Chapter 1: What is the purpose of The Big Suey podcast?
Welcome to the Big Suey, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there.
That hasn't happened to you guys? I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar. This episode of the Dan Levitard Show with Stu Gatz is presented by DraftKings.
DraftKings, the crown is yours.
I am interested in talking to the group about what were the big takeaways from the weekend. Because in professional football, just a terrific week one. Crazy, the end of the one o'clock hour games. And the last game would be the best of the games is football introducing itself, reintroducing itself to us in the most seismic way possible. It's a very well-run league.
The teams are very competitive with each other. The games matter. And Sundays are holidays around here. And college football even got engulfed this weekend because it didn't have anything interesting. as interesting as what it is that was happening yesterday. So many interesting things that I'm putting low on the list. Woo, the Packers bullied the Lions there.
And Micah Parsons is a defensive player anybody would want to have. And good God, the Packers dragged the field with, listen to this stat. There have been three quarterbacks ever who have won 13 games in a season with two different teams. It's Brady, it's Manning, and it's Goff. It's Goff.
And Detroit, for all its offense, was ransacked by a Packers defense that I thought was plenty good last year and now has Micah Parsons.
Tonight will be interesting because you got Bears-Vikings tonight. And if the Bears offense is good, Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson, then the chatter is going to ratchet up a bit about Detroit.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights from the weekend's football games?
It was the lowest total of the weekend, right?
37 and a half. 37, no one expected offense from that game, and then all of a sudden you get offense. And both of those teams, you know their defenses are good. So if you're getting good offense, it's not because the defenses are suddenly bad.
And much like college football gets drowned out, not a lot of John Mateer conversation on this show because he looks like the real deal over at Oklahoma. But I think Friday's game was really interesting, really good.
And while the Chiefs are expected to fix that offense without Rasheed Rice being suspended early on in the season and a shoulder dislocation for Xavier Worthy, there's talk he may need surgery. He's going to be out for an extended period of time. Those are guys that take the deep shots downfield.
Are we sure the Chiefs are fixing this offense?
I thought Justin Herbert also looked outstanding. The Chargers looked formidable.
Before the fourth quarter yesterday, the Harbaughs looked like they had the two best teams in the sport.
In terms of just everything that you were watching and what they did to the Chiefs, how they did it to the Chiefs, we can assemble the argument, could we not, that right up until the end of that game yesterday, and now the thing falls a little bit on Harbaugh, even though Derrick Henry fumbled, What the Ravens were, all of us saw this, correct?
Going on the road, we're watching football, we're watching it from Eagles, Cowboys. If you're saying who was the best team in the sport, until four minutes in last night's game, all of us are saying the Ravens, correct? Who looks like the best team in the sport? Okay, maybe Packers, maybe Colts, fair enough.

Chapter 3: How did the Packers perform against the Lions?
Greg Cody, look, Greg Cody, print journalist, looks down on all of us, fans included. Especially me. This room is still reeling. The room is still reeling from the number of times you hit both me and Zaslow in the face last segment with the wet fish of, if you read my column.
Yeah. Right, because my column was about the most vicious column I'm able to write. And so I don't want anyone to think that I'm letting the Dolphins off lightly just because I say it's one game. Okay, it can be both. You can exoriate the Dolphins for a absolutely hapless, hopeless performance and still think, But it's only one game. Yeah, but next week, at home versus the Patriots.
I mean, they are a slight favorite. You think that's a get-back-on-track game, right? It better be. So that's 1-1. Then you have at the Bills on Thursday night. Yeah, no chance. Okay, so that's 1-2. Then the new-look Jets.
No, I'm not going to let you do this, Billy. I'm not going to let you sneak one of these in there. Justin Fields. Okay, all right. I'm just trying to figure out.
That feels like it could be a loss, and you're staring down the barrel of 1-3. If you beat the Patriots, you could be sitting at 0-4, and then the Panthers is a get-back game. They could go 0-17. After the Panthers is the Chargers. The Chargers, Dan just said, they look like one of the best teams.

Chapter 4: What insights can we gather from the Bears-Vikings matchup?
That's a win. Then the Browns. The Browns is anyone's guess. Is Flacco going to be healthy? We don't know. At Atlanta, then versus the Ravens, then the Bills again. Commanders, I mean, you may be looking at the Saints. And the Saints honestly looked like they had a shot yesterday. Is that a win? I'm not sure. I think I'm going to be in Atlanta for that game. Really? Oh, wow. Stop the presses.
Chris is going to Atlanta for that game. Oh, shit. If you want to see Chris, he might be there. The Dolphins, Falcons. Well, you were talking about the Saints.
Yeah. This is the easiest part of the Dolphins schedule.
Didn't you say 7-1, Dad? What'd you say? No, what I said was the first eight games gave me optimism.
I'm not doing this anymore. Get the dolphin stink out of here. Look, I was mad yesterday at that Jags-Carolina game and the weather because all of a sudden that scent is lingering into my 4 o'clock games. Get out of here with that game. Jags-Panthers, please, end at 4 o'clock. Don't stay around. Don't be third quarter in the middle of my 4 o'clock games. Enough with your stink.
Was it like a weather delay or something?
Yes, weather delay. One of a couple of weather delays.
Screwing up my YouTube TV. It's like I had a nice four-game plan here.
Two things, though, locally that we did not get to that I did want to get to. One, Cam Ward's debut. He made a couple of the throws that you want made. And now after the game, there's being talked about, well, Calvin Ridley, you know, he doesn't have to put that much zip on it.

Chapter 5: How did Cam Ward perform in his debut?
More videos have come out from different angles where there's people behind where you can hear her screaming at the child. Then there's another video from the top where people are booing this Phillies fan and she's giving them the middle finger. Oh, yeah. She's giving everyone around the middle finger while holding up the ball. Yeah, she was a bit, some are saying, unhinged.
I don't know exactly what was going on there, but the Marlins gave them all these goodies. And then after the game, he met the Phillies player that hit the home run who signed him. bat for him, and they all went out. And you know what? I think the biggest trauma of all is that at the end of the day, they're still Phillies fans. And the guy did nothing wrong.
There's a lot of soft energy there with that guy, though.
Well, wait a minute. Says the father whose teenage son calls him sugar tits.
Okay, but when it came down to it, I beat his ass. I'm still man of the house. What are you implying the guy should have done there? Let's talk this out. Stand-up business.
I'll tell you what he said.
I will tell you a couple things he should have done.
Okay, all right. Well, we'll get to that in a second because everyone's doing this one, too, today. How meek of that man to feel in today's America. Like, he doesn't have quite a lot of options here on...
optics as he's being berated for taking a baseball from someone who believes, and everyone believes as she does it, that's been wronged, and then when we have 40 different camera angles, everyone realizes, wait a minute, this woman's just being, she's just romping all over the arena, grabbing baseballs and making up stories, and everyone sees her unmasked, and it's the way this thing ends up going viral because everyone, no matter your political leaning, is appalled by the behavior of this woman.
