<v Speaker 1>Wednesday, August thirteenth, twenty twenty five. You are listening to

<v Speaker 1>the Daily Dose Sports podcast and I am your host,

<v Speaker 1>Clint Daily, coming to you from the Oahiah City here

<v Speaker 1>in Denver, Colorado, and we are back for another week

<v Speaker 1>of talking sports with a dose of common sense. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Happy Wednesday to you. Hope your week is going well.

<v Speaker 1>Hope you had a good weekend. I hope you, your family,

<v Speaker 1>your friends, everyone in your world is staying strong and

<v Speaker 1>healthy right now. And hey, we are getting into a

<v Speaker 1>fun time of season. It is on the horizon. Gonna

<v Speaker 1>have college football here soon, Gonna have the NFL here soon.

<v Speaker 1>But it's not here quite yet, however, And you know me,

<v Speaker 1>this is not my thing, but Maylick Baseball is actually

<v Speaker 1>starting to heat up in a few ways. We have

<v Speaker 1>a number of tight division races and they look like

<v Speaker 1>they may come down to the wire, and I mean,

<v Speaker 1>I can't even believe them, but kind of starting to

<v Speaker 1>watch a little bit at MLB over in the American League.

<v Speaker 1>The American League East is tight. Toronto has a slight

<v Speaker 1>lead on those surging Boston Red Sox, and the Yankees

<v Speaker 1>meanwhile are starting to fade. What is going on there.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, could we really end up with a Major

<v Speaker 1>League Baseball playoffs and the Yankees not get in. I mean,

<v Speaker 1>it's possible, right. The American League West is also getting tight.

<v Speaker 1>We have the Astros with Carlos Korea back on the

<v Speaker 1>field for them. They've got a slight lead over the

<v Speaker 1>Seattle Mariners, who seem like they always are kind of

<v Speaker 1>expected to do something, but they never do. The Rangers

<v Speaker 1>are in the hunt as well. Over there in the

<v Speaker 1>National League. All three divisions are very very tight. And yes,

<v Speaker 1>even that National League West is tight because the Los

<v Speaker 1>Angeles Dodgers haven't been able to shake the San Diego Podres,

<v Speaker 1>I mean, the most expensive team in history. Well, they've

<v Speaker 1>been banged up and the Podres, meanwhile, have been red hot.

<v Speaker 1>Surely that lineup is going to take over eventually, right,

<v Speaker 1>The Dodgers just have too much. Once they get everyone healthy,

<v Speaker 1>they'll just take over, right, it will, right. But we

<v Speaker 1>also saw some Major League Baseball history this past week

<v Speaker 1>when Jen Powell officially became the first female umpire in

<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball history. That took place on Sunday. You know,

<v Speaker 1>it took more than a century of baseball for a

<v Speaker 1>woman to get that opportunity, and Powell had certainly paid

<v Speaker 1>her dues. She had worked more than twelve hundred games

<v Speaker 1>across a decade of umpiring in the minor leagues. And

<v Speaker 1>then on Sunday, Jen Powell stood behind home plate for

<v Speaker 1>the first pitch in the first game of a doubleheader

<v Speaker 1>between the Atlanta Braves and the Miami Marlins. And it

<v Speaker 1>was a historical moment. There were dozens of family members,

<v Speaker 1>there were friends, supporters who came out to the field

<v Speaker 1>with handwritten signs to cheer on Powell, Powell making her story.

<v Speaker 1>One sign read the time has come for one and

<v Speaker 1>all to play ball. Another sign said so Marlin's second basement.

<v Speaker 1>Otto Lopez stepped up to home plate to face Brave's

<v Speaker 1>pitcher Joey Wentz. Hey the cell phone cameras where flashing

<v Speaker 1>fans took in this amazing moment in baseball history. And

<v Speaker 1>then on the very first pitch, Powell caught a pitch

<v Speaker 1>by Wentz that was nearly a foot inside the plate

<v Speaker 1>as a strike. Well, hey, we all make mistakes, right,

<v Speaker 1>It was just a slip up. But then after the game,

<v Speaker 1>Powell admitted she had a dream the night before about Lopez.

<v Speaker 1>She said it wasn't really what he had said it was,

<v Speaker 1>or just how he had said it in the dream,

<v Speaker 1>and she wasn't sure why, but like she just thinks

<v Speaker 1>it's funny how he always says one thing but does another.

<v Speaker 1>And sometimes when otto doesn't say what he's feeling, he's

<v Speaker 1>actually saying a lot more than if he had And

<v Speaker 1>if he wants to go out with his friends, fine,

<v Speaker 1>just say so, just go have fun and don't worry

<v Speaker 1>about her whatever all that. Man. Anyways, congrats to Major

<v Speaker 1>League Baseball and umpire Jen Powell. This was one amazing

<v Speaker 1>historic accomplishment. I can't wait to see her take one

<v Speaker 1>more major step for women everywhere when she botches a

<v Speaker 1>call in the postseason.

<v Speaker 2>Two, you ugly hate field, man, Hey, hey, I may

<v Speaker 2>be ugly in hate field, but I what was the

<v Speaker 2>third thing you said?

<v Speaker 3>Hey?

<v Speaker 1>Dam does With the college football and NFL seasons coming quickly,

<v Speaker 1>we are going to take a look at some of

<v Speaker 1>the biggest early games on each schedule that could end

<v Speaker 1>up being very impactful this season. Plus, every team in

<v Speaker 1>the NFL right now has some hope. Right everyone is

<v Speaker 1>hoping to get out of the gates quickly and start

<v Speaker 1>racking up those wins well, as our deal o US

<v Speaker 1>Top five will show us sometimes that isn't nearly as

<v Speaker 1>important as you might even think. But first, speaking of

<v Speaker 1>making history, we saw well sort of some history made

<v Speaker 1>in the NFL preseason this past week because Jacksonville Jaguars

<v Speaker 1>kicker Cam Little stole the spotlight from Travis Hunter's NFL

<v Speaker 1>debut by hitting a seventy yard field goal during Saturday

<v Speaker 1>Night's game against the Pittsburgh Dealers. Hey, had it not

<v Speaker 1>happened during the preseason, Little's kick would have broken Justin

<v Speaker 1>Tucker's NFL record by a full four yards. That's amazing.

<v Speaker 1>He had room to spare too. And you know, I

<v Speaker 1>don't know that much about Cam Little, I'll be honest,

<v Speaker 1>I really don't. But if he's anything like Justin Tucker,

<v Speaker 1>I will warn the massage therapists in the greater Jacksonville.

<v Speaker 1>Are you be careful? Is all I'm saying. Be careful.

<v Speaker 1>It wasn't all good news in the NFL, as we

<v Speaker 1>have already seen a few significant injuries in this preseason.

<v Speaker 1>The Indianapolis Colts lost quarterback Anthony Richardson at least for

<v Speaker 1>a little bit, to a dislocated finger just weeks after

<v Speaker 1>signing a massive contract extension, The Los Angeles Chargers lost

<v Speaker 1>tackle Rashawn Slater. He suffered a torn pateller tendon in practice.

<v Speaker 1>Minnesota Vikings receiver ron Dale Moore blew his left knee

<v Speaker 1>and he's gone for the year. Baltimore Ravens rookie cornerback

<v Speaker 1>balal Cohne was carted off the field on Thursday and night,

<v Speaker 1>also a victim of a knee injury. The Kansas City

<v Speaker 1>Chiefs lost safety Dion Bush to a torn achilles We

<v Speaker 1>weren't done. Miami Dolphins running back Alexander Madison will miss

<v Speaker 1>the entire twenty twenty five NFL season due to a

<v Speaker 1>neck injury that he suffered against the Bears in their

<v Speaker 1>first game on Sunday. And Friday night's preseason game between

<v Speaker 1>the Detroit Lions and the Atlanta Fielkens was actually canceled

<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter when Lions defensive back Maurice Norris

<v Speaker 1>tried to tackle Falcons running back Nathan Carter and suffered

<v Speaker 1>a neck injury. Now, they say Norris is recovering and

<v Speaker 1>he should be Okay. These just keep racking up, But

<v Speaker 1>I want you to remember these preseason injuries. When the

<v Speaker 1>NFL bumps otter season to eighteen games, because that is coming.

<v Speaker 1>They are going to drop either all or all but

<v Speaker 1>one of these preseason games, and then they're gonna add

<v Speaker 1>one more game to the regular season because you can't

<v Speaker 1>keep charging season ticket holders full price for these games

<v Speaker 1>where there's so many injuries, not much benefit. Oh and

<v Speaker 1>they keep canceling these preseason games as well. That's been

<v Speaker 1>done a couple times. Now, get ready, they're gonna say, hey, fellas,

<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do you a favor. We're gonna cancel the

<v Speaker 1>preseason great, and we're gonna add another regular season game.

<v Speaker 1>Don't say you didn't know, because it is coming. A

<v Speaker 1>little bit of college sports news this week as three

<v Speaker 1>departing members of the Mountain West Conference are actually suing

<v Speaker 1>the league, alleging it improperly withheld millions of dollars and

<v Speaker 1>misled them about a plan to accelerate Grand Canyons membership

<v Speaker 1>into the Mountain West. Boise State, Colorado State, and Usta

<v Speaker 1>State have filed an updated lawsuit in the District Court

<v Speaker 1>of Denver arguing the conference and the commissioner willfully disregarded

<v Speaker 1>the league's bylaws and intentionally and fraudulently deprived the schools

<v Speaker 1>of their membership rights. The three schools are all headed

<v Speaker 1>to the PAC twelve after this coming season, and they

<v Speaker 1>are seeking damages for millions of dollars because they say

<v Speaker 1>there was harm that was caused by the Mountain West,

<v Speaker 1>including withholding of money earned by Boise State for playing

<v Speaker 1>last year in the College Football Playoff. Now, the three

<v Speaker 1>outgoing schools argue the Mountain West exit fees, which could

<v Speaker 1>range from nineteen million to thirty eight million, are also

<v Speaker 1>unlawful and they shouldn't be enforced. And then, of course,

<v Speaker 1>the lawsuit says the Mountain West concealed a plan to

<v Speaker 1>move Grand Canyon into the league without informing their parting schools. Now,

<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure how this lawsuit that's up. If I

<v Speaker 1>had to guess, I would bet the schools in the

<v Speaker 1>conference will end up settling out of court and some

<v Speaker 1>money will change chance. But put that stuff aside, just

<v Speaker 1>real quick, one brief nue. The new PAC twelve is

<v Speaker 1>going to have Oregon State, Washington State, Boise State, Colorado State,

<v Speaker 1>Fresno State, San Diego State, Texas State, and Utah State.

<v Speaker 1>And then Gonzaga is going to be a non football member. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>I get that's an average football conference, but that NEWPAC

<v Speaker 1>twelve is going to be loaded in basketball. That conference

<v Speaker 1>is going to be legit. I can't wait for that

<v Speaker 1>NEWPAC twelve to start because that's going to be a

<v Speaker 1>fun hoops conference. Finally, you know, I tried to avoid it.

<v Speaker 1>I want wanted to avoid it. I haven't talked about it,

<v Speaker 1>but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to talk about it

<v Speaker 1>because there is a new trend taking place in the WNBA.

<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna try to get through this. Bear with me.

<v Speaker 1>You've got youngsters with you, and you need to plug

<v Speaker 1>their ears. I don't know, do what you need to do.

<v Speaker 1>Don't say you weren't warned. But apparently we have a

<v Speaker 1>new trend taking place in the WNBA where fans are

<v Speaker 1>lobbing sex toys out onto the court in the middle

<v Speaker 1>of games. There. I said it, it's out, they say.

<v Speaker 1>A group of crypto investors is claiming responsibility for a

<v Speaker 1>series of incidents where green sex toys were tossed onto

<v Speaker 1>WNBA courts, adding a strange wrinkle to a league that's

<v Speaker 1>already kind of weird but so far, WNBA games in Atlanta, Brooklyn, Chicago,

<v Speaker 1>LA and Phoenix have now seen bright green let's just say,

<v Speaker 1>objects thrown out onto the court during games. The incidents

<v Speaker 1>have spurred at least two arrests and an uproar from

<v Speaker 1>the WNBA and their fans. Now, I'll be honest, this

<v Speaker 1>story would actually be kind of funny, except that, of course,

<v Speaker 1>the WNBA takes itself way too seriously. You think I'm wrong,

<v Speaker 1>You're like, no, they don't. They don't take themselves that seriously.

<v Speaker 1>Check out this quote from Minnesota Link's head coach Cheryl

<v Speaker 1>Reeve last week. This has been going on for centuries,

<v Speaker 1>the sexualization of women. This is the latest version of that,

<v Speaker 1>and it's not funny and it should not be the

<v Speaker 1>butt of jokes on any radio shows or in print

<v Speaker 1>or in any comments. Now I've said before the WNBA

<v Speaker 1>takes himself too seriously, and the WNBA is just completely

<v Speaker 1>tone deaf. But please remember this before we go down.

<v Speaker 1>This is a sexualisation thing. This is an anti woman thing,

<v Speaker 1>this is a homophobic thing. Please remember we have seen

<v Speaker 1>this happen before at NFL games. I can think of

<v Speaker 1>one specifically. It took place in Buffalo, during a Bills game.

<v Speaker 1>Was that the sexualization of men? Was that homophobic? Or

<v Speaker 1>was that also a sexualization of women? Because I don't

<v Speaker 1>know what that was, but we've seen it before. Let's

<v Speaker 1>not act like this is brand new once again. Find

<v Speaker 1>me a more tone deaf group than the WNBA. Wait

<v Speaker 1>a second, remember when the WNBA players bore that pay

<v Speaker 1>us what we Deserve t shirt at the All Star Game? Huh?

<v Speaker 1>Maybe this is just what people think they deserve.

<v Speaker 3>You ugly hate failed man.

<v Speaker 2>Hey, hey, I may be ugly and hate field, but

<v Speaker 2>I what was the third thing you said? So?

<v Speaker 1>The college football and NFL seasons are coming quickly, and

<v Speaker 1>it is interesting every year because with football games only

<v Speaker 1>being played once a week, we are always trying to

<v Speaker 1>solve the mystery of who is who in the NFL

<v Speaker 1>and who is who in college I mean, teams play

<v Speaker 1>one week, they look great, we think we have them

<v Speaker 1>figured out. The next week they look terrible. Okay, so

<v Speaker 1>who is this team really?

<v Speaker 3>Well?

<v Speaker 1>Today? I'm at dy, what does We are going to

<v Speaker 1>look at a few games very early in the season,

<v Speaker 1>I mean in the first few weeks in both college

<v Speaker 1>football and the NFL, and they are going to give

<v Speaker 1>us some big clues as to who is who. Let's

<v Speaker 1>start off in college football, where sometimes I feel like

<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit easier to figure out these teams

<v Speaker 1>because there's only so many truly quality opponents on each

<v Speaker 1>team's schedule. We'll get ready for some early games that

<v Speaker 1>are going to be very revealing in Week one, August thirtieth. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>don't look now, kids, but that is coming very very

<v Speaker 1>quickly m Mountain Standard time. I'm convinced I know why

<v Speaker 1>they're doing this at ten am. Because each team has

<v Speaker 1>young players. They don't want them to be that nervous.

<v Speaker 1>The number one Texas Longhorns are going to be facing

<v Speaker 1>number two in the Coach is pulled, number three in

<v Speaker 1>the a People Ohio State Buckeyes in the Horseshoe. Quarterback

<v Speaker 1>arch Manny will be getting his first start for Texas.

<v Speaker 1>Ohio State has new coordinators on both sides of the ball,

<v Speaker 1>and they are going to be trying to figure out

<v Speaker 1>which quarterback is really going to take that job and

<v Speaker 1>run with it. Hey, both of these teams are loaded

<v Speaker 1>this year, and losing this game won't take either of

<v Speaker 1>them out of contention unless you get blown out either way.

<v Speaker 1>This first game is going to give us some big

<v Speaker 1>clues as to how each of these teams are going

<v Speaker 1>to be this year. I can't wait for that one.

<v Speaker 1>Also in Week one, later that day at five point

<v Speaker 1>thirty pm, we will get the number nine LSU Tigers

<v Speaker 1>going to Death Valley to face the number six Clemson Tigers. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>Brian and LSU need to win an opener. They are

<v Speaker 1>currently zero to three in their opening game under BK

<v Speaker 1>LSU quarterback Garrett Nessmeyer. They're already saying he might be

<v Speaker 1>a little bit banged up and he should be one

<v Speaker 1>of the top quarterbacks in the country. But it isn't

<v Speaker 1>just LSU. Clemson needs this game too. Dablos Winny is

<v Speaker 1>hoping this team can get back to the national championship

<v Speaker 1>kind of picture. Quarterback k Klubnick needs a big start.

<v Speaker 1>We've got SEC versus ACC, Dabbo versus Brian Kelly. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>this is going to be very interesting in week one.

<v Speaker 1>Fast forward to Week two, where we will get an

<v Speaker 1>evening game that features number fourteen Michigan going to Norman,

<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma to face the Sooners. Now, remember Michigan head coach

<v Speaker 1>Ron Moore is a Sooner, a lump and he is

<v Speaker 1>going to take that self administered suspension in week three

<v Speaker 1>and four against Central Michigan and Nebraska. Of course, for

<v Speaker 1>all of that, you know Jim Harbaugh cheating stuff. Also

<v Speaker 1>keep in mind Oklahoma head coach Brett Venables. He needs

<v Speaker 1>to win, He needs to win badly. Michigan versus Oklahoma

<v Speaker 1>in week two, that's gonna be big. In week three,

<v Speaker 1>we get another revealing game when number twenty one Texas

<v Speaker 1>A and M goes to South Bend to face the

<v Speaker 1>number five Notre Dame fighting Irish. Of course, the Irish

<v Speaker 1>went all the way to the National Title Game last year,

<v Speaker 1>but remember they had to kind of hold on for

<v Speaker 1>dear life to get past A and M and that

<v Speaker 1>season opener. Now, Notre Dame lost some people. I still

<v Speaker 1>think put a playoff contender, and I think A and

<v Speaker 1>M is very dangerous this year. Don't say he didn't know.

<v Speaker 1>They didn't lose much at all. This could be a

<v Speaker 1>huge game in week three. Let's fast forward just a

<v Speaker 1>little bit. We go to week five, where we get

<v Speaker 1>two early season conference games, and both of these are

<v Speaker 1>in primetime. On September twenty seventh, Hey, block that day

<v Speaker 1>out on your calendar. First up, we get a Big

<v Speaker 1>Ten battle where number seven Oregon goes to number either

<v Speaker 1>two or three Penn State. Hey, spin it however you want.

<v Speaker 1>Penn State needs to be someone like a real, live,

<v Speaker 1>actual ranked team. Also, remember the last time we saw

<v Speaker 1>Oregon they were getting curb stomped in the College Football

<v Speaker 1>Playoff by Ohio State by twenty This game will give

<v Speaker 1>the winner a leg up in the Big Ten. This

<v Speaker 1>is a big one. Also, in week five, we get

<v Speaker 1>a big SEC game when the number eight Alabama Crimson

<v Speaker 1>tied go to Athens to face the number four Georgia. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>I know it will only be late September. Looking at

<v Speaker 1>the schedule, the winner of this game is going to

<v Speaker 1>have an inside track to get to the SEC championship game.

<v Speaker 1>Bama needs a bounce back year this year. They stumbled

<v Speaker 1>a bit last year. Georgia is still Georgia, but they

<v Speaker 1>lost some people. These are five big college football games

<v Speaker 1>that are going to give us some very big clues

<v Speaker 1>as to who is who, and they are going to

<v Speaker 1>all be played before we ever get to the month

<v Speaker 1>of October. I can't wait for it. Let's move to

<v Speaker 1>the NFL, which I actually think is more difficult to

<v Speaker 1>calculate because on any given Sunday, any team can win.

<v Speaker 1>I mean, every NFL team has talent. So here are

<v Speaker 1>a few early season games that are also going to

<v Speaker 1>tell us a lot going forward, and again we're keeping

<v Speaker 1>them early. We start off in Week one and I'm

<v Speaker 1>skipping the Dallas Philly game, which should be interesting on

<v Speaker 1>Thursday night, But we get the defending AFC champion Kansas

<v Speaker 1>City Chiefs going to Los Angeles to face their AFC

<v Speaker 1>West rival, the LA Chargers. Now, both of these teams

<v Speaker 1>have already gotten some rough injury news this year, but

<v Speaker 1>both of them also have big expectations. Also, the Chiefs

<v Speaker 1>have a seven game winning streak against the Chargers. Can

<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes keep that rolling? Is Jim Harbaugh going to

<v Speaker 1>get his quarterback Justin Herbert to finally live up to

<v Speaker 1>his expectations for a Week one game? Oh, Charges versus

<v Speaker 1>Chiefs is great. Also in Week one, we're not done.

<v Speaker 1>We get a rematch of the AFC Divisional playoff game

<v Speaker 1>last year between the Baltimore Ravens and the Buffalo Bills. Now,

<v Speaker 1>in that game, the Ravens put up four hundred and

<v Speaker 1>sixteen total yards to the Bills two seventy three. However,

<v Speaker 1>the Ravens had some ill time turnovers, maybe a drop

<v Speaker 1>or two. Will this game make up for that, of

<v Speaker 1>course not, but it might give us a hint as

<v Speaker 1>to how each of these teams is going to look

<v Speaker 1>this year. Moving forward to Week two, I want to

<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on that Washington Commander's team this year

<v Speaker 1>because they exceeded all expectations last year. They go all

<v Speaker 1>the way to the NFC Title Game, where they lose

<v Speaker 1>the Philly Well, in Week two, the Commanders will go

<v Speaker 1>to Green Bay to face a Packers team that I

<v Speaker 1>don't even know what to expect. Last year, the Packers

<v Speaker 1>looked good at times, they look bad at times. They

<v Speaker 1>had problems with consistent but they made it to the

<v Speaker 1>postseason before they also lost to the Eagles. Well, are

<v Speaker 1>the Commander's going to take a step back this year?

<v Speaker 1>Are the Packers going to take a step forward this year?

<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I can't wait to find out. Also,

<v Speaker 1>in Week two, we get another game between two teams

<v Speaker 1>that are hoping to take a big step forward when

<v Speaker 1>the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go to Houston to face the Texans. Now,

<v Speaker 1>the Bucks were ten and seven last year they lost

<v Speaker 1>to Washington in a really tight wildcard game. They actually

<v Speaker 1>played Washington pretty tough. Was Tampa maybe better than we thought?

<v Speaker 1>Not sure? And then the Houston Texans saw a quarterback CJ.

<v Speaker 1>Stroud take a bit of a step backward last year,

<v Speaker 1>but then he also did rally them to a playoff

<v Speaker 1>win over the Chargers before they ended up losing to

<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs. This game in Week two could be very interesting. Finally,

<v Speaker 1>we get to Week three where we could see some

<v Speaker 1>major fireworks because the Cincinnati Bengals and that high powered

<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow offense will go to Minnesota to face a

<v Speaker 1>Viight Kings team that just might have all the pieces.

<v Speaker 1>But we need to see what quarterback JJ McCarthy is

<v Speaker 1>going to look like in live action. Of course, last

<v Speaker 1>year he was lost for the season with that knee injury.

<v Speaker 1>Sam Darnold took over and led the Vikings to a

<v Speaker 1>fourteen and three record. Joe Burrow versus JJ McCarthy, Jamar

<v Speaker 1>Chase and T. Higgins against Justin Jefferson and TJ. Hockinson.

<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, this could be a shootout. This could be

<v Speaker 1>a really fun game, and this could be another early

<v Speaker 1>season clue as to how each of these teams is

<v Speaker 1>going to do. We remember you should be stopping by

<v Speaker 1>baseball cap, they have it all over there. Just go

<v Speaker 1>check out what we have going on over at dailydosports

<v Speaker 1>dot com. Now, as we do so many weeks shut

<v Speaker 1>through Daily Dose, we need to get over to our

<v Speaker 1>Daily Dose Top five. So, like we just talked about,

<v Speaker 1>we have some really interesting early season NFL games coming

<v Speaker 1>when this regular season kicks off, and that is just

<v Speaker 1>a few weeks away. I mean, we only looked at

<v Speaker 1>five games, and there's a million other ones out there

<v Speaker 1>that are great matchups, and of course every team wants

<v Speaker 1>to win their opener. Statistically, it honestly doesn't matter that much.

<v Speaker 1>But you just feel a little bit better when you

<v Speaker 1>start the season with a W right, But what about

<v Speaker 1>when you start the season with a bunch of w's.

<v Speaker 1>What about when you start the season with a winning streak?

<v Speaker 1>Does that guarantee success? Well a little? But today our

<v Speaker 1>deal with those top five is counting down the best

<v Speaker 1>starts ever to an NFL season, and we'll look at

<v Speaker 1>how each one of these teams actually ended up. So

<v Speaker 1>we actually have a four way tie at number five.

<v Speaker 1>Because four teams have started the NFL season by winning

<v Speaker 1>their first thirteen games. It's a lot of wins. In

<v Speaker 1>twenty eleven, Aaron Rodgers led the Green Bay Packers to

<v Speaker 1>win their first thirteen games, but they would eventually lose

<v Speaker 1>to the New York Giants in the playoffs. The two

<v Speaker 1>thousand and nine New Orleans Saints won their first thirteen

<v Speaker 1>games as head coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees

<v Speaker 1>would go on to win Super Bowl forty four. The

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and five Indianapolis close won thirteen games as

<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning and that offense were torching opponents. But then

<v Speaker 1>they got to the playoffs and they actually got smacked

<v Speaker 1>in the mouth by the Pittsburgh Steelers and lost in

<v Speaker 1>the divisional round. And then the nineteen ninety eight Denver

<v Speaker 1>Broncos were coming off of winning the Super Bowl with

<v Speaker 1>Terrell Davis and John Elway in ninety eight. They started

<v Speaker 1>the season thirteen and oh and then May lost the

<v Speaker 1>game to the New York Giants, but the Broncos would rally.

<v Speaker 1>They would end up winning Super Bowl thirty three. Starting

<v Speaker 1>the season thirteen to oh seems like you'd almost be

<v Speaker 1>guaranteed to win the Super Bowl. But today we have

<v Speaker 1>four teams that did it, and the Super Bowl winning

<v Speaker 1>percentage was only fifty percent. Those thirteen game winning streaks

<v Speaker 1>to start the season coming today tied at number five,

<v Speaker 1>and I guess number four, So we moved to number

<v Speaker 1>three and we have another tie, but it's just between

<v Speaker 1>two teams. Because back in twenty fifteen, the Carolina Panthers

<v Speaker 1>had a pretty good defense and they had the MVP

<v Speaker 1>in quarterback Cam Newton. They started the season with an

<v Speaker 1>amazing fourteen and oh record. They rolled to the Super Bowl,

<v Speaker 1>but then in Super Bowl fifty they were beaten by

<v Speaker 1>a little bit better defense when Von Miller and the

<v Speaker 1>Denver Broncos were the beginning of the of Newton's career,

<v Speaker 1>also starting with fourteen wins in a row. We're the

<v Speaker 1>two thousand and nine Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning and that

<v Speaker 1>offense got to avoid their nemesis to New England Patriots,

<v Speaker 1>so they went all the way to the Super Bowl,

<v Speaker 1>and in Super Bowl forty four they were beat by

<v Speaker 1>those New Orleans Saints in the Big Game. Both of

<v Speaker 1>our number three teams started the season fourteen to zero,

<v Speaker 1>neither one of them ended up being Super Bowl champions.

<v Speaker 1>They come in to day at number three. We moved

<v Speaker 1>to number two on our list of teams that started

<v Speaker 1>the NFL season the strongest, and we get to one

<v Speaker 1>that still owns a slice of history because the nineteen

<v Speaker 1>seventy two Miami Dolphins are the only team in NFL

<v Speaker 1>history to finish the entire season without a single loss.

<v Speaker 1>Don Shula led a team that featured both Earl Morrile

<v Speaker 1>and Bob Greasy at quarterback, plus they had Mercury Morris Dad,

<v Speaker 1>Larry zamkab be a Jim kick. They have that nasty

<v Speaker 1>defense that held opponents to just twelve points per game.

<v Speaker 1>The Dolphins went fourteen to oh in the regular season,

<v Speaker 1>then they beat Cleveland and Pittsburgh in the playoffs, and

<v Speaker 1>then they beat Washington in Super Bowl seven. The seventy

<v Speaker 1>two Miami Dolphins won seventeen games in a row to

<v Speaker 1>start the season, they won the Super Bowl, and they

<v Speaker 1>come in today at number two. So we reached the

<v Speaker 1>number one team on our list of NFL teams that

<v Speaker 1>had the strongest start in history. And we go to

<v Speaker 1>the two thousand and seven New England Patriots. Bill Belichick

<v Speaker 1>had maybe his best team ever with Tom Brady and

<v Speaker 1>Randy Moss and Wells Welker and Lawrence Maroney and Kevin

<v Speaker 1>Faalk and Teddy Bruski and Junior Sea and Rodney Harrison.

<v Speaker 1>That team was loaded. The Patriots finished the regular season

<v Speaker 1>sixteen to h. They beat the Jaguars, they beat the

<v Speaker 1>Chargers to go eighteen to oh, and then went to

<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl forty two, where they were double digit favorites

<v Speaker 1>to beat the ten and six New York Giants. Of course,

<v Speaker 1>Nolan told the Giants they beat up Brady, and of

<v Speaker 1>course Eli Manning made that improbable throw to David Tyree

<v Speaker 1>and the Giants pulled off one of the biggest upsets

<v Speaker 1>in Super Bowl history. The New England Patriots have the

<v Speaker 1>longest winning streak at eighteen games to start an NFL

<v Speaker 1>season in history. They just didn't win the Super Bowl. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>expectations change when you start the season so strong. The

<v Speaker 1>target on your back gets bigger as you win all

<v Speaker 1>those games, and you start feeling the pressure of winning

<v Speaker 1>every single week, and all those things tell us why

<v Speaker 1>out of the eight teams on our list today, only

<v Speaker 1>three of them ended up winning the Super Bowl. Hey,

<v Speaker 1>next week in the Daily Does, playtime is over. The

<v Speaker 1>football season is going to beginning. Here we will be

<v Speaker 1>breaking down the coming college football season as only we can.
