Summary

Wondering which NFL games are the most consequential in Week 12? Well, so did we. So with the help of the amazing Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated we created a Top Five list. (He also weighs in on the Ja'Marr Chase spit debate. TLDR: Dad of newborns don't flinch.) We also have Mike Ryan Ruiz join in to provide insight into the uniforms of the AFC East. It's a division that's lost its way. There's some Shadeur Sander chat, too. But the spiciest debate happens when we decide who is best Transformer. (Soup says Grimlock. But do The Dinobots count?) This episode of Football America! with Dave Dameshek and the gang is not one to miss. Settle in as they act as a free tour guide for your weekend plans, Football Americans.

0:14.0	Draft Kings, the crown is yours.
0:16.0	We start by honoring the player who wore the episode number best like I say number 27 here's a weird thing fellas

0:35.6	I mean I'm all right I guess I'm giving you the chance to shine I the mud. I mean, all right.
1:14.0	I'm giving you the chance to shine. I'm the one who got dirty. All right, well, let's get a running back to sort of cleanse the palate. Let's do Eddie George, just out the top of my head. For baseball, I'm going Vlad Guerrero. A guy could hit anything out of the park if it was literally in the dirt. Yeah, I will also go baseball. The Fuentes household had a lot of Atlanta Braves baseball when we're growing up, right? Because that's what the local team before the Marlins came around. So Fred McGriff, the crime dog. Crime dog.

1:43.6	over there near Harrisburg, PA.
1:46.0	Mitch and Brandon, lots of thoughts on Mike Flentes' ugly posture, inexplicable almost,
