All right, 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.
Smirnoff, number 21 vodka.
Distilled from grain, 40% alcohol by volume.
The Smirnoff Company, New York, New York.
Please do not share with anyone under legal drinking age.
What does 268 horsepower sound like?
You're hearing it right now.
The all-new Audi A5, precision crafted to bring the thrill to every turn.
This is powerful performance.
The all-new Audi A5.
Against the Spread.
Against the Spread.
Against the Spread is presented by DraftKings.
DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Roy, take it away.
All right, we got Golden Knights at Flames tonight.
The Vegas Golden Knights have failed to cover the spread as a favorite in each of the last 11 games, including this year.
They are 0-3 versus the park line, and they lost their last six games as favorites.
But the player in the Flames, who gave up 12 goals allowed this year to sport from the league, and all of them by Dustin Wolf.
That leads all goaltenders.
So go over the Vegas Golden Knights as the favorite.
One and a half goal.
Jack Eichel's going to get that selkie.
Jack Eichel is looking incredible despite their early struggles.
So get Sam Reinhart, though.
Billy.
In a league where we're all asking, is that team good?
And the answer is, hmm.
Kansas spread.
Kansas spread.
Or
there's a game this week that I really like.
It is the Carolina Panthers
against the New York Jets at the Jets.
The Jets, as you know,
have not won a game this this year.
The Panthers are hot.
They find themselves surprising
three and three right now.
Their season's done.
Well, it may be done, but take the Panthers this week.
Minus one and a half against the Jets.
This is one of those games where it could be a get-right game for the Jets, but it will not.
They will get wrong and continue to be wrong.
Take the Panthers, minus one and a half
against the Jets.
Put it on the poll, please, Juju.
Is this a get-wrong game for the Jets against the Carolina Panthers?
We will update the polls with Juju in just a second.
But you were at the Bills game last night.
You were despondent.
You told us before.
You were saying it before anybody, Juju, that your team is not for real.
We've learned that they're 3-21 now.
Their opponents, the ones they've won against, are a combined 3-21.
All those games have been close against 3-21 opponents.
And then the last couple of days, they've looked like feces.
Right.
Beating the Bills is not the head on your mantle that you think it is, Patriots and Falcons.
Our defense has, it's been piss poor for me, to me, for the last couple of years.
Even though they stepped up last night and wasn't the reason we lost the game, the old Josh Allen showed back up and almost threw.
It's embarrassing at this point.
I think Sean McDermott stays.
His seats should always be hot because you can't have that type of talent at QB and continuously come up short.
It's always on the defense.
We're going to get to top five coaches on the hot seat with Juju in a second, but did you think that that was the blitz last night or the five-man rush that was affecting him?
Or did you think he was hurt?
Because I haven't seen those kind of throws from him in a couple of seasons, Juju, where the guys are open or he's got to be precise and he's throwing it at people's feet and behind people.
Like he was super inaccurate last night.
Right.
That Falcons defense is underrated.
That Falcons defense will do that to you, even though they had that blunder in Carolina a couple of weeks ago.
It's that combined with his receivers.
I think he found something early with Josh Palmer, and then Josh Palmer got injured.
And now his receiving corpse is depleted.
Curtis Samuel out.
Don Kincaid out last night, one of his go-to targets.
I think he had to make something out of 50 cents last night and could not.
It is really interesting to see how that game could have switched when you consider the best throw Josh Allen had was his first one.
And the best play the Bills had is that they got a fumble from B.
John Robinson on his first carry of the game, and then it got overturned by penalty.
You could have, you could have slowed Bijan Robinson one carry into the game, and the penalty erased what would have been a turnover.
Like that, what happened last night to the Bills, I know that Chris Cody bet the Bills minus three and a half, but based on what Juju's been telling us, you felt that was coming last night.
Yeah, for sure.
Absolutely.
And we had a block punt, a timely block punt, and we could not do anything on the offensive side of the ball.
I think we're far away from the team that we used to be.
We've just been getting away with some squeak by wins by some poor teams early in the season.
You realize we're six games in and there are plenty of people out there who think the Patriots are better than the Bills.
Drake May, man.
He looks good.
Yeah, but they've got the MVP with the Bills.
The Bills at that position have the MVP of the league.
Like, Drake May doesn't look like, he's not, he doesn't look like Josh Allen, prime Josh Allen.
He looks like he's on his way, though, and that team is getting stronger week after week.
Who are the five coaches on the hot seat?
Do we have any OLI or you just want to bang through the five?
OLI is always Billy Napier, no matter what.
It's just throwing him in there.
I think they fight for him.
I really do.
I like the fight.
Guys, just give him a couple more years.
I didn't realize.
He's a coaching.
It's college football and pro football.
I thought it was just going to be pro football.
All right.
This is a good mix here.
It's just pro.
I'm just throwing Billy in there just because we talking hot seats.
Number five, Kevin Stefanski.
Might be a losers-aleave town match between the Dolphins and Browns.
Browns are a favorite.
A two and a half point favorite against the Dolphins.
Exactly.
Number four, he had fought himself off of the hot seat, but got himself right back on the hot seat with that blue tent situation.
Brian Dable.
You got to not go in the blue tent.
What are you doing?
That's rare.
Not every week you get to beat the Super Bowl champion and get yourself back on the hot list.
Right.
Number three, Jonathan Gannon.
You can't hit the players no matter what.
Tell Joe Rose that.
He hit them.
Number two, Aaron Glenn.
I'm sorry, brother.
I'm sorry, brother.
0-6 is 0-6.
And that
was second quarter.
How you handle the end of that overseas, embarrassing America.
Salute to the Jets.
Get Wilson.
But they've got a get-wrong game against Carolina this week.
And number one,
your guy in mind, Mike McDaniel.
I'm just waiting on the shoe to drop.
No arguments.
Speaking of shoes, did you see that photo of him with his foot turned?
That sounded coach.
Oh my God.
Those joggers.
I need to wear socks.
The joggers don't hit the same.
Like when he was a good, when we were good, those joggers were on the sidelines.
I'm so happy you're mentioning this.
Like, you could tell, like, he needs the success.
I know he's always been kind of rambly, but it has such a charm when you're winning.
But this is a bad, it's a bad aesthetic for a head coach that is losing, and he does not give off good head coach when they get L after L.
Can we just backtrack for a second?
I want you guys to go back to that heady time, and I'm going to argue that it is the best time the Dolphins have had this century.
They're 9-2, and Mike McDaniel
is arriving at Heath Games to sit courtside in a whole new wardrobe, a whole new look.
He is pure Miami, and that wasn't that long ago.
We all bought it.
All of us bought it.
And that's less than two years ago.
He was showing up at Heath Games, wearing jewelry, blinged out, feeling like Miami.
Banging the drum at the Panthers game and everything.
I know this is not the time for this, but I do think of the pie chart, I think it's more Greer and Tua.
100%.
I think McDaniel could be fine with a new GM and another quarterback, but I love his offensive scheme, but I get how bad it looks right now, and he's probably.
He's going to be such a good offensive coordinator with some team and save some other quarterback from a measly existence, and it's going to be infuriating.
He has no control of the team.
Like, do you guys think he has any control of the team or the players?
Because a lot of the players will still be there, and he's lost control.
I'm just saying at 9-2, it looked like he had control of the team when he was wearing chains and had a whole new fashion wardrobe on the sidelines of Heat Games.
I talked to an Eagles fan this weekend.
I was out of town and an Eagles fan came up to me.
I was wearing Dolphins gear.
I got a lot of people saying, go Finns and Finns up.
So the fan base is still there.
And the Eagles fan that was working at the place I was at, he said to me, oh man, what do you think about McDaniel?
And I was like, ooh, I don't think he's going to make it.
And he goes, good.
I can't wait for him to come to the Eagles.
And I was like, brother, you already got Vic Fangio from us.
Like, relax.
You don't want this guy as a coach.
Like, no, no, coordinator.
Thank you.
And I wished him luck.
Thank you for bringing up the Eagles.
We've got some video here before we get to the polls of an Eagles fan being arrested, which seems redundant, and seeing a television reporter on his way out as he's being escorted out by police.
I love your work.
Dave, I love your work.
As walking by, there's a reporter named Dave, and as he's getting arrested, walks by, Dave, love your work.
Handcuffs behind him.
Hands behind him.
Dave, I love your work.
And look how thrilled Dave is there.
Dave knows what he just witnessed.
Dave just got a great compliment that left him feeling sort of arrested.
Let's update the polls here.
What do we have today, Juju?
Do you still shout at your radio?
66% of the audience says yes, they do.
No.
Why?
We got some old listeners.
Why?
Because of Joe Rose's appearance.
They're getting something wrong.
It's just so infuriating.
It's like, oh, it's like that.

you see paul pierce tweet out the picture after his DUI the other day?
You see Paul Pierce tweet out the picture?
He's like, Look, guys, look how bad traffic was.
I really was tired.
Traffic wasn't moving.
I've never seen anyone decide to be like, it really wasn't my fault.
I preemptively took a picture just in case I got a DUI.
Oh my god.
Is this a vampire or a werewolf?
Looking at me,
64% of the audience says vampire.
Yeah, I agree.
Is a young person required to come up with a more modern detective example than Columbo?
82% of the audience says yes.
Most famous detective, Monk, Sherlock Holmes, Columbo.
And I put Nancy Drew for our, you know, younger listeners or older.
What about, I forgot the name that you just gave me that you and Pablo were arguing.
You guys were saying that knives out.
What's his name?
Oh, yeah.
I thought he was the one.
Yeah, Benoit Blanc.
I thought, didn't Tony just say that was number one?
Tony just said Benoit Blanc is number one there.
What's the vote reveal?
86% of the audience says Sherlock Holmes, most famous detective.
Is there a way to ground into a double play from a ball you hit 400 feet over the wall?
55% of the audience says no.
And the last poll is Jacoby Brissette always going to be available for one last drive.
95% of the audience says yes.
And those are your polls.
Thank you, Juju.
We will leave the audience here with Paul Pierce's tweet from Traffic here,
telling everybody that, you know, there's a lot of traffic when you're getting your DUI.
