Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to our spooky humble abode. The Thunderdown on this

0:07.0

feel good. Happy Halloween Friday, October 31st, 2025. This program begins now. Football!

0:14.2

It is magical, and obviously last night, week nine of the NFL season kicked off in a beautiful

0:19.2

fashion with Lamar Jackson going

0:20.9

absolutely apeshit in his return to football this season and also his return back home.

0:26.5

He throws for four touchdowns. Now my name is Peter Neverville, okay and I've been covering

0:30.9

sports longer than you so I know sports longer than you. I am an old sports media man and what

0:34.9

I see from Lamar Jackson is holy shit good. This type of guy has the opportunity to not only be an incredible leader, he should get those ping pong tables and cornhole boards out of our locker room, but also he has the ability to spin that thing. And if you need him run, obviously he's going to be faster than you. So whenever you think about Lamar Jackson, you're talking Mount Rushmore type guy. And if you disagree with me, you're wrong. I don't ever think I've ever heard in an argument against mine that I've ever liked. And that's certainly going to be one that you can classify under. I hate it if you say Lamar Jackson isn't a Mount Rushmore type player. Now, that was on display while the other side of the field was looking like ass cheeks. Okay? And whenever you talk about old ass cheeks of a team you start to talk about teams that

1:12.2

maybe win by 30 against a team and then the next week just a few days later uh get absolutely

1:17.1

decimated now the stats in the first half weren't bad but there was a fourth and two here in

1:20.6

uh clear field goal territory now kickerhead miss the field goal already at that point but fourth and

1:25.1

two let's go to our best play you got it what is What is it? Obviously, fade to the running back. Okay, so that is something that nobody really enjoyed. I think a lot of people potentially turned the game off at this point. Now, the dolphins were moving down the field. They get to that position. They get no points. Is there going to be something that maybe happens with the Miami Dolphins? Yes. Chris Greer, general manager and I believe president of football operations down there. A lot of power

1:48.2

at the Miami Dolphins. He's gone. He's been there since 2016, I do believe. So almost

1:53.5

10 years of service with the Miami Dolphins. And he has since been relieved of his duties

1:58.8

after last evening. Now, I think he should have played a little better last night. Yep. I think he should have done a little bit better. When you think about Chris Greer football, you don't necessarily say, like, hey, the team's going to be what we think. But this guy went all in with Tyreek Hill. Okay, this guy went all in with McDaniel. This guy went all in with Tua. This guy had a lot of

2:19.1

things happen under his leadership, but there was a time where we all thought maybe they were

2:24.4

going to be great. There was a time. They scored 70 against the Denver Broncos defense. There was

2:29.1

a time where McDaniel was super cool. Remember those are good times. Oh yeah. And now last night all we

2:34.5

watched was Steven Ross with binoculars. Okay, looking down and going, what the hell's going on out here? We stink. And then he turned those binoculars right over to the suite next to him where that general manager was. Why is this happening? And then he goes back here and then he goes over here. He goes, we need to get this guy the hell out of here so whenever you think about last night's game it's a team that is not have a

2:54.1

winning season into Baltimore Ravens, potentially turning it around completely and looking like the team that we thought they could be. Defensively getting some stops. Defensively getting some stops. Yeah. Defense making some plays, turnovers. Okay, now we're having a good time. Congratulations to Baltimore Ravens

3:09.5

and to the sports books

3:11.2

who predicted that Lamar Jackson
