The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

We made it! All the way to San Francisco. Host Dave Dameshek strolls down Lombard Street. Then travels down to media night in San Jose. Did ESPN anchors fall for his long running bit? (Coach, is this a must win game?) Of course they did. Then we chat with Seattle Seahawks great Matt Hasselbeck and Handsome Hank Hodgson on media row. Are we ready for the season to end? No. But we're going out in style on this episode of Football America!

The NHL is heading to Milan, but before it gets there, the gang is all here to discuss the fight involving Gavin McKenna outside a bar at Penn State this past weekend, which has the presumptive #1 overall pick possibly facing 20 years in prison. David and Roy recap their time at the Stadium Series in Tampa, and the gang dives into the Panthers Den after another brutal week that may have put the final nail in the coffin of the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions. Ethan has a stat of the week on Sergei Bobrovsky's fall-off this season, and Rosa En Un Minuto features the Carolina Hurricanes. In wins and fails, Roy celebrates highlights in the sport; David celebrates the US women getting off to a great start in Milan; Ethan cheers on Gustav Forsling, whooping up on JJ Moser; and Thunderbug has stolen Rose's heart. Then, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski joins the crew to discuss the Artemi Panarin trade, break down the McKenna situation further, and tell us what his feelings are about Team USA heading into the Olympic Games.

"I'm plumb sick in my balls."



Yammerin' Dave Dameshek is here to talk Super Bowl, but he gets distracted by his fury over an underwhelming uniform matchup that could have been spectacular. Then, after legendary Washington Post reporter Michael Wilbon joins us to discuss the paper's collapse under 'lightweight cream puff' Jeff Bezos and why he feels 'devastated' and 'pissed off at the world,' the crew discusses the size of their packages.

"No, I don't wear two at a time. What am I, an asshole?"



Now that the Trade Deadline has passed, we can use our final two hours of the show before Super Bowl weekend to actually discuss the Super Bowl. Did you know Mike was a Day 1 Drake Maye stockholder? Plus, Ryen Russillo may have deleted his IG post, but Donald Trump sure hasn't taken down his racist post depicting the Obamas as apes. Mike and Dan lead a conversation on the normalization of Trump's racism as he deflects from the Epstein Files.

The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning have the most heated rivalry in the NHL. No, not THAT Heated Rivalry.
