What is the significance of NFL Week 12's top games?
Yes, hi, hello, my fellow football Americans. Welcome to Consequential NFL Week 12. Welcome to Football America episode number 27.
What insights does Mike Ryan Ruiz provide about AFC East uniforms?
We're presented by DraftKings as ever. DraftKings, the crown is yours. We start by honoring the player who wore the episode number best, like I say, number 27. Here's a weird thing, fellas. Ray Rice, Larry Johnson, and Kareem Hunt. Boy, that number's got a stink on it. Mike and Gino, Gino and Mike Fuentes, you want to contribute here?
Oh, thanks for bringing us down into the mud. I mean, all right.
I'm giving you the chance to shine. I'm the one who got dirty.
All right, well, let's get a running back to sort of cleanse the palate. Let's do Eddie George just off the top of my head. For baseball, I'm going Vlad Guerrero. A guy could hit anything out of the park even if it was literally in the dirt. Yeah, I will also go baseball. The Fuentes household had a lot of Atlanta Braves baseball when we were growing up, right? Because that's what the local team before the Marlins came around.
So Fred McGriff, the crime dog.
Crime dog. Yeah.
Ooh, the crime dog. You know, baseball. That's what I had, yeah. You know how everybody always says, like Mike Trout, nobody knows who he is. He's the most anonymous superstar or one of the all-time greats. And it is, in fact, true because Mike Trout wears number 27, and I refuse to believe that if you went out on the street, if we sent Tashae out there with a microphone to say, what number does Mike Trout wear? No baseball.
What are the top five NFL games of Week 12 according to Conor Orr?
Self-identifying baseball fan would know what number Mike Trout, who is going to go down as one of the five best baseball players of all time. Anywho, we're talking about football and the Football Americans of the Week. Two guys who've been dropping me a line from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, over there near Harrisburg, PA. Mitch and Brandon, lots of thoughts on Mike Fuentes' ugly posture, inexplicable almost, against the innocent bird called Turkey.
How does the Ja'Marr Chase spit debate reflect on player conduct?
Mitch writes, love the show. It's great. I also think your buddy Mike is burying the lead about the overrated Turkey. It's pumpkin pie that's overrated. Interesting thought there. Breaking news update on my Super Bowl 60 pick. It started out, as everybody recalls, Buffalo v. San Francisco. But Bosa and Warner took that down. It was derailed by those injuries. Then it was Buffalo and Green Bay. But if the Pack loses this weekend, I'm officially jumping to the Buffalo Bills versus... The Los Angeles Rams. I talked to Jeff Schwartz on Monday. He made the case for Philly, but Lane Johnson is their Jenga piece. If he's removed, and he is for a little stretch now, they may not implode, but the ceiling is officially lowered.
And by the way, nobody's talking about this trend lately. The Chiefs are merely towing the line. if they don't make the playoffs or if they go out quickly in the playoffs. No Super Bowl runner-up ever does well. Always. Listen, file that one away for 2026 because it seems to be holding true once again. Let's see what this fella thinks about all of what I just said and even more before he heads off to the banks of the three rivers to watch his Miami Hurricanes take on the Pitt Panthers. It's our pal Mike Ryan Ruiz. What's the poop, fella?
Thank you for having me here on Football America. Really excited to join this week because it's yet another platform that I could espouse my propaganda about the Miami Hurricanes and this unjust CFP committee.
I asked you to... I was hoping you would join us before I even knew of the firestorm that you were about to start. But man, you're all over social media and beyond campaigning basically for the Miami Hurricanes. And I thought... Mike, as the world's greatest advocate for the 20th century system, which was all hash settled on New Year's Day, five bowl games, the 10 best teams by the time you put your head on the pillow, sad as you were because you knew when you woke up it was time to go back to school, grim reality. At least you knew who the national champion was. And all the campaigning and all the rest of it was out the window because now we have a 12-team playoff and here we are.
