um And he's ready to go.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
So I'm interested to see what his staff is going to look like because that's obviously going to be an important element in all this.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yes. That is weird.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
It's also like look at the Bears, right? They technically could have had Ron Rivera, Mike Bramble come in last week. You know, they had that ability to do it.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
they chose not to do it because, well, first of all, the Chicago bears, their first round of interviews are all virtual. Okay. So you're not like Mike Rabel and Ron Rivera, not flying in there. Um, that Ron's not going there by the way, but, um, everything's virtual first.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
And then through those virtual interviews, then they're going to pick the guys for their, for the, for the next round to come in to, to meet in person. And obviously the bears don't think Mike Rabel is too big to interview.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He should like, I know. No. What? no you reported that i i was amplifying your reporting on this we've done this so many times and it's so how big is too big if he lost 20 pounds would he get a job okay i was thinking about i was like i'm not telling them this but i'm gonna tell you yes somebody from the jets said damn he's really big yeah I've been saying this.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, Brick standing next to Brick for sure. And no, Brick and Jack were not in the interviews from what I heard and they're not participating in the ones that are going down with Rex Ryan in Palm Beach. But the awesome listeners of the show will come up to me and ask me if I've destroyed Mike Vrabel's career because I said that teams don't like that he's fat, which is so not what I replied.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He's powerful. My general manager said to me that Mike Vrabel is very intimidating to a lot of people, that his personality, his size. That's all I said. And it wasn't just one general manager.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, people are back channeling, like, hey.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Look, as someone who's had to report a lot of crappy news to you over the last few weeks, I think this will be – I think it's good for you. Okay. I think when the print balking news broke, you're back. You're back. Yeah, right. I think Ben Johnson still has a lot of questions about management in both of those organizations, which I think is pretty well known at this point. There are questions.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Ryan Poles is leading the search. Ryan Poles is not going anywhere. I think there's some Chicago people who believe he's going to get fired at some point here when the search ends. Kevin Warren and Ryan Poles are in lockstep in this search. And they 100% have their eye on Ben Johnson and Mike Vrabel, for sure, as their top candidates.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
So, you know, let's say in this world, and it would be, I guess, Hank's best world. Graves goes to New England. Yeah, I think Ben Johnson, the chance of him landing in Chicago are much better now that Tremblake is in Jacksonville, which if you're a Jags fan, it's like, oh my goodness, are you kidding? What are we doing?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
What are we doing? But I'm interested to hear what happens after these interviews because you find out a lot about these organizations and what their plans are and how they envision themselves and what the philosophies are. And when you find out what kind of questions they've been asking. Yeah. So we'll see what they're after.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you said it because I had somebody yesterday text me, was like, hey, don't forget, there's a world where Ben Johnson stays and looks at this coaching cycle and goes, this is not for me. This is not what I'm signing up for.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah. Yeah. look, he's great. He's an awesome play caller. I love his self-awareness, his understanding of, look, I've only been to the playoffs twice in my life.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I wanted to come back to Detroit to just watch not only this team get back, but watch how they handle success because that's another part of growth as a coach of not just dealing with the problems, dealing with when things are good and how to manage your team and how to make good coaching decisions. So I appreciate that emotional maturity. But at some point here, you got to jump in the pool. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
You got to do this thing.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
You look at it this way. The second the Detroit Lions stink, his chances are going to go away. That's just the reality, right? How many times have we seen this where, like you just mentioned, Lou's defense was tremendous in the Super Bowl. He's considered the Patrick Mahomes killer. And he fired him, you know?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, yeah. I think Lou's one of those coordinators. I don't mean to be insensitive to the process because I'm sure he was hurt and upset about it, but he's one of those, they get fired and you go, all right, which head coaching candidate is going to bring Lou Adarumo on as their DC? And I can tell you there are several right now who are talking to him to try to see what he wants to do next.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
when McVay was out there. He's like the guy for a while there where like you bring that veteran presence of like, nah, look at Brian Callahan in Tennessee, right? He brought his dad.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
To help out, you know, Tennessee Titans fired their general manager, Rand Carthon.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Well, he's got a daddy. His daddy's on the team.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He's got two daddies. Look, I'm going more big picture, right? So you just go back one year ago, just one year ago, when they were making a decision of what to do with the general manager position. After John Robinson obviously was let go, and we know what came with that with the A.J. Brown trade and all the things with communication issues that he had with the owner, they move on.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
All right, so they collaborate with Mike Vrabel at the time and say, okay, what do we want to do next? Vrabel goes, I want to go with my player personnel guy, Ryan Cowden, who's now currently with the New York Giants. Guy kind of understands how I work. We view things the same way. And he's like a real football guy. He's a true scout. And the Titans said, no, we want Ren Carthon. He's the guy.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
And from what I understand, Vrabel just made the suggestion of, hey, like, I like Ren too. He's a great dude. Let's just make him an assistant GM.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
and let them grow on the job with Ryan. And then when the time is right, you know, he can get a GM job and they didn't want to do it. And then in the end, they obviously fired Mike Rubel, gave the power to Rand Carthon here. And now a year later, Rand Carthon is out. So to me, this says they don't know what they want.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
This also says to me that they make emotional decisions, which are the worst times, which is, you know, I think there's a difference too in making emotional decisions. Robert Kraft was emotional talking about the Gerard Mayo, but I don't think that's emotion. I don't think that's just a reaction to a bad year. This is not up to the standard I need this team to be.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
This in Tennessee is, I have to blame someone. I'm sick of it. Someone needs to fix this. Ran, it's not you. Goodbye.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Correct. And look, it's human nature to be emotional about it and be frustrated and angry. But I think they were emotional when they fired their head coach last year. And it sounds like they're emotional here. I don't know if that's a great quality to have when you're running a business.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
No, I think the chances of him staying in Dallas are fair. I think that could happen. Look, I know that they did a little bit of work on some head coaches behind the scenes over the last few weeks, so it wouldn't shock me if they also move on.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I just don't like how they're going about their business, how they're just kind of hanging them out to dry right now trying to figure out what he's going to do next. This entire year was really hard for him, not knowing what's going to be next. Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Look, I think if Mike McCarthy does wind up moving on or the Dallas – Jerry says, yeah, we're going to go in a different direction, I 100% think he has a good shot at getting that Chicago Bears job.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
What's the worst – I've thought about this about – Dan, I like – David Shaw. I don't know why I'm imagining your pain, but I have. I'm like, what would move Dan so angry that I don't even want to be around him?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
They go on to be head coaches, right? Arthur Smith, Matt LaFleur. He obviously knows how to pick a good OC. So that's a good point. Anthony Weaver is a name that I'm hearing a lot of teams are putting in for. He spent three years with the Baltimore Ravens. Right now he's the DC for the Miami Dolphins coach. He was with the Texans. Another large man.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
But he, I don't want to say he's like Vrabel light, because that's taking away from Anthony's abilities individually. But he has a great way of connecting with players, holding them accountable. But he's just a little bit more laid back. Like he's cool. Yeah. But he's smart. So I can tell you people in Baltimore, they think that this is going to be the run he gets. This is the cycle.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He'll be a head coach. It's time. So you shouldn't be disappointed if that becomes a real thing.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I love that.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Well, going back to what we were talking about, how everyone knows there's such a small chance of getting those jobs. So you do it. You take it. Even if you're not ready, you just do it. But I think Cliff has had some time here, time off, away, as we know. He traveled the world to sort of recenter himself.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
And now that he's having so much success as a coordinator – and he's told me in the past, too – I like play calling like all the other crap that comes with being a head coach and all the headaches that you have to deal with and the things that you have to think about and manage is, you know, it's exhausting.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Um, so I do think he will take an interview, but I think when it comes down to it, it may be one of those situations where he decides to just stay in Washington.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I am not happy about this. This is concerning to me. This has been over two weeks. Look, Wednesday's practice day is going to be the most important part of this process, obviously, because we'll know if he's cleared. But we're obviously starting here. The playoffs and the starting quarterback is still in concussion protocol. So, yeah, Max, you should be freaking out, my friend.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Correct.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
But it did tweet it on Wednesday. But remember, Max, this is this is this is the news that you have to watch. he will get tested again. If he gets tested and fails, he's got to go through the whole thing again.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
oh yeah it's look i'm at a point now where i manage kevin the way you guys manage max like it's the same you're the same person so i love this guy i know what he's dealing with just all the obnoxiousness and the concerns and the my favorite thing to do because we're always we have a big calendar in our kitchen because we're busy and the big calendar you need the big calendar yeah we're like a 1983 home like it's just gigantic instead of using phones yeah
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
And I will just do this. I'm like, well, if the Eagles get bounced out of the first round, I mean, just you want to cause havoc. I've been planning things. I've been planning things on Sundays and I put them in there. He's like, I don't know why I'm putting things in.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
She said it.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I know. Memes, you do hate my reporting. I have noticed it. And I realize that you, I think, I don't think you hate me. I just think you hate the information that I'm putting out there. Is that true?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
It's brilliant. It's brilliant. I love what Rex is doing right now. I'm all behind this campaign. It's ridiculous, but it's smart because He's telling the Jets, I want this job. I'm going to do this job. You know when you're so overwhelmed by someone's confidence that you're like, wait, maybe they are good. He's telling them what he wants them to believe.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Whereas you think Mike Vrabel was sitting there going, I want this job. I'm doing this job. I know how to fix this. Ron Rivera wasn't doing that. So you're getting a different message. So he's going to separate himself. To me, it's worth the risk.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, so the Tom Brady influence is bigger than I think people realize. I know he's the minority owner, and there were some question marks of like, all right, well, he'll be in the background. Has Tom Brady ever been in the background of anything? He's full on in the decision-making for the Vegas Raiders.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He talks to Mark Davis all the time, and I think you're going to see tons of Tom Brady ways and just influence on how this team is going to run. So I think the question that we probably need to consider is, is Tom Brady an Antonio Pierce fan? Does he like what he sees?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I don't think it has to do with the Giants. I just think, look how Tom likes to do things. It's discipline. It's New England, right? It's the Patriot way. It's tight. It's accountability. It's all the things that we know. It's everything that Hank is. This is just, I don't think Antonio Pierce runs his team that way. You know, I'm not saying one is better than the other.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I just think when it comes down to it, it goes back to that comfort of I know I can operate with that. So who's left that can do something in the way that Tom Brady wants it? Brian Flores, Mike Vrabel, right? There's New England again.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Are we doing this again?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He's meeting with the Bears. He's meeting with the Saints.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I'm curious when he's going to meet with the Patriots. That's the one I haven't seen yet. Okay. I'm going to go dig on that. Okay. And Hank is all in on this, right? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
He reported Mike Raybould to the Patriots?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
That's good.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I actually think that's the least... interesting hire though like it's like yeah it's great and it's cool and returns home but that that's not like a shocking move if that happens no i actually like expect it to happen i want it to happen so it's like the the chess board starts to clear up a little Yeah. I mean, if he picks the Jags, then I'm like, holy cow. That came out of nowhere.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Fine. I don't think those two are going to be in the cycle aggressively. I don't know what Sark wants to do, but every coach in college likes that buzz of the NFL. Bill O'Brien is the name I'm watching. Ooh.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
i know he loves boston college and they love him up there um but that's a name i'm watching matt campbell is a name i'm watching okay yeah i don't know about but bill o'brien i think i said raiders would make a lot of sense for bill o'brien there's another new income connection i forgot about that i didn't i didn't connect that that's great yeah um
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Look, the question was, could I see these college coaches maybe getting an opportunity? Like, yeah, but I haven't heard any of these yet. But those are the names if I had a guess at this point. I'd keep an eye on them.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
They just like to do it. But they don't have to.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, they just like to let the world know. They just like to let the fan bases go, look, we're working.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
Yeah, see, I would... What about the teams putting out comments that they're retaining their coaches and GMs? When did we start doing this?
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
But that's how I would do it. But don't you think if you have to put out a statement, like, do you think the Chiefs are going to put out Andy Reid? That would be funny.
Pardon My Take
Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
The Rams are like, we love Sean McVay. He's allowed to return back. Like, no. Dang. Yeah.

Dianna Russini On Coach Firings/Hirings, Brandon Walker On CFB, Who Is Under The Most Pressure Wild Card Weekend + Guys On Chicks
I am hoping this all comes together on your 40th birthday. That is the hope for me. So I can't wait to give you that big, big present that Josh McCown's your head coach. Bye, guys.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I've invited. PFTs come on. I've sent you numerous.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I never have. He wasn't very good. So my thought was, all right, I'm going to avoid these guys for a bit. Let them find their rhythm again. And then I'll invite big cats.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
What she did was... I know you guys were so nervous about us jumping you guys as the number one sports podcast on the planet. Scoop City.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
The fact that you guys did not go out at all last night. That is the buzz.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Babies, you turned 40 and you lost all your stamina.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Texting with you guys like, no, go to bed. It's 845. No, I stayed out till 10.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Fair. So I'm not 40 yet, so I don't know what that's going to feel like. Sick flex. But I'm learning that it hits you hard, huh? Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
What's that?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
That's the amount of downloads. I believed it. 42 is the amount of downloads I got.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I said that the Jets discussed with Aaron Rodgers what this year would look like if he stayed a Jet, right? How are we going to do this Pat McAfee thing? We would really like you to cut back on a lot of this stuff, the distractions, so we could all be one, keep it all out, new chapter, new New York Jets. There was no ultimatum ever made.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Aaron Rodgers is not in New York anymore because he can't do Pat McAfee. It was never that hard of a conversation. It was just, look, I was giving the Jets credit through the whole thing of how about them taking their team back? Hey, Aaron Rodgers, you haven't performed up to the level that we've wanted you to. You're mad in rating tips.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
We've given you every player, everyone that you want, and it's still not good. So we're going to start treating you the way everyone else should be treated. And I think Rodgers appreciates that.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Like, I think he's the type of player where maybe it appears that he wants that special treatment, but he lives in a space of the best coaches lead by holding the best players accountable and everyone gets that same kind of treatment. And I think that's what the Jets were trying to do. And in the end, I think both sides were like, yeah, no, this isn't going to work. Not just because of that.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I think there's a series of reasons.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Yeah. So look, Cleveland is yelling from the rooftop. We are not moving him, but just we've seen this a million times. They say that now, but I think when we get closer to the draft, we'll see some movement. I think Philly's going to try to go hard here. I think Howie is going to make some decisions here in free agency and determine who he can live without.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And I think some of these guys that are up, he's going to be comfortable walking away from. despite the fact they obviously just had so much success with this roster. But I think you make those kind of moves and you take a big swing for someone like Myles Garrett. And Howie will tell you, and I'm sure Nick said it too when he spoke to you guys, they build their team through their lines.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
So what better answer than bringing in Myles Garrett?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
It was my second year. The second year. It was the first year it was revealed. Yeah. And I did not know that. And I was out to dinner and my phone was blowing up with people in football, very angry that I voted for people that I voted for. So that stunk. I wish I knew that. Would it have changed your vote? It would not have changed my vote, but...
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I love Josh Allen, and I am avoiding him for a really long time. I'm well aware.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I feel like I have to apologize. I still believe my vote was right. I think I was looking at it differently than I think the other voters were. I felt like there were games in which the defense in Buffalo helped Josh more than
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
in winning those games where i felt like lamar had to do it more on his own because he didn't have that type of defense this year that that was kind of how i viewed it um i it was look there were days i woke up and i thought it was josh or days i woke up with those lamar i like stressed about it but in the in the end i did vote for what you told me i believe it was the tuesday of super bowl week
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Yeah, I purposely lied to you because I knew how much you had on that. And I just thought it would be fun to play games with you there. That's very funny. How'd that turn out?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
The excitement in your face when I told you that Lamar was winning that whole thing was, you're like, oh my God, oh my God. You were shaking, you're like freaking out about it.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
How'd you guys do in New Orleans?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Eagles won the Super Bowl.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Did you go to the casino?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You guys killed at the casino in Vegas.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Remember you guys were posting photos of like all these, that was a little gross actually.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
That was the, I've done 12 Super Bowls. That was the best Super Bowl I've ever been to. Everything from just the logistics, the excitement. There was something to do everywhere. You didn't need a plan. You could just go anywhere. And it was fun.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And I just thought the fact that the Eagles just absolutely destroyed the Chiefs, the celebration afterwards was one of the best post games I've ever covered to in any sport. Obviously, you saw Saquon going berserk. I've never seen him like that. Ever. Like even in some, he's had success, obviously, in his career. And that it meant so much to him.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And I think it was such a, yes, I knew I was this guy, despite the fact that New York didn't think I was.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Thank you. Yeah, it was hard. And you guys are, you know, you knew what was going on with me on the mental side of it. It was hard to say, I love my job. I love ESPN. I was having success there. But I felt like I needed to go somewhere else. to challenge myself. And this job is so much harder than what I was doing on TV. It's not even close.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Like to have to write what you know and the written word compared to what you can say in TV, I just feel like it lasts forever. And once you collect that information and you put your name on it and it never goes away, one, I'm proud of it, but it's definitely challenging me. I'm getting exactly what I wanted. I can tell you that.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
That is so funny that you say that. Very smart. You think I planned it that way. I did not. Okay. So I was doing it on Sunday and you know, it wasn't really getting much traction because Adam and Ian, you know, they're so great at what they do and they were putting out news and I was putting out the same stuff. So it was like, why are people going to read my column if they've already seen it on TV?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Um, Um, so I was trying to, when we can just get ahead of stuff because I wanted to go to an actual game on Sunday. So I was like, you know, why don't we just publish this on Saturday? I just threw it out there thinking it wouldn't really result in anything. And it was the best decision I made because I got ahead of the news cycle.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Whereas like Saturday can put out all the stuff about the games and, and obviously people want to, want to hear it and read it.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Yeah. I write it like midnight sometimes. That sucks. No. So no, my Friday nights are horrendous. I remember you used to write a column.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Remember that stress you used to have writing that? I mean-
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Okay, I think there's a little difference in what you're writing about.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
No, no, yours was good, but it wasn't journalism.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You know, so it's stressful when... you're putting information out that you know is going to piss people off too, right? Because that's the other part of this is when you report stuff, I think people just take the information and run. The rest of my day is filled with taking calls from agents, players, PR people. Hey, I didn't like the tone of that. What do you mean by this?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Even when I write like glowing stuff,
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
reports about teams or a coach or a player someone's always mad so i publish saturday morning at 10 a.m i spend my whole day dealing with the memes of the world yeah he's right there someone's always mad he's right there i can feel it yeah what means why are you so angry memes get out get out of here let's go let's have it you're you you have a lot of a lot of hate in your heart
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
No, I didn't. I never said the word ultimatum.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You can write back here. Take a video of me. Ready? I didn't report that. Listen to Scoop City. Hi. What's his name?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Oh, he was the one with the original... Jack, I'm so sorry I took the name. Either way... The Jets never made it in an ultimatum, and I never reported that. I'm sorry you took it that way. And who cares at this point?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You can listen to the podcast, and you can read my article, and you can see what it says.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Why are you guys on such a hunt to find out or discover if my reporting is wrong? It's never been inaccurate. Not one thing I've ever reported about the New York Jets has been wrong.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
So we don't really have a beef.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
What else? Did the Madden stuff bother you?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
The Madden stuff.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
So you should have put that in there. I didn't criticize it. I didn't have an opinion about it. I just said, here are the facts.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Oh, so you want dysfunction on every other team? You want me to go find that?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Not as much as in New York. Look, I think... You're so mad. Oh my gosh, I broke your heart. I didn't mean it that way. Look, I think things are going to get better. How about the fact that Woody Johnson came out and said, I need to be a better owner? I thought that was awesome. That was self-awareness. I don't think the article caused that.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I think he's looking at his body of work going as an owner. This isn't good. This isn't good at all.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
What else can I do?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I can't win with you. That's what I realized.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I represent the stuff that bothers you. And I don't want to. You realize I love the Jets. Like I grew up a Jets fan.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
No, I'm good there. I don't want to be friends. I just want to be cool. I feel like there's just so much tension between us. Because Max and I used to have a little tension because of our situation.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Wait, you are questioning my... We don't have to talk about that reporting.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
We are not going through this again, but I can tell you... Stand by. I will stand by that one for a long time.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Dan, I wrote some stuff about the bears.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
How did, did you meet?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
So that's what I thought fans wanted as well. I thought that type of reporting and journalism was something that was missing because there's not a lot of outlets that are doing that type of reporting anymore. But I found in New York, the fans actually don't want to know. They don't want to just say it's awesome.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Except the Madden ratings are looked at by the adult general manager, not the child of the owner.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Brick is our guy. I hope Brick turns out to be an awesome owner. We'll see. He's getting his feet wet.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Well, the receiver market, right? The whole Bengals situation? Like, how are they going to pay all these guys? How?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Yeah. He doesn't want to be tagged. They came out publicly and said what I've been hearing is that they do want to work on a long-term deal. But I can tell you teams that are interested in T are operating like he's not leaving Cincinnati. Most elite thinks he's going to get tagged in the end, as you said, but I don't think that's going to be the good play.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
But I just have a hard time doing the math of how this can all work, of how they can bring all these guys back when they're claiming it's going to be done soon, too. And if they do, that's awesome. So I'm keeping an eye on that one. And then just Kansas City. We saw what the Eagles did to them. They've got to get better on the offensive line. They're trying to get Trey Smith done.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I think he was going to hit free agency too. But then they saw what happened to Patrick in the game and they're like, shit, we probably need to bring him back. So I like this idea that the Chiefs are going to revamp here and try to fix it the way they did after Tampa because it looked almost identical. I felt that same panic. And I think we saw it in Patrick, right?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
After the second play, it was like, this is not the normal play.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And it's important to because to differentiate because I think a lot of teams talk about what they want to do. And there's those that are actually doing it. The Denver Broncos are on their way. Yeah. You know, I think Sean Payton's got one of the best like grips on a team. He's so good at knowing what's best for them. He's hard. Like you go to their practices. They're brutal to watch.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
He's a little bit like Andy where they, you know, they just go hard all summer. But just the fact that he hit on Bo Nix and they're just going to continue to build around him and they've got him on a young rookie deal and they've got a little swag to them. They want to compete. They want to play the Chiefs. So I'd say they're a team and New England right now.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I'm probably most excited to see what they're going to do. This is a gigantic offseason for the New England Patriots for the future. I don't think they're going to be that great next year. I think they'll probably win seven, eight games. Well, actually, that's probably good considering where they came from or where they were last year. But I think it's 26, right?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Where I think that's where they're going to be contenders. They're going to be guys that are going after giving Josh Allen a problem.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I know it's, it's funny. It's that idea of like, you don't go to the grocery store hungry, right?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I was going to say, why do you always crave weird stuff when you go to the grocery store, right? I'm like, I'm eating Twizzlers, but I really want to, I want eggnog, I think. It's like, that makes no sense.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I see Dan last night and he goes, by the way, what an observation by you. I got the eye for that. Because I walked up to the table drinking water, which I guess in Indy, nobody's drinking water. And I'm definitely never drinking water. But I was like, I need to take a break. I've been going so hard from New Orleans to now. I need one hour. And I just happened to see you when I had that water.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And you gave me that look. You looked in my soul like... You went for three, you psycho?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I can't do it. Physically, mentally, my husband is the happiest I have ever seen him right now because of the Eagles winning.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I don't want to rock the boat. I don't want to shake things up in my house because... Good vibes, yeah. Like, you guys know how it is. Like, I'm on the road. I got the two little guys back at home. Kev hasn't even texted me one thing since I've been here. No, actually, he did. He asked me about something with Jalen Carter, just a stupid football question.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Oh, constantly, constantly. But in terms of, like... the happiness, the joy in our home right now is better than it has ever been. It wasn't like this after we got married, not after Mikey, not after Joey. It is so good. And we gotta squeeze this thing out all the time. Every time I see Howie, I just hug him like, you saved my marriage. Things were so rough right there.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I wasn't too sure what they were going to be.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Max had Sirianni. I was doing the same thing because there were people around the league looking at it the way I think the fans were looking at it, which is with all of this talent and all the pieces that Howie has put to assemble this championship team. The coach can't be the reason this doesn't happen. And so credit to Sirianni for, I think, growing in all of this.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And he even sounds like he's grown from it. He was tremendous. He talked to me right after they won, right on the field. And he was so reflective of just owning that it hasn't been perfect.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I'm like, yeah, I wasn't good. I was too emotional.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Oh, I think the Giants are going to try to get up to trade out with the Titans. I think they're going to be aggressive in this. They're obviously also keeping their eye on Stafford. And Tennessee is open for business. I think the approach that they are going to have headed into this is we need to get some picks. We need to continue to build… Because they were the worst team in football last year.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
After having a free agency spending, you know, they went crazy bringing in players, but they didn't really find any pillars. You know, they didn't find any blocks that they were to use to continue to get better in the future. So... That's really where I'm keeping my eye on. And I think the Raiders are going to be making moves.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I have my eye on them outside the Stafford thing, as I mentioned before. Tom Brady has a lot of influence on what's going on there. And he wants to shake it up there. They want to do it that way. So we'll see what happens. Max Crosby is obviously a player that tons of teams are interested in if he'd be made available. But I think Brady's smart enough to know you don't move a guy like Max Crosby.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Isn't it?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
They keep saying that they're going to be extending him or at least working on it, but until you have a deal, right? It's like, so we're going to get to your deal, you know, deal.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Um, I think his situation is different than Miles Garrett. Miles wants to get paid, of course. He wants to be paid the highest in that position, but he really wants to win. He's got this attitude. It's not happening here in Cleveland. I don't like your plan, and I think we could all agree that the plan's not great. I don't even know what they're going to do in terms of quarterback here.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I think they're going to wind up drafting one, probably. That's definitely on the table for them. They poked around on the Stafford stuff a little, but they're not as aggressive as the Giants and the Raiders at this point, but
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I know it doesn't shock you guys because you know me for so long. But my dad said this to me once. He's like, you're the smartest dumb person I know. Like I have moments where I think I'm- That's a good place to be. That's really good. I can be really- You're actually like that. You are the poster child.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You have some brilliant, like just you're a talented human being.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
But I've heard you say things where I'm like- Yeah.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
There's a good way to keep people, uh, you know, ready for, or unready for, for, for, for what you got.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I'd heard they did a little bit. I'd heard that. They did some backdoor stuff. They weren't sure they were really going to move on from Mike. So let's start there, right? So there was obviously not some big plan, right? Because most of these teams know, all right, we're firing this guy. Let's start putting the feelers out.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Let's beat and think about what it is that we're looking for in this next head coach. But I think for Dallas, they weren't sure how that was going to go with Mike. I think they thought he'd stay. I thought that they'd be able to knock out a contract. They obviously were not able to do that after having conversations with him.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And at the time, Belichick was already kind of doing the North Carolina thing. And I'd heard that Dallas had some feelers out to him. So if that's their search, I mean, they probably could have been better. They probably could have gotten more opportunities with other coaches if they made the call earlier. So you could be critical of that.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Very clunky. And I can tell you, though, from the perspective of the Dallas Cowboys, Brian Schottenheimer had to be a piece of it. Whether that meant head coach, OC, they were not parting ways with Brian Schottenheimer. So, yeah, surprised that he's the head coach, but not as surprised knowing that that was part of the formula for what they wanted in next.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I remember, so that story came out and, you know, as a reporter, you start making calls like, is this real? Like, this is crazy. And everyone that I trust was like, this is not real. This is not like, I'm going to go hard on this. If I go hard, you know, the chances of Dion tweeting about it are probably good. Like, if I'm wrong on it. So I'm like, you know, I'm just going to go for it.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
And obviously he panned out to just be light flirting.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Like a call of like, how are the kids?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
An ultimatum.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Why not? Why don't you want to do it?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I mean, look, coming off New Orleans, it's hard to imagine the travel. If you took the logistics out of it, would you be into it?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
It's our game. It's America's game.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You think the teeth would affect your enjoyment of the game? The teeth are bad in London. I'm sorry. They are.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Okay, what if it was in Italy and we got to eat really well? Perverts.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Are you calling Italians perverts?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I'm open to it.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I don't like that. I like the groove.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You can't depend on me to say keep it safe.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
This is a bad, bad opinion that you have. As somebody who is complaining about the travel to every Super Bowl, you're right. Taking a 10-hour flight for that week would be miserable.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I tweet every time they win, like, I can't imagine what it's like in Washington. Holy crap, Jalen's amazing. Dan Quinn, coach of the year. What are you talking about?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I was watching OV the other day. How? how is he still playing? You want to talk about us being old? Like he is old and he's out here chasing. Look, I think this, it's almost unbelievable. I think that's what it is. It's, it's been so good. And if it appears from ownership down and the way they're building it, that it's almost hard to fathom that it's real, you know?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
So it's not that I don't want to jump on it. It's just, I need it. I need one more year to be like, okay, they're really good. This, this is great. Cause my hopes now are high, but, My hopes are high for the Bears. If they can improve Caleb, get him an offensive line, get a couple of weapons on defense, I think.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
But Ben Johnson seems like he's the guy.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You think that's how it actually came out? That's what memes called it. The Diana Rossini podcast?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
You don't like Scoop City?
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
I told you how people were asking me in football if it was a podcast about ice cream.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Have all the Bears fans tune in thinking that they're going to give the hot takes about Chicago.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Yeah. Another good idea. So I'll take it. I'll take it and run with it. So thank you.
Pardon My Take
Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni, Dianna Russini, Matthew Stafford Staying In LA + We’ve Made It To March
Should I have a third?

Let's just go for two back-to-back Super Bowls.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
The Marshal on Lattimore. So, Mike, way to be on top of the stories yesterday.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Busy day. Yeah, busy day. It was. It was. You know, it's funny, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
It's a good observation to make and something for me to keep in mind as I'm doing this stuff, because as you guys know, because I talk about it so much on the show, the pressures and the urgency that comes with breaking news, especially on a trade deadline show or trade deadline day where you're competing against everyone and everyone's trying to get all the nuggets and scoop as fast as they can.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
But the way Twitter is set up now, it's so difficult to figure out who's doing what and getting what when. And it's become such a messy space that it's not as clean and clear as I felt like it was, you know, four or five years ago, where it was very obvious, you know, what the big story was.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
So, Mike, while I would love to take an opportunity here to make fun of you for it, I kind of get it, especially on Election Day. But without a doubt, Dan, the Marshawn Lattimore thing, Ja, genau. Wer ist der? Es muss ein großer Name sein, weil ich immer fühle, dass dies die Tage sind, an denen wir überrascht werden.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Und wenn du dich zurückguckst auf all die verschiedenen Handelsabläufe, da sind tatsächlich nicht viele Namen, richtig? Ich meine, Jalen Ramsey ist wahrscheinlich der größte Name, vielleicht Amore Cooper ein paar Jahre ago. Du bekommst nicht wirklich viele große Namen. Das ist nicht das NBA, weißt du?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Yeah, but let's go back to when Dan Quinn was hired. Do you remember how unsexy that was? Do you remember, because they were going after Ben Johnson, the Detroit offensive coordinator. Everything appeared to be pointed in the direction of that happening and then he didn't want to coach there. And that fell through. So then Washington was left scrambling and they spoke to a bunch of
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Coaches and Dan Quinn was probably out of that group the biggest name. But it still wasn't having people in Washington go, oh man, this is it. This is the answer. So I kind of like the fact that he came in here with not a lot of expectations, just hope that he could build some sort of culture. And he certainly come through. And to Dan's point, like having a quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
I mean, isn't that the answer to everything? You have a quarterback, you're good. If you found the guy, He's gonna make everybody look like a star. And that's what Cliff Kingsbury looks like right now. It's what Dan Quinn. Just don't mess it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Because they were trying. The Bengals were trying hard. They were calling around. They're trying to improve their defense. They have belief that they can offensively They make a run here specifically, but they know their defense is older. This isn't the same Bengals defense we saw in the Super Bowl a few years ago. Same coordinator, but the same players, but they're just older.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
So they were looking at corner, they were looking at tackle, they were trying. But they couldn't find a trade partner. I mean, I was talking to people up until like a minute before four o'clock and they were still in conversation and they couldn't get it done, which would have been, I think, a really big story, just knowing the history in Cincinnati.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
They've only acquired two players in 53 years by the trade deadline in season. So they did get a running back yesterday, but I thought on the defensive side of the ball, Sie würden es tun. Ich habe aber auch auf Raiders und den Browns geschaut. Wie viele Anrufe hast du von Miles? Wie viele Anrufe hast du von Max Crosby?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Und ich habe keine Antwort von Vegas bekommen, aber ich habe von Leuten in Cleveland gehört, die niemanden angerufen haben. Sie wussten einfach nur, dass Miles nicht für das Geschäft offen war. Sie waren das nicht, egal was. Diese Tür wurde geschlossen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Jerry und der Verteidigungsvorsitzende hatten den Eindruck, dass Mingo aus dem Draft rauskommt. Ich werde seine Entscheidung nicht verteidigen, weil ich ein bisschen überrascht war. Er war nicht auf meinem Bingo-Board, wie wir es nennen. Dein Bingo-Board? Ich habe nicht wirklich erwartet, dass Dallas einen Move macht. Das kam über die letzten paar Tage, als er seine Meinung verändert hat.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Und einfach mit Mingo zu gehen, macht mir einfach nicht viel Sinn, wenn ich weiß, was er in Carolina gemacht hat, was nicht wirklich viel ist. Aber ich denke, das ist, wo Jerry eine wirklich schwierige Saison hatte. Denn, schau, du musst ihnen Kredit geben, sie waren großartig beim Draften. Sie sind gut bei der Erfindung von Spielern. Ich weiß nicht, worum sich das bewegt, aber das ist nicht...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Das macht Sinn für ein Team, das jetzt einen Verteidiger hat, der potenziell auf IR gesetzt werden wird, wie Jerry gestern erklärt hat. Und sie haben viel mehr Probleme als nur am Ressort. Und ich glaube nicht unbedingt, dass Mingo das Antworten sein wird, aber er hat sich offensichtlich sichergestellt, dass das gut sein wird.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Und für Carolina, ich meine, sie sind Gewinner in diesem, dass sie das bekommen haben, was sie zurückbekommen haben. We knew Mingo was on the trade block. We knew that they were open to it. But I know that Carolina did not think that that was going to be Dallas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Absolutely. Absolutely. What was the point of bringing him here? Why? Thank you. It's a waste. I'm trying to think of what the comp in football would be at this point. Was würdest du sagen, war der größte? Ich glaube, das ist wie Kirk Cousins, richtig? Er hat all diese Geld gespart, um ihn in Atlanta zu bringen. Sie müssen es gewinnen. Nein, es sind die Jets. Es ist Aaron Rodgers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Es ist Aaron Rodgers in New York. Das ist es. Perfekt. Also ja, ich würde das gleiche sagen in Miami, wie ich es in New York würde.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Because I wasn't looking at the superstar quality, I was thinking money. I was thinking about how much they paid him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Ich habe Mike Tomlin als Coach des Jahres in meiner Meinung. Wow. Für das, was sie tun. Ja, die Erwartungen sind wirklich niedrig. Was werden sie mit der Verteidigungsposition tun? Sie haben es irgendwie herausgefunden. Sie bringen Mike Williams in die Hoffnung, dass, weißt du, Russ ein paar Mondballen aufschlägt und er für diese aufschlägt. Und siehst du, Mike kommt aus einer Verletzung.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Es hat nicht in New York gearbeitet. Alle da waren glücklich. Er ist weg. Er ist glücklich. Er ist weg. Es war ein schöner Break-up. Wir haben Aaron Rodgers Reaktion zu Mike Williams gesehen. Es hat nicht funktioniert. Also der Fakt, dass Pittsburgh eine Receiverin ist, die sie seit neun Monaten im Markt haben, acht Monate.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Jeder einzelne Receiver, der vorhanden ist, hat Pittsburgh geholfen, so fühlt es sich an. So they land here and look, George Pickens obviously has been their go-to guy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
And so now that the fact that they've got two options and look, the run game is so good right now in Pittsburgh that even if Williams isn't elite or the Mike Williams that we saw once before when he was with the Chargers, I still think it gives the Steelers a really good option. And then getting Preston Smith. You know, I reported over the weekend that the Packers were shopping him and
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Ich konnte nicht glauben, dass die Green Bay Packer Fanbase so verrückt war, dass sie versucht haben, einen Superbowl zu machen. Warum verletzen wir einen unserer Pass-Rushers? Aber wenn du in dem Spiel gesehen hast, dass sie ihn nicht so viel benutzen und auch kontraktuell, würde es keinen Sinn machen, Green Bay zu behalten.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Also ich dachte, aus der Sicht der Packer, das war ein wirklich guter Schritt für sie, um
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
thinking future but also for for pittsburgh just to add to a defense that really carries this team so yeah a team that we didn't talk too much about this off season in terms of them being potentially good i don't think any of us had them um i think it's been pretty impressive and the fact that they were this um aggressive in the at the trade deadline just goes to show you what they believe in
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
While I had firm belief that the Carolina Panthers were not going to trade Bryce Young, I always left that door open. I was checking in all the way up to the final minute there, just knowing that... Es war keine tolle Reise, zu wissen, dass es nicht funktioniert, mit Bryce Young und den Carolina Panthers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Und zu wissen, dass es Teams in der Liga gab, die dachten, dass ihr Programm die Möglichkeit geben würde, seine Karriere zu vermeiden und den Talent zu finden, den wir alle in Alabama gesehen haben und den Talent, den viele Leute in der Liga denken, dass er noch hat. So that was that was probably the the the outside the box name.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
I was just keeping an eye on making sure I didn't get an egg in the face just because, you know, it's such a it's a weird time of year when you're doing this stuff, too, because you have to once again figure out who's lying, who's being open with you about what's actually truly happening. The Kansas City Chiefs were working phones, which is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
wild considering how good this roster is how good the defense is but they were in on marshawn latimer they were they were trying to get that done but obviously the saints were asking for too much for what the kansas city chiefs could give up so that didn't work out and the new england patriots i expected them to be sellers i thought they were gonna get rid of more guys and and they didn't um also in new york
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
aziz odulari uh was probably one of the bigger names uh he he's a young defender who's had a really good season this year he'll be a free agent in the off season and i i had many different teams asking me about him over the last week and joe shane in new york he had a big price for him he was not moving off him unless he was really blown away and i guess i just i'm trying to understand what the mind set is there in new york because
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Wenn sie denken, dass sie sicher sind, weil ihr Leiter ihnen gesagt hat, dass sie sicher sind, warum spielst du nicht das, was für die Zukunft smart ist? Weil er ein freier Agent werden muss. Also behältst du ihn nur, weil. Ich weiß, dass das Teil der Gründe ist, weil sie gezwungen sind. Sie haben einige Verletzungen. Aber ich dachte, dass er ein Spieler wäre, der sich bewegen würde.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Also zurück zu dem, was ich vorhin erwähnt habe. Es gab keinen großen Super Stud Namen, der sich bewegen würde. Und wir alle wussten das.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Let's talk about something else. I'm with you. Der Marshawn-Lattimore-Move ist 100 Prozent, um die Eagles zu spielen. Das ist es.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Did you guys see my tweet the other day?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
The best part is people think that that was me. It's obvious someone had my phone.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Here's the best part about it. It was Michael. He's three. I thought you were going to say your husband.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

In Bezug auf die Philadelphia Eagles. Er ist ein Idiot. Und in der liebsten Weise. Er ist... Leute, was ihr seht, wenn ihr Leute auf dem Link schaut, das ist er. Ohne die Gesichtspain, weil, weißt du, zu gut für das. Aber es ist das gleiche. Es ist das gleiche. Also, ja, das Beste über den Treat war, es ist nur ein Bunch von Lettern und Emojis. Er weiß nicht, er kann nicht mal seinen Namen nennen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Aber die letzten vier Letters sind, hm, hey. So people thought that there was an actual human, like a person I could read and write tweeting that. So I get all these texts of like, hey, is everything all right? What's going on?

No, we're good. We're getting safer. We're potty training. So that's an experience. Halloween was good. Thanks for asking. I had kind of an awesome experience. We're like an hour in to trick-or-treating and they don't really understand it. They just walk up. They barely say trick-or-treat. They just say hello. Joey says happy birthday to every single person.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
He doesn't comprehend that this is just a thing in our house until we can figure out to teach him that it's not everyone's birthday. But it was like an hour in and Mein 3-Jähriger sagt, Mami, ich bin müde, ich will nach Hause. Ich bin so, das ist das Beste, was du mir gesagt hättest. Glück für dich. Es war ein early Halloween für uns. Der Kind wurde gespendet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

He was a dinosaur. He had a full mask on. So was the other one. We put him in like a stroller and we put the fence around it and said, caution, like Jurassic Park. And he just stood behind there and just cried the whole time. It was a good experience. It was fun.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
No, he's dressed up as A.J. Brown running around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Wilbert Montgomery. No, he wasn't doing any of that. He was asking me a million questions about what Philly was doing yesterday. He had some important meetings at work. And I'm thinking, he doesn't answer any of my questions about life. Like, hey, is the leaf blower coming this week? No answers. But... Anything from Howie, anything from Sirianni, anything from this one, that, you know, whoever.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
He'll just name people that I don't even talk to, by the way.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
You should. All the time. It's my favorite hobby. They're trading for Mahomes. The Eagles got Mahomes. So whenever he doesn't respond, I just try to think of anything Philly sports related and it works every single time. By the way, the Phillies traded Bryce Harper. I can't believe it. I just spoke to him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Aguardiente Since 3 AM
Hey, I'm like the text before was that my mom is sick and that we probably have to go over there tonight to help them. And you didn't respond. But the Bryce Harper getting traded thing got you to call me. It's a it's a good tool. I use it.

You know, it's like, oh, now you care about the Eagles, Camille. Now you're all in on Philly. When I was marrying him, you weren't too sure. Now it's all about Kevin. But that's just like that old school mentality of if the husband's not happy, no one is around.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I'm only doing this because this is going to get picked up on Philly radio. And my father-in-law and my brother-in-laws are all listening to that. So I don't want to deal with the rap that comes with it because I did it once. And boy, did that cause a problem.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I don't trust that people will not pull their hair out with my children. It's not it's not. I will put them with anybody if anyone wants to help out. It's I don't know if anyone actually wants to experience this. They're three and two. They think they're dinosaurs. They bite each other all day long. All they want to do is wrestle each other.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
So it's not like you can just sit and hang with them and, you know. scroll through TikTok. You have to get down with them and separate them at all times because it's just a constant war zone in my house. So it's not so much about finding someone. It's not so much about them and feeling that motherly connection of, I don't trust anyone out there with my children.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Sean McDermott's preparation and how he got the Bills ready, they were tougher, they were more physical. And while Sean McDermott's definitely gotten a lot of credit this season for putting his team in a good position with a roster that I don't think was really blowing anyone away earlier in the year,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I just think they had a great game plan for the Baltimore Ravens when we've seen so many other teams struggle against Baltimore. They think they know how to slow them down. They always say, I've talked to a million defensive coordinators leading up to games where they face the Ravens and they all say the same thing. They actually executed it, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
So I just thought this was a great game for their head coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Possibly. I think Aaron Glenn is definitely their number one choice. He's in the building right now. I don't think they're going to let this guy out unless he signs this contract or at least agrees to it. It has been a very long search. They've interviewed multiple candidates, as you guys know. They never met with Ben Johnson, but I know from... having a couple conversations.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
It was kind of Mike Vrabel, and then they didn't know what they wanted to do. And then they met with Aaron Glenn, and they're really happy with him. So we'll see if they'll be able to get that done. I expect that to get done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Growth, self-awareness, all the things that you want from a leader. And that's what he had last year in making that decision to stay in Detroit. And he's learned a lot about losing. He's learned a lot about winning. Now he's going to Chicago because he's got the quarterback. He believes in Caleb Williams. There's a lot of people around the league who think that Caleb Williams is untapped talent.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
He hasn't had the right coaching. And Ben Johnson is going to bring out the best version of him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Yep, that is the reason. Everyone wants to know what would happen. Was the Raiders just a play for him to get a better deal, more money? No, the Raiders were real. Tom Brady was a very convincing owner in trying to get Ben Johnson to go there because they were gonna make it the Brady way. But in the end, In the end, I think Ben Johnson said, I need the quarterback. Vegas doesn't have it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I don't think the Jacksonville setup is for me. Chicago has the best scenario for me. I'm going there to coach Caleb Williams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Yeah, for sure. Young, rookie deal here. And also, there's still really good pieces in Chicago. And, you know, you'll see some fans out there going, but Chicago, it's Chicago. Coaches aren't looking at it like that. They're just going, how can I do it quickly?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Had a good game. Improved as the season went on. I think they had a really tough season. I think they're going to address a lot of their weaknesses. Offensive line obviously being the biggest issue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I do not. I think Ryan Day is going to stay at Ohio State. He's happy to be there. They want him there now. And oh, how the tides have turned, because you're right, just a few weeks ago, I was trying to find out who was going to be the next Ohio State coach. But he obviously won this thing out, and they believe in him. I think he'll stay there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Marcus Freeman was the one I was watching in the game last night.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Because, Mike, I believe if the Chicago Bears didn't land on Ben Johnson, if Ben Johnson wound up going to the Raiders, I think that there was a world where the Bears were going to try to get Marcus Freeman to at least meet with them. The question would have been, would Marcus be willing to do it? He just got paid by Notre Dame, obviously. He likes being there, but they definitely wanted him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Yeah, I was looking at him professionally. I do think some of the camera shots and some of the social media posts about him are really thirsty. Like there's just like it's like a lot like every time they show him, it's not just like a regular shot of a coach. It's like there's just there's there's a lot of electricity around him. And I think there's some fans out there who enjoy looking at him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Not really my type, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
That has been the biggest difference in Josh Allen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Last weekend. Yes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I, I had a lot of people in the league texting with you during the game. You know, guys that aren't playing, obviously, um, And it was pretty wild right there in the last five minutes how many texts I got of Sirianni's going to get fired. And not to be entertained or laugh at it, but it's at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Travis Kelsey is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Mike Ryan, the only person that's asked me about the Tennessee Titans in a year. They have the number one pick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
That died down. I told you guys last week when I came on. Look, could it go back? Could Jerry get desperate here and go, oh man, Kellen Moore, nah, Brian Schottenheimer, no. The Brian Schottenheimer thing is a little bizarre to me because obviously he's on the staff there in Dallas. But Jerry let the rest of the coaching staff that was in place with Mike McCarthy go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
So some of these guys are getting jobs as assistants on other teams now. Some are unemployed. If you're going to hire someone in-house, wouldn't you want to keep the rest of that coaching staff intact? Again, no plan. Gallus had no plan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
If there's been any takeaway from all of this and just from even having conversations around the league, I don't think Jerry Jones believed that Mike McCarthy was really going to walk.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
They didn't meet with Ben Johnson. They didn't meet with Mike Vrabel. The two top dogs, they didn't go after because he hadn't made a decision yet. And I do believe that Jerry thought that he'd be able to work out a deal with Mike McCarthy, which is why they're behind the ball on this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
He should just be an actor full-time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
He's the GM. He's got full control. Absolute full control. Just why you're going to see the Kellen Lords and the Brian Schottenheimers get these interviews because these are the type of personnel. These guys have personalities that a, they understand the owner, right? That that's a, that's the biggest challenge in working in Dallas is getting how this is going to work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
It's not like any other operation. Just look at the post game. The cameras are around Jerry. They're not even around the head coach. It's going to be like a, it's like a competition. But if you are, if you're cool with that, if you get it, you understand it. Jason Garrett, Mike McCarthy, you can make it work, make it work.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
No, you shouldn't. I spoke to Andy in the summer about it, and I thought he was going to give me more of like, yeah, you know, I've won so much. He is so rejuvenated and energized. Why would you retire, too, if you've got Patrick Mahomes? So I don't see Andy Reid retiring on top of the fact that he signed a five-year contract in the offseason. But for Spags...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I think he'll continue to just get shots at head coaching jobs. I just don't know if he'll be able to land one. And I don't know why. I don't know why. I just think he's so valuable and he's so good at being a coordinator. And that's okay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
A great coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Heartbroken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
So you want me to pontificate on each of them? Mike Tomlin's going to stay in Pittsburgh. I know there was a little chatter Schefter put out that the Chicago Bears called about a trade possibility. I think that stuff happens a lot more than what we realize. Kevin Warren there, the president of the Chicago Bears, loves Mike Tomlin. So that makes all the sense of the world.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
But I don't think Mike Tomlin is going anywhere.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Dan Campbell, he's going to have to figure out what he's going to do with the coordinator positions because he just lost his offensive coordinator. He's most likely losing his defensive coordinator probably today.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
So I think there's going to be a big shift and perhaps maybe even a step back, just like we saw with the Philadelphia Eagles that year that they won the Super Bowl and they lost both coordinators. Remember that? Jonathan Gannon went to Arizona. Shane Steichen went to the Indianapolis Colts. So I think losing coordinators always is a bigger storyline than you realize. Tom Brady.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Has a lot of, lot of, lot of power in Las Vegas for an owner. And we criticize owners all the time for getting too involved. This is the first time Tom Brady's doing this ownership thing. And I think we're all giving him a pass because he's Tom Brady. But it's a different beast. It's not playing quarterback. There's a lot more that goes into it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
And replicating the way you do it in New England may not be the way in Vegas.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Gosh, he's going to wake up in May sitting by the pool with his kids, just relax and go, oh, my God, I cannot believe I dropped that. I can't believe I let that ball go. I think that's one of those situations, those things that lives with you forever. But he's still one of the greats. And it was surprising. And it's not C.J.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
He improved at the end of the year. I still think he's a really good quarterback. I think what we saw last year was pretty magical. Obviously Jaden Daniels came out here in his rookie season here and blew that away. Perhaps the best rookie quarterback performance we've ever seen. But I think CJ is still a really good quarterback. He just needs some protection and another weapon this next season.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Let's keep going.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I know. You're right. We don't have a cool relationship. We just we really love each other and we get each other. But this football stuff is it's garbage. It's ruining us. Like, I can't wait for this season to end. It has nothing to do with the pressure of being an insider. I love my job. It's going awesomely. I just need some reprieve. I need to just chill. So let's go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Let's just get to free agency here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Thank you, Billy. Thank you. No new hair. Same hair. Hair I've always had on my head. I think I just started a little different. It's been it's been a crazy couple hours this week, knowing that not only are we dealing with the playoffs, but we got coaches getting hired. And so just chasing the stories around. So this is the best I can do for you guys today. I hope it's good enough for the show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Well, there's actually a story behind this. So if you see, it says to my jelly, Diana. Oh, so cute. Right. So we got these mugs as a wedding gift. When Kevin and I got married, he's got the peanut butter. It's like he's I guess he's the peanut butter to my jelly. I don't know. In my house, though, these represent something that he needs or wants. OK, so he uses these mugs. as mental warfare.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Most of my mugs are like regular things that say like best mom ever. And, you know, go NFL, whatever it says.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
This is I want to go to Philadelphia on Sunday for the NFC championship game. He went last weekend, because remember, guys, last time I was with you, I said that Kevin and I were trying to figure out what we wanted to do. I needed to go to the game to do my job. He has season tickets with his family.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Correct. So... I would argue that watching that game on Sunday was actually better at home. So I feel like I did win because according to him, it was very cold. They were crying, all of it, everything he's wanted and lived for happened on Sunday, but obviously there's, there's more to this. So now we are trying to figure out what we're going to do on Sunday because I, the,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
senior NFL insider for The Athletic, owned by The New York Times, would like to attend the NFC Championship game. Um... but he feels that he needs to go. So this is the first sign. He has not said it, but I just know what this is, that he's going to come home tonight and think that this puts me in a good mood. I obviously have a very low bar for what I accept in this home, that this gets it done.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Like a dumb peanut butter and jelly mug can work me, but he knows. And he worked me on Sunday and he's going to probably do it again this week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I don't know if it's cool. It's very procedural. It's very logistic. We have two kids, obviously, as you know. So we are trying to make this work. We actually say this all the time of like, we just got to get through the day. And then when the babies go to bed, then it's our time. Guess what our time is? Yeah, nothing. Me in the basement tweeting. Yeah. Him upstairs watching Netflix.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Yeah. And asking me if I spoke to Saquon or if Jalen texted me back, you know, like just like actually has the nerve right now to ask some injury updates to through this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
i've always said that i always thought this fan base didn't necessarily care about the name on the back of the jersey they care about the philadelphia eagle emblem on the on the front that's all they care about it's just about the eagles it doesn't matter who's in that helmet even though they love their athletes and they say they do and you know when bryce harper enters any room it's like Crazy.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Whoever their star player is, Saquon right now at this moment. To them, though, it's it's just about Philadelphia winning no matter what it takes. And the Sirianni argument, especially in this house, has been so up and down because. Kevin is a lot like Stu when it comes to him. He's like, the guy wins. I don't care if you think he's not the greatest coach.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I don't care if you think Sean McVay could run laps around him when it comes to game management and coaching decisions and locker room and culture and all the great things that come with Sean McVay. He's like, he won the game. That's all that matters. And I kind of think that that's just like a small microcosm of how Eagles fans do it. And it is a religion. I married into it. So I didn't,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I've told you guys on this show before, I grew up, I was a big Yankees fan. We're a baseball family. But the level of this, it's so committed that just think about the situation I have in my house. It is my job to cover football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
And I'm actually considering not doing that job because I understand the importance that it is for him to attend this and watch this in person because I know how much it means to him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
You know, I think for our overall happiness at this point, attending that game with his father and brothers is probably more important than me talking to A.J. Brown after the game. I have to weigh it. You guys know my style. I'm a boots-on-the-ground kind of reporter. I left ESPN for the Athletic. Right, so my career's a little different now. I'm not at the games as much.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I'm not at practice the way I used to be. So these opportunities, these big games give me this chance to then go be around the sport I love and see it in person. So we're weighing this. And I think at the end of the day, as much as I love my career, and you guys know I come on the show and I talk about how committed I am to trying to be the best at this,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
I think I need my household to be happy in order for the rest of it to fall together.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
So I think in this moment, I don't want to look back in a few years and let's just say the Eagles never go back to the NFC championship game and think, I went to just do another NFC championship game, my 10th one, and Kevin missed out on something with his dad and his brothers and the rest of Philadelphia because everyone will be attending because it's not like I have anyone to watch my kids because they'll all be at the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Dianna Russini Explains Philadelphia Eagles Fans
Things are thrown around in this house, no doubt. You know what's funny? I saw Big Dom a couple weeks ago, and he said to me, he's such a good guy. And he's like, if you ever need anything, you know, you call me. And I was like, a nanny? And he's like, just call me. And maybe that's who I need to call in this situation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Dann lebertard. Alright, and then, you know, I'm going to see her in two days. How's jumping, Charlie?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I think they're a good team that is very, very, very, very, very far from being a great team. That's unfair. That's ridiculous. I did not say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I think they're a good team that is very, very, very, very, very far from being a great team. I didn't say that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Ich denke, sie sind eine gute Mannschaft, die sehr, sehr, sehr weit von einer guten Mannschaft ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Die eigentliche Argumentation, die wir hatten, war, dass in einer sehr beschlossenen AFC... In einer sehr beschlossenen. In einer sehr beschlossenen AFC war Houston nicht ein Top-4-Team. Und ich frage mich, wenn man Detroit in die Superbowl setzt, wer in der AFC sie für das Wettbewerb spielen wird. Weil ich denke, es ist eine weit open Konferenz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Sie weiß, dass ich ein Dolphins-Fan geworden bin. Was soll sie sagen zu dieser Frage?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Derrick Henry, Saquon, Joe Mixon, letzte Nacht. Sehen wir eine Running Back Renaissance, die in der NFL weitergehen wird?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Natürlich habe ich das. Das verurteilt mich nicht. Ich bin hier geboren. Ich hatte einen Dolphin-Pennant, damals, als Pennanten Kleidung waren. Und die Leute hatten Pennanten auf ihrer Wand. Ich hatte einen Dolphins-Pennant, als ich acht Jahre alt war. Ja.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Okay, okay. Ich möchte etwas fragen.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Das ist dein Wissen. Ich fühle mich, als hätte ich dir viele Punkte gegeben.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Okay, ich reise nicht mehr viel. Wenn die Dolphinen auf der Straße sind und ich das Spiel zu Hause schaue und eine Kolumne davon schreibe, Do you find me, do you hear me cheering for the dolphins?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I do have a cloak of writing things down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
No, she's betrayed me enough, let her go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Das ist lustig, wenn ich eine Letter zu meiner Frau schreibe. Wie darfst du das? Nein, ich bin viel weniger wütend an ihr, als ich an dich bin, weil ich einfach Worte in meine Mund schreibe und sage, dass ich für die Dolphinen gewinnen will, wenn ich nicht.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Was Mike versteht und andere vielleicht auch, aber Levitar nicht. Greg, das Einzige, was ich sagen würde, ist, dass es in 2024 okay ist.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Sie sagt nicht, dass ich für die Dolphinen rufe, was ich nicht tue.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Und du bist völlig falsch. Okay, aber deine Frau sagt, dass ich nicht. Nein, sie ist auch falsch.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Lass mich dir etwas sagen, was ich auch von dir verursachen könnte und sicherlich auch würde. Okay, wenn ich... Ich gehe nach dem letzten Sonntagsspiel vom Dolphin-Stadion. Ich sage ihr, ich gehe in mein Auto, ich werde in einer halben Stunde nach Hause, oder was auch immer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Die erste Sache, nachdem die Dolphins gewinnen, sage ich normalerweise zu ihr irgendwelche Scheiße wie, wie geht es mit den Dolphins? Warum? Weil ich weiß, dass sie ein Dolphin-Fan ist. Weil ich weiß, dass ihr Tag von ihnen gewonnen wurde. Ich gebe keine Scheiße. Okay? Ich gebe keine Scheiße.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Okay, jetzt, wenn ich für meinen eigenen Interesse bin, wenn ich geschrieben habe, hey, count them out, sie werden diese nächsten drei Spiele gewinnen und gleich wieder in die Playoff-Rennstrecke kommen, und sie gewinnen die zweite von diesen drei Spielen, das macht mich dezent. Also, ja, in diesem Hinblick bin ich froh, dass sie gewonnen haben, weil ich für das, was ich geschrieben habe, bin.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Ja, genau. Und in diesem Hinblick bin ich für die beste Kolumne, die ich geschrieben habe, die ich dir gesagt habe. I told you, don't count out the Dolphins.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
They're going to beat New England.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Ja, und bin ich zu fühlen, wenn sie die beste Offense in der NFL hatten? Gut genug, um 70 Punkte in einem Spiel zu schießen? Gut genug, um Tyreek Hill zu machen, um 2.000 Yards zu machen? Gut genug, um Tua zum Pro Bowl zu machen? Gut genug, um Raheem Mostert für 21 Touchdowns zu machen? Ja, ich dachte, sie waren ziemlich gut.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
It sounds like somebody who follows the dolphins very, very closely. Wrote the book on the dolphins. He did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
No, let me see if I can access it and forward it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
No, I didn't. That's, you know, there's too much to get into one column. Perhaps that's for my opening day column. I'm not sure. We'll see how that goes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Well... The displeasure of fans shows in the empty seats. It shows that two-thirds of the seats on average are unoccupied. That's fans protesting. But if I were a Marlins fan, I would make myself heard. I would wear a paper bag on my head.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I would carry a sign that said, hey, Bruce Sherman, how about spending money to compete with the teams in the division that are among the biggest spenders in the league?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
It'd be pretty wordy, you're right. There'd have to be small letters.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
The whole paragraph.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
There'd be plenty of empty seats.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I would stand by the first five paragraphs. I'm not going to take a quiz.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I'm looking at it now. I don't memorize everything I write.

The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
You want me to? Yes, please. Welcome to Miami, Clayton McCullough. We're about 2,340 miles southeast of L.A., down here in the baseball hinterlands. You've left the safety of your job as first base coach of the World Series champion Dodgers, left the very mountaintop of your sport to climb down to manage the Marlins. Some might question your sanity for this move. Not me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
I say you deserve credit for bravery, perhaps even a medal. I wish you all of the luck you will need. You come from an L.A. market where Dodgers led MLB in attendance last year, averaging 48,000 fans per game. You come to a Miami market whose Marlins struggled to even sell out opening day and who finished 29th of 30 with an average gate of 13,000.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
Brightside outdrew the A's who have been alienating Oakland for years, itching to leave. You are leaving a rich Dodgers ownership that had the 5th ranked 240 million dollar payroll last year for a penurious Marlins ownership whose 97 million payroll ranked 27th.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: "Yes Or No" With Earleen Cote
And Mr. McCullough... Love a challenge, Clayton? You got one! Und ich gehe von dort aus.

You're listening to DraftKings Network.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
So good. It's so good. But it wasn't like it was a reach in terms of that character of what he was talking about. It was pretty reflective of his own life, of his own feelings. It's it's not like we're asking him to go out there, you know, name a situation right now where it would be something out of sorts for Jerry Jones.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I have so many questions watching that. I want to know how many takes. I want to know where he put his head at. Like, did he have an acting coach? How many times they went through this? I want to know what Jon Hamm thought about that. That was incredible. My question is, is there another owner in football? that could go toe-to-toe with Jerry Jones in that scene. Who could do that?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
No. John Mara. John Mara. He's got acting in his blood.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
jimmy haslam auditioning for the role this is where my head went i went to the owners meetings and when i'm running around the lobby in the hotel trying to talk to all these guys who holds court with presence right who sits there and just owns that circle of reporters that are asking them a million questions most owners are awkward and uncomfortable by it
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Arthur Blank is comfortable in that circle. John Mara, obviously you saw him talking about Dayball and Joe Shane yesterday. He's comfortable. He's probably the best answer because obviously his niece, excuse me, his granddaughter is a famous actress herself. So I will attract my answer on Arthur Blank. I'll say John Mara is my number one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I was just thinking. Have you ever heard Jimmy Haslam talk? He talks slower. He asks a lot more questions to you. And he thinks it through. So just take the pace down a little bit.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
So I got to go sit back down. And now she's just absolutely horrified that she stepped into the shot just have me to keep walking. Right nobody cares show more mean I want to see more mean unless Adam anyways. And now she's just horrified. Marcus is being a good big brother there with the arm around her. Like, look, it's not a big deal. It happens.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
First of all, I've sat in that studio a million times. There's like 90 cameras. So I'm with Mina. I feel bad for her there. How is she supposed to know? By the way, why are you having her move during the show anyways? Just have her sit there. Look at her on Netflix. She sat in that same spot pretty much the whole show, and I'm with you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
My takeaway from Netflix actually was, and this isn't some female empowerment moment here, I thought the women, held that entire broadcast down. No, held it up, right? Kay Adams was a star. Laura Rutledge was an absolute star. Mina Kimes, all three of them. It was like they've done this every day because they do do it every day.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Reps certainly help, but they were certainly the most educated, most poised, most conversational. So credit to that. And that was awesome.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Mina, not a good actor. I've had to do stuff with her. Not good.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
And lifted it up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Sounds heavy. It does sound heavy. I would rather hold it down.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
yeah holding it down i just kind of just yeah but there's met expectations lifting it i find i think there's strength in holding it down and push down either way we're keeping it i'm in control you hold up your arms get tired your back goes out a little the legs get a little weak you hold down and and i think you're in more control you have all the power so thanks mina for holding it down
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
If you told me Brian Hoyer was the backup quarterback in Indy right now on the roster, I would actually believe you, right? He's not playing anymore, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
You know what? I think he's in the media now. I think I saw him tweet yesterday now that we're talking about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Her cousin's his roommate in college.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I want to get this story, Billy. There are a number of things that I have to get to, okay?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think it's both. I think it's all of it. I think this has been a really hard time in his life for a lot of different reasons, but he's also not the same person. I was there in Cleveland during training camp and just as someone standing on the sideline and I've covered Deshaun Watson for a lot of years, especially when he was with the Texans.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
He does not have that same sparkle at all when it comes to his interactions with his teammates, with the coaching staff. It's like he's doing it and he's trying it, but he's the dull version of himself now. And you're right. You have to wonder how much of all of this has affected his psyche, his confidence. Because to Mike's point, there were definitely moments where you saw little...
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
little shine from him. And it was like, there it is, get it, come on, stick with it, like find it. And then it would never pan out. So how do you fix it? How do you have, How does this coaching staff figure out a way to bring out the best in him? Because I can tell you, even in the building, it's not great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
We've seen other players go through life situations that may not be as bizarre, but just as complicated and have those off the field conflicts yet. And they can go play. Right. We've seen Players over the years in every sport battle through. We saw Kobe Bryant do it, right? Where you're in the middle of something and you're able to overcome it. He's not been able to overcome this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't think, look, I don't know this, but you have to wonder if he even loves to play at this point.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
What do you want the Browns to do, though? Like, at this point. What do you think Jimmy Haslam should do?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, they're going quarterback. Guys, they see what we see. This is not a mystery. This is not like they're psyched about Deshaun Watson's ability, leadership, play. They know this isn't great, but they've also have no way out of this. So they've got to sort of just barrel through. And it's almost like they're constructing their team as if Deshaun Watson isn't a part of it, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
They've got to move forward here and find the answer because I do think the fan base will forgive Deshaun If they hit on a quarterback and this young guy comes out and, let's just say, beats Deshaun in camp and the Browns head to the playoffs next year with a rookie quarterback, I think there will be some forgiveness.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
But here's the other interesting part to that, Mike. I over the weekend, I was just talking to a couple of general managers about last year's draft class, you know, just how quarterback heavy and talented this group is. And obviously we're seeing this now in the playoffs with the young rookies that are the stars of the show. And I was I was asking about these upcoming quarterbacks.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Where would they fall last year's draft class? And two GMs said, definitely after Bo Nix, one said Cam would probably fall before Bo because some team probably wouldn't have understood or believed how good Bo is, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Hold on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Bo Nix is holding them down in Denver.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Jaden Daniels is lifting them up in Washington. Interesting.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
No, I didn't think it was a great script just to defend him there. I thought the writing could have been better. They weren't really pushing him. They almost wrote it in a way to make him sound dumb, whereas I think a script like we heard yesterday in the press conference, that's a job well done when he was talking about the changes at his head coaching position.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Thanks, guys. Great to see you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I didn't know that you guys were coming to me now. I thought you were teasing ahead of what you wanted to ask me. Hi, guys.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I did. I heard you loud and clear.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so either. I don't think that's that much money for an owner if he really wants. And the problem is I don't know of an owner right now in the league that's looking for a head coach that is sitting there going, OK, these options are not good enough. Let's go call up Bill Belichick.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
If you guys remember on the show we talked about right before Bill took that job at UNC. The oddest of connections between Bill Belichick and the New York Jets came to light, where right before he took the UNC job, he was talking to them about possibly meeting and having a conversation. And you guys know the history with Belichick and the New York Jets, and he spent the whole
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
season on the Manning cast, on every podcast that we know, taking shots at Woody Johnson, taking shots at the organization, a guy that resigned after a day when he was named the head coach there. So the fact that he communicated with Mike Tannenbaum, who's running that Jets search team to see if maybe he could get in there, tells me that is really where his heart has been.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
He was willing to go work for an owner he doesn't even respect based on how he's talked about him on the air. But to him, I think being a coach with all the power is still what he wants. And that's why I think Jacksonville is off the table, Mike, because look who's still the GM there, Trent Balke. Bill Belichick does not want to work with Trent Balke.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
That is not a situation that was ever going to pan out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think it's a little bit of his own doing in terms of being a good relationship person with the owners. He's really earned that belief from them that he knows what he's doing. But also people tell me that he's a really hard worker. He's one of those guys, he's always in the building, he's always around. And Mike, I do think in this process, a lot of owners don't wanna clear house
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
without anyone being in charge to help with the process, right? Because you get rid of the GM, you get rid of the head coach. Who's calling the shots? You are as the owner. And I don't necessarily believe every owner feels that comfortable calling the shots in terms of the football operation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
So Trent is a little bit of that safety net for them as they cast a pretty wide net here as we're seeing Aaron Glenn and Liam Cohen Matt Nagy, Anthony Weaver, all these guys expected to get interviews with the Jacksonville Jags.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
I love his strategy, right? It's like he is forcing them. He's trying to sort of manipulate the process. Like I'm telling you you're hiring me and they're like, yeah, no, we're not doing that, right? Like, thank you. I appreciate it. And you gotta love the confidence. And I will say in a pool of coaches right now that doesn't have that much experience, I see what Rex is doing.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
And I think he's going to do really well in this interview because I know the Jets, Mike Tannenbaum, again, leading that search. They are looking for someone who knows what they're doing, who can navigate this journey for them, who knows all the booby traps and the hurdles that come with being a New York Jet head coach. And if anyone knows it, it's Rex Ryan. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
But don't you think it's funny that Mike Tannenbaum, the general manager of the New York Jets that was fired, who fired Rex Ryan as the head coach, and now they're all sitting together in Palm Beach at Woody Johnson's house talking about how together they can come up with a winning way. It's bonkers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, you know, it's interesting. When you talk about the Chiefs right now, they're at a point where they've got like 20-something days off. And Andy told the guys after the game, guys that stay in shape, you know, let's keep our weight down. I've got to keep my weight down. So he's very self-aware of what's going on there. So I'm with you that I think he knows enough –
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Jerry Jones, Bill Belichick, and Cyber Squatting (feat. Dianna Russini)
at this point in his life that, you know what? Who cares? Just take the shirt off and jump in there.

inquiring right I don't think they were full-on shopping Cooper Cup but I can tell you there were three different teams that had conversations with the Rams about their interest in trading for him before the trade deadline uh and I don't think Cooper knew of it and and I think after that moment and if you remember right before the trade deadline the the Rams weren't great I understood why that front office was looking to move him at the time um obviously the other

Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
side to this is the fact that he's been there for seven years he helped win them a Super Bowl he's loved in that organization so I think after that moment and since then and understanding the future for them I think both sides know it's over and they both want to go in different directions despite the fact that they've had such a great time together every great run comes to an end
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Oh, I agree. But David, what about the positions you were in when you were just interested to see what that market would be that maybe you decide not to even tell the player about it? Because it's just light conversations. You're just trying to get a feel. Did that ever happen? And did you think that the player would need to be told that even if it was just flirting?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

I understand, especially as a woman, how ugly jealous can look on you, so I'm trying to contain myself. But I'm staring over at Kay Adams' set, and it looks like a palace. She's got couches. She's got a makeup artist, a hairstylist, a stylist over there. Someone's massaging her feet right now. I don't even have an outlet over there. I can't charge people for that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
So, look, I got to get over this. You got a bathroom, though. I am going to think about David this whole day, though. It's about the quality of these interviews, what I'm sharing with the listeners. No one cares if my nails are a cool color because I had someone do it for Super Bowl games. They care about the inside, the intel. So, David, thank you for you.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Well, we will see you. You are really putting me to the test.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Dan, I want to play this game because I've thought about stuff like this, but I have to preface it with the answer is going to probably be yes to anyone. I'm an Italian Catholic that lives in the Northeast, and it's a hobby to attend funerals for my people. It's just like what you do. Everyone in my family goes to everyone's wake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I'd speak at it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Even if not asked.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
No, this was. I don't cover the story. Take a selfie, too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Yeah, that's my best friend. I'd probably speak at it. I would. This is an outrage.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Absolutely. Okay, you stink.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Yeah, we've actually scared people away from our conversations over here. I've been spending the last 20 minutes catching up with Stu. We are doing... There's no conversation about football or family. I've just been complaining to him for the last 20 minutes. So he's trying to help me here feel better about my space here on Radio Row.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I'm stuck talking to Doug. I look at Stu. I go, that's it. My setup is the Doug Kazarian of setups. Like, it's just, you know.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
That is my setup. No. So here's my thought. There's not much I can do. Like that's my colleague, Robert Mays. He's fantastic. He's got the football podcast on The Athletic. This is not a knock on Robert. Robert had nothing to do with this, but that's going to be the Scoop City setup. It's facing the bathrooms.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
I can't even grab an athlete walking by, someone trying to sell a cart, nothing. You guys, I mean, this is just prime real estate. You can see everything.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
All the action here. So I think what I'm going to do is I'm going to have guests walk up to our set and help decorate and maybe make it a little bit more electric. I've started already. I'm just going to hold this up. Scoop City, you can come by. Yeah.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Love it. Live for this. First of all, New Orleans is the best city. They should just have the Super Bowl here every single year. It's compact. It's close. It feels just like one big party in your town. I've only been here 24 hours and I'm saying this. The food's delicious. Everyone is just happy to be here. So I just think the energy, it's
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Because it's so early in the week and you can feel it already, I can't imagine what this is going to be by Thursday and Friday. And just the fact that we start the week with a bomb of Miles Garrett asking for a trade, that was music to my ears because it actually was a little slow. There wasn't much going on. So now that becomes the thing everyone's talking about here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
It means that the Browns are going to have to make a really hard decision. And I don't think anyone thinks this is going to be easy. In fact, I had somebody in the league share with me yesterday that they just think this could get really messy. Because this isn't about a new contract in Cleveland for Miles Garrett, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Because we've seen players do this all the time where they just want to get paid by the team that they're on. We saw it with Brandon Ayuk. We saw it with Debo Samuel. They threaten, they stay. Lamar Jackson threatens, they stay. This is about winning for Myles Garrett.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
This is about him wanting to go be part of an organization that is built towards winning and getting closer to it, a situation that he doesn't feel is happening in Cleveland.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
When you think about what he has seen from his vantage point and he's around these guys and he knows what their process is and he knows what this future is going to look like, you can understand why he's probably not psyched about the plan that the Browns have, knowing that this probably all went off course when they gave Deshaun Watson that deal.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
You'd be surprised.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
David, my issue with it is no one knows where I am, who I am. This is such a saturated place. And no one even knows where I work anymore. So I wanted something with just like, like even an ice cream truck.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Maybe I should get a band. A marching band just around me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

My view will be you smoking cigs, just taking down a couple of heaters in between some of your interviews.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Michael Pittman's at my step.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Yeah, let's do this. I know I'm not scheduled to come on this Friday because you'll have big name guests, but maybe I'll pop on for about four minutes and just give you an update of how my week went. The first time representing Scott City here on Radio Row at the bathroom. Poop City. That's what I should change my name to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Maybe that's the play, is to just keep track of everyone's bathroom habits and just give updates throughout. Like today, I'm interviewing Kirk Cousins and Drake May. And while I'm interviewing, stop the interview with Kirk Cousins after I ask him what the heck is he going to do next year. Be like, quick update for you here. Pat McAfee just went to the bathroom for the fourth time in the last hour.

Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Did you feel like you ever got a little too greedy? Because now you're in a position where you're going to probably be in Cleveland.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
Yeah, it does matter. But let's just go back to the time right before the trade deadline. I think I was actually on the show telling you about how... the Rams were calling around to different teams to move him, right? And so he obviously found out about that. So he's known his time with L.A. was coming to an end.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Hour 1: Poop City (feat. Stugotz and Dianna Russini from Radio Row)
If they were showing that kind of interest, and look, the Rams came out and said, no, no, we're not dealing him. And I think it got a little messy in terms of the communication. And, David, you can speak to it better than any of us about what the best process is when you're –

Cuervo.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah. Hi, guys. So good to see you. I hope you guys all enjoyed your holiday weekend. Yeah, the... The Kirk Cousins situation is a bizarre one right now because we've seen some good Kirk this year, actually. There's been some moments here. Remember, he is coming off this Achilles. Started off a little slow, if you recall, but then he had some throws, some moments.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
I'd say probably in October, really, is when he was really starting to shine a bit and look comfortable again and look like the Kirk we saw in Minnesota just last season. And I do think this was just a
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
a bizarre weird off game for cousins i don't know of the atlanta falcons right now having conversations internally about benching him and and turning to michael panics at this at this point um obviously with him being there that we always knew this was going to be the story i even talked to kirk cousins this summer um just about that decision that the organization made uh in the draft to go for panics and how that's going to make it high pressured
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
It doesn't matter how much they paid Kirk Cousins. Just the fact that you have a talented young player sitting on that bench, the yells are going to get really loud when you're not performing well. And I think just big picture, though, when I think of the Kirk Cousins situation and I actually think of like remembering free agency and how he was the biggest name. You know who was not a big name?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Russell Wilson. That was not a big name. And yet Russell Wilson is the one. outperforming Kirk Cousins at this point. And look at the difference in salary they're making each year. So yeah, credit to Jim Harbaugh. Look, the Chargers, they wanted Jim this whole time because he wins everywhere he goes.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
And he's obviously instilling something there that is going to be successful for a long time, as long as he doesn't wear them out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
That was some hyperbole there from Mike. Wow, this show never does that. I'm surprised he went as far as saying the worst quarterback performance he's ever seen. He had money in the game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
That the locker room was moved on from Matt Eberflus way before that game against Detroit on Thanksgiving. They were done with him after that Hail Mary against the Commanders. It was that moment when the locker room was lost, not because of the decision he made in that game, or at least the play before the Hail Mary. It was just the fact that he never took any accountability.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
So that just rubbed players the wrong way, which is why Captain Jalen Johnson in the postgame locker room went at Eberflus. So Eberflus addressed the team like he normally does. And he's kind of a steady Eddie when he talks to the team after games in terms of the messaging. And this was not one of those games that called for just the same old, same old. And the players had enough of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
And that's why Jalen Johnson spoke up and basically told his coach, like, nah, we have talent here. We're good. This is on you. And Matt Eberflus wound up leaving the locker room. And then as we know, the next day he was fired.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Somebody that wants to work with Kevin Warren, because it is very clear that Kevin Warren has all the power in Chicago. They made the decision to stick with Ryan Poles, the general manager. They seem to be a tandem here, but it's very clear to me that Kevin Warren's going to call the shots. Just having conversations around the league now.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Look, it makes sense that they want to look at offensive-minded head coaches because they've got the quarterback. He's a star. But when you listen to Kevin Warren talk about what they're looking for, he says a leader of men. I would like more details. I don't know what that means.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
But I think we all can assume that's a Dan Campbell type, a Mike Tomlin type, a Jim Harbaugh type, guys that just have a very clear understanding and confidence to what they do. So I'm not sure if Chicago is going to go all in on offensive minded or perhaps pick the culture changer.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
It is a good job, and Kevin Warren said that in his press conference. This is the job that everyone's going to want. I don't necessarily believe that, though. I get it. I think on paper, when you look at that team, everything about it, the storied history, they're... Their cap for next year is 80 million plus. They've got the quarterback. They've got some players.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
They've got the foundational pieces there. It's really going to come down to who wants to work with them. And that may not be the formula that head coaches that are going to have options are going to want. So we'll see who's going to be the one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
The Ben Johnson, Detroit's offensive coordinator is the big name that everyone's talking about in terms of going to Chicago because he's proved that he knows what he's doing and probably can get the most out of Caleb.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah. Hi, Greg. Thanks for not speeding me up.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Well, I think that the Jets... I have a difficult decision to make here because, look, this is a future Hall of Famer. This is Aaron Rodgers. This isn't some random quarterback who has started for you for just a year and, you know, you don't really care and you don't care about his legacy. This is not as simple as just, look, this isn't working. We all know what the situation is, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Just watching. This is over. Aaron Rodgers isn't going to play for the Jets. The Jets aren't going to want Aaron Rodgers back. This is headed to a divorce. But this time in between is going to be, I think, sensitive because how do you handle a Hall of Fame quarterback? You don't just bench Aaron Rodgers, even though they've discussed it before. Is it going to be an injury situation?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Are they going to put him on IR? He says he's healthy. And then you got to look at his contract, right? They're not going to want to be on the hook to have to pay him anything if he gets hurt. So I do think that the Jets are going to have to make these decisions, even though they don't have a GM right now, right?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
They have an interim, but this is going to come down to what Woody Johnson wants to do.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think that's a lot. I checked it twice, actually, when I got the email from the league. Three's a lot. And in these situations, it always comes down to their history. It has really nothing to do with that actual moment, even though I think we could all say that it was a... It was a pretty ugly play. But three is a lot. But that's because he's been fined twice before.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
So that's how the league made that decision. But three games, that's tough for the Houston Texans team that is really trying to bounce here with a few games left, knowing that they really have not hit their stride this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, I think that's fair. I would go the Lions, the Eagles, the Bills, the Ravens, the Chiefs. So I'd say fifth. The Kansas City Chiefs are the fifth best team in football.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, they're going to be looking for a quarterback. I think the Jets are going to try to find a veteran that they can pull or trade for or perhaps sign in free agency. Because if you look at the draft, as we know, it's not a very quarterback-heavy draft class with a lot of skill.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
So the Jets are going to have to try to figure out how to plug for next year, I think, until they can find their future quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Gosh, I want people to understand me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Wait, did you guys turn the music off for me this time? Thank you so much. Okay, so I think Aaron Rodgers is not done playing football. I think Aaron Rodgers wants to continue playing football. We just have to figure out where he's going to play next. He's going to probably not want to finish out.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
entire career with the New York Jets blemish on him. He's going to want to succeed under probably a really good coach with a roster that's already built. So we'll see where he goes. But for the New York Jets, they've got to find a GM, a head coach, and a quarterback, and they have a lot on their plate. And now Woody Johnson was not named Donald Trump's ambassador of the UK.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
So Woody Johnson could perhaps be around the New York Jets for a longer period of time than we expected because we were expecting his brother, Christopher Johnson, to take over and make a lot of these decisions. But that's not going to be the case now that Woody Johnson is going to be part of it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think it worked out real too well. I don't think they really had any hope for him. I think they were like, let's just roll the dice and see how this works out. But then Arthur Smith came in here. He's a great play caller. He's getting the best out of Russell Wilson. The locker room is embracing him. The moon balls, the run game, they're doing everything the Pittsburgh Steelers likes to do it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
And Arthur Smith, that's the kind of offense he calls. So this has worked out perfect. It's been a great marriage. But let's not forget... Mike Tomlin was on an island a couple weeks in when they wanted to make the switch from Justin Fields to Russell Wilson, and look what he is doing. Mike Tomlin, Coach of the Year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, you stick with Russell Wilson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Wild Week In The NFL (feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't know how much at this point. A deal like a Geno Smith type of deal, something reasonable. You're not blowing the bank out for Russell Wilson, but he's proved that he can figure this out, that he can run this system, and this has been the best option that this team has had since Ben Roethlisberger.

of a talented defense has to be toughness. There's no finesse in defense. No defense is dominating because they have a soft touch but good mechanics and they're technically sound. Okay, those could be true, but it has to be blanketed by overall toughness.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I love that you and I have such different issues in life. Like you have this beautiful accent, obviously. And people think because of that, it sounds intellectual and perhaps in some cases softer. Whereas like, you know, I sound very New Jersey. It's the opposite. It's, it's, Gross. And it's hard. Right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
So it's like we both have to battle things separately, which is why in this Jets piece that that was published today that I worked on with Mike Silver and Zach Rosenblatt. I want you to do the audio version of the Jets piece for me, because I think if I read it, Jets fans are going to feel like I'm attacking them. But I feel like if Meech does it, they're going to go.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
OK, maybe things aren't so bad and we can give them some hope to balance out all the stuff that we uncovered about this team.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, there's a lot there. I think the Madden rating stands out the most because I do think players worry about Madden ratings, but I always looked at it as something just superficial, something that just played into their egos and just wanting to have a high rating and be among the best in the video game. But the fact that the owner of the Jets
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
used a rating to make a decision about whether or not he was going to trade Jerry Judy. That was stunning to me. And there are a lot of people around the league who knew about it. And this wasn't the first time that Woody had ever referenced a Madden rating in reference to Jets players that he either had on his roster or perhaps were targeting in the offseason.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
So, you know, this trade was obviously with Denver and they were certainly blown away like, wait,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
you're not going to trade jerry duty because of a madden rating and guys obviously woody johnson's not sitting there playing madden at 78 years old i mean if he is um that's that's cool uh but i don't think he is so the people that are are his teenage sons um he has an 18 year old and a 16 year old son who who He listens to a lot and he's been part of conversations in the building.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
He's been in the draft room. He's in the locker room after games. The sons are part of it, which is normal, by the way. Most owners have their children part of the operation, part of their business. But there's definitely a lot of people that have worked for the Jets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
the currently people that work for them right now as well, who say that the teenage sons have a lot of juice in the building and affect a lot of the decision making. So I'd say the Madden nugget is certainly interesting. But to me, Dan, when I was collecting a lot of this intel The story about Mike White really bothered me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
And we dug on this, Mike Silver, Zach Rosenblatt and I, to just get a little bit more information about how Woody Johnson was treating his players. So if you recall, Mike White was a bit of a New York hero there when he took over as a starter and tried to get the Jets in the playoffs. He ultimately wasn't able to do it. And he's playing with broken ribs.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I know we talked about toughness a few minutes ago. And he was out there just battling through all of this. And the story goes, he came in the locker room, and he went into the shower. And right before he went into the locker room, he's throwing his helmet because he's upset, obviously. And Woody Johnson yells out into the locker room in front of his teammates, yeah, you should throw your helmet.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
You suck. The Jets told me through a spokesperson that they later apologized. But that just tells you about the treatment of players in a building that I understand that owners want to win. I think we all get it. He's passionate. He wants results.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
But to understand what was going on there and to treat your players that way, I think that obviously is something that does not reflect very well on this Jets organization. So that's just another part of this. And obviously, there's a lot more to it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The New York Jets Mess Continues To Grow (Feat. Dianna Russini)
I can't wait, guys. Thanks for having me on, Meech. I'll be checking this out in a few.

Hey friends, it's Jarabear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which is now a legit nationwide 5G network. So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice, because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America. Seriously. Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. The Boost Mobile Network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the U.S. population. 5G speeds not available in all areas.

The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
No, I think Mike said his lifetime, which I say the last 10 years. I can't speak to... I don't know what was at stake 30 years ago. But for my time covering the NFL, this is... This is without a doubt one of the biggest games. I hate ranking it and rating it because here's the thing. I had no idea the Bills were going to be this good this year.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I was the one yelling and screaming on this show in the summer going, guys, this is rebuild time for the Bills. This is not a team that has any star players and good options on offense. I don't know how this is going to work. Stephon Diggs gets shipped to the Houston Texans. I can't name the other receivers that I think could actually make a difference.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
And then we figure out that, oh, wait, they don't actually need any superstars because they've got the guy. They've got Josh Allen, who's figured out ways to win every single game and has grown and improved this entire season. I think that's one of the bigger storylines headed into this. The mistakes we've seen Josh Allen make in the past, he doesn't make those anymore. He doesn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
That used to be the knock on him when I would talk to defensive coordinators before their games, especially the big ones I can remember specifically with Cincinnati. It was kind of, let's just wait to see if he makes a mistake. Let's see him throw the ball away and let's take advantage of it. Let's take advantage of, especially in the red zone. And that's, they can't do that anymore.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
They can't do it because it's not happening. And I can tell you the Ravens defense already is going to have their hands full with this offensive line in Buffalo because they're another unit I think that's been underrated a bit or at least overlooked at times as we saw them handle the Broncos front with ease last week.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I was talking to someone in Buffalo right before I hopped on with you guys. And we were just like having like broad stroke conversation about keys to the game. You know, what are you guys thinking about? And it's just so funny how like the simplicity of some of this can be like, I know we could spend an hour deep diving into the, to the X's and O's of what the difference will be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
But his answer was just like, Slow down Lamar, you know, like because at the end of the day, that that is going to be the difference. Can the Buffalo defense figure out a way to slow down Lamar? Because, oh, yeah, there's that guy, Derrick Henry, in the backfield now, too, that they've got to worry about. And it's no longer entirely on the quarterback.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
And that's the edge the Ravens have now, even though we've seen in years past teams have struggled stopping Lamar, too. But now they got to worry about these both these guys on top of the fact that Todd Monken's done a really good job with this offense outside the run game. There's obviously options in the past in the passing game.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
So I do like this time of year where you want these answers of the smallest of details. But I think that's also what adds to how awesome this game is going to be. Is it going to be Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson? Who's going to play better?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Is there a guy, an actor, someone famous, Dan, that people have said you look like that maybe you don't see, but you lean into it? Robert Pastorelli.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
But is there someone that you think you look like, or maybe someone has suggested it, that you don't necessarily see, but you wanna take it? Like, for example, someone once said I look like Sloane from Monoraj. I don't look like Sloane from Monoraj, but guess what I'm gonna tell people I look like? Sloane from Monoraj, right? Like, you take that. You go, okay, I don't see it, but if you do, okay.

Oh, I don't know if he's going to lead broadcasting. I just know he's going to have a very, very heavy influence and say on what they do in Vegas. I don't necessarily think Tom Brady's going to be walking around the facility every day. I could see him probably keeping his home in Florida because his kids are still young. He wants to be around them. The whole father stuff is important to him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
But I do know that there's a lot of Tom Brady-ness that is going to be part of the Las Vegas Raiders, and they want it that way, Mark Davis especially.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Just now? Yeah. My father said, what are you doing? I said, TV. And I took a picture.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Does it bother you?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I see that it doesn't bother me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Look, I think the access is obviously important, but I've been told by teams... Actually, I recently had this conversation. The best... Crews need the least amount of time in those pre-production meetings. The most prepared are usually the best.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
And they don't need to sit there and talk with Sean McDermott about what they're going to do on defense, because they usually know, because they've watched enough and studied it enough. So yeah, do I think it's hurting Tom Brady that he's not getting as much intel as he could possibly get? But he's Tom Brady.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
He should be able to know, see, and he's being asked to do things that you're being asked to do as a player, which is identify things. which is why it just goes to show you how difficult television can be, because he knows more than anybody.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
It's so hard to communicate and articulate it in a very short window, which is what you're asking me to do, which is why I'm struggling right now, because it is hard.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think it's all smoke. I think a conversation happened. Everyone's kind of wink-winking this thing. I don't think the Dallas Cowboys had a plan. I think they thought this would work out with Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy's like, nah, I'm good. This isn't what I want in terms of a contract. He walks. Jerry's left going, all right, I got to go find a head coach. This is the Dallas Cowboys, though.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Every single person in America that coaches football wants an opportunity to coach for the Dallas Cowboys. So... starts making some phone calls, which is what he's been doing the last few days, and he's reaching out to people. And I think Deion Sanders is someone he reached out to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I just don't think that Deion Sanders is going to be at the top of the list at the end of the day once the Dallas Cowboys start these interviews. Robert Sala, the former Jets head coach, he's going to be meeting with Dallas over the weekend. He's the first official interview, as well as Leslie Frazier. He's going to get an opportunity as well.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yes. So from what I understand, they never... They never got to that deep negotiation window. They just had enough conversation about what the future was gonna be that they realized, yeah, this is not going to work. On top of the fact that it didn't hurt that Mike McCarthy had interest from the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints sitting there. But I think for Jerry,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think Dallas fans are sweating this more than Jerry is, from what I understand. I think he feels very good that he's going to be able to get whichever coach it is that he wants. There's a little chatter about Jason waiting out there.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
The player in the background. dan looks younger yeah so i think you can judge you can figure out people's ages i have found by their eyes the lines around their eyes can usually tell you and i think dan has really nice eyelids they look young what is the is dan helping his case by casually flexing his biceps right now like you wouldn't notice surrender cobra luck man
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, so Jerry's always loved Jason Witten. He's always wanted him to be part of the Dallas Cowboys at some point, at some extent. So I don't necessarily believe that he's going to be named the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, but I do think it's a name that we got to watch over the next few weeks to see if he would be part of a coaching staff.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
rand carthon was fired last week right now they're looking for um somebody new to step in here they've interviewed over 12 different candidates they called back about eight for the second interview uh mike bergonzi he's the chief's assistant general manager he was the most recent one to come back for that second interview marcus freeman end of the day marcus freeman marcus freeman
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Marcus Freeman, happy at Notre Dame. He's had opportunities in the past before. He seems like somebody that doesn't really want to make that jump yet. He's got that patience, unlike we've seen other college coaches. I think he wants to stay.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Russell Wilson wants to be back in Pittsburgh. He's working out, ready to go. I don't necessarily believe the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to go 100%. Yes, Russell Wilson is going to come back. I think they're going to take the next decision on what they want to do. Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin is staying in Pittsburgh. There's definitely teams that are all watching that, but for him,
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Pittsburgh's not going to move on from Mike Thomas. Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers. I think the new head coach and GM are going to make that decision. Woody is sticking to his word. He's going to let those coaches and GM make that decision. But I have a hard time believing he's going to be in a New York Jet uniform next season. Teenagers running the Jets. True.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Rick and Jack are the sons of Woody Johnson. They have influence. They talk to their father. They want to run the Jets eventually at some point in their lives. Mike Vrabel.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
The head coach of the New England Patriots, they just went from being a franchise that has zero direction to having a full identity. I expect them to compete with the Buffalo Bills next season. It's the best move Robert Kraft could have made after obviously making a bad decision in hiring Gerard Mayo, despite the fact that his intentions were good. Mayo wasn't ready for the job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Mike Vrabel's ready to take this thing and try to get another Super Bowl for the New England Patriots.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

Did I beat Mina?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I did not fall on my words once. The only reason why I stopped was just because I was talking and I couldn't hear your next question. I could have been even faster.

You didn't give me the music. The music was playing the whole time. If you gave me the music, I would have sped up.

I am trying to get the Netflix job. How am I going to get the Netflix job if I'm not winning in this round?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I dated a guy that looked like him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Jon Favreau. Rudy. I wish he was as charming as that guy, but he wasn't.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
You want to hear something funny? Someone just texted me about the Brady stuff with broadcasting and ownership. So I got to go work on this, but. See, other people care too.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
It's not breakable. It's usually just details of stuff that's happening. That's usually what I'm working on is just getting little nuggets all day long.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Speaking of nuggets, Vice Uniform's back tomorrow against the Nuggets, huh? Ah, this guy. It's going to be great.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I'm going to show this off. Dan's showing it off.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Hey friends, it's Jarabear here, and I'm here to tell you all about Boost Mobile, which is now a legit nationwide 5G network. So I must take a break from the jokes here for a second and put on my serious voice, because I would never ever joke about a 5G network that has invested billions building 5G towers across the country. Not even once. Not even if Mr. Boost Mobile himself asked me to.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
There is nothing funny about it. Boost Mobile is now a legit nationwide 5G network and also provides coverage across 99% of America. Seriously. Visit BoostMobile.com or your nearest Boost Mobile store location to learn more. The Boost Mobile Network, together with our roaming partners, covers 99% of the U.S. population. 5G speeds not available in all areas.

So you heard Jess just talk about this eye thing. You guys definitely don't know what she's talking about. I know what she's talking about because I'm going to guess our algorithms on TikTok are the same. Thank you, Diana. Save me. Yeah, women do the same thing. We look at other hot girls, a couple sports things, and beauty secrets.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
And the biggest beauty secret thing, the trend right now, is you get this surgery... Um, they cut these tiny little like slits at the top of your eyelids and they pull it back to just give you sort of that Dan youthfulness where it just
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
they call it the levitar pressure look but the thing that's fascinating about it is the women that are doing these they're documenting every day and when you look at the photos of the first two or three days of recovery it is the most frightening image uh because there's obviously all these little slits around your eyes an area that you would think is so sensitive But it works.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Then you look at the before versus the after, you're like, oh my God, they look 10 years younger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
It's true.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
That doppelganger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I mean, that chin looks like he has a plus one to whatever event he's going to there. There's a lot going on there. You don't have a chin like that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
phrasing it's an hr issue we should try to see what dan would look like with the filter like just just a light jess you know the ones we use on instagram and their stories they're just like these very light skin smoothing filters it i think it would i don't use them but yeah it's okay that you use them Oh, yes. You're just all natural on social. You just you just lean into this is me. Accept me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
All the flaws with it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
It's called you're naturally beautiful. Everyone knows that. And it's frustrating. But some of us who are older. A lot older than you, Jess. We have to, you know, make ourselves feel a little bit better. So you slap that filter on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
But for Dan, like, first of all, I don't know why you guys. I think the problem is Dan's always been the oldest person on the show. So to everyone that works with him, he probably feels like he's 60. But he's just been doing it so long. Dan, how old are you? Why did they put up two photos of Dan just now?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I agree. We're actually having a major problem in this house because I am covering the Rams-Eagles game in Philadelphia. And as you guys know, my husband's family is at season ticket holders. So he's attending the game as well. And we don't have childcare at this moment. So we're trying to figure out how we're going to leave New Jersey to go to Philadelphia so I can do my job and he can attend.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
And I would think you guys would understand that Don't you think that I should have the priority because it's my job to attend the game, to cover it as a journalist? He's making the argument that his family's had season tickets since 1974 and that while he understands it's my job to be there, he thinks that he should have the edge this weekend in case we don't have the child care.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
In fact, I would actually like your answer because someone needs to solve the problem here unless, Michael, you want to take over and watch Mikey and Joey for me.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Football season is here, and there is absolutely nothing better than game day. But it can be a little bit stressful. You're placing bets, you're setting fantasy lineups, you're figuring out the most comfortable position to sit on your couch for the next 12 hours. No one has time to think about this part. Cooking. Well, thanks to DoorDash, you don't have to worry about that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
So they had a strong, like, decade of doing this without him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
His family is fine without him. Fine without him. We live two hours away. They are surviving.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
He has complete understanding, which is why this is such a buffoon response from him to say that he should be at the game because he gets it. He lives this with me. I've told you guys about it.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I wouldn't be able to do what I do without Kevin because he comprehends the NFL landscape so well, and he understands the competitive nature to it, and he understands the importance of me being there for the athletic to cover a really big game. But he doesn't have the ability to separate... and maybe even a little bit of the maturity to go, oh, wait, this is my wife's job.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
He thinks he's part of it. I think he thinks A.J. Brown is his brother. He thinks Nick Sirianni is like Uncle Nick. We're not the Eagles. We support them. We cheer for them. I have to go cover them. for this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Cause he's got a great job too. But I've tried that. Like I'll point to things, you know, or the roof or, you know, I point to the watch I got him for Christmas or the nice new sneakers I bought him, you know, but he contributes too. He's not a stay at home dad. So I don't have a lot of argument here.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
DoorDash is the best place to order all your game day favorites. Chicken wings, nachos, burgers, dogs, hey, maybe even a little chips and guac, something like that, get a little salsa in there. It can all be delivered with DoorDash. So this football season, don't stress about the cooking. Kick back and enjoy game day thanks to DoorDash. DoorDash, your door to more.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yeah, I said it the other day on Scoop City on the podcast and I had people react crazy like I was overstating what this game means and what it will be. Everyone obviously pointing to the Chiefs-Bills game and, you know, with the 13 seconds and we all know how that turned out. And that was crazy. A tremendous game. I remember watching it and I didn't get that assignment when I was at ESPN.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
I think I had like Titans, Bengals and Sal Palantonio got that game. And he's on the field chasing after Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes after the Chiefs won that game in incredible drama and fashion. But I think for this one.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Early Onset Paterno (feat. Dianna Russini)
The reason why I think it is what it is is obviously the conversation we've had all year about sizing up Lamar Jackson to Josh Allen and who's the better quarterback, all of that. On top of the fact that they're playing the best football of any other team right now. They are playing at the height of what they've done all year. They're rested. They're healthy.
