I can't believe it took this long to get to Tony's top five. It is an ascending segment on this show that is very popular. Tony joins us now, surrounded by sickness and disease in the other room. Let's get to Tony right now, the top five. How have you gotten a bunch of children to scratch your back? I don't understand what is happening right now.
I didn't ask for any of this, Dano. They're just telling me, Look, you're going to be a dad soon. This is what happens. Kids do weird things. They scratch your back when you don't ask them to.
Let me remind the people that Tony's top five is presented by DoorDash. Get all your game day faves delivered. Head to draffkings. Com/doordash to play for free. Restrictions apply. Voidware prohibited.
We will get to the top five in a second. Chris Cody as the person sitting in the executive producer's seat, do you realize how insane it makes David Samson that Lucy Rodine shows up unannounced, spends three minutes here, says she's got no time to do her job, and then disappears?
Well, she was announced, and You guys just didn't know it. We made her wait, and she had a meeting to get to.
I don't know what to tell you. That is the leadership that we expect around here. Tony, number five, please. Are we starting with five or are we doing Oli before we get to that?
Just five. Just straight five today, Dano.
Number 5, Tony.
Number 5, Ravens. After back-to-back statement wins, they're back on track.
They are on pace to be the best rushing team of all time after a couple of years ago being the best rushing team of all time, they've got an enormous value at running back. I don't understand how Derrick Henry does that at one year, $9 million. Number 4.
Number 4. We talked about it a little earlier today, but the report that things are weird in San Francisco is more difficult than you think, Dan.
What does that even mean?
It's probably the greatest report of all time.
Three players have told Mike Silver that Things are weird in San Francisco.
With no follow-up question. That's it. That was the report. The report are Things are weird in San Francisco. They always have been, if we're being honest.
Tell me like Harvey Milk. How far are you going back?
Fentanyl now, Harvey Milk. It's always- HIPPY movement. Yeah, the whole thing. We could have, at any point in time, we could have gone to San Francisco, talk to Three people, and they would have said, San Francisco is weird right now. Number three.
It sounds like something that I would have made up before the-Nightmare at Altman. Number three. The Browns need to admit defeat. It's over.
Write off the money, donate it to charity.
They need to cut to Sean Watson and keep it moving. He is terrible, Dan. Cut him. Just how it works. Just cut him. Just straight up cut him. Donate the money to charity. I need the headphones, though. Be careful.
I think that Tony is suggesting to actually cut him, like, shive him.
We got a dog in the building now.
Here we go.
Number two, Willis in the mix.
Don't stand on that. Okay. Number two, Jaden Daniels. Welcome to Superstardom, kid.
Yeah, he is amazing. Who was it that said this week that Caleb Williams is going to be better than him? I know that we're going to do this analysis all the time. I know we've already gone back and forth on Tua and Herbert just because they were drafted around each other. But we're not going to close the case on this yet, right? We're not going to say that Caleb Williams will not be better than Jaden Daniels, who's begun his career like no quarterback ever with more than a thousand yards and more than 250 yards rushing. No one's ever done that through five games as a rookie. You guys, Mike, are you ready to close the case on this or not?
No, I think it's so early. I think Jaden Daniels is really good and is very clearly the best of that bunch now. But you're worried about Jaden Daniels' ability to stay healthy given his game. I would say that in recent weeks, he's shown you a lot with his arm. But Caleb Williams came into the league as a can't miss prospect, and you have to let that one play out. Caleb Williams is playing better, too.
Number one, Tony.
Number one, Dan. I don't think we've ever had this happen before, but the MVP has already been won in week five. Congrats to Tua, tongue of I, Loa, for winning the MVP of 2024, because, man, without him, things are looking very bleak. Oh, the dog. Okay.
Yeah. Thank you, Tony.
I think I've outlasted the kids, by the way. They got tired. Look, people started getting tired. They stopped jumping around.
Oh, look, we've got one of the children has learned, just like the producers around here, to love that microphone. Oh, my God. Everyone around here wants to be at a microphone. What Tony mentioned about, too, I don't know if you guys have seen this. Have you seen the Dolphins' point differential? It's the Second, worst in the league. Only Carolina is worse than the Dolphins. The Dolphins are minus 53 after five games. Mike, you never would have been this happy. David's looking at the children the same way that I am. I'm like, Wow, a lot of illness out there. Somebody was licking their tongue. They were touching their fingers with their tongue.
And shoes on the couch.
Yeah.
You seem like you're real fun at parties, David.
But Mike, because he's Daddy now, Mike was just smiling the entire time at children enjoying themselves.
This is so great. I love that dog. Willow. Just any time she's on the screen, I just wish to stay with her. I'm going to go with her.
Okay. Everyone is leaving now. You're trying to good jogging. Yes. Thank you. Good talking to you. You can jump on the couch, too.
All right, Dano, back to you.
Thank you, Tony. I appreciate all the hard work. We will have a skeletal crew today. I saw there were some tornadoes in Broward. I don't know if you guys saw that.
Yeah, right next to the arena.
The bad weather has not yet gotten here, but it is coming. Again, we will ask you, please, anything that you can donate, we appreciate any and all donations that are coming in from all places, including the garbage can that David just fished this out of to help me.
Donate. Wck. Org/lebitard. What a save by Dave. He hated doing that. He hated reaching into a garbage can. That was love and friendship right there. Donate.
