Chris, you know what goes great with Smirnoff? Smirnoff! Yes, but I'm really talking about the game day fit. The style's got to match the vibe. Smirnoff! All right, here's the deal. Game day is everything. And that's exactly why your fit has to match the occasion. Smirnoff!

Plus, one fan will win a Lely Mays one-of-one game day jacket. Wow. The merch will be dropped on select dates from December to January 21, and it's all courtesy of what brand?

48.338 - 48.398

Me.

Chapter 2: What story does Zaslow share about his travels to South Bend?

502.729 - 521.378 Unknown

And then he said five step drop. And then I just went back like a robot and started doing five step drops. Quick question. Had they used not a real football, like maybe a Nerf football or maybe one of that Nickelodeon ball we have behind us here? Does that count as practice or no? No, I think it's got to be pigskin, right? I think if it's pigskin, then they can get docked.

0

521.399 - 530.629 Unknown

But if it was foam, if it was maybe some sort of animal skin that wasn't pig, maybe we could have used it. But again, that's 10 years in the past, Dan.

0

530.649 - 541.502 Tony

It could have been the house that I built. Tony says he's loaded today. Top five, too many OLIs. Let's get through this. Let's start with the first OLI, Tony's top five observations from the NFL weekend.

0

542.798 - 560.008 Unknown

We'll bang out through the OLI really quick. Michael McCorkle Jones keeps getting it done, Dano. Thank you. I was waiting for that. Appreciate it. That's Mac Jones' full name. Second OLI, Braves' revenge game. Yeah, Michael McCorkle Jones. McCorkle. McCorkle.

0

562.973 - 563.153

McCorkle.

565.343 - 583.786 Unknown

I'm going to ask this one to the class. Ask Trey McBride who he'd rather have at QB. Did you guys see the stats with him and Kyler Murray versus him and Jacoby Brissett? Do you guys know that stat or no? Brissett targets him so much. And throws touchdowns to him. Imagine that. You have a really good tight end. Kyler Murray's like, you know what? I'd rather not throw touchdowns to him.

583.806 - 606.648 Unknown

I'd rather throw touchdowns to Michael Wilson. But Jacoby Brissett's like, man, this guy's really good. Let me throw him the ball in the end zone, which is usually a good thing when you have a guy who's 6'5 and runs a 4'6. But alas. All right, second last OLI. Jags, just when I think I'm in, they push me back out of me. No, they're not serious people.

606.989 - 612.456 Unknown

Dan, do you want to say the text that you told me on? You texted me privately when that game started? Yeah, sure.

Chapter 3: How does the discussion shift to the Miami Dolphins and their season?

614.258 - 630.871 Tony

I just said I have just bet the Jags, and I know I'm going to regret it. Like, I know the game had not started. Instantaneously down 21-0. No, because I believe in them athletically, but they're not serious people. What do you mean by that?

0

630.972 - 631.593 Unknown

Insane, Dan.

0

Chapter 4: How does Zaslow describe his experience with American Airlines?

631.693 - 652.491 Tony

Insane. No, I'll tell you. Thank you for asking the question. I'll tell you what I mean by that. What I mean by that is the Jags, every good play that they had in yesterday's game was undone by a penalty. So they had, at one point the announcer said, and the 11th and 12th penalty of this game, wipe out a third and seven sacks for the Jags.

0

652.551 - 673.999 Tony

Again, the Rams are playing three tight ends and one wide receiver. Three tight ends and one wide receiver. When I'm telling you that Stafford and Devontae Adams beat the Jags by themselves by just standing there watching them implode, they're not serious people. Matthew Stafford is doing no-look passes in the Super Bowl because he knows exactly where to throw the ball to three inches.

0

674.059 - 683.812 Tony

Brian Thomas, you hit him and hit him in the face mask. Trevor Lawrence cannot be trusted to do anything but buck and bronco like a Clydesdale. They're fools.

0

Chapter 5: What unexpected situation does Zaslow encounter during his bus ride?

684.413 - 687.016 Tony

There, I said it. They're fools.

0

687.136 - 708.833 Unknown

They exhibit the behaviors of a fool. Yes, they're not fools. Just act like fools. I don't know. You haven't been watching the Jags that closely, Ben. All right, last OLI. Oh, shit, here come the Chiefs. Dan, I think we were wrong. So wrong. Wow. Rasheed Rakes makes a big difference.

0

709.053 - 728.538 Tony

Yeah, he's good. Pretty good. Yeah, and that precision thing where you can throw it to one guy seven times and every time it's going to be open. Yeah, it makes everybody a little bit better. All right, we'll get into the top five now. Except Baker. Number five. Baker doesn't need anybody. Baker doesn't need precision with anybody.

0

730.921 - 745.842 Unknown

Get somebody off the couch, you'll catch a touchdown with Baker. Only if we could teach that to Trevor Lawrence, who is still, again, throwing touchdowns to nobody, but throwing the ball to Parker Washington, of all people. Anyways, we'll get off to number five here. The Eagles are going to be all right. The Eagles are going to be all right, Dan. Remember I said that.

0

747.003 - 760.4 Tony

Jalen Hurts had the best game. Still too good of a team on both sides. Jalen Hurts had the best game non-Drake May division that was had by any quarterback in the league yesterday. And is it not funny to you guys the way these guys now treat four downs? God almighty, they've gone in the other direction.

760.46 - 769.551 Tony

Now these guys are throwing deep on fourth and one all over the place because it's a calculated advantage because everybody's selling out to stop the yard. It's crazy.

771.202 - 787.864 Unknown

Dan, I will say this, though. Brian Flores, for as much flack as we gave him here in Miami, has figured out the tush push. I don't know if you guys have talked about it yet. He has. I was getting here to the field. Okay. You line up a guy just on the floor, just in front of the line of scrimmage. Don't let him be on a three-point stance or five-point.

787.884 - 812.932 Unknown

Just lay him down horizontally on the floor so the guys can't get underneath him. It's probably the greatest way to stop the tush push. I wonder if people are going to use that going forward against Philly or not. I think the next move, you stack defensive tackles on top of each other. Lying on top of each other. Wow. Just like have four guys. It's so funny. Yeah. This way. Yeah.

812.972 - 822.401 Unknown

You build a wall. Yes. Shout out to Stan Van Gundy. You're screwed if they do play action, but. Or if they go wide.

Chapter 6: What are Tony's Top 5 observations from the NFL weekend?

Don Levitard. John, can you rate my Al Pacino from that billiard scene in Carlito's Way if I do it for you? I think it's pretty good. Yeah. Stugatz. You think you're big time? Or you're gonna die!

0

1389.564 - 1406.775 Stugatz

Big time! That is on my infamous scale of 1 to 10. That's a 7.6. Solid. Good job, Dan. Good job, Dan. Good job.

0

1406.795 - 1407.476

That's a suey nominee right there.

0

1407.496 - 1411.442 Chris Cody

That's really good. This is the Dan Labatar Show with the Stugats.

1414.257 - 1418.181 Tony

I did want to talk for a second because I've rambled on this. I'm being told Tony has one more thing.

1418.461 - 1434.856 Unknown

Really quick, really quick. Dan, tomorrow behind me, Vice City situation at FIU Stadium. The FIU Panthers, Paul's up, are playing Kennesaw State right here, 7 p.m. at Pitbull Field. They may invite me to be on the field here. I don't know. That's what I've been heard from my boy, Darren, who's letting me know, giving me a thumbs up. I don't know.

1434.976 - 1439.019 Tony

Okay, so thank you. I'm glad we went back to you on that. Honorary captain. Okay, so yes.

1439.039 - 1447.532 Unknown

Honorary captain, by the way. Seems like it was probably contingent on him getting that last line out there. That's what access at Pitbull Stadium costs us.
