There is nothing casual about football season. You can tell yourself you're just going to watch one game, and six hours later, you're emotionally invested in a fourth quarter between two teams you don't even care about. That's what I love about this time of year. The entire weekend becomes football. You're texting friends, tracking games, second-guessing coaches, convincing yourself you saw something before everybody else did. And then Monday comes around, and you get to do the whole thing again. Those are the weekends you remember. And for me, some of the best ones have usually involved some good people, a great game, and a cold Miller Lite. No matter what triumphs are in store this season, legendary game days start with Miller Lite. Cold, crisp, refreshing, that clean finish. And it's part of plenty of memorable football weekends. Make game day legendary. Go to MillerLite.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you, or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. Game time is. is Miller time. Celebrate responsibly. Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounces. Before this. there's this. As you celebrate the game, take a deeper look at its roots. The people growing the grass, bathing the lots, welding the goalposts, inspecting every football. The hard-working people that make every. every Sunday possible. Carhartt is proud to outfit the crews behind the game. Visit Carhartt.com/join-the-trades to learn more. That's right, it's Thursday Thunder, presented by DraftKings Sports. DraftKings, the crown is yours, Juju. Yes, sir. Thursday Thunder, we are back, ladies and gentlemen. I'm. I'm just kicking it tonight. You feel me? I usually wait 'til the Sunday games, but not tonight. Tonight, I'm going with over 60 yards for my brother, George Pickens. He didn't have such a great game last game, but his yard still was over. Two catch to about 70 yards, man. So, yes, sir. Next leg, Bucky Irving. They got the rookie quarterback right now. They got to depend on that run game a little bit more than they usually would have to. So, we going over 13 and a half rush attempts for Bucky Irving tonight. Next leg. You just seen my boy, he caught 1,000 passes last week. Nothing here is making me think that he won't catch at least six balls tonight. So, we going with over five and a half catches for CeeDee Lamb tonight. And the last leg, rookie quarterback, he got his favorite targets. He used to watch TV just like us, and he has the ghost of Chris Godwin on his squad, and he thinks he needs to get him over three and a half balls tonight. Lock it in. Thursday Thunder, DraftKings Sports, now available in all 50 states. Juju, a statistical oddity is happening tonight on Thursday Night Football, courtesy of my friend, Tarek, at Clevin and Analytics. This matchup tonight is the number 32 pass offense versus the number 32 pass defense. It's only the fifth time in the last 25 years that this matchup has occurred in the regular season after the first month of the season. The 32nd ranked offense is 4-0 straight up. Even though they've been favored all four times, this is an outlier. This is a great example of a stoppable force meeting a movable object. The Dominique Foxworth show is something that you should listen to if you want to get your facts right. Georgia is a one point, one and a half point dog at Bama. Since 2021, Georgia's only been an underdog three times in the last 78 games. Is this game in jeopardy of being moved? I just saw a recent weather forecast that said showers are certainly in the picture, but winds only at 20 miles per hour, I say only, but it seems like some of the worst stuff. I mean, the area is still going to be a little removed. These hurricanes though, the hurricanes are gathering in speed faster than they used to and weather abnormalities are going to be all over the place. So it got very fast. Like that hurricane has escalated to category three status in a very short period of time. Let's get to some of the fun stuff here with Juju. Do we have any top five lists, any jokers of the day, any other things that we need to be doing with you right now, Juju? Yes. Yes, sir. Man. First off joker of the day, man. Oh my goodness. New York Liberty head coach, Chris DeMarco, I'm saying look man, four seconds left in the game. They are down three points. They have to travel the full length of the court. What was that? They have a, they have a timeout in their pockets. He chooses not to call a timeout saying that he didn't think they had a timeout. They asked the officials, they say they didn't have a brother. You are the coach. I don't give a damn who's what, who say got a timeout. You are the coach. You have your own statisticians over there. I think that since New York, y'all call y'all selves the Mecca, right? This is, this is an egregious offense as a former Hooper. I say y'all make a change and do what's right. Fire Chris DeMarco before game three. We're not doing that. Whoa. Why not? It's serious. It's a means guy. That's my guy, man. This is, this is okay. Well reprimand salute. Okay. I'm going to change my tone then. I'm out cause I ride for my dollars, but for you not to call that timeout, imagine if this was the NFL and it was 10 seconds left in the game and you know what? The coach decides to kick a field goal and he has a timeout, but he tries to make the field goal. And then time runs out before he got the kick. We would have his job in question the next day. So Chris DeMarco salute to you and to me, but you sir are the joker of the day. He's right. He's right. That, that league loves blaming referees. I'm sorry. It is such a bad job by that coach. Let me play DeMarco's advocate here. If the refs, even if my, my bookkeeping says I have a timeout, if the refs say I don't have it. Why? Do you call a timeout? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold up. Hold up. You think if Eric Spolstra what was told that he, he knows he has a timeout, but the referee says you don't have any more. Spolstra is like, Oh, I guess I'm just going to eat it. Famously, very recently called the timeout. He did not have. It's like one of the most famous examples of exactly what he believed that he had. It's going to haunt him until his deathbed. He's going to be on his deathbed and it's going to haunt just like the second apron. Yes. That's it. That, but that's, this is the problem here. Okay. This is all they talking about the brothers. This is distracting y'all from the belt that Atlanta is putting across that ass right now. I don't want to hear about this timeout stuff all day and did they have not, did you see Angel Reese though is my problem. You getting this from Atlanta dream fan. I'm disgusted by your non calling of a timeout because I respect the game, bro. I want to win the right way. Get him out of here. And also don't let that distract you from the worst. I have ever seen in WNBA history from Sabrina Yanez school with under 10 seconds left. She threw the ball on the fourth row. Yep. Who the hell is you passing it to ma'am? That's right. No. Did you see that? Yeah. I said the same thing. Who are you passing it to? Yes. Of course I saw it. And they want to talk about the timeouts. No, sir. They love blaming the referees. That league. They love it. Right. Any top five lists for us today? Juju. Yes, sir, man. What are the top five that stem from a video I saw online where a kid and a guy, he caught the baseball. So a adult caught the baseball and the people around his section was pressuring him to give the ball to the kid. Did you guys see this video? Yeah. Video team. Do we have this video for the audience? There we go. Wow. I'm not giving you the kid. I feel bad, but I'm not giving you the kid. Who's that guy? Oh, no. Look at that kid. Great camera work. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, no. Adorable kid. What a jerk. You don't do that. I hate that. You know, I caught Darien Mintz's towel, handed it over to a child immediately. You're a hero. I am. Thank you for noticing that. You're amazing. You wouldn't have known if I didn't tell you. Yeah. See, and that makes me want to bring this to Judge Zazz because as an adult, you buy these tickets and I would see if you are in a scrum and you and the kid are going for the ball. Okay, cool. Give me one second, little kid. Let me take a picture right quick. Caught the ball. I don't know. You feel me? But he just caught a ball and the kid just happened to be sitting in the section. Judge Zazz. Wait, wait. Should he give this ball up? So I just heard Juju request a court date. All rise. The Honorable Jonathan Zazzlo now presiding with prejudice. I've seen the evidence in this case. Everyone knows that when an adult, especially male, gets a foul ball. Great. Celebrate it for a moment. Then look around for the closest little kid and you give it to him. All right. But. defendant in this case this is this is a guy in his early 20s all right this is a young man here this isn't even a real grown-up he's allowed to keep that ball whoa he's allowed to keep that if I catch a ball in the stands I must immediately give it to a child and I will but that that's that's not that's not a grown-up right there that's a young man plus he's allowed to keep the plus he's a Dodgers fan at Dodger Stadium I'm not giving it to a Braves kid he can keep I'm giving it to a kid it's gonna be a Dodgers kid guys we're focusing on the wrong thing the camera work is incredible great shot guy pans to the kid and then zooms and the kid hit the mark perfect right as he says right as he says I'm not giving it to a kid perfect pan to the right yeah and it was in Atlanta and an adorable kid with an adorable haircut name three songs was a Dodger fan in Atlanta yeah it was in LA okay so let's play on that kid can tell me the top three songs on top of the rotation of the 96 Braves you can have it so yeah so from that I was under the influence of thinking that you know what I think bro Mike should keep that ball man salute to the kid but salute it made me think of a top five list that adults stopped doing for no damn reason at all you feel me number five dancing bro athletes when did it come taboo to just what's a move right quick I'll be going out to my homeboy they are so gangster they will not take their hands out their pockets man we need to start dancing more Juju that's a that's a I think that's a cultural thing man like like uh it's like a generation excuse me generational thing because back in my day everybody danced everybody danced but until Fat Joe said we don't dance we just all we do is this that's when it changed yeah I'm gonna do the rock away number four making forts athletes come on man living room for this let's put the cover that started from here tuck the pillow under there and I'm gonna watch TV on this side bro uh-oh I fired it here's the air vent like come on bro what happened to that this is fun again it's Snoop Snoop knocked down that Fort and ever since then forts haven't been cool right number three just bust a random cartwheel man he's walking down the street just bust a cartwheel out of it I'm not gonna do that down the street just bust a cartwheel out of nowhere man who says no why not my sciatica but see you you got the sciatica because you stopped doing cartwheels at one point that's what happens to us you did get neither here nor there number two man just throwing up the random S on a piece of paper man athlete you know what I'm talking about if you know man just don't draw the S to this day six lines to this day Juju still be doing it yeah you know what I mean not going anywhere for a while just throw up the random S on your paper man money sign S and the number one thing man that we just stopped doing for no damn reason hold on I'm gonna do it real quick impromptu finally saw his belly I took several years but he finally showed me nice oh I used to love that move Juju do it oh wow oh I love that move oh man we supposed to do that forever okay so Roy Roy just said to me Roy just said to me helpfully describe for the audio audience how the hell am I going to describe how do I describe what it is that he just did he took one arm tucked it inside of his shirt attached it to his other arm that wasn't tucked inside of his shirt and then had something growing out of his stomach as he moved his arms up and down it's his hog at lebitard show uh on the poll questions you can vote at any time of day or night whenever it is that you please what do you have Juju have you ever heard the word news start with the letter is no they have not I just realized in order for Juju to pull that off he had to know that he was going to wear a long sleeve shirt on this day that's great attention well done I have to correct a point that I made earlier I actually had seen the Sage production of Little Shop of Horrors and I just totally forgot that I did not an important correct I'd like to be honest and admit when I'm wrong did you guys see my belly button Miracle Center Miracle Mile Actors Playhouse wow there's a nipple what do I do here 85 percent of the audience says yes do you know why they call it an apron 88 percent of the audience says no they do not do you want to be a smarter fan 59 percent of the audience says yes they do and last most important poll isn't a mean awesome 67 percent of the audience says yes and those are your what are you doing you're doing a Groucho Marx shaking a fake cigar at us with a paper like that's what you're doing bye-bye
