The Big Suey: What's The Omni Ever Done? (feat. Dianna Russini)
Dianna joins us from the NFL Owners Meetings, and since she forgot her headphones, she's getting dirty looks as the show peppers her with questions around the NFL, even if admittedly there are a few too many Dolphins questions. And as we finally get to the NBA on NBC with Michael Jordan, Amin wants credit for the way Carmelo Anthony was dressed.

Speaker 13 Welcome to the Big Sue,
Speaker 12 presented by DraftKings.
Speaker 14 Why are you listening to this show?
Speaker 13 It's a podcast that seems very similar to the other Dan Lebetard podcast.
Speaker 4 I'm sorry, I'm not going to apologize for that.
Speaker 13 In fact, the only difference seems to be this imaging.
Speaker 14 I have been tempted in restaurants just walking past tables to grab somebody's prize that if they're just there. That hasn't happened to you guys.
Speaker 6 I've done it.
Speaker 13 And now, here's the marching man to nowhere, fat face, and the habitual liar.
Speaker 16 This episode of the Dan Lebatt show is presented by DraftKings.
Speaker 11 DraftKings, the crown is yours.
Speaker 14 Diana Roussini is coming to us from a hotel lobby in Manhattan at the owner's meeting. She looks like an intrepid reporter right now.
Speaker 14 Zaszlo and Cody have spent the entire break arguing about whether or not the Dolphins.
Speaker 17 I won that argument.
Speaker 14 Whether or not the Dolphins quit or not on Sunday. I am really wondering what the score would have been if they had quit.
Speaker 14 Like what everyone looked at the scoreboard when they saw Cleveland won 31-6, if they did not watch the game, they're like, oh, that was a team that wasn't trying on the other side.
Speaker 14 If that's what happened at Cleveland. But we'll have Diana settle this for us.
Speaker 14 As incidentally, RG3 says on the Dan Patrick show that the Miami Dolphins need to blow it all up. They need to fire McDaniel and they need to get rid of Tua Two.
Speaker 14 And Bill Cower and others are saying, yeah, the Dolphins quit on Sunday. Your assessment here, Diana?
Speaker 18 Yeah, I think we all saw it. I don't think anyone watched that game and thought that Mike McDaniel even wanted to be out there in the rain and in the cold.
Speaker 18
He looked miserable just being the head coach. So we'll just start with him on the sideline and obviously the ridiculous sunglasses.
And he just looks like
Speaker 18 for a coach that I think had so much potential and is still a really bright guy, he just looks like it's it's spinning a little bit out of his control. Maybe not even a little bit.
Speaker 18 I think a lot of it. I think the pressure of all this is mounting and the players are unfortunately left with a lot of questions and not getting a lot of answers.
Speaker 18
They will tell you over and over in Miami. And the people I talk to there, they're trying to figure it out.
They're trying to get the right people leading these meetings.
Speaker 18 The name Anthony Weaver, the defensive coordinator, his name has come up. He's come up in league circles for the last few seasons as somebody that is a leader of men.
Speaker 18 And to me, that's just what the Dopplins look like they need right now. I understand what they're doing here, right?
Speaker 18 I talked to some people on Monday after that game about, all right, making changes, right? What do we got? Well, you know, when are you guys going to fire Mike? Just give us a heads up.
Speaker 18 And they continue to say the same thing, which is we're not, we're not doing it because ownership believes that he can still continue to turn this around. That's obviously Stephen Ross's opinion.
Speaker 18 And we all have varied ones.
Speaker 14 Deshaun Watson is the worst contract in the league. Is Tua second worst? Who's second worst? What's What's the second worst contract in the league?
Speaker 18 I mean,
Speaker 18 Tua is up there. I think Trevor Lawrence gets thrown in there a lot when you talk about bad deals.
Speaker 18 Look,
Speaker 18 I understand
Speaker 18
what the Dolphins were doing with Tua. And when they did it, I don't think any of us from a salary standpoint were really criticizing him that much.
I know I wasn't. I thought it was a fair...
Speaker 18 uh deal for him and if you remember at the time the concern was less about his play and more about the injuries, right?
Speaker 18 It was more about whether or not he could stay healthy on the field and was this really worth the risk, which is why I had always thought that for my, like Chris Greer and this organization needed to make sure no matter what happens, no matter how much they're paying their starter, they better have a really good backup plan in place.
Speaker 18 And guys, the theme of this season more than ever, more than ever, and nobody wants to hear it because it's boring, but the teams that are doing well have quarterbacks that are part of good programs with good good coaching and good support.
Speaker 18 And at one point,
Speaker 18 I would have said the Dolphins were one of them. At one point, I believed in what Mike McDaniel and Tua were building.
Speaker 18 And this has really veered into a territory now where it seems like there is no hope left, that they really can't turn this around, despite the fact that ownership.
Speaker 17 Everyone did believe, though, Diana.
Speaker 14
Everyone believed like you did when they were at the top of the offensive power ratings. Like that's where the belief came from.
We saw Tua be better than any of us us thought that he was.
Speaker 18
Exactly. But there is a major disconnect between Tua and his coach.
That is quite obvious. They're literally doing it publicly.
Speaker 18 What did we really expect, though, on Sunday? And I'm calling myself on that, out on that as well.
Speaker 18 I do not go into that game going, oh, yeah, the Dolphins, they'll get through this. I mean, I criticize the Eagles left and right because of their drama.
Speaker 18
And you can do it and know that they're still going to perform because they're that good and they've got the right leaders. That is not Miami at all.
And I don't understand.
Speaker 18 Look, I will never be one to sit up here and go, yes, change is needed, fire coaches in season. But when it starts to look like this,
Speaker 18
when you're losing the locker room and you're losing effort, just basic effort. I don't know how they can just be okay with it.
And I was here listening to you guys talk about ownership before.
Speaker 18 And for those that are watching the show right now, you can see I'm sitting in a hallway.
Speaker 18 I'm literally at the owner's meeting in Midtown Manhattan right now, where all the owners are upstairs, including Stephen Ross,
Speaker 18 having just mandatory meetings that they do every fall.
Speaker 5 That's a side entrance of a hotel, if I've ever seen it.
Speaker 18
For real. It really is.
This is a shady one. Diane, are you sitting down too?
Speaker 5 People are walking by you and they're way taller than you. Are you sitting down?
Speaker 18 Yeah, I'm like on a chair.
Speaker 15 Oh, yeah, thank you. I'm in that sad chair.
Speaker 17 I was going to ask you if you traveling.
Speaker 18 I think I want to do like a true, like, like
Speaker 19 Do the fake elevator bait.
Speaker 6 That's funny.
Speaker 18 If I sat, most of the owners would be that height anyway. They're not heightened.
Speaker 19 You can sit down. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 15 Okay, cool.
Speaker 18 I'll sit down. So, which, by the way, small observation that I make because this is so bizarre what I'm doing.
Speaker 18 So for those that don't know, what I do is I'm sitting in the lobby while the owners are meeting. And then when they break, they're going to come down, maybe get some water, have some food.
Speaker 18
Some of them are going to leave. And there's no setup interviews.
Nobody's saying, okay, Stephen Ross, you're now going to sit with the athletics, Diana Rossini. He's just walking.
Speaker 18 And I then have to go chase him
Speaker 18 and ask him for an interview, which I will be doing right after we talk here to see what is the direction of this organization.
Speaker 18 So it's a little bit of a weird scenario and a weird situation because they don't want to talk to you. I don't really want to talk to them, but I have a job.
Speaker 18
And this just happens all afternoon. So this is kind of, you guys are catching me at the perfect time because they're meeting.
So I don't, I'm not really missing anything.
Speaker 18
But, you know, the commercial, the bigger, wow, you're right. I really look smart.
People look gigantic behind me.
Speaker 5 Diana, you look so tiny.
Speaker 18
Oh, these are important. These are league office people.
They're very important. Oh, wow.
Speaker 19 Ask them if they think the dolphins quit.
Speaker 14 Cody, what do you have for Diana? Diana,
Speaker 20 everybody says the dolphins quit. You just refer to them.
Speaker 20 You just refer to them having a lack of effort.
Speaker 20 When you say things like they quit or they didn't show effort is the final score always enough or do you need evidence on the field i'm wondering what you saw in that game on the field from miami that told you they quit who did you see with a lack of effort in that game
Speaker 18 i don't even think it's about miami as much as it's about the browns like if you're going into cleveland and and you're not even able to put up a decent fight against an okay team that, you know, outside of their defense, which is exceptional.
Speaker 18 Like, think, I think we can all agree that they're the best part of the Browns. It's why they're able to even stay alive.
Speaker 18 We're talking about Dylan Gabriel as the quarterback or rookie who I didn't know that much about him coming into the draft, right? So,
Speaker 18 look, I want to believe in Mike. And every time he steps up to the podium, pointing the finger at himself, I mean, they're actually all pointing a finger at each other, but
Speaker 18 why did we expect effort? Like, did you think that performance was
Speaker 18 filled with a bunch of disciplined players that came in with a really good game plan
Speaker 18 that were going to lean into the skill sets that they have, which we could probably do a whole segment of what are the Miami Dolphins good at right now?
Speaker 14 I don't know. Greg, what would the score have have to have been for you to concede?
Speaker 17 And I'm not, again, I'm not saying they quit.
Speaker 6 I'm just asking you what.
Speaker 18 I feel, Greg, I feel like you're trying to say that
Speaker 18 you think that my opinion that they weren't making effort is wrong, that that was just bad football, that they were trying, but they just are not very good.
Speaker 19 Yeah, you just think they're bad.
Speaker 20 Of course, I think there was effort in that game. I think it was a bad team losing to a bad team,
Speaker 20
a bad team beating an even worse team. I'm not accusing you of anything.
I'm anybody who says, ah, they quit, anybody who says, that was a lack of effort by that team.
Speaker 20 I always say, what on the field, beyond the final score, what on the field did you see?
Speaker 20 What player on the field did you see quitting now when jimmy butler was uh almost leaving the heat there were analytics that showed jimmy buffet
Speaker 18 example of like you know a corner just giving up and not even attempting to make a tackle or no no i don't i don't think we're at that part of the season where guys know that it's done and they're just they're just you know you you hear this all the time where guys in the locker room will tell you, like, yeah, no one was even trying because they don't want to get hurt.
Speaker 18
This guy, this one's in a contract year, he's not willing to take a risk. Hello, no, it's okay.
Um,
Speaker 21 did they offer you something? What was that?
Speaker 17 Let's go.
Speaker 15 Cup of coffee? Is that Mr. Richard?
Speaker 14 I mean, what did you have for Diana? Well, it just seems to me that the Dolphins Dolphins Time.
Speaker 14 Wow. Yeah, about five minutes past on Dolphins Time.
Speaker 15 That is time on the Dolphins.
Speaker 18 I want to go back and watch the game and
Speaker 15 called it.
Speaker 18 Diana, I trust that I see.
Speaker 18 Because now I want to give better examples.
Speaker 16 Time.
Speaker 14
Diana, trust me. I had a great question, but it's time.
So we got to go on something different.
Speaker 15 So you.
Speaker 18 Wait, what is the time thing?
Speaker 15 We're only
Speaker 15 too much time.
Speaker 15 Time.
Speaker 6 Time said we can. Stab it out.
Speaker 15
No more dolphins. Yeah.
They're a pathetic joke of a franchise.
Speaker 15 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 18 This is echoing in the lobby of the Omni. You don't have headphones on?
Speaker 11 No.
Speaker 18 I forgot to bring them.
Speaker 4 Okay, well, okay, I'll whisper the question.
Speaker 15 So, Diana, Diana,
Speaker 14 you mentioned that the owners will come downstairs for refreshments, and that's when you'll sidle up.
Speaker 21 Is that Lewis Riddick?
Speaker 14 How do you sidle up?
Speaker 17 What's your opening line to gain the confidences of an owner?
Speaker 18 Okay, actually, I need your opinion about something.
Speaker 18 So
Speaker 18 because I only see the owners three times a year, roughly, I always think the most professional approach is always to reintroduce myself, right? No matter what.
Speaker 18 Even the ones that I've known for years, to just, hey, how are you? Just Diana Rossini. Yeah, they're old.
Speaker 18 Just familiarity. And also to remind them that I'm not just a fan or a person that works for the league.
Speaker 18 So they're aware that they are talking to a journalist and that what we talk about is probably going to be written about, or I'm going to talk about it.
Speaker 18 But I've noticed a little trend yesterday when I was doing this where I think they get offended that I introduce myself as if I'm underestimating their recall. So then I got a lot of like,
Speaker 18 yeah, I know.
Speaker 18
And I'm like, wait, I was just doing that because I know you meet a lot of people. You're very important.
My face is very boring and bland.
Speaker 18 And, you know, I look like six different people in the lobby right now.
Speaker 14 Diane, the problem is it comes off as fake humility. Like, oh, you know, it doesn't.
Speaker 13 She's trying to be courteous.
Speaker 14 I know what she's trying to do.
Speaker 18 I see what you're saying. I know what she's Diana Rossini, but I know you know who I am.
Speaker 16 Exactly.
Speaker 14 Yeah. Like, kind of like, hey,
Speaker 15 my brain,
Speaker 18 my brain does not go that way.
Speaker 18 I want to. I should probably be a little bit.
Speaker 14 What a great self-assessment from you. Wow, I'd like to be arrogant, but I'm not.
Speaker 14 I can't.
Speaker 17 I can't.
Speaker 21 Not even self-is arrogant.
Speaker 14 I can't even try fake humility. No, it's just humility.
Speaker 15 Aspiring vision.
Speaker 18 I don't know what I want to be, but I can tell you this version doesn't work. So, no, it's a good question.
Speaker 18 Look, I watch these TikTok videos about how to improve small talk
Speaker 18 because the
Speaker 18 they say they, the professionals at small talk, say the worst thing you could do in a conversation is to go, hey, Dan, how are you? Worse.
Speaker 18 Subconsciously, your brain shuts down and you're now no longer interested.
Speaker 18 But if I make an observation about you physically or I'm aware of something you're working, hey, Dan, you know, how's that project going?
Speaker 18 Or, you know, let's just say, I'm trying to think of a corner of who I started. Like I saw Charlotte Jones, who is lovely to talk to and I hadn't seen her in a while.
Speaker 18
And I went right up to her and said, hey, Charlotte, Diane. And she's like, oh, how are you? She did it.
I just went back. Has life since Micah?
Speaker 18 I just went right into it. Nice.
Speaker 18 You know, so.
Speaker 14
You're also in the awkward position, though, of meeting all of these people. And it's so transactional.
You need something. They don't, right? And so that makes the whole thing awkward.
Speaker 18 Yes, but I enjoy this event more than most
Speaker 18 because owners don't care, right? Coaches lie,
Speaker 18
players lie. The owner, I'm sure the owners lie too, but they just say it.
I talked to Woody Johnson yesterday. Did you see what he said? Yeah, you were there.
Speaker 18 I didn't even ask him about Justin Fields. He just said,
Speaker 18 like, he's like,
Speaker 18 can't complete a pass, you know? Like,
Speaker 15 who wants to hear what I have to say about Justin Fields?
Speaker 18 The whole time I'm sitting there listening to him, I'm thinking, he's not wrong.
Speaker 18 Like, is it good for the locker room and for the Jets players to hear their owner basically say that their quarterback stinks? No.
Speaker 18
But he's thinking what every other Jet fan is thinking and saying it. So, so, yeah, Dan, I'm with you.
Like, it definitely feels a little transactional.
Speaker 18 And they know I'm only talking to them because I want to hear about the state of their team. But there's owners like
Speaker 18
Carly Ursay, who is not someone I would have been chasing down a few years ago, whereas their team's doing well. So they want to stop.
The Teppers, right?
Speaker 18 Like usually they were sprinting down the hallway. Today they stopped, right? Because their team's above 500 for the first time since 2019.
Speaker 14 The season's over.
Speaker 22 This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. It's December, which means the holidays are here.
Speaker 22 Again, some families have those big heartwarming traditions, and then there are the rest of us just trying to to keep things peaceful and make it through the month without any major incidents.
Speaker 22 But honestly, December can be tough. It gets dark early, everyone's stressed, there's a lot going on, and the whole most wonderful time of the year thing can feel more like pressure than joy.
Speaker 22 That's why it's important to take care of yourself, stay connected, and maybe create a few traditions that can actually help instead of adding to the chaos. Therapy can be one of those new traditions.
Speaker 22 Better help makes it simple. They've got over 30,000 licensed therapists and have helped more than 5 million people.
Speaker 22 With 12 plus years of experience, their matching system usually gets it right the first time. You can switch therapists anytime.
Speaker 21 No holiday awkwardness required.

All right, so apparently everyone is launching their own AI agents now. You get an agent.
No, you get an agent.
Speaker 12 They're automatting tasks, running workflows, making decisions, and occasionally absolutely wrecking your day. You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 12 An agent deletes the wrong files, changes something you've never approved, or just goes completely off script, like it's trying to improvise its way out of a paper bag.
Speaker 12 And suddenly, you're the one stuck trying to figure out what went wrong unless you're using Rubrik Agent Cloud. Because here's the thing, AI is moving fast, like really fast.
Speaker 12 Rubrik Agent Cloud is the only platform that lets you monitor, govern, and rewind AI agent actions.
Speaker 12
One platform that lets you unleash more agents faster without fear that they're going to burn the place down. You get full visibility into what your agents are doing.
You can enforce guardrails.
Speaker 12
You can actually quantify the risk. And if something breaks, you just rewind it.
Like an undo button, but for AI. And that rewind happens in minutes, not hours or days.
Speaker 12 And if your business relies on AI agents, you need the ability to monitor, govern, and rewind their actions. Right now, Lebatard Show listeners get exclusive early access to Rubrik Agent Cloud.
Speaker 12 Head to rubric.com. That's R-U-B-R-I-K.com, rubric.com.
Speaker 12 If you could stop somebody from breaking in before they got inside your house, why wouldn't you?
Speaker 12
Most old school systems only go off after somebody's already in your place, opening your fridge, petting your dog, whatever. At that point, it's too late.
It's reactive. Simply Safe is different.
Speaker 12 It's proactive with this double layer of defense that helps stop crime before it even starts.
Speaker 12 First, their AI-powered cameras spot potential threats outside, not just in motion, but an actual person lurking around in the bushes, behind a tree, in a car, under the car, wherever they may be.
Speaker 12 Then live monitoring agents jump in right away. They talk to the person through the camera, let them know they're on video and that cops are getting called if they don't leave.
Speaker 12 That's how you stop crime before it starts. Personally, I trust Simply Safe to protect what matters most at my house, my wife, my daughter, my possessions, my things, my home, my safety, my peace.
Speaker 12
I trust that to Simply Safe. That's it.
That's the list. No long-term contracts, no hidden fees, and SimplySafe was just named the best home security in 2025 by U.S.
News and World Report.
Speaker 12
Right now, it's the best time to jump in. Simply Safe's last chance, Black Friday sale, 50% off any new system.
Go to simplysafe.com/slash DLB. Again, that's simplysafe.com slash DLB.
Speaker 12 There is no safe like SimplySafe.
Speaker 4 Don Lebatard.
Speaker 20
I want to address Tony and all men who would wear that shirt in public. Stugats.
Don't do it.
Speaker 10 This is the Don Lebatar Show with the Stugats.
Speaker 19 Diana, Diana, this is a compliment.
Speaker 2 I believe your your teeth to be real.
Speaker 23 But the teeth whitening routine, what does it look like here? Is this a contrast with the tan? What are we doing?
Speaker 18 Wait, the teeth, mine? Yeah, your teeth are very white.
Speaker 15 Hey look good.
Speaker 18 It's so funny, too, because I drink so much coffee and I don't do the straw thing. All the girls do the straw thing so you don't get the stain.
Speaker 15 Yeah, but what are we doing? Whitening strips?
Speaker 18
No, Kev got this charcoal. Like it's like a black toothpaste.
And we've been using that and and which is weird, right? Like why are my teeth whiter if I'm brushing them with a black?
Speaker 19 Did you get it on IG?
Speaker 25 Because I got the purple one for my IG.
Speaker 6 No, the purple one's bad purple's bad's bad purple one's bad why purple buddy it removes yellow
Speaker 14 i got the i got the powder that i put on top of the toothpaste you guys got that one it's like a powder that you sprinkle on top of the toothpaste and then you brush let me see your grill it's the grill i think you need to do the just drug
Speaker 18 the reason why the lighting it looks this way is because i saw my former camera crew from espn uh we call him jimmy the greek and he's like a legend at espn and he always his job basically like he knows nothing about football like i could call jimmy over here and be like jimmy name one cornerback and he'd be like no idea.
Speaker 18
He thinks his job is to just make sure that you're lit. So that's, so he helped me out.
So an old and an old colleague giving us some help. I told him I was coming on here.
Speaker 18
So he's like, oh, absolutely. He loves you guys.
Powder?
Speaker 19 Powder on the toothbrush. Just put it on your finger and it is.
Speaker 18 Powder on the,
Speaker 18 I've never heard of that. It's cocaine.
Speaker 14 I'm just really excited about dental hygiene. I don't understand what you guys got.
Speaker 17 Let's speed her up too while we're at it.
Speaker 14 Let's speed her up with the music that will get through as much
Speaker 14 as football information as we can.
Speaker 14 The Russell Wilson, Sean Payton beef, where Sean Payton was hoping that Russell Wilson would stay the Giants quarterback, said so publicly, didn't want to see Jackson dart, and Russell Wilson called him classless and not surprising, and then said, hashtag, let's ride.
Speaker 18
Let's ride. I love it.
How mad did he have to be for him to come at a character and be a human being? What a great.
Speaker 18
I am not a big clapback person. Like, just ignore it.
Good for us.
Speaker 14 Well, hit him with a bounty, though, too.
Speaker 18 a bounty joke how did you feel about that bounty joke in the middle of that sean payne's gonna come back there's no doubt he'll find a way i'm surprised sean didn't hop on twitter he's a twitter he's got twitter fingers this is the first public dub for russell wilson in a long time like i feel like everyone is just kind of on his side here it is truthfully though that it is kind of a known thing in the league that there are some coaches that have worked with russell wilson and sean paying is certainly one of them who just did not like the experience at all and a lot of it is for the reasons why we criticize him as a show and as a journalist.
Speaker 18 So just sometimes I just think that the authentic version of him is the best.
Speaker 18 And I think it's really hard sometimes for him to be that all the time, which is why we're all like, all right, Russ, like it's okay to show that like you're not happy with,
Speaker 18 you know, a head coach disrespecting you. Stand up for yourself a little.
Speaker 14 You mentioned the Ursays, the Colts, that whole thing is real, right? I don't think anyone expects that to beat Kansas City, but you better stop underestimating that.
Speaker 18 yeah i i'm past doing that i was kind of like okay this kid's turning back into a pumpkin soon it's gonna happen it's gonna happen it's daniel jones i've watched enough giants football in my life um but even just talking to carly ursay about why they went with daniel jones and and just even his demeanor so funny to hear how she describes she's like he's not like say a lot he doesn't do a lot
Speaker 18 He just goes out there and plays and he's tough and that's all that matters.
Speaker 18 But I think with their defense and perhaps maybe some additions they make of the trade deadline, if they do that, they're looking at corner and they've got this offense humming, right?
Speaker 18
You could make an argument. They potentially have a coach of the year in Shane Seichen.
They've got an offensive player of the year in Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 18 They've got a comeback player of the year in Danielle Jones, right? You've got a lot of good things happening in AD. You don't say that a lot.
Speaker 2 Would you be surprised if the Patriots won the AFCs?
Speaker 18 No, no.
Speaker 18
If you told me this in August, I was like, no way, they steak. They have been really impressive.
I think Josh McDaniels has done an exceptional job with Drake May.
Speaker 18
I think Drake has always been talented. You talk to anyone in football that was looking for a quarterback in that draft.
They're all, everyone was high on Drake, despite some of the things out there.
Speaker 18 I think there's some reports that some teams didn't like. Every team liked Drake May.
Speaker 18 I just think the fact that the Patriots have been able, that Josh McDaniels has been able to replicate some of the success that we saw early with Tom Brady already.
Speaker 18
And I'm not, I'm not there yet being like, oh, this is the Brady Patriots yet. But, you know, this is a team that's doing it right.
They've got the right head coach. They've got the right OC.
Speaker 18 They've got the quarterback.
Speaker 5 All good things for them.
Speaker 14 Here's what May's doing, though. It's not just the 21 of 23 that was better than any completion percentage Brady had.
Speaker 14 It's not just throwing the ball downfield better than any second-year passer ever has. They had a spy on him in Tennessee, and he's still running all over the place.
Speaker 14 He ran for 90 yards last year against Tennessee. That guy, like, if people think that's a pocket passer, he's got great pocket presence, but he runs like crazy.
Speaker 14 Like, he will run bigger and better than Mahomes will.
Speaker 18
Yeah, um, Chase Daniel, my colleague on, uh, excuse me, my co-host on Scoop City, he, he's like, he reminds me of Philip Rivers a little. He's got a little Philip Rivers in him.
Uh, personality, no.
Speaker 18
Personality is like a little Eli. He's like, he reminds me of Eli Manning.
By the way, next time Drake May does an interview post game, close your eyes and tell me you don't hear Eli.
Speaker 18 Like, it's like identical to me in my ear.
Speaker 18 But in terms of play, yeah.
Speaker 18 The toughness and you know, when I think about the type of quarterback that I know Vrabel wants, one thing he loved about Tannehill, I know you guys are going to debate me on this,
Speaker 18 was his toughness in Texas. That was what the one thing he loved.
Speaker 19 No, he was tough.
Speaker 14 Nobody would debate that here.
Speaker 19 He was tough.
Speaker 18 And, you know, I saw Robert Kraft yesterday, and
Speaker 18 he's glowing.
Speaker 12 Diana, do you think the Patriots are going to be a buyer at the deadline? I feel like if they had like one alpha wide receiver, they'd be a team that could be a winner in the AFC.
Speaker 18 Whole A.J. Brown?
Speaker 15 Hmm. No,
Speaker 18 Billy's not true.
Speaker 15 Waddle?
Speaker 15 Not now.
Speaker 18 We'll see.
Speaker 15 No,
Speaker 18
I think defense. I think if they're going to make a move with the game.
You got to speed it up.
Speaker 15 Got to speed it up.
Speaker 6
It's a tough question. Dan, she's trying to think, Dan.
No thinking.
Speaker 18 You know what I'm doing? I'm going through my text messages in my head of like, what was the last thing I was told about what the Pats are doing?
Speaker 18
No, it's the Patriots are making calls on defense. I don't get get the sense they're going running back, going receiver, but I'm with you.
Like I could like, that would be awesome.
Speaker 18 Like they're not doing it, but let's say the same sort of move like Chris Olave or something, but they're trying to work out a deal with him.
Speaker 14 Diana, our very own Mike Ryan, reported yesterday exclusively that Marcus Freeman, although he's a target for Penn State and Florida, he's rather, if he's going to leave Northern Dan, it'll be for the pros.
Speaker 14 Have you heard anything in the pros about interest for Marcus Freeman?
Speaker 23 That would be his preference. The Chicago job last year was a particular interest.
Speaker 18 Yeah,
Speaker 18
I remember working on that story. And at the time, I can tell you, everyone was saying the same thing to me, which is Marcus wants to be where he is.
Like, he loves where he is.
Speaker 18 That's not my question.
Speaker 14 My question was: is there any interest in the pros for Marcus Freeman?
Speaker 18 I don't know yet.
Speaker 18 At this point, I'm not sure if the Titans are a team that would want to go in that direction or if even the Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 18 The name I am keeping an eye on is Sarkeesian.
Speaker 18 Curious to see if he wants to do that move.
Speaker 18
that's something that that would interest him, perhaps. Just you made me think college.
Um, so, so, no, I will get back to you on the Marcus Freeman thing. That's not it.
Speaker 18 I know the bear, there was somebody in a very high-ranking position with the Bears that really wanted Marcus last year.
Speaker 15 Uh, but Marcus
Speaker 18 didn't want them at the time, Diana.
Speaker 5 If the Dolphins are offered blank for Jalen Waddell, they should consider it
Speaker 18 like in terms of like
Speaker 18 trade value? Yeah.
Speaker 18 Fourth round.
Speaker 20
Diana, Super Bowl odds are really indecisive right now. The perception is there's no super team.
What right now is your Super Bowl matchup?
Speaker 18 Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 18 They have been the most chill organization all fall. I can't get a person there to tell me that things are not good.
Speaker 18 Everything is, and this isn't like positive poly stuff too that sometimes you get from teams. Like,
Speaker 18
we're going to be fine. We're going to be fine.
We're going
Speaker 18 and and from the nfc and and we see it every uh the detroit lines detroit lines are
Speaker 14 they're building on this i i good why is your reporting so much different than everyone else's on bill belichick when you said on nick wright's show uh they tell me this is the happiest they've seen bill in years he feels like the students are actually buying into what he's doing
Speaker 18 Because I did a lot of digging on it and I talked more directly to the people involved to find out what's going on. Like, what do you guys want?
Speaker 15 do you, are you happy?
Speaker 18 Or is this where you want to be? And,
Speaker 18 you know, the people there tell me that that is what it is. And,
Speaker 18 you know, Belichick's camp will tell you that you have to be around it to understand it. And I had a colleague of mine around it on Friday night when they played Cal.
Speaker 18
And there is definitely a little bit of that. Like it's not as bad as it may seem.
Do I think it's good? No, I don't think it's good.
Speaker 18 But I do think there's a lot of people in the NFL, in the college base, on this planet who want to see Bill Belichick fail. And everyone has their own reasons.
Speaker 18
It's not my job to figure what those are out. I am just telling you that there's always two sides to things.
And it's not just Bill is trying to get out or Bill is miserable and Bill's a bad coach.
Speaker 18 There are some good things that are happening there and he wants to be there.
Speaker 14
She's the senior NFL insider for the athletic, the host of the Scoop City podcast. She's joining us from a sad side adjacent hotel lobby and she will do anything for our show.
Thank you, Diana.
Speaker 14
We appreciate it. An echoing lobby where the strangers looked at how she was shouting because she forgot her headphones.
We will get to the useless sound montage in a second.
Speaker 14 When she mentioned Chris Olave, I meant to mention this, I think it was two weeks ago. He had some play where I did not understand how he caught it.
Speaker 14 I did not understand how he stayed upright after he caught it.
Speaker 14 And as soon as he did both of those things, someone came over over and just punched the ball cleanly out of his hands, even though he had made a great athletic play.
Speaker 14 Just somebody wound up and just punched the football directly.
Speaker 16
You saw the league. They're sending memos.
You better not punch the ball fine, but don't go punching players. Nobody's said anything about punching players.
Speaker 25 They're going after the ball.
Speaker 14 You miss, you punch players.
Speaker 17 You just terrible tickets.
Speaker 16 You can't just punch a player.
Speaker 23 After the Lions Chiefs game in which there was actual punches thrown, I think you're misinterpreting that.
Speaker 16 I'm not misinterpreting anything. You can't just throw haymakers at the guy who's carrying the football.
Speaker 15 Who tries to hit the ball?
Speaker 21 Yeah, you can.
Speaker 19 What if I miss it?
Speaker 15 Yo, well,
Speaker 16
you're going to tackle him anyway. What's the matter? Kyron Williams got punched in the face a couple weeks ago.
Costing the game.
Speaker 3 Stop punching people. Stop boxing.
Speaker 2 Critics are calling Marty Supreme a full throttle masterpiece and the best movie of the year. I couldn't be more excited to see this one.
Speaker 11 That's got my boy, Timothy Chalamay, from 824 and starring Timothy Chalamay alongside Powerhouse Cast, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa Azion, and Tyler Ocoma.
Speaker 2 Marty Supreme now playing only in theaters.

Speaker 14 Here's a question. You walked into a stash house and found it full of $20 million.
Speaker 14 How much would you steal? That's the question Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have to answer in Netflix's new movie, The Rip.
Speaker 14 They play a team of Miami cops alongside Tiana Taylor, Stephen Young, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Kyle Chandler, and Sajakaje, all trying to decide, are they the good guys or the bad guys?
Speaker 14
This movie is an edge-of-your-seat thrill ride the entire time, keeping you guessing until the very end. Don't miss the rip.
Only on Netflix on January 16th.
Speaker 10 Don Lebatard.
Speaker 14 He, for some reason, would do a Gary Stevens impersonation of the offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins and the University of Miami.
Speaker 14 Go ahead. Do you want to do that for the people? Your Gary Stevens impersonation? You want to give people some of that? 30 years in the making.
Speaker 3 Stugats.
Speaker 6 What?
Speaker 21 Who needs me?
Speaker 4 Oh, that?
Speaker 6 What? I've done that my whole life.
Speaker 20 You're going to go to Buffalo and win with Bernie Pomerley.
Speaker 21 Who needs me?
Speaker 10 This is the Don Levatar Show with the Stugats.
Speaker 14 Get the useless sound montage here. Get it going so that we could laugh together at how uselessly people analyze the football games on Sunday.
Speaker 27
Everything we said we didn't want to do did occur. I think you did everything to lose the game.
We just have to do what we have to do to go win these games.
Speaker 28 Thank you, Lord, for putting me in that position and choosing me to be, you know, the quarterback of this team.
Speaker 27
We're going to be so excited anytime we win a game. Guys want to do good every time they're out there, right? Tip your hats to New York.
Those guys have found a new juice.
Speaker 27 We lost a game.
Speaker 21 That was upsetting.
Speaker 9 We came in to play to win the game.
Speaker 24 He was cool as a cucumber and went out there and did his job.
Speaker 27 When you win, you can usually coach a little bit harder.
Speaker 29 You guys didn't put off the gas at all when you had this 19-point lead.
Speaker 29 No.
Speaker 26
Take it one game at a time. We celebrate the wins, celebrate the heck out of it just now.
And the resilience of this group, the focus, the toughness to finish when we needed it, guys making plays.
Speaker 21 I mean, I am who I am, and I don't change.
Speaker 7 We're going to find out who and what we're made of.
Speaker 27
It's important we don't let the euphoria of a win like that cloud the things that need to get cleaned up tomorrow. Great fight, grit by our guys.
There's some grit there. They didn't quit.
Speaker 24 Yeah, we won't be defined by this performance, but it certainly was disappointing tonight.
Speaker 27 They're figuring out how to win.
Speaker 28
They're figuring out how to practice. You win a game like that, it's like the best thing ever.
My first time you saw the win in a game like that.
Speaker 9 I thought the guys did a great job of being able to sleep on the plane.
Speaker 21 Two formulas that generally will equal immediate loss.
Speaker 15 I mean, if you can sleep it, I'm happy to do it.
Speaker 27
The only thing we can do is go back to work. Yeah, 60-minute game.
So just like everybody else in there, you know, we got to look inward first. If you're saying it's not me, it's you.
Speaker 27 Me and the boys are over there.
Speaker 28 I see one of them kind of counting. I'm like, you know what? It's probably best we don't do that because a lot of numbers, you're going to have to count.
Speaker 24 But it was funny. We were talking this week about, I was like, it's your revenge week this week because he was in Atlanta.
Speaker 27 And then sure enough, he's like, I'm like, whatever, early in the game, he's like, all right, here we go and I was like revenge week here's what gives me hope as I go through these weeks is man just exactly how they come out on Wednesday in practice and then how they come out on Thursday and practice same with on Friday when tomorrow comes and it's not tomorrow yet plans are plans man our philosophy is always going to be do whatever we got to do to win games every single time we just got to stick together doing right longer and that's that's our definition of finishing we're always truth tellers on Monday it was good he definitely owes me some money he uh fell down on those passes at like the two two-yard line, so he wanted to run them in.
Speaker 9 You know, we talk about practice, performance, equin game, reality. I thought that came to life today.
Speaker 24 We say we want to win games, so we have to do the things necessary to win games. Yeah, no, I definitely, I got your question, and you weren't wrong, so
Speaker 24 I hope we can still be friends.
Speaker 27 We have an NFL opponent and game next week. Just trying to maneuver everything and trying to build a collection of guys to kind of bring along with me.
Speaker 27 And I got to be able to kind of be able to multitask, if that makes sense, be able to do that. And while doing that, kind of
Speaker 27 continue to get
Speaker 27 whatever it was last year and the years prior for myself to get going again.
Speaker 14 If I'm being totally honest, I have not been myself since confusing Ray Bork and Boston Globe columnist Ron Borges.
Speaker 14
But McVay brought me back by complimenting the way his guys were sleeping on the plane. Yes.
Those guys slept on the plane on the way to the Jacksonville game. They did a great job of
Speaker 14 sleeping on the plane. It's not the easiest thing to do.
Speaker 14 You remember when Chip Kelly was going to change the Philadelphia Eagles because he bought him smoothies and heart monitors and he was going to monitor their sleep?
Speaker 14 Sean McVay made sure that his Rams slept correctly.
Speaker 6 Yep.
Speaker 20 Nobody sleeps like the Rams.
Speaker 9 I thought the guys did a great job of being able to sleep on the plane.
Speaker 16 Do you think he walked up and down the aisle?
Speaker 2 It's like, nice.
Speaker 19 They look so good. Who's Who's awake over here?
Speaker 21 That's good sleep. That's right there.
Speaker 2 That's good sleep.
Speaker 17 Who's good?
Speaker 14 Last night,
Speaker 14 Amin was made nostalgic.
Speaker 14 I wonder how old he felt when all of the players playing in the games were interviewed about their memories about the NBA on NBC, and none of them knew anything and laughed in the face of the interviewers, except for Anthony Edwards, who simply said, Michael Jordan.
Speaker 14 That's what I remember from NBA on NBC. They bring Michael Jordan out.
Speaker 14 I seem like I'm the only one that was disappointed by Insights into Excellence just being a one-hour interview with Michael Jordan.
Speaker 16 What were you expecting?
Speaker 14 I was expecting something a little more like Tom Brady if you're going to give him some that kind of money.
Speaker 14 Like, I'm not saying you got to go to production meetings, but you're not going to just do a taped one-hour interview that you're going to splice out over the remainder of the season.
Speaker 14 Zaz, Dan was expecting Michael Jordan to let us know that Tari Eason needs to step it up.
Speaker 14 And also, Kaysen Wallace has been a great piece of energy for the Thunder. They had Carmelo and McGrady to do that.
Speaker 14 Are you comparing Carmelo and McGrady to the greatest player in the history of the game? The man who
Speaker 14 I will attend.
Speaker 5 Did you guys see their tech issues at the start? I'm not going to lie. That made me feel good.
Speaker 14 Ah, not so easy, is it?
Speaker 6 I like to see when big programs...
Speaker 5 Carmelo.
Speaker 4 Tech issues.
Speaker 2 Carmelo, can you put on a shirt and tie?
Speaker 21 Oh, what are you doing? Carmelo.
Speaker 19 Enough with you.
Speaker 14 This isn't a podcast.
Speaker 19
Look at your NPA and NBC. You have a backwards flex film.
That's right.
Speaker 15 Flex film. You know what?
Speaker 16 That is the second
Speaker 15 brought me up.
Speaker 4 A runner-up Heat Championship shirt.
Speaker 16 Okay, first of all, I have a lot of positive feelings about the Miami Heat's 2020 run to the NBA Finals. I know they didn't win.
Speaker 6 Back-to-back days.
Speaker 15 I have the opposite play shirt and a backwards
Speaker 19 flex fit.
Speaker 16 I'm glad you brought this up because I was on the Miami Heat radio, not even television, radio broadcast for 12 years.
Speaker 6 He was wearing a suit.
Speaker 10 I wore a suit every day.
Speaker 15
Look, look. That's not true.
Look at me. Look at me.
Speaker 16
This is how I want to dress. You think I wanted to wear a suit every day, but I wasn't here on TV, but I dress.
I dress for the occasion. Carmelo, it's not a podcast.
Speaker 15 Put on a suit.
Speaker 16 Everyone in there has a colored shirt.
Speaker 20 Two-time champion broadcaster.
Speaker 14 Dan, a lot of people were praising Carmelo for dressing in a way that offended Jonathan Zazzlo, apparently. And to all those people, I'd like to say, you're welcome.
Speaker 14 Let's give credit where credit's due. Pay tribute to the Trailblazers, the icons, the people who blazed the path
Speaker 14 to allow Carmelo Anthony to wear that on an NBA broadcast.
Speaker 17 Who are those people?
Speaker 14 You're looking at them.
Speaker 4 Okay.
Speaker 14 You're taking credit for t-shirt pioneering.
Speaker 25 Not t-shirt.
Speaker 12 Explain yourself, Amy. Not t-shirt.
Speaker 14 When I got there, they were all dressed like they were going to a funeral, hard bottoms and suits and tires. And we weren't talking about sports seriously.
Speaker 14
And I came in with the bomber jackets and the Jordans on. And next thing you know, everyone started wearing sneakers with their suits.
And then they became, oh, we don't have to wear a suit.
Speaker 14 And now everyone's like, oh my God, look at Carmelo Anthony. He's so cool.
Speaker 15 I'm like, I did that 10 years ago.
Speaker 14 And you guys called me crazy. You can't be taking credit for this for taking.
Speaker 10 Dan, he's a trailblazer. You're talking to a trailblazer of television, Dan.
Speaker 6 Pioneer.
Speaker 14 You took the blazer out of Trailbreaks and you brought the sports and sports coat.
Speaker 17 Pioneer.
Speaker 23 I mean, even Michael Jordan dressed up for the occasion.
Speaker 9 And he didn't even leave his living room.
Speaker 23 I did like those shoes. Those shoes were like Vanta white.
Speaker 5 You think when he saw Tarico had white shoes, he's like, no.
Speaker 14
I've got whiter shoes. He went back into his closet and got some shoes to one-up him.
By the way, how great was that story?
Speaker 23 Oh, dude, the story while he's wearing shoes wider than Roussini's teeth.
Speaker 19 But yeah, Dan, did you hear the story?
Speaker 2 Now, you're familiar with the meme, the Michael Jordan meme, F Those Kids?
Speaker 19
Yes. Okay.
Well, apparently, it's a lie. Because he cares about it.
Speaker 14 He stays at a Ryder Cup owner's house, whatever that means. The guy who owns the Ryder Cup is what he said.
Speaker 14 And you say the greatest basketball player ever, and you're right, but the greatest basketball player ever still gets trotted out like a show pony to shoot free throws when you own the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 17 He doesn't own the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 23 It was
Speaker 17 like a house.
Speaker 5 The best part is that he asked him, have you picked up a basketball?
Speaker 1 He goes, not in years.
Speaker 4 And he has one follow-up.
Speaker 20 Really?
Speaker 5 Actually, last month I shot a free throw.
Speaker 5 You said not years. And then 10 seconds later, you're like, actually, last week I shot a free throw.
Speaker 14
Chris, you know what I just heard from you right there? Mike Tarico, journalist. Most podcast hosts are like, okay, let's move right along.
Not Mike Tarico.
Speaker 14
Stayed in it. Hit him with the follow-up, right? Hold him accountable.
Michael Jordan comes back and says, you got me, Mike. Tells the story.
Speaker 14 And then, like, oh, he's got, if you didn't watch, Michael Jordan goes, Let's hear it.
Speaker 17 Let's do it right now.
Speaker 6 We have the sound.
Speaker 17 We have the sound. Okay.
Speaker 30 I haven't picked up a ball in years.
Speaker 31
No, come on. Just like walk past.
There's got to be a hoop somewhere at your place. You don't see a hoop anywhere around here, eh? I don't.
Speaker 31 Seriously, the last time you picked up a basketball and shot it.
Speaker 31 I was at the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 21 A month ago.
Speaker 31 and i rented a house from uh from the owner sure he came over to do pictures
Speaker 30 and grandkids
Speaker 30 and i was meet and greet and thank him for for allowing me to stay in the house and he had a basketball court he says i want you to shoot one free throw
Speaker 15 i said really
Speaker 30 i already paid for the i already paid for the house like that you got to see me
Speaker 30 So when I stepped up to shoot the free throw,
Speaker 30 that's the most nervous I've been in years.
Speaker 15 Stop it.
Speaker 31
In years. Stop it.
Come on.
Speaker 21 And the reason being is
Speaker 30 those kids heard the stories from the parents about what I did
Speaker 30
30 years ago. Right.
So their expectation is 30 years prior, and I haven't touched the basketball.
Speaker 31 I hope you switched it. Absolutely.
Speaker 15 Yeah.
Speaker 5 Are you supposed to believe that he rented that house?
Speaker 11 Come on. Wasn't that funny, Tarico?
Speaker 6 What? Why would you...
Speaker 17 Why wouldn't he have rented the house?
Speaker 20 If you have a chance to have Michael Jordan staying in Europe.
Speaker 4 You don't charge him?
Speaker 6 Is he low on money?
Speaker 19 That's who I would charge the most. Of course you don't charge him.
Speaker 20 He's staying there, Gratis.
Speaker 12
Greg's right, though. That's the thing.
The richer you are, the more famous you are, the more free stuff you get.
Speaker 6 You get, Dan, right? Yes.
Speaker 14 I'll give it to you free if you give me a free throw. If you go out here and shoot a free throw for me.
Speaker 20 Dan, my kids are there. What do you think they're there for? Come on.
Speaker 23 Dan, I googled who owns the Writer Cup.
Speaker 25 It is co-owned.
Speaker 23 50-50 partnership between the PGA of America and Writer Cup Europe.
Speaker 14 Okay, thank you for that. So they don't own the house he was renting.
Speaker 23 The PGA asked him to make a free throw.
Speaker 20 You thought a guy, like one guy, owned the Ryder Cup?
Speaker 14 I thought Michael Jordan lived in such a stratosphere that one guy owned the Ryder Cup and was.
Speaker 17 He was Ryder Cup, like Cooper Cup, like Ryder Cup.
