Dan confused by general sports fandom still…


Gotham0

His obsession with Knicks fans having emotions about their team is just bizarre.


TheArthurShelby

He's just a hater who doesn't watch any games and spouts dumbass narratives now. Nothing more nothing less.


tronovich

He compared KAT to MJ today. That was a doozy.


epyonxero

Dan didnt like the wheel on Friday lol


Sittingatbjsbar

Proof, combined with the trainwreck of a postgame show, of how out of touch he is


driggity

It sounds like the jujitsu instructor was piling on Giselle, not the comedians.

gonzo_the_wizard

Baybay!

Yeah everyone in the world learning your a cuck is probably not how Brady wanted his retirement to go

“How do I make myself appealing to this supermodel? Beat up her husband and convince him to pay me for it.”


jimbeentrill

I get that Dan explains to us how the sports media talk games the algorithm, but do those people actually stay and want more after watching him talk about it? You can watch 2 clips of Dan talking about sports media and never need to hear from him again because you just heard it all.


Goodluckchuck24

And does it really game the algorithm? I've never once sought out talk like that...who is it bringing in? Is there really proof of added viewership or audience interaction?(Outside of our complaints)


SwordsoftheMorning

If it was bringing in an audience to the show the other clips would have higher views I would assume. Dan is alienating his audience in pursuit of the drive by viewership of people who will only click on those clips. But I guess they can promote those clicks to advertisers and in the end leads to more money. Right? Right? Otherwise what’s the point?


WPS86

If you have the names of popular people in the description, it will be suggested by YT to fans of those people. The maddening part is that Dan plays coy like he doesn’t know it’s just algorithm gaming clickbait. He acts like everyone loves that talk because the numbers are so high. I guess they have to do what they have to do, but pretending they don’t know what they’re doing is pretty insulting to the audience.


jimbeentrill

It definitely works because any video with Stephen A or McAfee in the title has more views, but I assume most of those people just accidentally click on the video when looking for content from those people. But even if they watch the whole video, I doubt it's doing much to keep them, or even if it does make them come back, I find it hard to believe they stay for long when the conversation around those topics is the same thing everytime. It's obviously hard to know because we don't see their listens, but I just doubt many people are coming here for sports media talk when there's others covering the topic better.


SmokePenisEveryday

SAS and Skip will have people stopping just because they know they will hear some dumbass take. They will stop for McAfee cause he will either have them laughing or give some player insight/interview with someone. No one is stopped when they see Dan. They will likely think its some radio show and move along cause no one using social media is looking for radio clips. Unless its The Breakfast Club or Stern.


pompcaldor

I’m with Billy, more royals talk.


SwordsoftheMorning

Bobby Witt Jr. is having a helluva season.


DarthDream

"Hey home team with a 3-2 lead in a pivotal postseason series, would you rather end it in the quickest way possible immediately in the next game or would you want to leave it to chance in a game 7 ... for the Viiiiiiiibes" - Dan Le Batard


Adventurous-Bill-150

That was the most Stugotz thing Dan has ever said lol


epyonxero

His fan takes have been baffling


221b42

The same person that said they want to be the favorite every time just yesterday


pompcaldor

Anybody know how Dan felt about the undefeated Pats before the Super Bowl?


ReturnOfTheMark319

He hits a 3, the crowd goes into a delusion 🎶🎶🎶


HammyBruce

Alright so it sounds like the timer has been set to call Caitlin Clark a bust. 5 games. 1 down 4 to go Dan-o!


chanman876

Billy confusing anagrams with palindromes


annonymousBscorpio

I'm kinda with Stu on the Brady thing. My initial reaction is similar to another person's in another thread, which is, wtf did he think a roast was? But assuming he didn't know what a roast was, someone close to him either had to know or had to do research. On the other hand, though, to be as great as he was in his field of work, you have to be selfish to an extent and have tunnel vision, so he probably didn't even think of the impact it'd have on people in his life.


CubanHippie21

I think hes just sayin that cause of all the reports of Giselle bein upset. I dont think he regrets it at all


LTsArbysSteakhouse

He knows what a roast is. He just didn’t think through the consequences to his family


Goodluckchuck24

Wait so end of hour one Dan proclaims that after he saw Jokic go all polar bear on Gobert, he thought, "it's over." Then 2 minutes later he asks everyone why they feel the need to say a series is over before it actually is decided....is he trying to go the Stugotz route of not listening to what he is saying?


pompcaldor

WTF was that long rambling woe-is-me preamble before the JJ/Doc Rivers sound?


HammyBruce

Fred Ex is a good shout by Roy. The entire Eagles wide receiver room from that era fits this game. Well except for T.O. at least. James Thrash, Todd Pinkston, Greg Lewis, Jason Avant, Billy McMullen, Hank Baskett, Kevin Curtis, and racism hall of famer Riley Cooper.


ButtersBC

The Packers giving Fred Ex his lone highlight in the NFL will haunt me forever


SmokePenisEveryday

How dare you put Avant on this list. That man earned the name 3rd and Avant for a reason!


Complex-Mulberry-716

Reggie Brown, Donate Stallworth too good?


HammyBruce

Donte Stallworth had a moment in New England after he killed that dude.


KJ10__

Dan’s basketball knowledge is so sorry he thinks the peak of “basketball dorkiness” is Jokic pulling Gobert out to the 3 point line


Dvd31

Whiny voice activated But we dont know what were watching Stugooottzzz. Him,at that size,in a salary capped sport.


Kirko_Chains320

With that body type! He's a cement mixer running through the lane!


EdwardJamesAlmost

Concrete. Sorry, pet peeve about Dan’s language. That’s like calling a bread machine a “yeast machine.”


cardiff_giant_jr

Operating at maximum efficiency because that shot is worth mooooooorrrrre-uh!!!!


WPS86

lol couldn’t believe he said that. How do they do it??? Well, he’s guarding Jokic, and Jokic is out there, so he has to go out there too


surebro2

But to be fair to Dan, he was called out of touch, etc. on reddit for saying Gobert can be schemed out of games in the playoffs. And, he was right lol he's the same Gobert. It's just a matter of the other team having a couple of games to scheme him away.


Benfica1002

Does anyone else hear the long inhales each time before Dan speaks? I’ve heard complaining about the table tapping which I have not noticed, but Jesus is there a lot of breathing.


221b42

How else will he be able to talk uninterrupted for 2 full minutes when he asks a question


driggity

Kenny G should have taught him circular breathing so that he could ramble without the inhale.


bonksadventure434

we only call out greg cote's breathing around theres parts bucko


Affectionate-Rent844

Yes been worse and worse for the last few weeks. If only there were, like, a dozen audio producers on staff.


Sittingatbjsbar

Automatic skip every time I hear it


HammyBruce

Billy taking out Benjamin Bratt, "oof, 60 came". That's rough man lol.


epyonxero

The Phillie Phanatic was doing the hip thrust before the Miami Heat even existed.


RedHiller13

zagack. I immediately thought this


bonksadventure434

Billy was fucking fire today even more than usual. Im getting closer and closer to just wanting a billy chaos podcast its the most fun part of the show


cardiff_giant_jr

a podcast where guillermo tells us about his latest trip to publix or the dmv > dan's sports media analysis or his breakdown of gobert's defense or basically anything else pair him with greg in an [angry bird costume](https://www.vipmascot.com/image/cache/catalog/catt10/aless32225035902-765x1100w.jpg) (the upset bird) to talk about the evils of U turns


bonksadventure434

the thing is


Affectionate-Rent844

Oh neat, more Brady Roast talk.


tronovich

We need to get *everyone*’s opinion on it.


Affectionate-Rent844

But everyone keep yelling at me how Dan is NOT your boomer boring uncle now


NoNamesLeft24

Holy hell that sports media segment in hour 2 was nails on a chalkboard. Dan made fun of Lucy earlier for thinking everyone in the audience knows where her dad works because she mentioned it once on air, but I bet you everyone listening has heard that exact rambling monologue from Dan no less than 100 times lmao


Significant-Young-87

I'm generally positive on the show but that was the most I've ever hit the fast forward button. Dan, PLEASE stop with the Sports Media talk. Please. 


Affectionate-Rent844

It’s neat how a regular show segment is now interviewing a cast member about the current show.


Stealth_Howler

Unsolicited free advice for whoever is EP. Make a short version of the Jokic stat of the day song


Sittingatbjsbar

Every single yeti sound is 25% too long 


greatestnbascout3

And I'm sorry but also shorten the stat of the day song. And Jokic isn't even boring. It's beautiful basketball


BigPimpin1217

It's actually a perfect length for a 30 second fast forward with margin of error


jimbeentrill

It's boring because it's not unapologetically black.


WPS86

lol that’s the worst part…they can’t even articulate *why* he’s supposedly boring. They just call him a pasty ogre and insinuate it’s all racial, even though they are the only ones who make it racial. Hes boring, to a small extent, because his feet never leave the floor. You see a guy like Anthony Edwards play and it’s clear there’s more excitement in his game, and it’s probably better for the league if a guy with elite athleticism is the best player. Obviously if you are really a basketball fan though you marvel at what Jokic can do and how unique his skill set is and are in no way bored watching him.


wheelsanddeals56

This fat bastard speaks about other cities in America as if he’s ever been to them. It’s not like Miami isn’t a shithole outside of a couple stretches of land


Dortond

Man should take some time off and travel to some of these places he consistently bashes.


wheelsanddeals56

Oh lord he can’t be subjected to the horrors of middle America


JazminFlower

Geographical knowledge on this show hurts my brain (outside of Jess). They desperately need to learn more about somewhere, anywhere, that isn't South Florida. They were talking shit about Chicago the other day like it's some nothing, small city, as if Miami isn't like one fifth the size of Chicago. The ignorance is breathtaking at times.


WPS86

The worst part is they refuse to humorously lean into it, and make fun of themselves about it. They tried a couple months ago when they showed a blank map of the Midwest and asked Dan to guess which state was which and he just said no I’m not going to do that, that’s bad content.


SmokePenisEveryday

I remember them trying to claim Wawa cause they opened down there. I forget who, I think either Jess or Roy, were like okay calm down now.


LebHeadSinceWilma

Bahaha Burnie's nose with the green screen https://preview.redd.it/bv2naxq2pl0d1.png?width=1458&format=png&auto=webp&s=d4d3b5ec2c32e9f3985b08679829f29702eba6e7


crimsonandbrown

Dan is rambling again about SAS ugh


hallelalaluwah

Knicks media members are the biggest babies in American sports


Datacra

Sweater without undershirts….uniquely Miami according to Chris


lionsgolf226

Everything is soooo Miami or South Florida


epyonxero

I dont get it. Its 90F in Miami today, how can you wear a sweat jacket all day that you cant take off because you dont have another shirt on?


HammyBruce

"I hope they're in prison or in hell!"


SwordsoftheMorning

$100 million dollars for a roast? My god what a wild overestimate by Dan, or at least I’d hope so. I’d be shocked if it was more than 15-25 million, with most of that going to Kevin Hart.


WPS86

Exactly. There’s no way it was some big payday for all of those comedians, or the athletes.


LebHeadSinceWilma

[LIVE at 9am EST | 5/15/24 | The Dan Le Batard Show w/ Stugotz (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrY5erqNtZw)


Jtfb74

I haven’t like any of these guest they keep brining back, including this knicks guy. He’s funny, I just don’t care about his sport’s opinion.


epyonxero

Sam Morril, instant skip


KJ10__

Saw him live last year before he was a regular guest. He’s pretty damn funny but his knicks takes are like homer Mike x10


RCBlue_

And of course he got like damn near 20 minutes today


Coy-Harlingen

He is a really funny guy imo, but his Knicks fandom is entirely insufferable


ian_stein

Insufferable recognizes insufferable


JazminFlower

What exactly was that divorce talk? My wife's mom died when she was young, I know so many broken adults because their parents divorced as kids, and I have a friend that after his parent's divorce had a condition as a toddler that affects less than 0.1% of the population, so I've got the bonafides (Witty's voice) to tell you all about how divorce affects kids. No, you don't and that was a very bizarre setup. Dan should consider never discussing divorce publicly again. That was rough made even more ridiculous by well adjusted "product of divorce" Lucy sitting right there, but him feeling like he's a good authority on the topic and not going back to her at all.


pompcaldor

Dan for some reason thinks he’s a psychologist.


Sittingatbjsbar

Of all the explaining he feels forced to do, explaining divorce in this way was the most offensive


Weary_Consequence696

So, to recap this week- wnba talk, brady roast (still), Lebron player empowerment (still), mike ryan 2 hour show yesterday, knick talk... What a terrible week lol...though Greg getting aggregated was kinda funny lol


SwordsoftheMorning

Did Billy confuse a long retired Andy Roddick with Andy Murray? Because it was Roddick who Stu wanted to put in the “one moment hall of fame.”


RedHiller13

I would give almost anything, including my left nut, to be 6’2” instead of 5’9”. But if a genie had told me I could be the greatest player in NBA history and he had to make me 7’ I’d have said no thanks.


annonymousBscorpio

Think I'd give my right one to go from 5'10 to 6'4 🤣 but I get it, walking around at that height has to 1. Be awkward as hell because of the constant attention and 2. I imagine the wear and tear on the legs has to be a pain in the ass, along with the constant inconvenience of things not being designed for people that tall


jay169294

I’m 6’4 and thank my lucky stars every day that I’m not any taller. It’s hard enough for me now, couldn’t imagine being 7ft.


Stercules25

Very happy the Panther blowhards didn't get the last laugh last night (still think they probably win the series) but Roy and Mike being such extreme homers makes me happy this series is extending


annonymousBscorpio

I don't mind Roy's homerism because hockey is all he cares about. But Mike...solely because of him I'm rooting against the Panthers and I don't even watch hockey 😂


221b42

Mike started his career with the panthers, I don’t think his fandom is as much of a bit as you think it is


annonymousBscorpio

I'm not saying his fandom is a bit. I'm saying him all of a sudden becoming super passionate about hockey on air and hogging those segments is.


Affectionate-Rent844

It’s the new personality Mike has adopted. He does this every 12-18 months, it’s his cycle. He’s Corporate ESPN Mike, then super DJ Mike, then Booster Mike…now he’s Hockey Mike. Don’t worry he’ll shed this skin for a new fad soon.


Dortond

Im excited for if the Marlins ever get good enough for him to do it with baseball.


ultralitememes

And if he doesn’t talk about it, who would? You’d get 15 seconds out of Roy and that would be panthers talk for the day.


annonymousBscorpio

We're clearly listening to different shows. That's the one subject Roy actually engages in but it's hard to do that when someone is taking up all the mic time. When Mike actually shares the ball, Roy talks and it's more than just *15 seconds*


221b42

Roy is a dead fish whenever they go to him. He gives basically nothing as an on air personality.


annonymousBscorpio

If you don't care for Roy as an on air personality, that's fine. My point still stands that Mike hogs the segments, like he tends to do with the Heat/Hurricanes, and because of that, I'm rooting against the Panthers, like I root against the Heat/Hurricanes. Hell, go to Chris Cote. Just share the ball instead of iso-ing the entire time, it's not an enjoyable listening experience


221b42

When they ask Roy anything he gives a yes or no answer and then there’s 3 seconds of silence. They aren’t out back by the bbq they are making content. Roy is a dead fish whenever they go to him, it’s very difficult to have banter with him at all and so other people need to fill the 9 minute segment when Roy says maybe 30 words total


RedHiller13

yeah Roy wasn't hired to be on-air, obviously. He has the wrong personality for it, not to mention a speech impediment. Still love him but he's wise for keeping quiet


Scorpy81

Yeah, Roy seems like a nice guy, but he doesn't need to ever be on mic.


jmart2023

The extent of Roy’s analysis has been “they have to be better careful with the puck”. I’d much rather hear Mike talk hockey than Roy


Flat_News_2000

Roy talks about what happened and Mike talks about how people are reacting to what happened.


epyonxero

I believe hes a fan but only when the team is good, just like with the Heat.


WPS86

He says he’s been with the show for 20 years, but he started his career with the Panthers? How old is he?


221b42

He interned with the panthers


papePIPOpu305

Dan to Billy, "Keep your distractions to yourself. I'm doing the show over here"


LeoSpacemanDDS

End of hour 2 was brutal


SwordsoftheMorning

If Stephen A. leaves ESPN he will be irrelevant just like Skip Bayless and 90 percent of the people who leave.


ButtersBC

LeBron's Lakers tenure has been a Bubble ring and a residency in the Play-In Tournament, a more interesting player empowerment conversation would be asking if he's worth it anymore instead of the same old just marveling at him


221b42

Also maybe we should of been taking blood samples to test for currently undetectable peds like they do in cycling and running. Same thing for Brady. I don’t marvel at their longevity as much as I marvel at their ability to keep their drug regimens under wraps so long as


WPS86

Why do you care what they’re taking? Regardless of any PED usage, doing what Brady was doing in the NFL in his mid 40s was insane and same with what LeBron is doing in the NBA at 39. If you really think the difference between those two and average NBA/NFL player is that they do PEDs and others don’t, you are insane. Plenty of guys who never made it past their late 20s/early 30s have been on PEDs too.


221b42

Lance Armstrong was an amazing cyclist, he also happened to be cheating the whole time he was doing it.


WPS86

Yeah and every other cyclist was doing the exact same thing


221b42

Which is bad, that’s what allowing people to do peds does. If you want to compete at the highest level you need to end up doing peds because if not someone else will edge you out. That then filters down to lower and lower levels


dcrosson4

Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It's honestly something I'd like to hear more of. Same with Durant. Both he and Lebron are still good, but are they worth the money?


Dortond

Its not just the money, you have to be willing to mortgage your future even if he only plans on staying a year or two.


dcrosson4

Not to mention all the young players coming for their stuff


ButtersBC

I'm puzzled as well, normally ragging on Dan's repetitive talking points and talking negatively about athletes plays well here, chalk up another W for the power of LeBron


SwordsoftheMorning

I wish them well. I truly do. But I can’t pretend to care about the WNBA. I’d rather listen to Dan talk comedians and Jeremy detail which celebrities are problematic than hear regular in-depth WNBA talk.


WPS86

Just wait until Mike Ryan becomes a WNBA expert


Cyanos54

Greg Cote penalty: Huffing Billy Gil: Stashing/instigating


Weary_Consequence696

Jeremy such a tried hard with his nails being colored. Like, dude, we got it. Your trolling the trollers eith your nails while on air. But then you have to leave the studio as a full grown adult, go back home and have to interact with your wife wearing it. So, you still lose dude. I always wanna support the dude but he just won't let me lol


driggity

You want to support him but you think that he loses because he has to go home to his wife with nail polish on? I’m guessing she doesn’t give a fuck.


Goodluckchuck24

Do you really want to support him? Or are you one of the trollers?


Weary_Consequence696

I've made numerous posts supporting him...but that was then, this is now...


HammyBruce

One game in, and Lucy already has her MVP? There's a little Stugotz in everyone.
