The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
And why can't we just say that there are five or six really valuable players?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Let's do this here. Diana Rossini is on with us. She is married to a Lunatic Eagles fan. And if that Lunatic Eagles fan were listening right now, he would say to us, Hey, you guys do realize you guys have been talking a lot about the 49ers skill guys for a long time.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
But she told us about five weeks ago when people were questioning this, Hey, the Eagles are obviously one of the good teams in the league. Whether you think they've figured out Jalen Hurts, whether you believe in Jalen Hurts or not, Whether you believe Jalen Hurts is Brock Purdy, those skill guys are crazy. Those wide receivers are crazy, and you add Saquon Barkley to that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
I'm talking about when I say crazy, I'm like, I know Goddard's not Kittle, but I wouldn't want to try and be covering that dude. They've got one of those mutant tight ends, and they don't need him very much because their other skill guys are so good, and now they've got a running back that has made the entire Giants organization collapse in his wake.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
The whole thing fell into the sewer the moment that he left, and we watched on television on Hard Knocks how they got rid of Saquon Barkley trying to save dollars and coupons over here as you lose your locker room because they're saying, why'd you guys pay Daniel Jones before you paid this guy? We know the freak he is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
My point is, though, where we talk about the 49ers for the last five years and talk about Trent Williams, that offensive line has been the best unit in the sport for many years now. And so you put all of those skill guys behind that offensive line, and, Diana, your husband has a lot of reasons to be happy because he knows how good his football team is.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Wow. She called him a little chicken. She called Tommy Cutlets a little chicken.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Oh, a little chicken, she called him. You know, the chicken that runs around.

It just happens to happen. Yes. Look at that.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Stugatz is in full self-involvement mode. They're counting down and he's just yelling, I'm counting sales, it's doing great. And he just, he's very excited and we're excited for him. What were you saying as I had to wave you off because they were counting us in live and you didn't know and you were counting your numbers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Oh, this is because you've dated a bunch of Sean's, as you told us last week, and then you married a Philadelphia Eagles fan, and you will absolutely give birth to a baby Stugatz. Yes, you will. Yes, you are going to try and raise somebody who is more evolved, and the Eagles fan is in your crib, and he's going to get bigger.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Diana, did you write anything for this book? Is there anything?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
I don't know if I misheard you, Stu Gatz. What do you think she wrote for your book? A blurb. Oh, okay. I thought you called it a blurb, and I wasn't sure whether you knew what the name was. A blurb. Diana, what was it?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Well, Diana, help us with this. Would you please do a commercial right now, if you don't mind? Just read your blurb to the camera. Today is the big official selling of the book, so help us sell the book. Read your blurb, do a little commercial for the Stugatz book, which is available in bookstores now, beginning to get today. It is a real thing. It exists.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
It is one of the great achievements in the history of modern media, not just sports media, modern media.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
The weekly fantasy contest. You called him a chick. You called Tommy Cutlets a chicken. And it reminded me of the scarring yesterday of Mike and Billy bullying me into that damn listener league by calling me a chicken. Diana, Lane Johnson.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
And I don't want to obsess about the Eagles here, but when I see the stats on Lane Johnson in terms of never has a holding penalty, never allows a sack, and is just a beast who at one point had a steroid problem that needed a babysitter because he's a violent person who I wouldn't want to be blocked by. Is he Trent Williams for the Eagles? Is he exact?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Because Trent Williams, everyone says that he is the best lineman in the league, but the stats I see on Lane Johnson are nobody ever gets near the quarterback around him.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Diana, hold on a second. Wasn't there a report that he refused to do anything with scans? This seemed like some convenient leaking all of a sudden as we're talking about benching him. Now he's all banged up with an assortment of injuries that he refuses to get scanned on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
To get Rick Spielman and Tannenbaum. Tannenbaum to hire Rex Ryan.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
We clipped you. Our social media people, they're assassins. They, they, they did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
We'll see if Stanzik picks up those books for Stugatz and brings them to his house so that Stugatz won't be home when he comes over.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Yes, that's right. Total.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
That's right.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Assholes. Social media assholes. Thank you, Diana. Good seeing you. Oh, I'm sorry. Billy's got something else.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
This is one of the great quarterbacks of all time. He chose this, though. No, I understand, but you would also understand why he wouldn't want this as the ending.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Diana, thank you for being on with us. She's the senior NFL insider for The Athletic. She's the host of the very popular Scoop City. And she is a blurb writer for Stugatz's personal record book. I did say it. I know you did.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
I'd like to see it, please. Tony is joining us now. Diana Rossini is joining us in a little bit. We're going to go football intensive. I missed my brother last night because you had the Mannings over here, the Harbaugh's over there, the Kelsey's over there. A lot of brothers dominating our media airwaves. And Tony and Diana Rossini are going to carry us through this.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Baltimore ends up beating the Chargers, and I feel like I have this right, right? For as unpredictable as that sport could be, we're like all just sitting around. You can give me all the metrics you want. Baltimore's a little bit better than the Chargers. I don't know why I know that. Charger defense is great, but yeah, Lamar Jackson is going to do that to everybody except like a couple of teams.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
They're like a couple of teams, but they're important teams that he's got to do it against. It's the Chiefs, Steelers, or playoff teams. But I'm saying any team seeing Lamar Jackson for the first time, it's like a spaceship has landed on the field, except the ones who play him all the time. Yeah. That's true. Pittsburgh has his number. That was the best defense in the league.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Lamar Jackson did that too last year. Yes, but I would say Lamar... He had 18 yards at one point in the second quarter.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Mike, that organization, quietly, because we can have this conversation around Lamar Jackson every year, move the goalposts, yeah, MVP doesn't matter, I need to see it in the playoffs—
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
quietly the ravens one of the best run organizations in all of sports but had the misfortune of playing when the patriots were grabbing so many of the championships and we're changing the entire shifting culture into man third place you're a loser if you're third best even if you're third best for 15 years with different quarterbacks loser tony oh yeah where are you you're you're standing somewhere and i don't recognize it are you on the top on the highest hill in all of south florida
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Billy, weren't you supposed to, as a grid of death punishment six years ago, supposed to run to the highest point in South Florida? I've never seen video of that. Did you ever pay that punishment?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Are you shouting or are you giving them flowers? Are you doing both? Are you shouting them out while giving them flowers?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
How high are you? Oh, look, talk to that guy. You want to interview that guy? Look, a jogger just went by. Somebody, look at these mountain climbers.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
So high around. There's some vultures in the back over there, too. You've mentioned that. Do you smell the raccoon? Is there a dead raccoon? You smell the raccoon? There might be.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Those kids couldn't make it up the hill. Look at those little lazy bums.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Nah, you made it. He's got an electric bike, man. He's got to ride up on the bike. Come on.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Good job by that kid.

If Jay Leno fell off of this thing, he wouldn't live to tell the tale.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Down!
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Because he makes victories disappear?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
A game they never should have been behind in.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Tony, how can you celebrate Jaden Daniels after that particular game, losing that game? How does that get into your top five?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Well, the last time, if I remember correctly, was the Hail Mary. Veteran football guy Greg Cody hates that as an observation.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Do you have any winners in your list of top fives? Anybody who won a football game this weekend?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Oh, did we keep you waiting? Sorry. We were doing a show.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: The MVP Case For Saquon Barkley (feat. Dianna Russini)
Thank you, Tony. We appreciate it. A celebration of losers there. With the 49ers at the end, what he says of Saquon, I don't really want to do that show, but can you explain to me as a group why it is that Tony and Greg and every time I look up at any of the NFL programming, they're arguing? Who should be the MVP of the league every week for the last couple of weeks of programming?
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
Hey, it's Miguel on a mobile. You can call me Miguelito if you want, bro. Never called before. First time, last time, as they say. I just wanted to talk about something that I don't think anyone's been discussing for the last few days, so you'll get it here from me. Miguel, that's my name. Pat Riley, he's a bum. I'll give it to you in Spanish. Es un bum in Espanol.
The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
The Big Suey: Should Kendrick Play 'Not Like Us'?
Listen, there is a place called Century Village in Pembroke Pines. You put geriatric old people there. My abuelito, that's where he was at the end. That's where Pat Riley needs to go. And, you know, it's not that expensive either. I'll hang up and listen. Thank you.
