What are the biggest NFL rivalries highlighted in this episode?
So we got Notre Dame and USC on Saturday, then Chiefs v. Raiders and Dallas v. Washington on Sunday. Three words for rivalry games, ooh, la, and la.
What insights does Matt Leinart share about South Bend and the USC-Notre Dame rivalry?
Most rivalries are owed to sharing the same neighborhood, Capulets v. Montagues, Duke v. UNC, Homer Simpson v. Ned Flanders, because whether it's love or hate, proximity engenders strong feelings. but then they're the rivalries based on more than mere contemptuous familiarity sometimes it's about two teams peaking in different time zones but in the same window of time leading to showdowns that play as cultural reckonings and live on past just one generation among sports best non-regional rivalries lakers celtics is probably number one with the yankees v dodgers right behind but let's rank the top six in football At number six, extreme lifestyle differences between the ancient rivals at sun-baked USC and dreary old Notre Dame.
And I don't just mean the Golden Domers' aversion to using Trojans. I'll also throw Notre Dame v. the U in here, as redundant as the vibes are. At number five, Tom Brady v. the Manning brothers. Yeah, if Ole Miss BMOC Archie Manning had met his future wife Olivia in Oxford, with future considerations Peyton and Eli, Brady would probably have a dozen Lombardis. Then there are the Dallas Cowboys, who have so many non-regional rivals where you can even leave out their three NFC East foes, all of whom reside 1,500 miles away from Texas. At number four, there's Cowboys v. the Niners. With Staubach's comeback in 72, and the catch in 81, and in three straight early 90s championship meetings, we knew the Survivor's reward was going to be the Lombardi Trophy.
At number three, Cowboys-Packers might be even bigger. If Bob Lilly tackles Bart Starr on the QB sneak at the end of the ice bowl in 67, NFL champs wouldn't hoist the Lombardi Trophy, it'd be the Landry Trophy. Bigger still, though, at number two, Cowboys v. Steelers. Back in the 70s when pro football was still just rounding the corner on its way to passing baseball in popularity, Dallas and Pittsburgh were fraternal twin heavyweights, shiny stars v. Steely Braun. Nine Super Bowl appearances between them in the decade, twice against each other, then again once in the mid-90s. To this day, when Dallas or Pittsburgh plays on a road game, the stadium is half-filled with their supporters. That's how deep the roots sank across football America.
That and all others go behind number one, though, Army v. Navy. not many visuals better than the sea of cadets in gray and midshipmen in black preferably with a light snow falling all around in almost any rivalry the participants claim it's the only game on the schedule that matters but as far as i can tell the only head-to-head where that's actually the case is between these two anywho here comes another weekend of football let's get to this show so i can go sit on that couch behind me for the next 72 hours start the show
Yes, hi and hello, my fellow football Americans.
What are the top five NFL games to watch in Week 7 according to Chris Cote?
Welcome to episode number 17. Welcome to NFL Week 7. We are presented as ever by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. Coming up, Matt Leinart and Chris Cody. Not together, though, I don't think. Let's start this show like we do every show, by honoring the guy who wore our episode, number the best in pro football history, number 17. This feels like an easy one, fellas. Josh Allen has got to be the choice, right? There's Gino, there's Mike Fuentes, there's Chris Cody along. Welcome, Chris Cody. Hope all's well on your end. Thanks for joining the show. Let's start with you. Any 17s you want to volunteer here?
Best TD Celebration 17, Jalen Waddell. We're going to give him that. I think I can make the argument Philip Rivers over Josh Allen. Josh Allen, win a road playoff game. That's all I want to say. I might be cherry-picking the one stat where Philip Rivers is better than Josh Allen.
How does Chris Cote justify his picks for the NFL Week 7 games?
He has three playoff wins on the road. Josh Allen, win away from home. Then you'll impress me.
Wow, never had a road playoff win. That's never registered for me, but your larger point feels kind of true, if cynical.
