This postgame show opens with Thursday Thunder betting picks for the upcoming Sunday night game, then turns to the Cyclones, a highlight team whose disappointing season may end with a sale that Roy Zaslow says he and his partner are excited about. The hosts hand out flowers, including for a Miami Ohio scoreboard that displayed extra field goal posts, and a joker of the day about a driver accused of running over people's feet.
The episode closes with the hosts discussing why there were no polls, with Dan Le Batard taking the blame and Roy Zaslow joking about it.

That's right, that's right. It's Thursday Thunder, as presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours, Juju.
Yes, Sersgeit, Thursday Thunder. We got a good one this week, y'all. First leg: Bengals versus Steelers. The Steelers have started to run that ball a little more, so I'm going with Rico Dowdle for over 7.5 rush attempts this Sunday night. Second leg, that same game. I'm going with Jamar Chase to get over 7.5 receptions this Sunday night from Joe Burrow.
And last leg: Kurt Cobain's is back. That means Justin Jettaz will get at least 5.5 catches this Sunday. Lock it in. This one I feel good about.
Sound like some winners to me. Tyler, I want a game yet this season.
The Cyclones finally won their first match of the fall season this week. Yes, we did. It's a big cause to celebrate. It's been a very disappointing season.
Our head's going to roll.
By any metric. Well, the sport is going to change a lot. So come on out on Friday. It's going to be a little bittersweet because this is our last Friday game of highlight in the fall season. But the sport is going to change a lot going forward. There are big, exciting changes coming to the world of highlight. And I'm sad to say, this probably is going to be our last game as owners of the Cyclones. I think the franchise is going to get sold. And Chris and I are very excited to recoup millions of dollars on our investment.
So be happy for us. Now, I'm hopeful, and there are things cooking up, that some things will allow us to stay with this tremendous sport and our beloved Cyclones. It's exciting. It's a little out of our comfort zone. But more on that as it develops. But please, come on out on Friday to celebrate this incredible five years that we've had with this Cyclones brand and these amazing players. And let's try to end the season playing our best ball and being the hottest team in the leagues and being able to say to other teams, "You're lucky we didn't get in."
Yes, sir, man.
All right. All right. This Friday night, then. Come check the guys out. Juju, any flowers we can give out today? Was anyone good on the show today?
Yes, sir, man. I got some flowers. Everybody was good on the show. But a couple of days ago, the Miami Ohio scoreboard operator, I suppose, have given you some flowers for trying. I don't know if you've seen it, but during the field goal kick, the screen behind them, they put up a bunch of field goal posts.
Yeah, that's bullshit. Like, they deserve to get flagged. I mean, come on.
They got 15 yards to the referee in the most I've never heard this call before. The referee said 15 yards on the scoreboard, brother.
Yeah.
But I'm going to give you flowers because that was a good try.
They put, like, six field goal posts up there behind the actual field goal on the scoreboard. That is confusing.
Yes, sir.
And of course, was it Pablo that uncovered it with Belichick, with the Patriots, right, where they'd been doing it for years?
It wasn't Pablo that uncovered it. I can understand. That's really good for his brand, that any kind of investigative journalism, you're like, "That must have been Pablo."
Pablo figured that out.
No, it was I forget who, though. That's unfortunate. They need to have a podcast and a GQ spread.
Any other flowers?
No more flowers, but I do have a joker of the day.
Oh, all right.
You can't come out talking about people and talking to people in certain ways when you are a hit-and-run artist, sir. Rex Ryan, this joker of the day is for you for running over them people's toes and driving off, stopping to confront them, and then driving off again. That's unacceptable. Lock that brother up.
Yeah, he turned himself in yesterday. He ran over someone's feet that he got into an argument with.
Yeah, they could not help putting feet in that headline. If it were anybody else, they might have omitted that. But they had to put feet in the headline.
So he's in prison now.
Yep.
Down the road.
It's very sad.
We'll never see him again.
Very sad. He spent the rest of his life in the hole.
Yeah. I want to see Ashton Genty's locker room availability. Set ether to it.
All right. That's going to no polls today?
No polls again.
I'm bad at doing polls, man. Like, I got to get better at that. That's on me. I know some people think that, like, that's Roy's fault. It's not your fault, Roy. It's on me.
What? What?
I'm just saying, man. That's on me.
Some people think it.
I heard people say, "Why doesn't Roy do any polls?" Like, it's not on Roy.
I heard you say.
That's on me. I'll take the blame for that. All right.
Bye-bye.
"They had to include feet in the headline."
There's a Thursday Thunder. There are flowers. There are jokers. There are no polls. And, for that, Zaslow falls on the sword.
