Mon, 18 Nov
From Default Workspace • No contributors
Stugotz kicks off the hour with a good stat of the day before we roll right into Stugotz's Weekend Observations. Anthony Richardson is back, Stugotz hates the Jets, Stanford football used to mean something and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in the Wilson family. Also, do you have a full complement of anything besides timeouts? Then, we get to some video from the weekend including an epic alternative to a coin toss in Utah high school football, the CBS crew jumping through tables at the Bills game and a "bear" destroying cars. Then, Miami legend, Frank Gore, joins the show to tell us how he was able to avoid a flush hit for his entire career, opportunities he had to return to the NFL in 2021, whether or not he is still mad at Jim Harabugh and if needed could he still get us three yards tomorrow. SPOILER ALERT: of course he can. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Chapter 1: What is Stugatz's Stat of the Day?
No, I think you get an F for this. It's an F all around, and it's a crime as well as an added bonus. We're saying A for effort. That's all we're saying. I'm going to give you an A for effort, and I'm going to give the Jets an A for effort on your pain. Let's finally play the song I asked for two hours ago. All in.
The Jets.
Why the steam? The chance. Ah, the chance. The chance. The chance. Bravissimo!

Because the first time I put on a pair, I knew my underwear drawer would just simply never be the same. Tommy John just recently sent some of their product to those of us in the shipping container, and this is my first time wearing Tommy John underwear. I was really blown away by the comfort, by the stretch that was available within the design, by the texture.
There's a genuine comfort, and I can tell that they put in effort to make sure, specifically in our case with men, that we would feel comfortable. Honestly, Tommy John's changed the game for me. I know it's going to be a good day now when I walk out the door and I've got Tommy John on. No distractions, no adjusting, just all-day confidence.

Chapter 2: What are Stugatz's Weekend Observations?
This is a Miami legend. Five-time pro bowler in six NFL seasons. Third in NFL career rushing yards with 1,600 yards. Most seasons with 1,200 yards from scrimmage. What? I'm going to tell him. Most seasons with 1,200 yards from scrimmage, 12. He has to be headed to Canton. 16,000.
16,000 yards. That's what I'm proud of. Let them know. They said... Coming out of college, I only played two or three years in the league because of my injuries, and I overcame that and played 16 years. I'm going to say all my yards I'm proud of, so 16,000, the number 16,000.
And when you see that number and your name and only Emmitt Smith and Walter Payton are above it, when I put you in that class, that's not even something that you imagined, correct?
I never thought about it. But now since I'm not playing, you know, you look at the list and you see my number three, man, that's a blessing. I'm proud and I'd be so happy to show my kids. And also, like, you know, because I kind of helped coach in low league, part one of football. So I show my kids I coached.
uh you know on youtube like one man and they'd be amazed too because you know they they never saw me play can you i'm proud of it can you explain to the people how unlikely against the odds the entirety of your story is like i know we've talked to you a lot over the years but just when you think of your story being against the odds what do you think of as the hardest things uh that got in your way
Well, you know, I would say what got him out, you know, my story was, look, it's crazy. You know, going to the University of Miami, I went to Miami in 2001, played with the best team ever, college football team. You know, I played as a freshman. I came back next year, sophomore year, going to my sophomore year, I tore my ACL. I got back on my feet, had a couple of games, and I tore my ACL again.
You know, and a lot of people wrote me off. Then also I had, going to the combine, I found out I had labrum tear in the combine, so a lot of people took me off their drafts. I was a jock boy, and, you know, the 49ers took a chance on me, and everybody was saying that they took me too high in the third round.
And, you know, they say I was playing two years, three years in the league, and I was able to play 16. And I tell the kids, you know, I tell the kids my story. I told them that as long as you believe in God and work your behind off and don't worry about what people say and believe in yourself that you can do it. And I showed them that, you know, that it can't happen.
Let's talk about that 2001 running backs room for a second. Who was the best running back in that room?

Chapter 3: What funny events happened in sports over the weekend?
Chapter 4: What insights does Frank Gore share about his career?
Roy, you know that moment when you're out watching puck and the server comes over and asks the table, what can I get you guys? And everyone freezes up. You know what you should do? What should I do, Mike? You've got to have some confidence. Or as Jagermeister calls it, shotfidence. I love it. If everyone's struggling, take control. Just order for the whole table.
A round of ice cold Jagermeister shots. Damn, that's cold. Because apparently, we've all been drinking Jägermeister wrong. Well, how should we be drinking it? We should be drinking it ice cold. At zero degrees Fahrenheit. Roy, like Jägermeister, what else is infinitely better ice cold? The sport of hockey, Mike. It's in the name. It's ice hockey. Ice hockey. Yes, regular hockey, not as great.
Not floor hockey. Ice hockey, real good. Damn right. Wherever you are, if you're hanging with friends or at the bar, call the shots. Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister.
Damn, that's cold. And remember to check Jagermeister out at DraftKingsXJagermeister.com.
Drink responsibly. Jagermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mass Jagermeister U.S., White Plains, New York. Now's a good time to remember where tequila's story truly began. In 1795, Cuervo invented tequila. Cuervo. What are you doing here?
Cuervo. Anytime someone says Cuervo, I show up. Cuervo.
The tequila that invented tequila.
Cuervo.
Do you know this one friend who just comes out of bed in the morning and then doesn't come out of his grin? Who is even in front of the first coffee, shamelessly well-groomed, and radiates the morning sun around the bed? Terrible. Disgusting. How can you just...
