The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

"If you're a fan of someone, you want to see them take their top off." Dan let us know that he's a big "y' guy, and that sparks JuJu's Top 5 Names In Football That He Can Think of, a take on referees, and an update of the Polls. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"I'm talking about his..." Dan has his own version of a Tony's Top 5 for the NFL Weekend before we get to Amin's Weekend Observations. Or, we at least TRY to get to Amin's Weekend Observations. His internet is awful, just like how Dan would look in Daniel Craig's speedo from James Bond. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Do the right thing!" There's an epidemic of people in sports calling other people a 'ho.' Roy is despondent over a loss from 25 years ago, and it's time to examine how much more credit Mike Ryan deserves than actual Canes players if UM makes the Playoffs. Plus, Zas doesn't understand weather, and Chris implores the ACC commissioner to change the rules for his benefit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

"Please, God in heaven, tell me 'Yes.'" The Lane Kiffin saga might be the most dramatic of his career, and that's saying something. Mike Ryan, a noted Journalist, has compiled the top 5 Best Nuggets of Information from This Coaching Cycle, but we all know Jonathan Zaslow is the real journalist on this show... or at least he was before we revealed his best source.

"The more he talks, the more people like Miami." Dan is furious the Dolphins made do anything other than discuss the Miami Hurricanes with Mike Ryan and where being excluded from the College Football Playoff would rank in the "all-time bulls***" Miami has faced due to the College Football Industrial Complex's bias against them. Jeremy does his best to buck up against them, but somehow that leads to a -- wait, let me check my notes -- no, yeah, a Kevin Spacey comparison. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dave made a list. It's 100 deep and contains the Best Position Group by Franchise in History. Jeremy Taché joins the show to vet this list. Some of the places make sense, like Dodgers starting pitches. But some of Dave's rankings are suspect, like how high on the list the Penguins centers sit. Then we've got the Top Five Games of the Weekend. Playoff berths on the line this week my fellow Americans. Plus, we have Celebrity Chef Capon on the show to give you ideas on what to do with all those leftovers. And then he ranks meats. All of them.

Happy Thanksgiling! Jeremy and Chris set you up for a day of celebration of our friend, Billy Gil, and his best days on the show this year. Yes, we're still grifting off the work of our former employee. Today, it's the origins of the Aspiration-Kawhi Leonard report with Pablo. "This is the quickest it goes! This is the quickest it goes! This is the quickest it goes!" Pablo Torre dropped another Pablo, and while it may be the greatest journalistic effort of his career, a couple of members of the show are (unsurprisingly) not quite as impressed as the rest of the sports world. It's time to get to the voice modulation machine to get the truth about Pablo. Today's cast: Dan, Greg, Chris, Billy, Mike, Roy, Tony, and Zaslow. Learn more about your ad choices.
