Transcript of NFL KICKOFF SHOW: The Season is Now with Dan Hanzus
Glass half full, Bill Belichick - at least now you know she’s not into you for your coaching. Must be your rugged good looks. What we all already knew before last weekend even kicked off - there are only four or maybe five of those teams with an actual chance of winning the national championship. College football’s great.. except for the end part, when the elites head behind the velvet ropes into the vip area and everybody else gets to fight over Poptart and Mayo bowls. What’s the biggest surprise in the last half century in college football? BYU in ’84, Howard Schnellenberger & Bernie Kosar beating Nebraska in the ’84 Orange Bowl. And... that’s it. Compare that with the NFL - where the unimaginable is the norm, and I don’t just mean the Dallas Cowboys trading their best player to their rival since the days of the ice bowl. The Micah Parsons deal wasn’t so much unimaginable as it was un-smart. For all our collective focus on pro football, there are still things that no one sees coming. I was thinking about how often the NFL’s turned me into Vince Lombardi, asking what the hell I’m looking at. The biggest surprises of the last 60 yrs of the super bowl era are that the three best QBs of the super bowl era are a six round draft pick, a 3rd round draft pick from Pennsylvania named Montana, and a QB who was drafted behind Mitchell Trubisky. The O.G. Of improbability is of course the Jets beating the Colts in super bowl 3. Broadway Joe may have shared his bed with half the women of Manhattan, but it was unimaginable anyone from the AFL could get to first base with the Lombardi. To be accurate, the trophy wasn’t named the Lombardi til 1970, after Namath had won it. But then again, if the Cowboys had survived the Ice Bowl in ‘67 then won the second super bowl, that trophy might now be called the Landry. Imagine that. We've got Mike Ryan Ruiz from the Dan LeBatard Show on today along with Dan Hanzus from Heed the Call. Week one picks with the Super Fuentes Bros and news updates about Parson's epidural along with my Fantasy Football League with newsman Bradley. Let it begin! Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys discuss how this will impact the Florida Panthers, the playoffs, and the trade deadline. Plus, Connor McDavid still hasn't signed a contract extension in Edmonton. How concerned should Oilers fans be? In wins and fails, the boys discuss some of the new looks around the NHL and whether or not they are fans.

Transcript of Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show: Episode 12
In this episode of the Oral History of the Dan Le Batard Show, Dan, Stugotz, and Mike explore the COVID era of the show. What began with fear and anxiety as a global pandemic unfolded eventually turned into what the guys consider one of the most creative eras of the show. You'll hear from all three about how the show stayed afloat during an unprecedented time despite early struggles with technology and communication. They also explore how creativity could run free due to the lack of sports and the desire so many creatives had to find a platform to express their voices during the shutdown. That all comes out in this week's supercut, which features some of the funniest bits from this time with the likes of Adam McKay, hilariously troublesome interviews like the show's infamous chat with Action Bronson, and the show's icy relationship with Michael Doleac.
