The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz

"It begins by giving power to people who shouldn't have it."



After putting a bow on some topics from earlier in the show, Carl Douglas joins Dan and the Shipping Container to discuss the ongoing protests in Minneapolis after yet another American citizen was killed by officers. He and the crew dive into the violence perpetrated by ICE and Customs and Border Protection, the framing by the Trump Administration, and what to expect moving forward.

"I DON'T GET STRIKES, MOTHERBLEEPER. I GIVE 'EM."

Dan questions whether there have been five good football movies ever made and continues to argue for the Rams, suggesting they play a 7-game series with the Seahawks. We get it, dude. You love Puka's hands.

"That's little d energy."



Despite spending two months arguing that head-to-head is the only thing that matters on behalf of the University of Miami, Dan spends an entire hour insisting he's not sure the Seahawks are better than the Rams after their head-to-head victory. Also, the City of Hialeah is searching for revenge against Ben Affleck.



Today's cast: Dan, Zaslow, Roy, Jeremy, Mike, and Tony.

Will the 12th Man in Seattle and a stout defense be enough for the Seahawks against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams? (What about Soup's beloved Sam Darnold?
