Discover it all in Nordstrom stores and at nordstrom.com. Start our third and final hour. Welcome back. I'm Jim Rome. This show is brought to you by Fanduel.
My appreciation to Fanduel. I don't care what any of you say. That's a great hit by Silk, and Silk is a legendary and iconic clone who has always been here. Always, when this show was just local in San Diego, Silk Broad was here. Silk would travel the tour stops.
Silk's been here as long as anybody, and certainly been here as long as anybody participating. There's some that kind of lurk and kind of some that lay low, like Pat, the CEO. Hey, Pat, what up, bro? Pat's been here as long as Silk, but Silk participates at a very high level. Pat's here.
I appreciate Pat being around. I'm just saying. You can say what you want about Silk. You can say that he allegedly won a smack off. I've been here for every single smack off.
He actually did win one, and deserved it, and earned it, and there was no conspiracy, and it was not his turn. And that right there, what he just did—that's not easy to do. Ninety-nine point nine percent of you clones cannot do that, and he crushed it. It was awesome. Amber in Portland is in.
Romy, I love how Silk is trying to educate everyone on the history of champagne, as if we didn't know. Hey, Silk, did you know? Regardless of where you are—France, Cali, Italy—moobs are still moobs. War happy anniversary to Jen and Silk Bra. War Lady Clone Bra.
I think he knows. I think he knows. I think. I wonder if in France moobs are known as moobs. I wonder if in France they call them moobs.
There is a term, except it's probably not moob. Linear messengers back. Love seeing Silk Bra on a Friday. Let's just hope that his pre-op to his moob reduction was a success. Ed in San Antonio, Jim, good seeing silk kicking it with a sleeved shirt.
Obviously, they have a no exposed breasts ordinance in Oxnard. Ed in San Antonio, I should have known that it didn't matter what I was going to say. No matter how much credit I gave to him, it would come back to his rack, his moves. His move reduction surgery. All right, so moving to the next topic, the one that you want.
Look, I'm not here to tell you that cheating in golf is anywhere near the offense of driving around intoxicated with an open container in your car.
However, it is the worst crime that you commit can commit against golf. And apparently, Tony Romo committed that crime against golf on the same day that CBS announced that he would not be returning to the network. Man, you talk about a rough day! Check out this headline at Pro Football Talk: Tony Romo was disqualified from a golf tournament on the same day CBS announced his exit from the network. DQ'd from a corn ferry pre qualifier.
How the hell does that happen?
Well, come to find out, Tony did not just put himself down for one incorrect score on one hole. Apparently, he did it on back-to-back holes. He gave himself a pair of fours when he really got a pair of fives, which means his final round score was two strokes lower than it should have been. I will ask again. How the hell does that happen?
Us again in the world of competitive golf, that is bad. Like I said, in golf, the gentleman sport, it is the worst crime of all: cheating. Even Philip Hefty. You want to talk about moves?
Well, depending on when and where, but let's keep it real. At times, if you want to keep it real, Hefty, at times you've had an all time rack, and then at other times, when you were hacking or hocking your coffee, you leaned out. Either way, Hefty running around the Madison Club, special coffee, doing whatever he was allegedly doing, is still not even considered as severe a crime against golf as cheating. This is not my opinion. This is just golf.
This is not me talking. This is golf talking. Hell, Tiger getting chased down his own driveway by his nine iron wielding wife, and then flipping his car multiple times, including that time he got down in victory formation and then called the president. That was all bad. Really, really bad.
But still, not as bad or as severe a crime against golf as cheating is.
Now, I'm not necessarily saying that cheating is what happened in this Romo case. I don't know. I wasn't there. I didn't see it. I'm just going by what's being reported.
But it doesn't sound good, and it doesn't look good. Getting one score wrong for one hole. I mean, all right. I guess that can happen. Sloppy as hell, but it can happen.
But shaving two strokes off your score and doing it on back-to-back holes, yeah, because that's not suss or anything. My man, I thought you were gonna work on yourself. Cheating in golf is not working on yourself.
Meanwhile, the rules expert that called Romo after the round to question him did try to give him an out. It's just that these excuses are not convincing at all. He suggested that Romo, between the slow play warning hanging over the group, his inability to mount any sort of birdie run, and quote, and all that was going on with him, end of quote. Was frustrated with how the day went.
So, which one was it? The slow play warning. His inability to mount a birdie run, all that was going on with him, or his frustration with how the day went—four very different excuses—and if you ask me, none of them are good excuses. None of them actually explain how he put himself down for two pars in a row. There were actually two bogeys in a row.
You don't get to just cheat because of quote all that is. Going on, you don't get to just cheat allegedly because you're frustrated that you're unable to mount a birdie run. You can't just cheat allegedly because of everything else that's going on.
Sounds like whatever Romo said to this guy. He didn't exactly give him a good explanation for how or why this happened.
So essentially, you know what we're talking about here. The conversation between Romo and the rules expert was the golf version of Romo trying to talk his way out of that O.W.I. I wonder if at the end of that conversation with the rules expert, the rules official, if he said, "Did I pass? Did I pass this test? Turn around.
No, I didn't." Nah, you didn't pass this one either, Tone. You didn't pass this one either, bra, bra. Look, I know you're not a rocket scientist. I know you're not going to be the one to split the atom. But we're talking about counting to five here.
Even if he wasn't sober, and I don't know if he was or wasn't, although the internet has decided that he must not have been. Even if he wasn't. He should still be able to count to five, right? And again, I don't know if he was or wasn't. But whether he was or wasn't, shouldn't he be able to count to five?
The internet wants to jump to the conclusion that obviously he was drunk again, and that that's how that happened. I don't know. Drunk people can still count to five. If he was, it's not like they asked him to do the alphabet backwards during a field sobriety test. It's being asked to count forwards to five.
Again, I'm not saying for sure that's what happened here. I'm just saying all these excuses are absurd. The optics are not good. Granted, they're nowhere near as bad as the optics of losing the best job ever because you were swerving around the road, all over the road, trashed with an open container in the car. But still, these optics are not great.
Now, me, because I don't want to look like I'm hating or piling on, I have good news. Here is the good news for Tony: cheating in golf might be the worst crime against golf that you can commit.
However, at least there is no mugger that comes along with that. There is no mugshot attached. Nobody's going to try to force you to walk in a straight line, so you don't need to limber up and get stretched out for this one. Here is the other piece of good news for Tony. Actually, really good news.
It seems like he's going to get to keep a decent chunk of all that CBS dough they had coming to him. According to the athletic, Romo did reach a settlement with CBS, and while we don't know the exact terms, the expectation is that he will likely be paid quote a good portion end quote of the 72 mil that they still owed him.
So in the end, he basically lucks out. He had the best job ever. He blew it. He lost it. But even better than having the best job ever is being paid to do nothing.
That's actually the best job ever. Better than having the best job is having no job and still being paid like you have the best job.
So you can just disappear and go work on yourself. Because I am ready to move on from Tony Romo, he needs to just stop cheating on the golf course, allegedly, and stop driving around wasted with open containers before any of us can move on. My man, do the hard work on yourself. Stop cheating in golf, and then we won't have to talk about any of these things ever again. I don't want to, because the second this dings anybody's radar, my whole platform blows up with Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome.
What's your take on Romo? I don't know why they're coming to me all of a sudden for it, but they are. Tony, help me, help you. Please stop doing these things, so I can stop talking about these things. I don't want to.
It's just the job. And don't cheat in golf. They hate that. They hate that, especially that level of golf, bro. It's even worse on the Corn Ferry Tour.
Come on, man! Twice, back-to-back holes. Yeah, I know, I know. You couldn't get on a birdie run, and it was awfully frustrating out there. And you got a lot going on, and there was a slow play warning.
All four of those things, I know. Bro, you still have to put down five. You still got to put down five, twice. Amber's back. Amber's good at this.
She just is. Quote: This dude is being disqualified at life. Damn, he doesn't have to be. In fact, did you hear Jera? Earlier in the week, Jared took up for him, and Jared was going on and on about, "Man, my man, my man's just getting started.
He's just getting started in life. You ain't seen nothing. My man's got his whole life in front of him. He's just getting started. You ain't seen nothing yet." Said from a guy who's got maybe five months left.
Yeah, I, I don't know. I, he needs to get started. He needs to get started by doing the hard work on himself. There's Amber, and putting down the actual number on the scorecard. Man, come on with that, dude.
Vic and NoCal, Tony Romo, more like Tony Nomo, as in Tony Nomo. Golf for you, Vic. You're trying hard, dude. He can still play golf. I just prefer that he not cheat when he plays and put down the actual number.
Allegedly, dude. And that and that went down the day CBS let him know we're done with you. Another bad day.
Now I'm done. All right. When we come back, I'll be still working his week that was. I'm still working looking for. Telephone calls.
We're taking some. I'm taking at least one phone call. I'm gonna guarantee a phone call next segment because I want to maintain that mo, that telephone mo.
So once again, one question. Why is Old Trapper Beef Jerky so good? Why am I always talking about it? Because it is a family run business, and I've been in a family business. For transparency, I got fired from the family business.
However, it was a good family business, and this right here is a great family business—one that stands by quality and produces the world's finest beef jerky. You don't want to get fooled. There are lots of other brands out there, but none of them are like Old Trapper. All beef jerky is not one and the same. Make sure you choose Old Trapper.
You can actually see all the quality right through their clear view packages. And the reason they're so iconic, they want you to know what you're buying before you buy it. They want you to see what you're buying before you buy it. And then when you break that thing open, you find out every every single bite of Old Trapper is tender and it's never tough because they use just the best ingredients. They don't have to.
They could get cheaper ingredients, but then the product would not be what it is. That is their standard to make the best beef jerky ever, and they have four great flavors. I love them all. If you're new to it, get the four ounce bag and get one of each. Let me know what your favorite one is.
If you know what you like best, get the eighteen ounce bag. Like, for instance, we're going away for the weekend. We have an out of town wedding. We have loaded up on the old Trapper. We already have it.
It's going to be awesome. If you don't see it, ask for Old Trapper by name because no other jerky compares. Old Trapper, what is your beef? You're listening to the Jim Rome Show. This episode is brought to you by Nordstrom.

Let's get you phone calls. We go to. Menifee, California, V in the fee V. What's up, dude? Timothy, what's up, my brother?
First off, great interview with TJ Hawkinson. Love that Jungle Comer for our Vikings five and zero this weekend. Can't wait. And by the way, not not shocking at all that Silk said his wife's paying for everything this weekend, and he'll be in the kitchen. You know, Silk, you don't have to say that.
Thanks for giving us the heads up, though. But Rome, I don't know if you knew this, man. I'm not making this up, okay? I saw a crazy story that's sweeping our nation, and this is a real thing. Sexually transmitted diarrhea.
A news article that America has STDs now that give you diarrhea. And bro, when I saw the article, you know, like any good journal, I saw the headline, didn't read the article at all, and immediately called you.
So apparently now that diarrhea can be transmitted through sex. If you're really horny, be prepared to get really corny. If you're gonna explode from the You might explode from the back too. Thankfully, Jim, you know we have a responsible organization that's getting out in front of this, and that organization is Taco Bell. Taco Bell has already come out and said this.
They know their food causes diarrhea. They know they're a good late night snack. Heck, they know that most of their clients are fat.
So they've come out and said this. If you're gonna dive into the chalupa, do not dive into her fupa. Ah! You don't like that cup. I don't like that cup.
Not a very good cup. Uh, hey V. Hey, Pulitzer Prize winning V. Thank you for being such a great journo and being out in front of that and sharing that with us. Investigate, great investigative work, Jurno V.
Thank you, thank you for seeing that horrific story and running it in here to make us all aware of it. Thanks for that deep dive, V. Sexually transmitted, great equalizer, diarrhea, with V on the byline. V, I would rhetorically ask, how does that work? But I know you have an answer, and I don't want you to call back with the answer.
But as always, V, thanks for making us aware of that. Thanks for putting that in front of us. Thanks for including the newspaper clip or the link. V, and how ironic that that would come from V D in the fee. Sexually transmitted diarrhea.
That's quite a phrase. That's an all-time phrase. Matt V saw that and he's like, "Hell yes!" V lit up. He's like, "Two of my favorite things ever combined. Holy crap!
Not chocolate and peanut butter, but VD and diarrhea. Awesome. Got to get this to Rome. Got to get this to the clones." V is like, oh yeah, this is gonna be one of my greatest run jobs ever, and then I can mix in Taco Bell too because that gives us diarrhea. Damn V, you are something else, man.
V, now you can enjoy your weekend, V. Your work is done here, V. Who the hell you are? He doesn't care. Where do you go?
Where do you go from Menifee? Where do you go next? Where can you possibly go after that? Oh, I know, Hemet. Wait, Menifee is Hemet, is it not?
Hemet's Menifee. There's only one VD though, and he lives in Menifee. Let's go to Hemet. Frank in Hemet. Frank, my brother.
What's up, dude? Homie, the homie. Thank you for taking my call. I'm gonna try to speak slower this time. And listen, I appreciate you, man.
I just wanna I tell you that I'm having the best. NFL season thus far has only been week four, and I want to give a shout out to the organization that made it all possible—the most short-sighted, reactive organization in the NFL, my Miami Dolphins, because we have no expectations anymore. Because we have nothing to look forward to, we are able to enjoy the rest of the NFL. Watching the Cowboys lose in seven seconds, watching the Ravens lose, watching the creep actually try to start playing something—I don't understand, but I'm enjoying it. I'm enjoying.
And everything, even Mike Braverman, Daniel Riccioli. Oh my goodness! Everything has been great thus far. And why? Because the Miami Dolphins suck.
We keep always looking for the the the Cinderella to come over here and save us. We try to freaking cheat. We can't even do that, right? The owner tried to freaking have a meeting with Tom Brady. Who Tom Brady?
Look at you guys! Man, you guys are garbage. I'm out. And then on top of that, we're looking for a coach. We had a coach.
His name was Brian Flores. Every time I look at the Vikings, I'm looking at what the defense we had was supposed to be like. That's because we supposed to have. He was the one. You know what?
Eat it, eat it. Myself, the Miami Dolphins, and every other Miami Dolphins fan. We had what we needed, and we let it go. You know why, Romy? I appreciate you.
That's all I got to say. I'm out. This job, Frank, not easy to follow. Vd in the fee. But as I mentioned, where do you go from Menifee?
Hammett. They're one and the same, aren't they? Yeah. Frank was great. Frank said, "Romy, this time I'm going to try to speak more slowly, so that way I can get it all out." And then he just kept picking up pace, picking up pace, picking up pace, getting faster and faster and faster, and was running downhill.
Good call, though. Good call. Wow, we're two for two.
Well, sort of. I guess. Where to next? Listen, Dolphin fan. He actually had a good message for you.
When you assume that you have no shot and you accept your fate, and your fate being that you're so bad that it's good, you can actually enjoy it. Good mindset, bro. Way to flip that thing on its head. Really well done. There is no hope.
So why not just make light of it, enjoy it? It's funny. It's funny how bad you are. Good job, dude. And not only that, good job following that guy that you had to follow, after he took that airplane right into the side of the mountain and it just crashed in a fiery ball.
Vd. Venereal disease in the fee. Vd stop saying our Vikings. They're not our Vikings. We are not going to five and zero.
You might go to five and zero. Looks like the Chargers. More injuries on the line. They look like they're going to zero and five. Where do I go next?
You know we need ATPs. If you don't mind, ask the pros. Ask any of us anything you want. Alvy will have his week. That was, you know what?
I'm rolling phone calls. I love that we're getting phone calls. Let's go to Lubick, Earl in Lubick. Hey, Earl, what's going on with you? How you doing?
Hi, Mister Rome. You know, I've been going to Texas Tech football games now for over 30 years, and there is one distinctive game. That I remember, and it was a game where Patrick Mahomes was playing quarterback against UT, and UT was picked to win by a lot. Unfortunately, Texas Tech lost that game, but but during that game, which was like fifty to fifty four at the very end, and we should have never even been in it. I was hanging out with some of my friends, and you know, I got friends in friendship.
I'm so happy to hear that conversation with Zach. And I got friends in Chihuahua. I know a legendary coach in the area named Ray Morse and his son Eric Morse. I was hanging out with Aaron Morse during the Texas Tech game, and we all hung out afterwards. Like, is Patrick Mahomes really that good?
We didn't know, and we didn't know to think we like, what is going on with this guy? Is he really that special? What's going to happen? And and we no one expected him to be that great, Romi. We called him a magician.
We couldn't believe what we saw, but we didn't. We never understood what was coming either. And that's what I want you to know: is that this guy's just something special. We didn't expect it. You know, it's interesting.
Nice job. Appreciate you. Actually, when you say nobody expected it, Zach Kitley did. He said so. He called it.
He's on Facebook. It's been documented. He knew. He knew. That's why I asked the question.
We knew that Patrick Mahomes was, obviously, he was a top ten pick. Great things were expected of him. We knew he had arm talent, but did anybody have any idea that he would be one of the goats, one of the all-time greats? And Zach Kittley said, "Yes, I knew. I was in that quarterback room.
I was there. And if you see, whenever the draft comes around, if you see, and you go to Facebook, there is a clip of me saying as much." Zach was cool. Again, Zach's thirty-five. His background is so great. He said, "You can't see it." I knew this about him.
He said, "You can't see it in the interview. You can't see me at this desk, but I'm six seven, so basketball was natural. Basketball was easy, and it was natural that I would be a basketball player.
So I walked on at Abilene Christian, but I always loved football. Football was my first love." And by then we had moved to Lubbock, and my dad was there.
So I got my degree from Lubbock, and then I try to get a job as a volunteer assistant with Cliff Kingsbury, and he was turned down. He said he did not get that initially, but then ended up there, and the two of them hit it off. And then he's in this quarterback room, and he's got Baker Mayfield there, and Davis Webb is there, and of course Patrick Mahomes coming through Texas Tech. I mean, it's just wild. And so Zach's now at FAU, and he says everybody's going, "Yeah, man, this the best it's been since Lane Kiffin." And Zach's like trying to keep this chip on his shoulder, like he doesn't want them saying that, but it's true.
It is the best it's been in a while. He got there. They had won two games the year before. In his first year, they doubled that. He said we expected more, and then in his second year, they've already won as many games as they won all of last year in their first five games.
Obviously, this dude is a rising star. A rising star. You know, it's Friday. I've been rolling telephone calls. If not now, then when?
Why the hell not? Back to the phones. Parody, Larry. Larry has something for all of you. Lawrence, welcome back to the airwaves.
What's going on? Wow, Rome! Another epic call by V in the Men of Flee. I mean, really, he's the new Rex, and I know he's the second place champion.
So, good luck, V. Anyway, there is a tale of two people. One is Jim Rome, who's in the Hall of Fame. The other one is Tony Romo, who's on the wall of shame because Romo got pulled over on the highway after weaving in and out of lanes. Told the cop that he was on his way to Grandpa's.
He should have stayed at home and raising canes. He'd been drinking too much whiskey. Couldn't pass the sobriety test. Should have got on Romy's drunk bus. Instead, he went to jail as Whiskers' guest.
He even said that he was sorry. Was in pain and got sidetracked. CBS said see you later. I wonder if one day they'll take him back. They'll take him back.
You don't like that car. I don't like that car. Not a very good car, Larry. That sucked, even for you. I, I, I thought you had a, I thought you had a Yankee parody.
That, Larry, that that may have been your worst effort ever, and that's saying something for you. Larry, in the very least, after last night, how how could you not play one of the hits and just go with? Hit me with a hit the road, Dak, and don't you come back? Even that would have been a better idea. How do you not play one of the hits after last night, Larry, and instead come with this?
Like I know that you thought, I know that you thought, Larry. Dak, thank you. I know that you thought. I am going to keep it topical. All right, so I I'm gonna keep it topical and react to what Rome just said about Tony Romo, and and that'll be clever, and that'll be edgy.
No, it wasn't. It was just it was horrible, Larry. Man, keep it in the fairway, like Tony's trying. Just play the hits. Even hit the road, Dak.
Woulda worked right there. Your Super Bowl dream is no more, no more, no more, no more. Lost to the pack and say goodbye to Romo, old Rogers, old Rogers. Bro, that woulda been your Let It Be. That woulda been the Jungle Let It Be compared to what you just did.
That was Stairway to Heaven, Baba O'Reilly, and Let It Be all rolled into one. To hit the road, Dak. Compared to what you just did, that would have been you would have been John Lennon. Wow, Larry, Larry, I just did you such a solid by letting you in, and that's how you pay me back with that, bro. No offense, but I'm about to say something offensive.
That was horrible, man. That was ass. That was worse than what I saw on the field last time from the Cowboys. Should've just gone with hit the road, Dak. It would've worked.
Well, it wouldn't have worked, but it would've been better than what you just did. Larry, why am I always so angry after I put you on the air? I was in a good place, a good headspace, rolling telephone calls, just banging right through them. All right, I tried, Larry. Don't don't say that I didn't try to throw you a bone.
Hey, chat, I let your hero on, and look what happened. All right, when we come back, how about ATPs? Alvy will have the week that was. We're not done yet. We're not done yet.
I'm not ending on that horrible note. And no, sir, we're coming right back. Stay tuned. You're listening to the Jim Rome Show. This episode is brought to you by Nordstrom.

Jamie Green Bay quote: Why did you let on? Great ATP. I'm asking myself the exact same question, Jamie. Great point. Yeah, super chat right here.
ATP, Mr. Rome, do you still smoke cigars? If you do, may I get a few good cigars to look into trying? Thanks, Shelton from KC. You know what?
Not often, Shelton. Once, twice a year, and I honestly, I don't have recommendations. I'm not that knowledgeable, or I would help you out. Once, twice a year. All right.
Something I want to acknowledge. I want to acknowledge the passing of an absolute legend and an icon. Mike Ditka sadly passed at age 86, but what incredible life he had! Incredible life both on and off the field, and he's been eulogized and praised all day long. He he was an all time great, great player, great coach, great broadcaster, great personality, great entrepreneur.
I mean, larger than life, really one of the all time greats. And before I get to Abby's week, there was just a couple of thoughts, couple of things. A couple of memories of Mike Ditka. How about one of the all-time media rants back in the day? Check out Mike Ditka with this media scrum.
Matter which one runs, there'll be a quarterback that'll be named next week. That'll be the starter. There's three quarterbacks on this football team. Whichever one starts starts. Whichever ones don't will back him up.
Period. Cut and dried. It's nobody's concern but ours. Nobody's.
Next. Injuries from the game. Talk to the trainer.
Next, Mike. Why are you in such a bad mood? What do you care? Right.
Okay. If you were two and seven, you'd be in a bad mood too. What next, Mike? It's just more like a training camp type practice as opposed to a regular season. Yes.
Next. Not very much fun, is it? No. No. All right.
I'll see you guys. Damn. See y'all later. What? Why are you?
He just walked it right off. If you're watching on the stream, why in such a bad mood? What do you care? You would be two of you at two and seven.
Next. All right, that was Mike Ditka. That was an all-time media rant.
Now, don't forget, he was an all-time player, the first tight end ever to go into the Hall of Fame. If you're watching on the stream, watch this. This is incredible. Just trucking, dudes, smoking fools. Desperately need a score now.
Billy Wade arcs the pass to Mike Ditka, and watch this now. Mike takes off on perhaps the most spectacular play of the year. Ditka smacks into a host of dark jerseys, only to be pulled away by a maze of tacklers. How pissed was he that he got run down from behind? He looks exhausted though.
After smoking fools, he trucked a couple of dudes. All right, then there was the time a radio caller. To it to his show, presumably. Either he was a guest, or it was his own show. Trying to talk some junk to Mike, and Mike said, "Hey, man, meet me in Temecula." Why did it appear that Mike was holding back, trying not to cry like a baby that he is?
Well, now I tell you what you are. I can't say on the air, but I tell you what, I'm 53 years old. And I, I, I, my office is 250 North Washington. Anytime you want to meet me there, you call me back on the air. You tell me what time and when, and I'll whip your ass.
You got that, big boy? It's easy to hide behind a microclone, son. Let's get your face out in public, and let's live where people have to see you every day, and we'll see who the gutless wonder is. That is incredible. Got that, big boy?
Here is where I work. You let me know when you can be there, and we'll we'll talk about this face to face. Alby, roll it. Hey, what's crackin'? Welcome to the jungle.
My name is Jim Rome. An awesome Monday to you. Hope you had a great weekend. Nice to have you here.
Now you know I don't want to start the week on negative note because while you can't make your season in week four, you can definitely break your season. Which brings me to incredibly the Texans and the Chargers. You have to be an iPhone. You have to upgrade every year. Ryan Day.
Way to relate to your players with some phone analogy. The Texans. Secondary was torched so badly yesterday, it looked like the Lions' secondary. He is Albert Breer. I just caution everybody with this.
When I talk to NFL people, the way they talk about Justin Herbert reminds me a lot of the way that people spoke about Matthew Stafford when he was in Detroit, if he were ever to become available by trade. That's unbelievable. Line of teams out the door. Nick Sirianni. Nick, I'm sorry, Nick Sirianni gotta go.
Nicky and Nick is cute. He. Is that all still cute? They're two and two right now. They could be sitting in the same.
With the Chargers in Texas, what's happening at halftime? Eating meatball subs, trying to restore order in me time. Trey McBride still pleading his case. F you, F you! About time!
It's not about you, ref show. And in chat, bench the seaman. Bench the salt. And of course, it had to be somebody named Seaman. Of course.
Thanks for nothing. I got no problem doing F you. We all grown ass men. Let's keep it moving. What a crowd!
I don't know what's more spectacular, the catch or the name. After chism, not to disrespect. Probably won't hear from him again. Here comes the disrespect. Man do better than us.
We got players. Not for any bulletin board material. They barely scored. They struggled all game. Here comes some bulletin board material.
Practice squad play made a hell of a play. First carrying, and there he goes. We're gonna make him work for it. Nice start, Saints. That was incomplete.
Record scratch on your big night or anything. Rise up, Alanda. Brett Hunley. Into hunting, doing outdoor stuff, going fishing. Dude, how'd it go?
I did it all. I snowmobiled. I was probably the only black person in the pier running around drinking my heart's content of spotted cow. And no, it hit one of the rings. It's playable here.
It's a live show. Casey joining us. You know what I love? They're like, okay, if it hits catwalk A and B, it comes down. And if it's C, then it's a homer.
What are we doing? Instead of cockfighting across America Foundation chat, across America Foundation keeping. Degenerate adults off the street by putting them into Jungle Chat. That's not helping. It's not helping adults roam.
Yes, it is. Why? Why? You know what I could do? Why?
Why? I could string together the worst things I've ever seen. You'd be part of it. Why? Why?
Five worst take ever. Bacon, Gail, and the horse in a three-box. Gail. Gail, is that like a mercy contribution? Gail, you do know you are who you.
Would I even be here without 12 wood? Tommy, for instance, is not living in California. He's still back in New York, miserable. Who do you think's been feeding Alvy's kids all these years? Not me, Woodscoops.
Carly, Carly, you do know this is my sideline, right? Beat it! I, you know who the hell I am? I'm Shane Stakely. See after the game, all right?
Why don't you go look at your old man's guitar collection? I'm on my sideline. You know who the hell I am? Shane Bleeping Steichen. You know I'm talking about Tori Lavello.
Um, you remember the movie Any Given Sunday with Al Pacino? It actually It was the worst movie ever. But go ahead. That scene inside of that clubhouse—we've adopted it. The reason I hate that movie is because they clown me in that movie.
Yes.
All right, I'm off of that movie. Can you hear me? Did you call that movie? Yeah, I'm just wondering why did you call that movie? It's not too late, Moose.
Can you hear me? Here in Cogney, where you say, "Can you hear my phones right now, clones?" You can't because it's silent. That's what's happening today in Padres fan land. Hey, Padres fans! I'm going against Josh Allen, Jim.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna lay the points. You are not. It's very hard for East Coast teams to go across the country. And there's a hook, and I'm laying them all. I'm going Rams.
It's okay to complain, Kyle. Losers on social media and in the media that had a problem with Mason Miller taking a day off and be with his wife while they gave birth to a child. Did I hear the big stupid say Leonard or Mr. World being the best to ever do it? The Bills play like Matadors.
Olay, Olay. Do you know where pirates keep their Buccaneers? Did they're f**ing hat? But I promise you, bro, you ain't never gonna see my big six foot one ass sleeping on a five foot sofa with my feet hanging off the armrests. Hate it that it's even being talked about.
To be honest with you, five like the thousands of dollars sprinkles in Wichita paid for his cornstalk hut, Wichita home. If it's from France in the Champagne region, it's Champagne. If it's from California, it's sparkling wine. This is actual Champagne. You're gonna dive into the chalupa.
Do not dive into her fupa. Bench the salt. Do it again. You probably won't make it again. She ain't gotta give me no cookies.
Love Sunday. Get in the gap, Sal. Goddamn McMurdo, worst handle ever. Rounds going down, and we're tougher. And we dinosaurs.
Appreciate you having me. I've always been a big fan of yours, and and go Al's. Good stuff. Good night now. Nice job, Alvy.
