Mina Kimes on the idea of the NFL trying to move on from talking about Deshaun Watson's past. Quote, the problem isn't that they're moving past it, it's that they're trying to rehabilitate it. It would be better for everyone if people who don't want to engage with the facts just talked about the play on the field and left it at that. Watson basically bailed out sports media a couple of years ago by being bad. He was always going to be redeemed with a bit of success. This is who we are, end quote. Jeremy's been dying to talk baseball. He says he's got some baseball stats. The only way I think I can run off the audience more with baseball and Jeremy is to throw some math at it as well. So let's play the long version of the Stat of the Day music, please.

Stat of the Day, Stat of the Day, it is the Stat of the Day. Stat of the Day, Stat of the Day, it is the Stat of the Day. Stat of the Day, Stat of the Day, It is the start of the day, start of the day, start of the day. It is the start of the day.

Day, day, day, day.

Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming.

Let's go, Uncle Luke, blow the Miami bass in their face.

Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming. It is the start of the day.

Hey people, listen up players.

Get it, get it.

It is time to go on a journey. I will take a flamethrower to this place. Is it just me, or is it a little warm in here? Flaming noodle fire! Flaming noodle fire! Flaming noodle fire! So loud, so wrong! Flaming noodle fire! Flaming noodle fire! Flaming noodle fire!

Start the beat, babe!

Maya like bomb that don't. Maya like bomb that don't. Maya like bomb that don't. Point nom nom, unless you got bonjour.

Give it to me again.

Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming, Poppy's coming.

Woo!

So loud.

Woo! Ha ha ha! The drums. Woo! Ha ha ha! It's the stat of the day.

They can kiss my old cue Star of the day, star of the day, it is here, star of the day. Star of the day, star of the day, it is here, star of the day. Star of the day, star of the day, it is here, star of the day. Star of the day, star of the day, it is here, star of the day.

Yo, who did this and who did that? Lay up way up before they block that. That boy hot, he on fire. He on fire. Talking back to back and stats don't lie. You gotta have these skills, you can't fake this up. It's going in the record books, you can't make this up. Man down, timeout, somebody break this up. Kick him out, double tech, show if he act up. Oh boy, my boy, it just got real. What you think this is? Oh, you gonna take this L for real.

Hey yo, Method Man one time for you. Yeah, it's the stat of the day. Yep, the stat of the day. This ain't a Stephen King novel, so don't get carried away. I borrowed the line from Poppy while I was passing to Jay. Man, what happened to Gase? It's the stat of the day. Yep, the stat of the day. Long as the numbers don't lie, that's all that matters today. Shout to Poppy, 'cause he probably was a Mac in his day. Am I gay? Well, Dolphin must have been the catch of the day.

Who got the stat? Who got the stat? Who got the stat? Stat of the day!

Who got the stats? Stat of the day, right off the bat, it's off the map. Digging down in the almanac, who got the stats?

Give it to us, just drop the facts, all of that.

Running numbers, now I want the stats.

Ain't no time for arguments, yo, let me see them facts. Yo, don't you bother talking shit, I ain't got time for that.

Before you claim a single thing, you better run it back.

Ain't no racking up no W's until I see them stats.

Who got the stat? Who got the stat? Who got the stat?

Stat of the day! Stat of the day!

It's the stat of the day! It's the stat of the day! It's the stat of the day! It's the stat of the day! It's the stat of the day! It's the stat of the day! It's the stat of the day. It's the stat of the day. It's the stat of the day. It's the stat of the day. It's the stat of the day. It's the stat of the day. It's the stat of the day.

It's the stat of the day. I wanted to sing a little song to introduce this segment, a tradition like no other. Is this a little much? No, no, no. It's time for the long version of the stat of the day. So guys, we'll read us the stat of the day. The long version of the stat of the day. Oh, can't make it stop. It just goes on. It's, it's the stat of the day. Stat of the day.

Matt Hasselbeck was struck by lightning. Twice.

Sugar Ray Robinson's son is in the Hall of Fame.

For roller derby.

What?

1.25 billion chicken wings get eaten on every Super Bowl Sunday. That's 625 million wingless chickens. In 1943, the Steelers and the Eagles lost so many players to service in World War II that the teams combined and they called it the Steagles.

Sad of the day, sad of the day, sad of the day. I can't believe Dan thought Josh Allen would never be a good quarterback.

Michael Phelps hit the longest golf putt ever made on camera at 159 feet. Mmm, that's deep. The Harlem Globetrotters were originally from Chicago and known as the Savoy Big Five. And that ain't no jive. Joe Theismann's last name is actually pronounced Theesmann, but a marketing guy at Notre Dame got him to change it to Theismann, so Theismann rhymes with Heisman. Theismann, Heisman. Joe came in second that year to Jim Plunkett. Man, that don't even rhyme. Who woulda thunk it?

Stat of the day. Stat of the day. Stat of the day. I can't believe Dan Fox thought Johnny Manziel would be a good quarterback.

Running backs don't matter. Sacks are not a QB stat. Magnus effect. Draft capital. True shooting percentage. Halfway through the range. What's a Pythagorean expectation? Spin efficiency. YAC like Kittle? Nobody's got YAC like Kittle, man. Kittle's got crazy YAC.

Regress to the mean. Regress to the mean. Yeah, that's the stat of the day.

Oh my God.

Oh my God, look who is here, our original G! Hit them with something sexy, Kenny G!

Oh my God!

Stats.

Facts.

Of the day. Of life.

Sex.

At-bats.

At-bats. War.

Wins above replacement.

What's he even good for? Points per game.

PPG.

Touchdowns in a season.

TDE.

Pass rush win rate.

Huh?

Is there even a reason for this?

Bop and babip. Regression to the mean. Strikes and blocks and carries. Who's your MVP? How many times have they done it? How many years has it been? How many ways has it been done to go down in history? Stat of the day, stat of the day. Points per game. Stat of the day, stat of the day. Healing eccentricity, yeah. Oh, oh, oh, yeah. Set up the day. True shooting percentages. Set up the day.

Ooh.

Set up the day. Box plus minus, box plus minus. Set up the day. Set up the day. Hey, we did fall. Somebody's good to us now. Let's go, let's go. Stand up the day, stand up the day.

Jeremy. Only other guy to do what Jackson Chirio just did off the league leader in saves was Kirk Gibson. Football America's next.

Buh-bye.
