28 Nov 2025
Chapter 1: What is the Best Position Group by Franchise in History?
NFL Week 13 is well underway. We've got the countdown coming up. We'll tell you who's going to win the most consequential games and by how much. Our guy Jeremy Taché is sitting in to help us figure out which is the best position grouped by franchise in the history of people. Is it Packers QB? Dodgers starting pitching? Lakers center? We'll settle that hash.
Plus, Chef Josh Capon is going to rank the meats, all of them, top to bottom. The leftovers are calling my name. We have it a moment to spare. Start the show! Yes, hi, and hello, and hope you had a grand Thanksgiving, my fellow football Americans. Welcome to Football America, presented as ever by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. I hope you had a great turkey bowl.
I hope you had lots and lots of pie and stuffing and pie and gravy and whatever meat you like, but I hope turkey was one of them. Hey, Jeremy, let's start off with this question for you. Did you play a turkey bowl, and did you eat some pie, and which kind?
I missed Turkey Bowl this year, but I've had the same group of guys playing in the same Turkey Bowl since we were 12 years old. I did have pie. I had both pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and apple pie. I had all three.
You know what I think is fine to mix in? You know, I'm pretty hardcore about you got to have the turkey. I think same thing. You got to have a pecan and you got to have a pumpkin pie.

Chapter 2: What are the Top Five Games of the Weekend?
And a lot of people like to speak up now about pumpkin pie. Now, the turkey is the hipsters who denounce turkey. That's old news. Now, the new one is pumpkin pie also sucks, I hear. But listen, if you don't love that, coconut cream pie is a nice choice.
That's always a good one. You know what it is about pumpkin pie? Bad marketing.
Chapter 3: How does Celebrity Chef Capon rank all the meats?
Should be called autumn pie. You don't really taste pumpkin.
Chapter 4: What are the best ideas for Thanksgiving leftovers?
It tastes a lot of cinnamon, a lot of autumn flavors. It's orange. It should be an autumn pie, not pumpkin. Same thing with carrot cake, by the way. Carrot cake, bad marketing.
I will say, my grandma makes the greatest pumpkin pie in the entire world.
I know everybody says that.
I promise you, my grandma's is the winner.
Chapter 5: What makes Packers quarterbacks the best in NFL history?
I will put it up against any pumpkin pie in this world. Spoken like a nice Jewish man. And her latkes. One other pie is the maple bourbon pecan pie with a vodka crust. That's what I'm talking about.
Oh, just that one. I mean, how specific can you get?
Oh, yeah. It's good. It's great. Only sold at Whole Foods in Brooklyn. No, no, no.
Belated shout-out to the Pie Queen. We miss her something awful. Deeker, pie off of the past. We did get to sit down late last week with a couple of the heroes, Hanzoose and Sessler, on Heed the Call. Go back and listen to that. That was a good time.
and i hope everybody like i say had a had a real good thanksgiving let's jump into the show here a little bit shall we first of all as we do we honor the player who wore the episode number best this is episode number 29 not a deep list in nfl terms eric dickerson surely takes the crown here and i asked him once why 29 because that number is pretty lousy at least to my eyes um
And he said, oh, because I refuse to wear number 25.

Chapter 6: Why are Cowboys wide receivers iconic in football?
They tried to give me 25, Georgia Frontieri and Company. And by the way, come to think of it, Georgia Frontieri should be the next item that Pablo Torre sets his gaze on. Beware. If you don't know her story, I encourage you to look up the late former Rams owner.
up but 25 is no better so he didn't want 25 and then he landed on the other side with 29 it's a wash in my book who else do we have there Jeremy you want to throw one in come on Hall of Famer Rod Carew how could we not honor another great Jewish brethren on this episode of football America That's right, one of the chosen people, yeah. Happy early Hanukkah to him.
Chose to be a chosen person.
I'll bring the hockey to the festivities. 29 is a loaded category here. You've got Hall of Fame goaltender Ken Dryden, future Hall of Fame goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, and two of the best players in the league currently, Nathan McKinnon and Leon Dreisaitl, both Rock 29.
mckinnon wow that's wild yeah 29 in the nhl no one in the nba almost legitimately no one worth mentioning or 29 but it is a pretty juicy paul silas okay i mean paul silas yeah paul silas yeah the name resonates for eternity um he's a player he could who so i think he indeed was a player correct he was a player who could who indeed played yes No one's arguing that, Sue. No one's arguing that.
Hey, you heard Ethan announce himself from the hockey show. You heard Mike Fuentes there. Gino, once again, hanging out with his girls. Wish them well in a holiday week. The worst time to be sick is when you're off of school. My heart goes out to you. and from work.
This is supposed to be the time of year where you take time away from work because you want to, because you start day drinking under the sun, and the man is even a little more liberal than he usually is. He says, take some time off, or you know what, work half a day, even when the man didn't encourage me around this time of year. I like to
start uh bending the elbow around noon when it was when it was lunchtime that was time for dave to get a little loose that's the rules we've reached the sweet spot on the calendar and not just because of football season anyhow um hall of fame semi-finalist in pro football announced earlier this week and frank gore is a first timer i think he's going to get in but of course like we talked about earlier in the week
Fred Taylor is better than Frank Gore, was better than Frank Gore, and should get the nod before Frank Gore does. I don't think he will. Drew Brees will definitely make it. Eli and Rivers, I'm not so sure. There is a numbers game. It's what's happened to the wide receivers out there. I thought Torrey Holt would have been in forever ago. Same with Reggie Wayne and Steve Smith, our old pals.

Chapter 7: What are the best position groups in MLB history?
But no matter how it goes for them with the gold jacket stuff, some of them have already received the ultimate honor in sports. They have landed on the best position groups by franchise list. It's time to update it back here. at the tail end of the 2025 calendar. Jeremy Tashae, I can't think of anybody better to jump in here because of your diverse sports knowledge here. Thank you.
You can dip in on the pigskin, but we can also do some hardball. Ethan, jump in to support on the puck, and everybody, let's work on the NBA. Obviously, Tashae, you know a thing or two about that. This list for anybody who isn't aware. is I've cobbled it together. Why? Because I'm a big dork, a real big dork.
And so I thought it would be a good use of my time to rank, as I say, the position groups for one franchise. Now, off the top of your head, Mike Fuentes, let me throw it at you. What jumps out to you? What's an iconic position group? Sort of the opposite, like we talked about at the start of the week.
And by the way, go back and listen to the great episode that we got going with on Monday with the very funny Brad Williams. We did the jerk list and within that. came up the idea that Caleb Williams is already probably the Bears' best quarterback of the Super Bowl era. That's one of the saddest position groups you could ever see.
Bears quarterback, Flyers goaltender since Bernie Perrant probably belongs high up on that sad list as well. Now we're doing the other side, the best ever.

Chapter 8: How does Chef Capon suggest enhancing Thanksgiving meals?
Mike Fuentes, what jumps out at you?
So just to be clear for the audience, we're doing the best players in the history of a franchise that played at one position, right?
Yes. Yeah, well, apparently not just the audience, but Mike Flint does as well.
I just want some clarity. I'm going to go with, off the top of my head, not thinking too much, never do, I'm going to say the Dallas Cowboys wide receivers.
See, this is a great place to start. The 88s are, if nothing else, have a long history, iconic among themselves. They love to award it to other guys. Only certain players are worthy of the number, according to Michael Irvin, Andrew Pearson. Yeah, Terrell Owens in there.
Terrell Owens, C.D. Lamb, once dated Kim Kardashian, Miles Austin. People forget he existed. Miles Austin. Miles Austin. Who else is in there that we hate?
No, Miles Austin was 19. I know, but I think it was Kim Kardashian.
You don't remember that? No, I don't remember that at all. He dated Kim Kardashian. Small claim to fame for Miles Austin.
He did? Yeah. Oh, yeah, you're just including Miles Austin.
