All right, Smirnoff, official vodka of the NFL, world's number one vodka. Chris Cody, you're with me here.
Smirnoff!
Wow, you're on the money with Smirnoff. Spinoff.
I'm gonna ask you, Chris, what's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff! Not your favorite game day drink. What's your favorite game day food? Smirnoff!
All right, here's the deal: game day is everything. The noise, the rituals, the passion, the dip, the wings, the dip again.
Spirit off.
Smirnoff off belongs in that mix because if you're tailgating or hosting or just sitting there checking your fantasy lineup every 30 seconds, you need Smearnoff! Otherwise, it's not a real game day.
They've been doing it since 1864, which is... I don't even want to do the math.
It's a long time. It's like when Greg Cody was born.
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.
Why, Chris? Smearing off.
Grab a bottle of Smearin Off at your local retailer and head to Smearinoff.com to find recipes of delicious cocktails perfect for game day. Smearin' off.
Please drink responsibly. Smearin' Off!
Number 21, vodka distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume. The Smearinoff Company.
New York, New York. Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.
Smearinoff.

Going to get to the polls here with Juju. Going to get to Joker of the day.
Juju is very happy because the bills look overwhelming. Even when they're bad, they score 30 points a game.
But do you have anything, anything in the way of constructive criticism or any critique or reaction to anything said by anyone here today, Juju?
Who said objectionable things today? Anybody? You know what? I realized something very vital while watching the show today that I didn't think I would realize.
And it's like seeing Santa Claus uh eat your cookies and then take off his beard i realized today that some of you guys up there don't know ball man like i'm watching i'm listening zaz
no punching the football out they're wearing pads and helmets bro grow up this is not debatable they're running they're playing they're dying on the field launching each other at each other from five ten yards what do you got to say brother i see you sometimes they miss the football, though, and then they're just punching dudes in the chest.
It's crazy.
No, no.
Oh, no.
Punch the guy in the chest. We have pads on.
No. You're going to hurt the pads.
Also,
Dan and Zaz, I'm sorry. I don't want to hear you guys say Chiefs.
Never again.
I don't want to hear the word ch come out of you. No, no, no, you're not going to take that Ravens defense.
Nance can't name the players, and you guys are going to tell me that means that.
Oh, he's already coming out of his defense. Ravens might take it.
You know what else happened other than the Ravens? Xavier Worthy came back. Ravens defense.
Patrick Mahomes said, and I quote,
he opens up a lot for us, not just going down the field, but he opens it up for the rest of the guys. Patrick Mahomes knows a little bit more about the Chiefs' offense than anybody else.
You guys are going to be right after they did that to a team that Nance can't name their players. I love it.
Smile from ear to ear. First game back, 37 points.
How you love that? Exactly.
Everyone scored 37 against the Ravens defense except the Browns. And guess who they got next? The Jags.
This is going to look
real good for the savior-worthy argument. All right.
We'll see. We'll see who's right about that.
Who's the Joker of the Day, Juju?
The Joker of the Day. Goodness gracious, alive.
The Cowboys clock operator. What are you doing? Stopping the clock at one second in your homes in Jerry's world.
Let that clock run out.
Let the referees be like, no, no, no, no, no. We got to put time on the clock.
I will be damned if I'm in my home stadium in that atmosphere, Micah's back, and I'm going to stop the clock at one second. No, sir.
Cowboys still won. It doesn't matter.
Exactly. Don't no ball, but neither here nor there.
It's also adorable that you compared yourself to Colin Cowher earlier in the show.
it's the entire it's so adorable i love you zaz i i didn't think i compared myself so it just it'd be like he's like my rival that's all okay i get it i get it also you said you got mad let's let's keep our anger directed where it needs to be tyree hill you shouldn't be touching no dang women bro that's that's unacceptable we mad at you but we can't just be he went to his his daddy's birthday party you act like he shot up the club like we don't know how long his dad has left on this earth he can't go to his dad he was discussing what do you think you're gonna hear at dolphins practice that he ain't heard
i mean it ain't working juju the offense just clicked for him this offseason i
just using that probably something new he just now started to feel good about the offense and you're four with the team how about you go to practice and then you celebrate mom and dad the rest of the day
you might be knowing ball again look at you thank you do you have anything for us us as you wear an Eagles jersey and a Bills jersey on the Bills or the question posed on ESPN?
Are you more concerned about A.J. Brown or Saquon Barkley on a team that's won 20 of 21, 20 of 21 games? Brother, I'm glad you noticed this, these threads.
You know, it's not every day you wake up and both of your teams are the only undefeated teams in the league, neither here nor there. But I show concern for A.J.
Brown.
He tweeted out, if you're not welcomed, not listened to,
quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene.
Shrug your shoulders and be on your way. After a day that him and
my boy, Devontae Smith. Devontae Smith had four catches combined in Tampa.
That's rough. I know that.
It seems like nothing, but sometimes when you on these performing teams, you want to throw something in, bro.
You want to feel like you're a part of the team and not have people put memes like, oh, bro, think he's a part of the team.
Like, nah, I think that there's something to be said there and there's something to be paid attention to there because he's he has to see on his chest, he ain't just out there walking around.
So we got to understand: like, is there something going on between you and Jalen, or you just don't like Jalen's efficiency when it comes to AJ? How about the bills?
The bills, I'm gonna let you know right now. I'm celebrating the bills this hard because we,
as of right now, we are frauds.
We have beaten 0-3, 0-3, 1-3, 0-3 teams every week, and it hasn't been easy. Our defense is ass,
capital A double-s cheeks.
I think Stephon Gilmore is out there somewhere. Let's go after him.
We are, we cannot stop the run worth a damn.
So, every time the Bills win, I'm going to celebrate like it's the Super Bowl because we shouldn't have beat the Saints on Sunday. Lucky interception, Juju, though.
But I mean, Ed Oliver, yes, the Saints are throwing double reverse passes by not Spencer Rattler because Spencer Rattler shouldn't be throwing the passes because he hasn't won as their quarterback.
But Ed Oliver's kind of important to them. He is kind of important, but we're talking about it's not Spencer Rattler.
I saw Spencer Mahomes yesterday in Buffalo. We talked to him.
They don't know ball, they don't know ball, Juju. That's the issue.
They hear Spencer Rattler and they laugh because, oh, he's unbeaten. But if you watch the games, you know he's got frozen.
All right, cool.
add add rattler to your locker of uh mid-quarterbacks that never sticks to you when they're no good let's let's buy all that rattler stock bro it was a reason that me and the kid 10 day tony was going live after every single sunday game last exactly because we needed to get into your ear holes before you get tainted by what the hell is dan about to say on monday i thought i'd be encouraged by what you see from buffalo i mean they're basically telling you during the the press conferences leading up to the week.
They're kind of coasting right now and they're getting the dubs.
They're going to nurse themselves back to health. This is a team that kind of knows what they have to do in the postseason.
They've been reminded plenty and they're just approaching the regular season against inferior competition. Maybe not a way that earns you solid points, but they're getting through.
I'd be encouraged by it. Before we get to the polls, did you have any thoughts on the Cheryl Reeve conversation that Amin and Zazzler were having? I don't know what she was actually suspended for.
I thought she would be suspended for the con for the comments after the game saying the officiating is so bad, and she's not wrong, the officiating is so bad, we need a leadership change at the top of our sport.
Yeah, that's what I thought she got suspended for. The on-court stuff, you see that every other game by someone who's just upset or into the moment.
And even with the fans,
I don't think she was cussing out the fans. I think there was a Minnesota fan right there who was cheering her on and saying, yeah, this is messed up.
And she was like, yeah, you're right.
but neither here nor there she was saying bleep you to the no way
no way no i have i have a different angle i i got angles you know i mean thank y'all for talking w but hey i i promise you i got a different angle to where she was talking to someone matter of fact agree to disagree not important at all no go ahead no go ahead and tell us what the different angle is No, no, I feel like the
more time worthy angle is what she got suspended for, which is after the in the post-conference.
When she questioned the leadership and she questioned that even the referees don't even have the credentials to be in this spot, I think as a league, you got to kind of reprimand her in some way because that's very embarrassing for the league.
Now, like Amin said, suspending her for an elimination game, that's crazy to me. I thought they would have fined her $13 or something and just kept it moving.
By the way, Juju, like, maybe it doesn't matter because it was an all-encompassing blow up. Like, it was a cumulative blow-up from the entire game.
But that final play where Nafisa Kara got hurt, that wasn't a foul, Juju. Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh.
It's rough because initially the steal is not a foul, but she went knee-to-knee contact with the ball controller. And so it's hard to say if it is a foul or not.
It's left to the discretion of the referee, but I probably would have called that in that spot after seeing the replay and her ankle turning over due to AT kneeing her in in the knee.
We're going to get to the polls in a second, but we have failed to play the Ray Hudson sound of the day today
of the greatest broadcaster in South Florida history. So let's do that, please.
The coffee house tricks with the back heels, the back heel flick, and cool is Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. Absolutely imperious Rodolfo Pizarro in this Pizarro world.
At Lebatard show, if you want to vote on any of the polls, what do you have for us today, Juju, to update? It seemed like we had a lot of them.
Yeah, we got some polls left over from last week as well. So I'm going to go through them quick.
Has there ever been a better booster name than T-Boom Pickens?
No, there have not been. 92% of the audience says no, there hasn't.
Do you feel genuine delight when your peanut shell has three peanuts in it? 89% of the audience say yes, they do.
Do you feel ripped off when your peanut shell only has has one peanut in it? 89% of the audience says yes.
Is it safe to drink distilled water?
62% of the audience says yes. I threw this impromptu poll up because it was getting heated between you guys, and I wanted to know the answer.
Who would you rather have at quarterback for your team this week?
2025 Tua Taga by Loa or 2025 Cam Newton?
73% of the audience said 2025 Cam Newton. No.
What are we doing? No.
He can't even command the offense. Come on.
He can still dominate at the goal line. 2022, Cam Newton, was terrible.
You can dial it up once.
Is it fair to say Tom Brady has been followed by a plague of scandals?
79% of the audience says, yes, it is. I'm talking about a plague.
That's not right.
Big one right here. Biggest artist on the planet, Bad Bunny or Taylor Swift.
10 Day, close your eyes. 56% of the audience says Taylor Swift.
Wrong. Talk to the haters.
Yeah, they're wrong. It's a topic.
Was that tie a good win for the Cowboys last night?
76% of the audience says yes, it was.
Did you learn that Skylar Thompson was a stealer upon hearing that he got mugged in Dublin?
89% of the audience says yes.
And the last poll is France the mime hub.
56% of the audience says yes. And those are your polls.
Thank you, Juju. Appreciate it, sir.
Thank y'all.
