Summary

Football Americans! We’ve so much to get to this episode: Lamar v Allen! The long kicks! Jalen Carter’s spit! The sad, sad Dolphins. And we've got the right father and son duo to tell you all about it with Greg and Chris Cote from the Dan LeBatard show. Plus, we've bring in Geoff Schwartz to explain why he fell asleep and missed what could be the best game of the season. The Super Fuentes Brothers provide knee jerk reactions to Week One from Miami, and Newsman Bradley presents Aaron Rodgers unfiltered from New York. Hyperbolic, sure. Satisfying? Of course. Football is back, America, and here to cover it is Football America! **That said. Before you hit play we gotta protect our guy, Pittsburgh Hero Ryan Clark. A lot of people out there chose to get up on Mount Pious about Clark saying Tom Brady and Drew Brees weren’t generational talents. They aren’t. Neither guy was a measurable physical freak. Y’see the NFL’s got two basic types of QBs. 1. Specimens like Josh Allen, Andrew Luck, Cam Newton, even Jeff George. These guys can evolve into gunslingers like John Elway, Brett Favre and Ben Roethlisberger and take you to the top of Mount Lombardi. 2. Assassins like Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and Joe Montana. They’ve been marginalized with the name ‘game manager’ but they’re calculated and lethally accurate. Big game trophy hunters. That's why I call 'em ASSASSINS. In superhero terms, it’s like Superman v Batman. You'd of course like the measurables of the son of Jor-el over Bruce Wayne, but that doesn’t mean Batman can’t win thanks to being more clever. So, descend Mount Pious and just admit Brady and Brees are the Keaton and Bale Batmans (batmen?) of the NFL. And be good with it. As for serial killers, well... Mike Tomlin can go ahead explain that one. We're stumped. Now, start the show! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

But a lot of people out there chose to get up on Mount Pius about our guy, Ryan Clark, saying

greats and all that.

But that wasn't Ryan's point.

He was complimenting them.

He was saying neither guy was a measurable physical freak. Sheesh, Mount Pius is getting crowded already.

Everybody's so aggrieved on behalf of poor Tom Brady. You see, the NFL's got two basic types of

George. If all goes well, those guys become the league's gunslingers like Elway, Farr,

Rathlisberger, guys more inclined to throw caution and the ball and design play to the

ability to process fast and win pre-snap.

Brady, Breeze, Peyton, Montana.

They've been marginalized largely by the name game manager.
