Hi and hello, my fellow football Americans. We got Jessica Smetana coming up to get us right on college football and a little bit of pro action.

Gerald McCoy is going to break down the biggest games of week 11. We might talk some superheroes too.

We have it a moment away. Start the show.

Welcome to Football America. Episode number 25, we're presented as ever by our pals at Draft Kings. Draft Kings, the crown is yours, and I was not jiving. We have not a second to waste,

but we do have to settle our usual hash here. The player who wore the episode number best number 25 is it. Hello, Mike and Gino, Gino on Mike Fuentes, and who you got? Who's the best number 25 ever? Then let's go Jamal Charles, the all-time leader in Yards per carry. Great fantasy. Love him. Underappreciated at least. Yeah, Mike. Mine is Super Bowl champion, and I believe one of the most handsome men to ever carry in American football, that would be Reggie Bush. Yes, beautiful man. A handsome devil, and another Super Bowl MVP is Fred Bolitnikov, even though he didn't deserve it. Clarence Davis should have been the MVP of Super Bowl 11. Shady McCoy wore it. like you say, Akeeb Talib, I guess the best is probably

Barry Bonds in all of sport. But let's go with, uh, let's go with yours there, Mike. I think we should honor

Reggie Bush. Actually, him and Jamal Charles, because I feel like they're both vaguely underappreciated.

All right. So we've got that settled. Now let's cover all things

upcoming football weekend. And we'll start it off with our old pal, Jessica Smetana.

All right, everybody in the Lebitard universe knows who this is. She is the podcast husband

of our own Mike Fuentes on Mystery Crate. Of course, she is married up with.

Well, wait, you can't, we're not in Utah. So this guy, Mike Golick, Jr. can't be her

podcast husband. I don't think. But they, they, brother. Okay, good. Yes. Brothers in,

Irishdom on the Echoes, a great podcast. It's so good that Mayor Pete Buttigieg was just on there in advance of the Pitt Notre Dame game. She and I park our cars in the same garage on pro football. But right now, as we sit here, we are arch rivals as her team pays a visit to the banks of the three rivers.

It's Jessica Smetana. How are you, sister? How you've been?

Hang on. The last time I talked to you was before the Indiana Notre Dame playoff game when we

were arch rivals. How can we be arch rivals again before this Pitt Notre Dame game?

All right. We'll get into that. But I did see you, I think it was Sunday

night, somewhere early on during Sunday night football, in fact. And as I mentioned, we both root for

the Pittsburgh Steelers. And it was a humiliation once again, not unlike it was on the last Sunday

night football game in front of the national audience against Jordan Love and the Packers.

I noticed that you tweeted or posted or whatever something along the lines of why is this man the quarterback of my favorite team?
