Good news, football's getting close. Better news, Football America's already here. Meantime, Romo's on leave from CBS. Kyle Shanahan's crash, I think we're allowed to acknowledge that it did happen. We've got Ben Axelrod, our old pal, here to talk about what the media's involvement means.
Why is Tony Romo being placed on leave by CBS?
Same goes for Tony Romo out at CBS. We're going to talk about the state of the Buffalo Bills. We've got a Mr. Lister training session for you, our reigning champ Tony v. Buddy Badowski. We'll tell you a few teams who aren't going to the playoffs 2026. And guess what, everybody? We're now 30 seconds closer to the start of the regular season. Let's start the show!
Nance tried to make me go to rehab. I said, Jim, I don't know. No, no. Couldn't heal the toe, the toe, the toe. All right, listen. Hi and hello. Welcome to Football American, my fellow Football Americans. We are presented as ever by our pals over at DraftKings Sports. Now in all 50 states, which I assume means the 50 states in the United States of Football America. I am back. from the east coast specifically the banks of the three rivers pittsburgh pa reminder update whatever it is greatest city in the world certainly the greatest city in football america hot take we are well i don't know who's yapping in the background i like pittsburgh man but there's a lot of great cities in this world like you know there's a lot of great cities in this in football america alone that i would say probably top i don't know why you're
Why do you have to chime in and interrupt my flow there, Buddy Badowski? Listen, we have a lot to get to here. Let's start it off as we do every week with episode number 75. But first, before we even do that, a reminder to subscribe. Next week, we have tentatively penciled in one Mina Kimes joining us to help get right for football season. We're going to be checking in across Football America, all the training camps, what the hot stories are there as it focuses. You should understand... that we are not going to spend a lot of time breaking down the events within preseason games, if you've listened to me at all in the last 20 years. You know that I think preseason games are Civil War reenactments. They only look real.
Let's not get consumed with that nonsense. Wager all you want. I'm not one who puts any money down on preseason games. Come on now. Also, drop us a line in the comments wherever you're consuming my rich baritone voice. We appreciate that to extend the conversation. And next week, Major Randy... What's his name again? Major Randy? Major Randy Social. Major Randy Social Mead. That's right. We'll be reading your letters or your notes, your questions and otherwise. So get in on all that. And now, episode number 75, Gino Fuentes. Get in here now. This is a rich jersey number in pro football history. If you have any beyond the sport of football, let us know who's the best to ever wear that jersey number. By the way, I should mention before you jump in, Tony Colladaute is sitting in for a few minutes here as well because it's time.
We have to get right for football season mentally as fans, too. Another edition of Mr. Lister coming up in just a second. Now, I'm sorry, Gino. I had a lot to get to. Go ahead.
All right, let's start with Deacon Jones here. We got Howie Long. This is a good number. Loaded number. We got Jonathan Ogden. Vince Wilford.
You've got some good ones there. You still haven't said the best one.
Manny Fernandez. Oh, of course.
I mean, Dolphin, perfect seasoner. Doug Betters. You know what that Doug Better's?
I can't think of anybody else. Lamas Brown?
I can't think of anybody else, Gino.
No, that's it for football.
Honestly, hockey, weak number for number 75. Not really anything going on. I think Radko Gudis wore 75 at one point in his career. The Butcher, back with the Panthers now, Dave. Anybody you can think of, Dave?
Yeah, I can. I can think of the essential Pittsburgh Steeler. We can talk about the importance of Terry Bradshaw and how great Franco was and the Immaculate Reception and how that kind of launched the dynasty and Troy Polamalu and so on and so forth.
