Nick Wright is bothering Dan about Buffalo Bills fans celebrating like they won the Super Bowl after beating the Kansas City Chiefs and Dan says he doesn't know anybody else like him in sports media that always wants to be heard. The gang gets deeper into the NFL weekend including glitching that Dan experienced with his RedZone that nobody else seems to have experienced. The Detroit Lions are just going to embarrass every team in the league, huh? How many chinstraps were needed for the game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens? After some football talk, the crew discusses the "cataclysmic" fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson that took place over the weekend. Where does Jake Paul go from here? What would happen if Greg Cote and Chris fought? What was the last Canelo fight you watched? And most importantly, why was Mike Tyson's ass on Netflix? Learn more about your ad choices.

Chapter 1: Why are Buffalo Bills fans celebrating prematurely?
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.

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...

Welcome to the Big Sui, presented by DraftKings. Why are you listening to this show? The podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Levitard podcast. I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that. In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's fries if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys?
I've done it. And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
I don't know how many people like this you guys have met in your life in this business, a personality type that is particular, that no matter where it is that they are on the text string, on the phone, on their show, they're doing show. They're always on, and they want their opinions heard everywhere. Nick Wright has texted me because he wants everyone to hear this opinion of his.

Chapter 3: Which teams are dominating the NFL this season?
That's business. He's just, like, awkwardly pacing the house. That's what he does when he watches football games. Taking care of business.
I came in today, and this is what it is that Solomon Wilcox had to say. That's C-O-T-S.
He's still at it, huh?
He's still at it. I told you. It's coffee with a side of football in the morning. He said yesterday, listen to me. This is important because I don't think you guys know it. You knew it when you were watching, possibly. It came off of the screen on you.
Hmm.
But, Jessica, Wilcott said that Ravens-Steelers? Two-chin strap game. Oh, wow. Not one, but two. Two-chin strap game. Now, at one point I saw Zay Flowers was hit in the mouthpiece that he wears outside of his mouth. I think it seemed like he was wearing two of them outside of his mouth. He got hit by a laser beam by Lamar Jackson that he dropped on third down. Right in the face, yeah.
Yeah, but it was a two-chin strap game. That game was more violent than the other football games.
Did you see the interception that Peyton Wilson had? The linebacker. That play was insane.
Not really sure it was an interception.

Chapter 4: What happened during the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight?
Wait a minute. Historically, analytics people hate the end zone fade. I can't stand it.
Good. See, I didn't know that.
Yeah, but there are a couple of guys, like you throw an end zone fade to DK Metcalf, the math changes a little bit.
Right, but the field is working against you. You're throwing literally to a little corner. It's a terrible play, in my opinion.
I understand why you don't like it, why other people don't like it, and why analytics don't like it. But man, in goal line situations, when the choice a quarterback and a coach can make is...
It's one-on-one over there, and I'm going to trust my guy to be bigger, stronger, and faster than your guy because we pay the wide receivers better than we pay the cornerbacks, and a disaster's not going to happen. I'm unlikely to get an interception in that spot.
I'm going to take one shot that feels like better than 50-50 to me because I've got my athlete being more of an athlete than your athlete. I feel like that math is being done all over the field in hunting mismatches.
No one has more data than these head coaches. I'm sure there's a way to quantify the success rate if I throw it one-on-one to Steve Smith. But to my original point of calling players, I'll be playing the probabilities that my guy, my DK Metcalf, my Steve Smith, my Cooper Cup is going to be better than your guy trying to stop him in this moment.
You know why Russell Wilson threw that interception in the red zone? Why? Because he could hear everyone today saying the Steelers won that game without scoring a touchdown. And he was desperate to not get three out of that drive. Well, they didn't because he turned it over.

Chapter 5: Is boxing losing its credibility?
The other franchise hasn't won an NFL title since 1957. That's going to be an ideal Super Bowl match. If we get to it. Yeah. Right. Right. Big if. But is there a better likely matchup right now than that?
I don't think so. I'm going to look it up, but I think probably the worst odds that you would get on a Super Bowl matchup would be Lions-Chiefs, even with last night's result.
I'd be curious. Look that up.
I think that what has... They'll be on it. You don't have to tell them.
Friendly advice.
Yeah.
I'm curious. I don't know how this went over with everyone in the crew. I don't know if you guys were having glitching problems with your red zone yesterday because a lot of people were making the glitching hour jokes. You don't want your witching hour distorted by buffering or by seizing.
The things that I have found interesting about the revolution, Stugatz, of how it is that customers consume sports content, the streamers getting in the game for sports and live sports changes everything.
And I am legitimately surprised that there is not more glitchiness in the transition because I didn't think that Amazon would just be able to up and get a football game up with all of those cameras and everything you need to happen so that nobody notices that you're doing it for the first time. There's gotta be some tripping around, some stumbling around.

Chapter 6: What was the outcome of the fight between Tyson and Paul?
But I will tell you, Chris Cody, early on as I'm watching, and Mike Tyson doesn't throw a single uppercut, Jake Paul is wise to let an old man's legs get old by simply avoiding him early. And there he just gets tired because It is an impossible emotional fatigue and drain to go up into that fight to fight again over your fears and everything.
A lot of legs are giving, no matter what your stamina level is, because the fear grabs your legs. And the fact that Jake Paul knew enough to stay away from him early and the fact that I never saw an uppercut from Mike Tyson, never saw one throughout the fight because he wasn't close enough to do it. You knew early on.
That there wasn't going to be anything in his legs if Jake Paul could just keep him away for a couple of rounds.
Listen, boys, we got to talk about Jägermeister, a go-to guy at home, at the bar, or maybe even out at the rink. A drink so ice cold, it deserves its own video tribute at every sports bar across North America. No trash talk, no running its mouth. We love the confidence on them. Jägermeister sent us an ad to read on the show, but they're so confident they said, don't do any of that normal ad stuff.
Tell the listeners two things. Jägermeister is great, but everyone's been drinking it wrong. Damn, that's cold. Well, how should we be drinking it? They're so glad you asked. Ice cold at zero degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. Ice cold shots of Jagermeister. That's it. That's all they want to tell you. So wherever you are, if you're hanging out with friends or at the bar, call the shots.
Cheers with ice cold shots of Jagermeister. Damn, that's cold.

Chapter 7: How did Netflix handle the live event broadcasting?
I thought it was 100% manufactured. They were trying to make a moment and do exactly what it did. For those people that weren't watching, have something on the internet that reminds you this event's happening.
I have a feeling if Christopher, under any circumstances, interviewing me and I'm, you know, bottomless, he's going to say, Dad, put on some pants. Right. You know, like, is it that inconvenient to put on some pants? You're going to ask Mike Tyson in that spot to put on some pants? Hey, you know, the sun. Hey, Dad, please. Just, you know, a pair of pants. But I didn't feel cheated.
Look, it was a totally lopsided fight. They had to have a split decision to create any impetus for a rematch, and it was not even close to a split decision. Rematch?
It's not going to be a rematch.
Like I just said, if you were listening, a split decision, and there would have been impetus for a rematch. When you have a unanimous decision... There's nothing. It just dies. But the reason I didn't feel cheated is that anybody who had Netflix was watching it for free. It's not like I paid 70 bucks for pay-per-view.
Okay, you might not have felt cheated. I'm thinking that most people felt cheated by that. I don't think the event ends up meeting the expectations of whatever it is people thought they were going to get for four and a half hours of live programming. It's very difficult. But the test... What they pulled off successfully is, because this part's just crazy to me. It really is.
We're headed toward a duopoly in Hollywood. It just sort of seems like you've got Amazon and Netflix fighting to become whatever the future of television is with all of the money in the world to throw at the investment.
How do I get 60 million people around their television the way that it only happened when we had three networks and it was like the season finale of MASH or Cheers or Friends or whatever it is that... Or Dallas. Well, it wouldn't be Friends because that was after three networks, but there used to be a time. Look up for me, please. What gets a number of 60 million?
You may not believe the number from Netflix. You're welcome to question all of the ratings in the modern age. I don't know what's accurate anymore either, but... Netflix is saying that this is an unprecedented record-breaking success. They're just now getting into live sports. They're just now beginning to change what this entire model is.

Chapter 8: What can we expect from future boxing events?
in their defense they did like all of a sudden the paul fight was about to start and it was fixed yeah that was good they have unlimited resources they're they're gonna figure this out they're gonna get more people familiar with live sports broadcasts and i mean the stakes go up for them because they've been doing these things sporadically live activations beginning in january they get monday night raw live every week on their platform they're gonna have to get good at it quick
I also don't really get giving them a pass of like, this is their first try, they don't know how to do it. They just buy everybody else that's done it for other networks before, right? It's not like I'm trying to put on a boxing match and figuring it out live.
Yeah, I think they're outsourcing the production.
Yeah, they have people doing it that do this professionally.
I don't think they do have unlimited resources. They're a company that's not going to just spend an unneeded amount of money on something.
I meant it comparably. But I think that they were doing a lot of unconventional things, be it the manufactured moment with Mike Tyson's ass, which I think was 100% intentional.
So you think that was 100%? Yes. They were like, let's plan a bit with his ass.
I don't agree with him on that. You know the worst part about it for me? So, like, I tuned in for, like, not even two minutes. So I tuned in probably around nine, and I saw, like, all the, like, fake graphics that are there. Like, oh, how is this giant person floating in the air? Like, this is weird, right?
So, like, I tuned in to that, and then I see they're like, tonight we have, and it's, like, all of these fights that come up, and I go... I don't care about boxing. I'm not going to watch four hours of this to see one fight. I don't care about any of these fights. I don't really even care about the main event. Like, just sit around for four hours to watch Mike Tyson hopefully survive?
