The Dan Le Batard Show

Tony Calatayud is in the studio to talk a little ball with the boys on a Friday. Dave, Tony, Gino, and Ethan discuss the Buffalo Bills and their chances of eclipsing their predicted win total this season, as well as which teams we know for sure will NOT make the playoffs. Plus, Tony and Ethan go head-to-head in another edition of Mister Lister, and this battle is juicy. Then, Ben Axelrod of Front Office Sports joins Dave to discuss the news that Tony Romo is stepping down at CBS, the media's responsibility in covering the Kyle Shanahan situation, and who will start under center for Ben's Cleve

"Hey Peter! We got a man of science out front!" Everything seems to suggest we're heading towards a normal Friday hour until Dave asks whether the crew believes they are going to heaven. After a lengthy discussion about the topic, Zaslow asks the crew whether they've heard of Yeet. Chris tells about watching a movie for the first time last night. We introduce the new segment, AI or Not AI, and cap it off with Big Game or Not a Big Game. Come to think of it, this was a perfectly normal Friday hour. Learn more about your ad choices.

"Wait, the running back's white? Come on, everybody." We debut a new segment on the show we like to call "NFL!"

"Have you ever rolled down the window and addressed someone as f***face?" Zaslow nearly got into an accident this morning and Chris witnessed some disgusting behavior on the highway, but no need to fret because neither got mooned. Dave hurt his big toe while sleeping and also can't sleep on red eyes. Jeff Hafley is a big tough guy that doesn't believe in 7on7 drills in Training Camp, and former Miami Heat guard Norris Cole seems to have taken a shot at Rich Paul. Learn more about your ad choices.

"You gotta go with 'I gotta take a s**t." Dan is conflicted about whether to play the body-cam footage of Tony Romo's OWI arrest because he is the world's greatest empath.
