Postgame Show: Spliff Notes feat. JuJu Gotti

Alright, Smirnoff.

Official vodka of the NFL, the world's number one vodka.

Here's the deal: game day is everything.

The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.

Smirnoff belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smirnoff.

Otherwise, it's not a real game day.

They've been doing this since 1864, which is.

I don't even want to do the math.

A long time.

They're award-winning.

They make cocktails super easy and they're all about bringing fans together.

So yeah, we do game days.

That's their thing.

And if you're over 21, you should too.

Grab a bottle of Smirnoff at your local retailer and head to Smirnoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day.

Please drink responsibly.

Greg, you have updated odds on Darren Waller for comeback player of the year?

Yes, all it takes apparently is one game and a couple of touchdown catches because he's now number five in the betting odds from zero from nowhere to number five.

Christian McCaffrey remains the sort of the habit favorite, even though he's averaging 3.3 yards per rushing attempt.

So I think it's a wide open race and out of nowhere comes Darren Waller.

Who are the other, I'm curious, the other three?

You know what?

All I have are my favorite and

Waller joining the fray.

Where is the MVP right now?

Yeah, Daniel Jones has to be up there.

The MVP?

Let me find him.

Does it have to be injury?

It's injury.

Yeah.

Maybe he wouldn't be on there.

You think it could be a player who's just crafting him and then has a really good year?

Joe Flacco didn't come back from an injury.

Nobody came back from not playing, right?

Because he wasn't good.

And Daniel Jones was binged because he was not good.

It can be either, though.

It can be injury or not playing.

But Josh Allen remains the prohibitive favorite for MVP, followed by Justin Herbert, who has surpassed Lamar Jackson for second place.

But Waller probably, you know,

closes the gap a little bit,

right?

I would think so.

And Waller's a great story.

You know, I imagine that whoever votes for comeback of the year is going to be enamored of his story, being out of football, having a muddled past with drugs and everything, and all of a sudden re-emerging.

That's a pretty good story.

All right.

let's bring aboard our pal Juju.

Juju, you saw Tyreek Hill getting carted off last night, and your thoughts were what?

Yeah, it was definitely devastating, especially having such a great game.

I think it's the less than 0%

chance or more than 0% chance that you guys may have it wrong when it comes to him getting carted off.

In my opinion, the brother was clearly in shock.

Like his knee just went the wrong way.

His career is potentially over.

And y'all think he's happy and clapping because he don't get to play for the damn dolphins no more.

I think that's just an example of how selfish fans don't put this.

Look,

please take this picture down.

I'm going to get to that a little later.

The fine's coming for that, but I'm 100% guarantee you that he was trying to put on the front.

Like, shoot, my knee just went the wrong way.

I don't know if i'm gonna ever get this microphone again like buddy say i think he was putting on the front and just trying to hype people up because his career this is career damaging this is damaging his money he don't give a damn about these dolphins he's not thinking about that and i think that as dolphins fans y'all may have thought about your team a little more than the human in that scenario He was holding up in number one.

That's a fair point.

I think that was, I think the

overall sentiment, though, was a bit of a bizarre reaction.

And maybe shock could help explain it.

But strange, we don't necessarily see that reaction from someone getting carted all that often.

Yeah, that's and I wanted to bring up a picture of Kyle Long getting carted off with a terrible ankle injury.

Like he was hyping up the crowd.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was doing more than putting up number ones right there.

Cool, you feel me?

That's two,

and then

Earl Thomas shooting birds.

And when he got off, he got hurt.

And then DeMar, and then DeMar Hammond.

But I'm saying, he

was he was of sound mind.

You feel me?

Like, and then think

of the opposing sideline.

Yeah, I want to know what the context is.

I think I remember that.

He was flashing at the opposing side.

No, well, on the opposing sideline.

The opposing sideline was in his background.

Yeah, I remember.

He was upset.

My man was upset.

Yeah.

Yeah, and as well, DeMar Hamlin, when he woke up in the hospital, his famous first words was, did we win?

There you go.

Brothers,

and I don't mean to bring this up too much, but I done been hurt a lot of times in my life life back in the day when I got stabbed.

I was stabbed in the club and now I'm outside the club with my arm just going bleeding.

And I'm just sitting here laughing like, boy, I can't believe this happened.

What's up, bro?

Yeah, I'm going to be all right.

So I feel like shock makes people do crazy things.

I'm not saying you guys are wrong, but I'm just saying there's a different side to look at that.

Juju, look at this jersey that I'm wearing.

Look at this dolphin jersey.

How much better is this than the one they wore last night?

Man, I do love that jersey, Zaz.

That's a classic jersey right there.

I think the jerseys last night, though, was was pretty cool i think they popped off the television like i think it was it landed whatever they was trying to do especially the brothers that chose to wore the either teal cleats or the orange cleats like i think it really popped and i think it's also important to remember that this isn't for us us middle-aged farts this is for the kids the kids gonna want to go to the school tomorrow and wear that black jersey mommy can i please get 150 for this jersey that's who it's for so even though you're right your jersey is classic and the old ones are very good i think those new ones still have a place in this 2025 show is the only place i've heard negative about these jerseys like those jerseys are awesome it's an honest show

there's just there's no lineage in those jerseys that's all there's no lineage to dolphins history other than their colors that are clearly in the colors on the logo like it's an alt other than the splash it's a black jersey with a splash dark yeah it's actually like a blue i think like a dark blue that's what they keep telling us i see black yeah but dark blue is not uh a dolphin color also speaking of the good old days i i did agree with you greg but i looked it up a little bit and the military and the minecraft video games are the only people that wore turtle shell helmets what about

what about tortoise shell oh touche touche you got me there Chuju, who you got?

Liam Cohen or Robert Sala?

Ah, see, that's another interesting one because I've been in the hood a lot of my life, and I saw the biggest, baddest man barking up and down the side of the street, getting knocked the F out by this little brother who he was trying.

This is like when you're walking out around these days, you think you're talking to a small guy that you can whoop on, but this brother knows jiu-jitsu and five places he can break your arm in.

So I wouldn't lean too heavy on Sala without understanding my brother Leon Cohen background.

You feel me?

Do bong.

also too we always talk about the safety helmets shame on y'all man

it's not that we should make everybody wear the uh safety helmets it's just that we shouldn't make fun of the people who choose to like you know what I mean like they want to be around for their lives and their and their wives and their kids beyond football it's like saying hey look at this idiot on the airplane wearing his seat belt we're in the sky he's stupid.

Nah, brothers.

Let's ease up on them folks.

I like, I'm totally cool with wearing the big safety helmet.

The part of it that I don't like is how they have to like pull over the fitted cap.

Like,

it looks like a bobo helmet.

Yeah, science needs to catch up here.

Yeah.

There are advancements coming.

They just haven't been cleared for use.

But the Guardian cap is just in its first form.

But right now, looks goofy as all hell.

Do you guys wear your seatbelt on a plane when the lights off and then you come back from from the bathroom, sit back?

Like, are you buckling up every time?

No, no.

I've laid, like, the last few years, I'll just, you know, safety first.

A plane has never crashed and someone survived because they wore their seatbelt.

No, but I've heard about like little bits of turbulence where people fly up and hit the ceiling.

Yeah, for sure.

That happened.

The last couple years, I've become back in my seat.

I'm putting my seatbelt on, safety first.

What about you, Juju?

Yeah, I'm usually keeping on.

Until the flight attendant walks by and I take it off and I just wanted to fool her right quick.

Yeah, I'm with you, man.

Put your seat a little back right before take right before landing just to mess with them.

Yep.

Juju, you got some polls for us here at Update.

Let's do it, man.

Yes, sir.

And while I find the polls, something I didn't get to yesterday, salute to the ACC.

I don't think we talked about it yet, but them allowing us in on the referee to Sakakis conversation, it is brilliant.

And I think that, yes, sir, bro.

Everybody should take heed.

Dude, at the Virginia FSU game, they nailed it.

They made all the right calls, but there was one time I'm like, no, no, no, it's not their down.

It's not their down.

It's fourth down.

Someone tell them it's fourth down.

And then they're like, oh, no, no, no, it's fourth down.

But I do like that.

But there is going to be a really embarrassing moment while you see it.

You're going to have people melting down on social media because they're botching it.

But I don't know.

Has it sounded like an elevator?

I haven't heard this yet.

Does it feel like an elevator or is it just like a couple guys on their couch?

It's good and they're quick with it.

Like it's really good.

I do think that Jim Phillips is getting a lot of credit here when the CFL does this, but you know what?

That's fine.

There's no other big conferences are doing this, and I'm appreciating the insight.

Yeah, hell yeah, man.

Were football helmets once made of turtle shells?

54% of the audience says, no, they weren't, Greg.

Sorry.

Very close race, though.

Very close.

Would you be disgusted by the smell of broccoli at 5 a.m.?

Yeah, it's too strong that early in the morning.

Right.

77% of the audience says, yes, they would be.

Are the Philadelphia Eagles the couple that likes to fight in order to have great sex?

Yeah.

94% of the audience says, yes, they are.

4-0 right now.

Also, too, before we get to this last poll, last couple of polls.

For Dan putting up that

Tyree knee situation, I think it's time to get his fines in order because he was very adamant about getting that picture.

And so, I want to put this out to the audience: I'm gonna put this poll up.

What should dance punishment be for leaving that picture up for umpteen seconds?

Wear a wig, I'll show,

put his hand in some mayonnaise, I'll show, wear a tank top, I'll show, or full Halloween costume.

Oh, no, put that up in the low.

He would love that one, he would love that third one.

Yeah, no king costume.

Does the old dog still have balls?

76% of the audience says, yes, it does.

Damn right.

Yep.

Damn right.

And last poll: are all playoff games big games?

No.

I love y'all so much because y'all boys don't even try to fake it no more.

WNBA playoffs have been going on this whole time.

Y'all don't give a damn.

Baseball is here.

83% of the audience says yes.

Every playoff game is a big game.

And those are your polls.

Good job, Juju.

Thank y'all, man.

Great show.
