31 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What are the highlights of Week 9 NFL games?
Hi and hello, my fellow football Americans.
Chapter 2: How does Kevin O'Connell's coaching style impact quarterbacks?
It's your old pal Dave Damaschek here. Welcome to NFL Week 9. Welcome to Football America Episode 21. Happy Halloween, by the way. We've got Pablo Torre on the way. We're going to make our picks for you for the upcoming games this weekend. And I'm in Miami. Let's talk about all of it, shall we? Let's start the show. Yes, hi and hello, my fellow football Americans. I am in Miami.
Chapter 3: What insights does Pablo Torre provide about the Moon Landing?
I just said that, right? And guess what? Mike and Gino Fuentes are right on the other side of the glass there. I'm over the moon. How excited am I? I said, listen, instead of getting a guest to help us make the picks, we're so rarely, if ever, together. Let's just do it amongst ourselves today. So that's what we're going to do.
But before we jump into it, and like I say, Pablo Turi on the way, excited for that. Had a great time today or yesterday on the Dan Lebitard show. Did I just betray a little too much?
Like, okay, so we do that all the time here.
Chapter 4: What unanswered questions remain about the JFK assassination?
I think it's fine. I like, like, there's no point. Yeah, exactly. It's fine.
I don't know what's going to happen in the Ravens-Dolphins game. Can I tell you something? I do know what's going to happen in the Ravens-Dolphins game, and... I'm not going to suggest that I'll pierce my nipples if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty confident that Baltimore is going to win that game.
Let's start this show off like we do most shows, which is honoring the episode number and the player who wore that number best in pro football history. Number 21 is where we are. I think it's pretty easy to say it's Deion Sanders, right? Any debate there, fellas?
I got a few honorable mentions here. Sean Taylor.
Chapter 5: What are the top five NFL games to watch this week?
Also war. Maybe the best safety ever.
Chapter 6: How does Mike Tomlin prepare the Steelers for their upcoming game?
LT? That would be my pick.
Man, oh man. I am either an old man or you guys have no regard for history. You can't just throw out LT. That's right. Sorry. It's LaDainian Tomlinson. LDLT2. There's an LT who is already one of the all-time best players. You can't then say not as bad as there being an A-Rod, Alex Rodriguez, and then Aaron Rodgers decide, I'll be A-Rod.
Chapter 7: What makes the Chiefs versus Bills a significant matchup?
No! How about we give... LT2 a new nickname just for our show we'll call him the sequel listen okay LaDainian Tomlinson won me plenty of fantasy football money he is LT to me okay fair enough also there's Charles Woodson there's Charles Woodson there's the third leading rusher in NFL history Frank Gore no he's 20 compiler it says 21 here parts of his career
I have no recollection of that part. But you know what? I'm glad you just mentioned that because I felt like we were so ā I should say also thank you for all the feedback. On the last couple of shows in particular, they've been real good. I feel like we've done legitimately ā we're on a nice hot streak of about a month of real good shows here.
And most recently we had Brandon Perna from That's Good Sports on a week ago today.
Chapter 8: What predictions are made for the Week 9 NFL games?
And we had Jon Hamm on. On Monday, go back and listen to both of those. Appreciate all the feedback, great stuff from those characters. But we were so hurried on the last episode, we didn't get to fully honor number 20. Barry Sanders was the winner there, but that might also be on the shortlist of best jersey numbers across the sports landscape.
I think 21 is pretty strong, though, too, because you have Roberto Clemente. Some people say... Oh, yeah. that they should retire 21 across baseball, much the way they did Jackie Robinson.
When we had the All-Star game down here, there was a big contingent of fans holding up the signs, get to retire Roberto Clemente's number. I don't know if you remember that. They had a lot of guys walking around with signs. There was basically protesting.
It was our dad's favorite player.
Dad's favorite player. And I just remember a lot of fans wearing Clemente jerseys petitioning for MLB to retire that number.
I'm not surprised to hear that. He has great meaning beyond his deeds in baseball, what he meant, or actually as a trailblazer for Latinos abroad. He's essentially the Latino version of Jackie Robinson. Speaking of which, Juan Marishaw. is number 21. Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, is that right? Is he 21?
Tim Duncan, the greatest athlete to ever come out of the Virgin Islands? Yes. Five championships.
I can't push back with another name. Peter Forsberg is as skilled a hockey player as I've seen. There's Mario Lemieux, and there's Connor McJesus, and I think Peter Forsberg is just for raw talent about as gifted a hockey player as I've ever seen. Stan Mikita. By the way, As we're flapping our gums down here in South Beach, I keep hearing a muffled voice.
It sounds like it's coming from New York City up there. Bradley, is that you? Yeah, what's going on? How we doing? Well, you're wearing a mask, and it's a little weird. What are you supposed to be?
