Three, two, one. Oh my goodness. Good morning, good afternoon. Whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day. My name is Zach Schamler. This is Strong

Appendix Sports episode 401. Welcome in. A couple changes in the studio to

start the show today to my see if you're watching it's my right if you're watching in

YouTube it's actually my left in real life I got a new shelf it was fairly cheap

it holds my video game consoles it's fantastic I got my Xbox set up, my switch set up, finally, like three months after moving, finally like my video game consoles are set up. That's been really cool. And then also today I'm wearing a shirt with a bunch of tiny tuas all over it. He's got one in his jersey, a couple

of shots of his face. I've never had a good occasion to really wear a tu-a shirt.

Like this shirt I've had actually for like months and it doesn't fit that great I've never been sure when to wear it it's kind of a like can you wear like I guess I could wear this wherever I want really I'm a human I don't know why do I care but

today it felt like the perfect time to finally wear this shirt for the first time and that'll be very self-evident in a moment. NFL Week 7 was a fairly ugly week of football. There is a lot to recap though. We'll talk about the

Bengals, we will talk about Kansas City, all kinds of great stuff in the NFL world. We will end

the show with Ask Zach. Actually that's not true. Ask Zach will be second to last. There's a very healthy amount of

questions there. The very end of the show I'm going to put a topic about

Formula One and it's buried at the end so you can skip it if you want to. I know I'm one of the only Americans who deeply loves F1 and I know that a lot of people don't care about that so it's buried at the end. But I want to start with this today. We need to talk about Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tonga

of Aloa. And look it's very clear I do not keep it a secret. I'm a big fan of

Tua. However, I also know that I've been very, very fair with the way I've covered him.

When he screws up, I call it out.

I'm very, very honest, I try to be as fair as I possibly can.

And despite liking him as a human being, when he struggles on the field, got no problem pointing that out.

And I have been patient, I have taken my time, and I've always tried to cover both sides,

you know, people who support Tua and then also

understanding the people who want Miami to move on from Tua. And when you listen and

you learn and you understand the arguments on both sides.

Doing that has helped me pick aside here.
