Chapter 1: What is the episode's main focus?
God bless football, Billy Gill.
Thank you, Mike Fuentes. Guys, fans, audience, friends, today's episode of God Bless Football is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. I think I need to work on the God Bless Football at the beginning because when I ask it or when I say it, it sounds like I'm asking a question. Like, I'm kind of curious. Like, does God Bless Football? Like, I don't know.
Chapter 2: How does the podcast team feel about their intro?
Uh, so, I think I need to work on that. This is a new segment that we call Notes. So, I think I need to work on that, but also, I don't really want to have, like, the same energy as Stugatz when he starts the show, or he does the God Bless Football, because, like, if I'm gonna be honest, it's kind of a little bit annoying, right? So, like, I've been thinking...
Can you have that energy? Can Billy Gill have that type of energy? Because I just don't see it.
Can I summon, like, God bless football.
Yeah, see, that's not it. I mean, that's a mocking version. But that's not...
The way Stu does it, it's like this long thing to get you going, but then you're doing it the way you're used to getting it from Stu, so you just do it really fast because Stu has already done the long part. So you've got to mimic Stu's cadence so then Mike can give a fast one, I give a fast one, and then we're back to you. But I don't, if I'm going to be honest, I don't like it.
I don't like the start like that. I just like to start like a regular thing, like the God bless football. You know what I mean? It's like, it's fine, but like, I don't know.
So if we're doing notes here, which it looks like we are, it sounds to me like you shouldn't do it the way Stu does it, but you should do it differently than the way you are doing it.
Okay. All right. Constructive criticism. I'll take it. So just, hey, don't do what Stugatz does because you're not capable of that. And also don't do what you're doing because it's terrible. So just be better all around.
No one used the word terrible but you, but okay.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Max Crosby's contract extension?
You guys can see if you can figure it out and maybe a play a game at home yourself and, and see if you can guess exactly what that segment is, but that's not going to be this segment. Next segment is more Mike Leary. Tease that. And on the TV side, we're going to be hearing from our friend Matthew Berry. We sat down with him at the Super Bowl.
And to be honest with you, we talked very little football with Matthew Berry. We kind of got deep with him. We found out something about him that we didn't know. We found out a dream of his and just kind of sort of his finances, I guess, and what he's willing to pay for certain things that he likes. But before we get to all of that,
It's time for our favorite segment that we do every single week, this first segment of the show. Say it with me, guys. Headlines. Headlines. Headlines. We do it every week, I guess. We do it every week right around this time. It's called Headlines. Who brings us Headlines?
Headlines. Who brings us Headlines? Does somebody bring us Headlines?
Headlines is brought to us by Smirnoff. Presented by Smirnoff, I should say. The world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly. The Smirnoff Company. New York, New York. They actually didn't sponsor headlines. They sponsored another segment later on. But you know what? This week, headlines brought to you by Smirnoff.
Now that we're taking notes and we're talking this through, I have a new name for this segment that I want to run by you guys. And I promise we'll get to headlines in just a second. Fuentes, I think that you might like this name. Mikey, I'm not sure if you'll like this. Sorry, Mike. That's my mistake.
I'm Mikey. It's okay. I've accepted my fate.
I'm like, what if we what if we call this segment headline day and we give you all the headlines because you guys during deadline day of basketball in the NFL will do this whole deadline day thing. No. OK, we'll move on. We won't do that. It's just going to be called headlines. Then headlines presented by Smirnoff, the world's number one vodka. Please drink responsibly.
This is how it's going to work for those of you who are new to the program and haven't seen us play headlines every single week. I'm going to read you some headlines and then we're going to get some thoughts. Okay. Does that work for you guys? Let's do it. All right. First headline, Max Crosby has signed an extension.

Chapter 4: Who could be the Raiders' next quarterback?
I hate to point out the obvious here, but when we talk about an established veteran who's available, who are we talking about?
Kirk Cousins, baby.
Are we talking about... okay, Kirk Cousins, who was so awful last year that he got benched for Michael Penix. How about Sam Darnold? Is that the established veteran we're talking about? Or are we going to do the obvious thing and connect the dots and bring Russell Wilson back to Pete Carroll and join them up in Vegas?
And then you go, was Russell Wilson good or was like the Steelers defense and Mike Tomlin finding a way to win ugly games the reason that they were good?
Chapter 5: Could DK Metcalf's trade shake up the Raiders' roster?
They just seem to be in a pretty bad spot in terms of quarterbacks, right? Because we'd have to look at the cap, but if you're giving Max Crosby this deal, you're not going to pay a quarterback $40 million, $50 million a year. So you're going to have to settle on a quarterback that's going to be okay, I guess, and then hope that...
You have a Sam Darnold year out of someone, but what weapons do the Raiders have? They don't have Justin Jefferson. They don't have the same weapons as the Vikings, so Sam Darnold, even if you get actually Sam Darnold, not a Sam Darnold 2.0, which is a crazy sentence, but if you get actual Sam Darnold, he won't be Sam Darnold in Las Vegas either.
Let me ask you a question. Are the Raiders... Are we spoiled with the way the quarterbacks have moved the last few years that the Raiders think it's going to happen again, only this year it's not? Like in the past few years, we saw Aaron Rodgers move teams. We saw Tom Brady move teams. We saw Matt Stafford move teams. We saw Russell Wilson move teams twice.
We've seen all these guys that you're like, oh man, if we had that guy, we'd be good. And then... I think it just kind of stopped this year. I don't think there's anybody coming this year that would make you go, all right, now we're over the hump.
Oddly enough, Stafford seemed like he was going to be that guy for someone. And the Giants thought that they were going to get Matthew Stafford and they were going to have their quarterback solution. And now the Giants' plan seems to be, you know what? Aaron Rodgers sounds like Aaron Rodgers might work. We could try Aaron. What?
What's the pitch there? You don't have to move? You don't have to hire a moving company?
Is that the pitch? I think the pitch to Aaron Rodgers is you don't have to move. So, hey, you want to play football, right? Because this is it. You want to play football? You want to start? This is the only spot.
You mean you can't see Aaron Rodgers in a little black and silver out there in Vegas? Devontae Adams goes back to his old house?
So let me ask. I mean, the Devontae Adams thing didn't really work last year, right?

Chapter 6: What are the latest NFL player movements?
Hey, you sold that car yet?
Yeah, sold it to Carvana.
Oh, I thought you were selling to that guy.
The guy who wanted to pay me in foreign currency, no interest over 36 months? Yeah, no. Carvana gave me an offer in minutes, picked it up, and paid me on the spot. It was so convenient.
Just like that?
Yeah.
No hassle?
None.
That is super convenient. Sell your car to Carvana and swap hassle for convenience. Pick up fees may apply.

Chapter 7: Is Travis Hunter more likely to be an NFL bust?
Quick question. Why? Why did the Eagles do that? You just signed him to a big deal. Dude. Why? I don't get it.
That was very much a... super bowl high you know what i mean like oh my god we did it we couldn't do it before we got him oh my god he carried us we won the super bowl because of him whatever he wants just give it like and then like six months from now it's gonna be like wait we did what like we gave him what money
Howie Roseman drunk on the parade float. I'm going to give you more money. You're just the best. I'm going to give you some more money.
Yeah, his age is like Howie, Howie, Howie right here.
Howie signed this thing.
Here, sign this real quick. And like, it's like 50 plus million for like two years. And it's like over 30 million guaranteed. And there's still incentives to make it more money. Like, yeah. What a deal for Saquon. You know what? I'm happy for Saquon.
Good for him.
Absolutely. Great for him. He wasted the first portion of his career in New York. People didn't appreciate him for how good he was. He now goes to Philadelphia. Great offensive line. Now goes to Philadelphia. Almost breaks the record for regular season rushing yards.
They end up sitting him the last game of the regular season, so he doesn't have the opportunity to break the record, but he was on pace to break the record. And now he's rewarded for being such a great team player, sitting down, putting the team first. A little disappointing Super Bowl. Putting the team first, helping them throughout the playoffs, and now he's gotten paid, so good for him.
