Advertise on podcast: The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

The Time Machine returns to the 2016-17 NFL season, when Matt Ryan won MVP and Stugotz took it personally. In one uninterrupted burst he declares the conversation absurd, crowns Aaron Rodgers MVP “now and forever,” dares and defies anyone to name a big game Matty Ice has ever won, and says “Period. End of discussion” before continuing the discussion. Nine years later, Dan breaks it down: the two quarterbacks had nearly identical seasons, Ryan simply won more, and Stugotz never looked at a stat. Dan’s favorite moment is “I am serious about it,” which Stugotz delivers as a single word.

Mike Ryan Ruiz joins the show to talk Cleveland and college sports. We dive straight into the high-stakes Ohio State vs. Indiana showdown. If the Buckeyes lose, will their perception actually improve like Alabama's did against Georgia? Plus, we question how LSU is still ranked and expose the sheer madness of the College FPI—imagine if it put the Chargers and Texans in the NFL playoffs! We also count down our three can't-miss games for Week 6. To wrap it all up, we hit the Las Vegas Raiders with a reality check. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
