The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz
Local Hour: 🎶 Four Days Of Football, Yeah That's The Holidays 🎶
Mon, 02 Dec 2024
Today's cast: Dan, Stugotz, Chris, Billy, Lucy, and Mike. After four days of football over the holiday weekend, Dan asks Stugotz and the Shipping Container where to begin. The crew begins by diving into strange kicker stats inspired by Justin Tucker's continued struggles. Then, flag planting caused fights all across College Football this weekend. While Mike is frustrated by both flag planting and upside down hand signals, Dan finds the fights to be a "natural escalation" of college kid behavior in intense rivalries and Lucy finds it all kind of funny. Plus, Billy dismisses all of Europe, Sir Big Spur and the Cock Commander, the "worst 11-1 team of all-time," and how the Texans should feel after knocking out Trevor Lawrence in their win over the Jaguars. Also, after the Dolphins loss in the cold on Thanksgiving, who's to blame? Did Tua do enough to change narratives? Is it more about Chris Grier or Mike McDaniel? And will you join us to see if they can keep their season alive at our Sunday Service presented by Smirnoff? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Chapter 1: What are the strange kicker stats discussed?
Like, they're a much better team. We have so much to get to.
This is the Dan Levitar Show with the Stugatz Podcast.
Today's episode is sponsored by DraftKings. Stay tuned because you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to offer throughout the show. DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Not how my wife was singing it. Not really quite that joyously. I want to go over with you as we wait for Billy Gill and Stugatz to come in from God Bless Football a handful of things that I learned yesterday watching football, and I want you guys to tell me which of these you knew and which you find most interesting.
I did not know until yesterday that Eddie Pinheiro is the most accurate kicker in league history. I don't think a single one of those was important, even the ones that won games. Not unless he played on the Jake DeLome teams or the Cam Newton MVP team, and I don't know about it. So the most accurate kicker in NFL history has kicked a bunch of accurate kicks no one remembers.
Speaking of kickers, I did not before yesterday know that Sly, the Patriots kicker, who ended that game with a 68-yard attempt that was a yard short, has five misses this year inside of 30 yards. Five.
Did you know that? I didn't know that. What the hell's going on with Justin Tucker?
That's the only reason Pinero is now the most accurate kicker is because Justin Tucker has missed enough this year to make his percentage fall lower, closer to 89%.
You know what I think it is? He did a commercial for Craven where he's like the star. It's got Harbaugh in it. It's got Lamar Jackson. And they're all in awe of Justin Tucker. It got to his head. It's just like you can't be doing commercials as a kicker.

Chapter 2: What happened during the Michigan-Ohio State game?
Oh, it's going to be a big one.
as large as ours, there has ever been a game that had a worse combined record than the 4-7 the Dolphins are throwing against, what is it, the 3-9 Jets? Are the Jets at 3-9 as they lose another one, Stugatz? I don't understand why the Jets are ever favored in any of these games. All they do is get favored somehow with betting money and then lose all of... the games.
I'm assuming that that yesterday is as good as Aaron Rodgers has looked all season. Physically, moving around, connecting with Devontae Adams. I have not seen him look that fresh this entire season, and they lose anyway.
I don't think we've ever had a watch-along event where the stakes are so high. Yeah, big stakes. This is the Dolphins' season right here.
It's this Sunday. It's Sunday service. It's presented by Smirnoff. Join God Bless Football at Vivo at Dolphin Mall. Jets-Dolphins rivalry game. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. Eastern. Watch along live. They'll be on YouTube. We'll all be out there. Come on out.
Yeah, by the way, we're going to be going from 12 to 5, so you can get there a little bit early. I would recommend getting there early because, again, holiday shopping is going to be going on this weekend, and Dolphin Mall is a very busy place, as it is. If you can't go, check it out. And, Dan, you ask, basically saying, why are we doing a Dolphins versus Jets game? Who wants to see the Dolphins?
I didn't ask that. It is implied. It was implied. And I'll remind you, sir, we've done Bears versus Panthers and Cardinals versus Jets. Yep.
This is the game of the year.
We do bad games, Dan. This is nothing new to us for our watch parties, Dan. Yep. You know what I was thinking yesterday watching the Eagles game in the 4 o'clock? They show Vic Fangio, and it got me thinking, what did he see last year? Because we all kind of criticized him, like, oh, he's an old guy. He doesn't get this, the young guy.
